Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 567 - 441: Maybe There’s a Bit of a Misunderstanding

Chapter 567: Chapter 441: Maybe There’s a Bit of a Misunderstanding

As Yin Shixiu’s figure stepped assuredly into the room, Su Xiaomeng’s heart began to race more violently.

Meanwhile, Shuangshuang and Huang Huang had already thrown themselves over to him, and her hands, holding a bowl, were suddenly stiff and unnatural.

Her one-sided request for a divorce wasn’t going smoothly. Xu Cong’s withdrawal made her realize that, at least within her own capabilities, she couldn’t find another divorce lawyer willing to help her anytime soon.

It wasn’t that she loathed the tricks Yin Shixiu was playing, but the question that had always puzzled her became even more confusing after Xu Cong ended their attorney-client relationship with one sentence.

He said,

"I think...maybe you have a bit of a misunderstanding about your husband. I’m not dropping this case because of coercion from your husband, but because I feel that your relationship is still far from reaching the point of divorce. You are very much in love."

Xu Cong thinks she has a bit of a misunderstanding about her husband?

Where is the misunderstanding? And what is the misunderstanding...

He was just a divorce lawyer who had talked to her a few times and met with Yin Shixiu once...

As soon as Yin Shixiu came in, Shuangshuang and Huang Huang lunged over, hugging him tightly!

"Dad, have you eaten?"

"Is it cold outside?"

"You were gone for so many days..."

"Shuangshuang is going to be mad!"

"Dad, come in quickly!"

"Shuangshuang missed you to death!"

His two children were already used to his occasional long business trips.

For nearly a week, he hadn’t appeared, but Shuangshuang and Huang Huang didn’t find it strange. They just missed him, as usual.

Yin Shixiu picked up both kids, one in each arm!

"You’ve gained some weight!"

Shuangshuang hugged his neck, smiling with squinted eyes.

Prince Huang also leaned in Yin Shixiu’s arms. Unlike his sister, he wasn’t as bold and affectionate, smothering Yin Shixiu with kisses, but his excitement was still uncontrollable.

"Sir, have you had breakfast? I’ll get you some utensils."

Claire said this, and without caring whether Yin Shixiu had eaten or not, she quickly went to get him utensils.

Yin Shixiu hadn’t had breakfast. After playing with the siblings for a while, he finally placed them back in their children’s dining chairs.

Claire came over to tidy up the spilled utensils, busying herself.

Su Xiaomeng sat there, pretending to eat her meal casually, but the food was tasteless.

She pretended to focus on the sandwich on her plate, but her peripheral vision was almost entirely on the figure engaging warmly with the children.

He came over...

Xiao Meng noticed someone coming to her side. She attempted to nonchalantly reach for the milk, but not only did she fail to grab the cup, she also knocked over the milk.

The milk, having been recently warmed, wasn’t very hot, but the spilled cup still let off some steam, causing a startled reaction.

Surprisingly, it wasn’t the distracted Su Xiaomeng who was startled, but Yin Shixiu, who had just walked over and hadn’t even had time to sit down yet.

With a hand gripping the corner of the tablecloth, he quickly lifted it up.

Seeing this, Claire quickly came over to continue tidying up.

"Did it burn you?"

Yin Shixiu pulled her hand open, checking her as he asked.

Su Xiaomeng awkwardly pulled her hand away, saying blandly, "No."

"Dad..."

Sitting across from them, Shuangshuang looked at Yin Shixiu with big eyes, looking puzzled...

"Huh?"

"Why didn’t you kiss?"

Shuangshuang was confused. Every time Dad came home, Dad and Mom always kissed...

Su Xiaomeng’s expression froze again. With the children watching, she couldn’t show an attitude like she wanted to push Yin Shixiu away.

Right now, Yin Shixiu was nothing but a thick-skinned rogue.

It wasn’t hard to imagine that he was surely going to take advantage of her in this situation.

Who knew, she was all prepared to endure it, yet he still didn’t "thick-skinnedly" approach...

"No rush."

Shuangshuang pouted, looking a bit unhappy.

Nobody could thoroughly grasp the child’s mind, but one thing was undoubted: children only want to see their parents in love...

Su Xiaomeng pursed her lips, her thoughts again inexplicably complex.

Shuangshuang and Huang Huang chirped away like they had many questions to ask him, and many things to tell him.

Su Xiaomeng sat there; it was hard not to listen, making breakfast all the more unpleasant.

And at that moment, Claire attempted several times to start talking, but restrained herself.

After all, with the position of a servant, she couldn’t always speak up in every situation.

But seeing the conversation between the master and the children go on endlessly, and the lady silent all the while!

There was such an explosive topic this morning!

Completely in the middle of the quarrel of this couple who have been at odds for some time!

In the end, these two did well, one didn’t mention it, the other didn’t ask!

Claire truly empathized with the Chinese folk saying - when the Emperor isn’t worried, eunuchs fret to death!

If you asked Su Xiaomeng what she was really thinking now, even she couldn’t say.

If she had to describe it, it’d be a mess, not as resolute as a week before, nor does she want to drag on in this stalemate...

Her heart gradually calmed, the things that seemed like sky-collapse-earth-shattering a week ago, now seemed not so hard to accept after these days.

She had already prepared for the worst outcome.

Yet Eric announced his engagement to Chu Jiao.

"It’s the weekend today, did you have any original plans?"

Today is the weekend...

She originally planned to take the kids to the children’s library in the suburbs...

"Reading."

Prince Huang was particularly honest and immediately said.

Reading...

They hadn’t brought any children’s picture books from home, and there were few children’s libraries in London.

Shuangshuang and Huang Huang were growing up in a bilingual environment, but they hadn’t been sent to kindergarten yet, mainly speaking Chinese at home.

There’s only one library with Chinese children’s books, and it’s not far from here.

"Finish breakfast and then pack your things, okay?"

Huang Huang nodded heavily, while Shuangshuang really had no interest in reading, but she was her brother’s shadow. Seeing her brother quicken his eating pace, she didn’t hesitate to follow suit.

Claire was anxious!

Finally, she waited for the siblings to finish breakfast and go to their room to get their things ready.

She dawdled over clearing the children’s dishes...

And yet, the two of them remained silent.

Claire was scratching her heart with anxiety... not part of the family, not coming through the same door, how could this couple be so enduringly calm!

"Clai—"

"Yup!"

"..." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Claire was embarrassed, mainly focusing all her attention on the couple. Yin Shixiu suddenly called out to her, startling her, making the response seem a bit odd.

"Sir, do you have any orders?"

"Please, fry me another egg."

"Oh, okay."

Ju—just this?

Claire sighed, went into the kitchen, but her mind was still outside, thinking if the kids are gone and she’s not there, will the couple finally make some progress?

In the end...

Su Xiaomeng stood up,

"I’m finished eating."

"Uh-huh, I’ll be done shortly, wear something warm, it’s quite cold outside today."

In mid-February, London’s winter still seemed to be howling, today’s sky was a bit overcast, with a chill that suggested it might snow.

Su Xiaomeng pursed her lips, paused,

"Are you going to spend time at the library with us later?"

"Can’t I?"

"If you want to keep acting in front of the kids, go ahead."

"And you?"

"Endure."

"..."

After Su Xiaomeng finished, she went into the room, put on a thick coat, dressed Shuangshuang and Huang Huang warmly, and then came out.

Shuangshuang and Huang Huang were actually dressed in very festive clothes—bright red and purple!

The little ones were impeccably dressed, with Shuangshuang in a short red down jacket of a particularly fashionable cut, the soft leather gleaming like a little red pepper.

Prince Huang’s was the same style in purple, looking like a noble, quiet young gentleman.

The family went out, Claire was already withered, only hoping the couple talked things out before they came back today, or else, it’d really drive onlookers mad with impatience.

Yin Shixiu parked the car in front of the library, Xiao Meng led the children out, and Yin Shixiu followed but didn’t look like he intended to go in.

He squatted down and said to Shuangshuang and Huang Huang,

"Dad has other things to do, I’ll come pick you up at noon."

"Oh, okay."

The siblings responded like so, but they were actually quite disappointed inside.

Su Xiaomeng glanced at him and, without saying more, led the kids in.

Yin Shixiu parked the car in a slot and didn’t leave.
