Chapter 368: Not even once!
Ji Weitian tried harder to help her up, the more Luo Xinyan cried miserably.
Kneeling motionlessly before her, she recounted her experiences over the years.
"Do you know how much I love children? When I first started dating Nanyu, I fantasized that if one day we had our own child, I would take good care of him, accompany him as he grew up. I never imagined I would have to separate from my own flesh and blood one day."
"Over these years, whenever I saw little boys on the street, I couldn’t help but wonder if my Ruirui was also that tall, also that big now... Because I missed my son so much, I suffered severe depression. If it weren’t for not wanting to leave him, I might not have had the courage to keep going until today!"
"To alleviate the longing for my son, I would go to the orphanage to help care for the children whenever I had time. While watching those adorable children, I would think, if one day I could see Ruirui, would he call me mom affectionately and act spoiled in my arms? But I can’t even see his face..."
Luo Xinyan cried until, all of a sudden, she kowtowed towards Ji Weitian.
With genuine emotion, she pleaded.
"Weitian, will you help me just once, please? Just once, even if only to catch a glimpse of Ruirui from a distance, that would satisfy me!"
"Xinyan, please don’t do this!"
Ji Weitian frantically tried to pull her up, but Luo Xinyan stubbornly knelt on the ground.
She refused to get up no matter what.
More and more onlookers gathered around.
Ji Weitian saw someone taking out their phone as if to take pictures and, without thinking, grabbed her bag and turned to leave.
"Weitian..."
Luo Xinyan had spent a not insignificant amount of time with Ji Weitian; she had been by her side throughout Ji Weitian’s pregnancy, believing she knew Ji Weitian’s temperament well.
She hadn’t expected that after four years apart, apart from Ji Weitian’s face still being enviably beautiful, everything else about her was like a different person.
Even after she had knelt down to beg her, Ji Weitian still remained unmoved and even turned to leave.
In a hurry, Luo Xinyan stood up, grabbed her bag, and chased after her.
She was running so fast, she didn’t notice a few kids horsing around outside the door.
Just as she pushed the door open to leave, a child stumbled into her, accidentally getting his haw fruit candy on her dress.
Luo Xinyan’s face turned sour instantly, just about to scold the wild child for not looking where he was going, when out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of Ji Weitian waiting for her by the wall. The words she was about to shout were forcibly suppressed.
With a forced gentleness, she squatted down and patted his head, "Little one, be careful when you walk, did that hurt you?"
"It doesn’t hurt, here, you can have some candy." The child generously offered the candy apple in front of Luo Xinyan, who looked disdainfully at the saliva on it, her body retreating more honestly than her mind.
Putting distance between herself and the child as if avoiding some germ.
The smile at the corner of her mouth was becoming strained, but in front of Ji Weitian, she still pretended to be happily praising, "What a good boy, auntie’s teeth can’t handle too much sugar, you keep it."
Then she affectionately kissed the child on the cheek before turning towards Ji Weitian.
With a tone of dejection, "If only Ruirui liked me that much too."
She thought that after saying this, Ji Weitian would comfort her a bit, but when she looked up, she found Ji Weitian’s gaze on her inexplicably cold!
