Chapter 439: Chapter 439: The Tricky Kid
When her breathing became shallow, Beichen Rui finally reached out and took out two batteries from under the pillow she was sleeping on, putting them back into the air conditioner remote control.
He turned off the bedroom’s main light, leaving only a bedside lamp. The dim yellow light cast a glow on Ye Xinluo’s face, making it hard to resist the urge to steal a kiss.
In fact, he did just that, lowering his head slowly and softly placing a kiss on her rosy lips.
Just like that, he gazed at her sleeping face for a long time... Just when Beichen Rui was about to turn off the bedside lamp and go to sleep, the phone on the sofa rang.
The sound wasn’t loud, but it was clear... This time, Beichen Rui clearly heard the lyrics.
"I’ve already fallen in love with you, longing to be together, but the gap between us is so wide... I can only fool myself, fool myself to let you go, can I hold you, even if just for a second..."
He got up and went to the side of the sofa, glanced at the caller ID, picked up the phone, and answered it.
"Mommy, where’s the call you promised me? Jingxi has been waiting for a long time but you never called." The little guy’s somewhat aggrieved voice came through the line.
Thinking of the previous call, he really wanted to give this little brat a good spanking. So, he replied blandly, "Your mommy fell asleep."
Upon hearing this, Jingxi on the other end of the line was slightly stunned, then quickly understood and chuckled, "Daddy, it’s you. Jingxi really misses you."
"Is that so?" Beichen Rui raised his eyebrows lightly... Was this kid sure he missed him? Who was so prideful before?
The little guy nodded vigorously, realizing he couldn’t see him, finally said, "Yes, yes, really, truer than diamonds... No, truer than cake..."
Beichen Rui: "..." This kid is crazy about cake!!
Then Jingxi continued, "Daddy, what are you and mommy doing over there? Why aren’t you coming home yet? Also, when I called mommy earlier, her voice sounded strange, she said she had a cold. Daddy, you have to take good care of mommy!"
Upon hearing this, the veins on Beichen Rui’s forehead throbbed... This little brat still dare to mention the previous call, if he wasn’t away, Beichen Rui might really have given his little butt a couple of slaps.
This guy, who did he inherit this from, to be so good at picking times... Not calling earlier or later, but right at that moment... Really living up to that saying, a child that causes trouble for dad!!
"Daddy, what are you doing? Why aren’t you talking?"
After a while, not hearing Beichen Rui speak, Jingxi asked.
"I’m thinking about things. It’s so late now, why aren’t you asleep?" Glancing at the time on the phone, it was already past ten, nearly eleven at night.
The little guy usually goes to bed early, why hasn’t he slept yet today.
"I don’t want to sleep. Daddy, when are you and mommy coming back?" The little guy asked pitifully, his voice muffled and somewhat unhappy.
For a moment, Beichen Rui’s heart softened, and he spoke gently, "Be good at home, your mommy and I will be back in a few days."
Jingxi replied, "Alright then, Daddy, rest early, goodnight!"
"Goodnight."
After hanging up the phone, Beichen Rui returned to bed, but couldn’t fall asleep no matter what. He looked in Ye Xinluo’s direction, feeling a bit confused inside.
After a long time, he reached out to touch her cheek. These days... he could clearly feel Ye Xinluo drifting further from him.
There was always a bitterness in his heart.
