An Jing couldn’t help but laugh and cry. Her second son had become addicted to collecting valuable and rare items since birth, and it seemed that this hobby wouldn’t change anytime soon. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
However, her son didn’t steal or rob, so An Jing said nothing about it. Anyway, it seemed that her second son wouldn’t listen even if she did say anything.
Xiao Changyi glanced at his other three sons before taking the battle helmet off Su Yi Jing’s head. Seeing Su Yi Jing’s gaze following the helmet’s movement, he asked softly, "Do you still want to wear it?"
Su Yi Jing shook his head. After a moment, he quietly asked, "Father, can I hold it?"
"Yes," Xiao Changyi gave the battle helmet to Su Yi Jing, and Su Yi Jing immediately smiled with joy.
Because the battle helmet was somewhat heavy, Su Yi Jing couldn’t hold it up and had to clutch it with both hands. His bright eyes remained fixed on the helmet, showing that he not only liked it but was also reluctant to part with it.
Seeing Su Yi Jing , a slight smile tugged at Xiao Changyi’s cool lips, and a warmth filled his usually cold eyes.
Gently patting Su Yi Jing’s head, Xiao Changyi then stood up, "It’s too cold here; we shouldn’t stay out in this weather."
An Jing was also worried that their four children might catch a cold, so she intended to head to Jun Palace with Xiao Changyi and the children. They were at least three hundred meters away from Jun Palace.
Zhuiri and Moon Stepping had already been led to the stables by the guards. Ning Wenxian was standing beneath the steps outside Jun Palace. Upon seeing An Jing and Xiao Changyi approaching with the four children, she greeted them with a smile, "Dear brother and sister-in-law, you’ve had it hard these past two years away."
An Jing smiled too, "You took care of our four children; you’ve been through a lot as well."
"Sister-in-law, it’s nothing to talk about exhaustion when all I did was help look after Jing’er and the others," Ning Wenxian said, slightly turning to invite An Jing and Xiao Changyi into Jun Palace. It was getting colder outside.
Inside Jun Palace, it wasn’t cold at all; it was quite warm.
The four children sat, two on either side of Xiao Changyi, and two on either side of An Jing. Su Yi Jing still held onto Xiao Changyi’s battle helmet, unwilling to let go.
After being away for so long, the atmosphere was joyful and harmonious.
After spending a little time in Jun Palace, An Jing and Xiao Changyi took the four children to Fenghua Palace.
Fenghua Palace was still unoccupied. It was once left by Su Haoyu for Xiao Changyi to reside in, and now it was offered by Su Chengyu for Xiao Changyi and An Jing to stay.
There was a celebration banquet in the evening, so Xiao Changyi and An Jing did not return to the mansion but planned to stay in the palace for the night and return to the mansion with the children tomorrow.
As Xiao Changyi removed his battle armor, the four children surrounded him, watching their father take off his battle armor. They genuinely thought their father was incredibly handsome, admiration glistening in their young eyes.
Once Xiao Changyi took off the battle armor, had a hot bath, and changed into regular clothes, he noticed Su Yi Jing was still clutching his battle helmet. He couldn’t help but be amused.
Approaching Su Yi Jing, he bent down and asked warmly, "Is holding it making you tired?"
Su Yi Jing immediately shook his head, smiling, "Not tired."
An Yiqing rushed over to hug one of Xiao Changyi’s legs, looking up with a giggle, "Dad, since big brother likes it so much, why don’t you just give him the battle helmet."
Xiao Changyi’s face was expressionless, but he reached out to ruffle An Yiqing’s head, "This battle helmet is too big; it wouldn’t be of any use to him."
Then, Xiao Changyi turned to Su Yi Jing and said, "Jing’er, return the battle helmet to daddy. When we get home, I’ll have someone craft a smaller one for you and make you a suit of armor as well. How about that?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yi Jing immediately let go of the battle helmet and handed it back to Xiao Changyi.
