Xiumu smiled and said, "Do you want to see the children first or the jewelry?"

"See the children?"

"Then come with me."

Li Yang followed Xiumu, the house was big, with quite a few rooms, and the children’s room was at the very back.

The two children were young, they were only one year old when first met, now they are around two.

Very soon, they saw the two children in the bedroom, Xiumu had specially arranged a crib to prevent falls, placing it right next to her bed.

Children truly are magical beings; Li Yang considers himself a person with strong desires, many trivial matters fail to evoke his interest now.

It’s like once you’re grown up, you won’t break your head over a piece of candy unless that candy is on someone you like.

The more one experiences, the less interest one has in many things, and has no patience for trivial matters.

Yet after interacting with children, his restless heart seemed to quiet down in an instant.

The two kids who weren’t even walking sturdily were carried by Xiumu over to Li Yang, who placed them in his arms, and they immediately planted a kiss on his face.

Of course, it might also be due to unsteady posture.

In that moment, feeling the soft, chubby little face, Li Yang felt as if his entire soul had been cleansed.

Nearby, Xiumu said, "Looks like the children quite like you! How about becoming their godfather?"

Li Yang looked at the children and said, "According to the customs from my hometown, as their godfather, they would have to take care of me in my old age and bury me when I die."

"So be it, taking care of you in your old age and burying you in death doesn’t sound bad!"

At this point, Xiumu brought the other child over, and Li Yang had one arm around each child.

Feeling their chubby little bodies filled his heart with a sense of satisfaction.

"Does Xiumu usually take care of the children alone?"

Li Yang asked.

"No, there’s a nanny at home, but I didn’t let them stay. They’ll come over tonight to help me with the kids."

Li Yang asked again, "Why are these two little guys so well-behaved?"

He wasn’t unfamiliar with holding kids; he had seen Wu Tianqi’s several ’non-biological’ kids in his past life and had played with them.

But those kids either rejected strangers or were incredibly mischievous to the point of driving adults crazy.

"Maybe they know you’re an important person and want to please you."

"I see you’re trying to make me feel guilty, Xiumu."

Damn, spending a few thousand on toys feels guilty; it seems like I should break my bones to boil soup for these little guys.

Ever since he held them, the little ones didn’t make a fuss, merely pinching their own faces with their hands.

Can you call that pinching when kids do it? That’s pure adoration!

After settling on the couch, Li Yang played games with the two little ones, who giggled incessantly, satisfying Li Yang’s sense of participation.

"The big airplane is coming!"

Li Yang held one child on each arm, sprinting from one side of the room to the other, ensuring the children were protected, then crashing into the couch.

Tired!

They had already been playing for half an hour.

Although the two were light, both refused to take a break even for a second, if only there was just one.

Beside him, Xiumu had already brought some tea, and seeing the children’s giggles, a smile never left her lips.

Taking advantage, she handed a cup of tea to Li Yang, asking, "How do you know what children like to play with?"

Li Yang replied without thinking, "Because I’m a child myself."

"I think you’re close to having kids yourself."

"Huh? How can you tell, Xiumu?"

"As someone who’s been there..."

Xiumu stood up, holding the two children, finding an excuse to take them away.

While sipping tea and resting, Li Yang pondered over Xiumu’s words.

He hadn’t planned on having kids so soon, but after playing with them today, he was momentarily touched.

But considering the reality, it didn’t seem practical, so he paid little attention.

Yet Xiumu suddenly made such a comment, making him feel seen through.

He’s not even twenty yet... How could Xiumu possibly think he’d want kids?

Not long after, Xiumu returned, "Now without the little ones bothering you, shall we look at things?"

Li Yang stood up, "Alright."

Playing with the kids was just a passing act; the ultimate goal was to buy something from Xiumu.

Under Xiumu’s guidance, they opened a door.

This door obviously could only be unlocked by Xiumu; others likely couldn’t enter.

As soon as he walked in, he saw a room spanning fifty to sixty square meters, filled with shelves and storage boxes.

There were also some items displayed directly, protected by glass domes to keep dust away.

Li Yang first saw a full-green bracelet, leaned in for a closer look, and remarked, "Xiumu really has good stuff here."

"It might just be a big piece of glass?"

"Look at the adhesive quality, full green and such fine jade bracelets, are indeed quite rare."

"Oh..."

Xiumu was a bit surprised; Li Yang seemed to know more than expected.

She approached, opened the glass cover, took out the bracelet, and handed it to Li Yang, "If you want it, I’ll give it to you."

"Something worth millions, and you’re just giving it away?"

Li Yang picked it up, inspecting it. Even with his non-expert eye, he could tell that this bracelet would definitely be worth tens of millions in a few years.

Currently, its value should be around two to three million.

Xiumu hurriedly said, "Not that exaggerated, it’s just worth a few hundred thousand."

Li Yang didn’t say anything, glancing at a nearby violet egg-shaped stone, nearly the size of a chicken egg.
