Chapter 386: Chapter 385: Promise Me Three Things
"What birthday gift do you want?" Beichen Rui suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Jingxi was first stunned, confirming that he was indeed talking to her, so she tilted her head and thought for a while, "I can’t think of anything right now, Daddy, can I tell you later when I think of something?"
Beichen Rui said, "Sure, tell me when you think of it."
Receiving consent, Jingxi smiled, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to her, "Daddy, I don’t want any gifts, can you promise me three things instead?"
"Oh? What are they?" Beichen Rui raised an eyebrow, waiting for her to continue.
Even the other three held their breaths, eager to hear what the little guy would say.
Jingxi chuckled and said, "First, Jingxi wants to eat cake every afternoon, just a small piece will do."
Beichen Rui: "..."
Ye Xinluo: "..."
Gong Shaoyu: "..."
Lan Shan: "..."... How much does she love cake?
"... Eating too much cake can cause cavities; you can eat it every other day." Beichen Rui said with no room for negotiation.
The little guy pouted... Not entirely satisfied with this answer, but it was better than nothing. Then she thought for a moment and said, "Jingxi doesn’t want to go to school."
"No." As soon as she finished speaking, Beichen Rui replied, "You’re still young, you have to go to school. You have one last thing."
Upon hearing this, the little guy wilted like a frost-beaten eggplant, but the next second, she pulled herself together, stared into Beichen Rui’s eyes, and said seriously, "Daddy, the last thing is... Jingxi doesn’t want to call anyone else Mommy."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, completely unable to understand why the little guy suddenly said this... especially Beichen Rui, who squinted his eyes slightly and spoke in a calm tone, "Why do you say that?"
Jingxi turned her head, looked at Ye Xinluo, then stared into Beichen Rui’s eyes, and smiled slightly, "Daddy, I, Ye Jingxi, will only recognize one Mommy in this life, I hope you can promise me."
She looked at him intently, her face devoid of the earlier playful expression, showing a mature demeanor...
... During this time, she could sense the subtle relationship between Daddy and Mommy...
Perhaps because Jingxi never had a Daddy by her side from a young age, she cares deeply about Ye Xinluo’s feelings. The way Ye Xinluo was lost and despondent for a while...
Since then, Jingxi realized that her dear Mommy seemed to be in love... It seemed Mommy had fallen for someone, but she didn’t seem to notice...
Although she knew that Daddy and Mommy were only together for her sake, when she saw Ye Xinluo like that, an inexplicable panic arose in her heart, and her mind was filled with all sorts of jumbled thoughts...
Eventually concluding that Daddy might like someone else... hence the third condition.
The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, with no one speaking. Gong Shaoyu, holding a doll, looked at Jingxi with a very complex expression...
It was clear that Jingxi relied on Beichen Rui a lot, is she... acting as a matchmaker for them?
Indeed, no matter how much one does, it cannot surpass the bond of blood...
After a while, Beichen Rui came to his senses, "Why bring this up suddenly?"
Jingxi shook her head, not wanting to answer his question, only persistently asking, "Daddy, can you promise me?"
Beichen Rui pressed his lips together and remained silent, an action that, in Ye Xinluo’s eyes, seemed unwilling... Does he not want to?
