Chapter 367: Chapter 367: It Used to Look Better
Even though Jingxi is Beichen Rui’s son, she also doesn’t want to be separated from Jingxi.
Thinking about Jiang Shihan’s engagement with him, and how she herself is nothing, will Jingxi still call her mommy in the future?
Her heart ached; after all, he was her son, and their relationship could not be made public. This feeling was truly unsettling.
It was as if she was someone who couldn’t see the light of day, destined to live in darkness forever.
Lowering her gaze and calming her emotions, she finally spoke, "Jingxi, come back with me, I’ll make you something to eat, okay?"
Jingxi looked at her in a daze, somewhat unable to understand where her emotions came from. He got down from the chair and walked over to Ye Xinluo, grabbing her arm, "Mommy, what’s wrong with you?"
Ye Xinluo shook her head, forcing a smile, "It’s nothing."
"Mommy, do you not want to be here? It’s okay, I’ll go home with you, alright?"
Watching the two of them, Beichen Rui’s heart was pierced, and he pursed his lips, ultimately unable to say a word.
After finishing breakfast, she took Jingxi home, leaving Beichen Rui alone to stare blankly at the vast villa.
For the next week, Ye Xinluo was very busy every day, not because her work was demanding, but because she didn’t know how to get along with Beichen Rui; thus, she kept desperately finding things to do.
Soon, the weekend arrived, today is December 25th, Christmas, also Jingxi’s birthday.
Early in the morning, Ye Xinluo got up to prepare the things needed for today’s outing.
The day before, Jingxi had asked Beichen Rui, and he replied that he was busy with work today and told them to go ahead, saying he would come later.
Ye Xinluo prepared a small backpack for the little one, filled with snacks.
Today Jingxi wore the parent-child outfit he wore last time and insisted that she wear it with him. Unable to refuse him, Ye Xinluo wore it too.
"Ding dong..."
The doorbell rang, and Jingxi ran to open the door. As he opened it, he saw Lan Shan standing at the door.
Today, she abandoned her usual high heels for flat shoes, dressed in a white dress with a knee-length coat.
Generally, a skirt should be paired with high heels, but because Lan Shan is tall and slender, even in flat shoes, she didn’t lose any elegance.
Lan Shan walked into the house and smiled at the little one, "Jingxi, are you ready to go?"
Jingxi nodded, stared at Lan Shan for a while, and then slowly said, "Godmother, you seem shorter today."
Lan Shan: "..." She usually wore high heels a lot, so switching to flat shoes was definitely different!
"So, do I look pretty today?"
Jingxi replied, "Pretty," with a sweet smile, "but Godmother looked better before."
Lan Shan was speechless; this little guy’s sharp tongue was getting more and more impressive. It’s just flat shoes, does he have to be like this?
She was about the same height as Ye Xinluo. When she first joined Beichen Group, she almost didn’t get in... but thankfully, she could wear high heels.
Ye Xinluo, carrying a small backpack in one hand and her own bag in the other, walked up to them, "Shanshan, Jingxi, let’s go."
The three of them left the house. Since they were going out for fun today, Lan Shan didn’t drive; they unanimously decided to take a cab.
By the time they arrived at the entrance of the amusement park, an hour had passed. As they got out of the car, they saw a long line at the park’s entrance.
Lan Shan took out several tickets from her bag and asked in confusion, "Xinluo, you asked me to buy four tickets, but there are only three of us. Who’s the other one for?"
