"Mom ?" Before Gu's Mother could finish speaking, Gu Li frowned and continued, "I'll send Xiao Xi out."
With that, Gu Li stood up and pulled Ye Xi out.
Gu's Mother looked at the two's figures in shock, a sigh stuck in his throat.
"Shed, what does Gu's Mother mean when he said my mother didn't move?" Once they walked out of the courtyard, Ye Xi pulled Gu Li's hand and asked anxiously.
Gu Li looked at Ye Xi with a complicated look in her eyes, her lips moved slightly, and then she suddenly said impatiently, "Xiao Xi, actually, we don't know whether mother Xu moved or left B City, or ?."
Scratching his head, Gu Li pulled Ye Xi's arm and walked forward, "In short, we are the same as you. We don't know where mother Xu is right now."
"?" Ye Xi bit his lips, his heart racing as he looked at Gu Li suspiciously.
Gu Li frowned, his head lowered, but he did not say another word.
Her actions further increased the suspicions and uneasiness in Ye Xi's mind.
Gu Li sent Ye Xi out of the alley, and watched him get into the taxi and leave. Then, he turned around and returned to the courtyard in deep thoughts.
Upon entering the door, he was fiercely grabbed by the Gu's Mother.
Gu Li was shocked, he looked at Gu's Mother and asked: "Mom, what are you doing?"
"What am I doing? I still want to ask you, what are you trying to do? " The Gu's Mother glared at Gu Li, "Let me ask you, why didn't you tell Xiao Xi that her mother is no longer here?"
Gu Li's heart tensed up, and his frown deepened. "Mom, Xiao Xi is only family to Mrs Xu in this world. If she knows that Mrs Xu is no longer here, how can she live?"
Gu Li said until the end, and then he was choked with sobs.
Gu's Mother's lips twitched, her eyes could not bear it anymore, "My daughter, you can hide this from me for a while, but not for a lifetime."
"How long can I keep this a secret?" Gu Li said worriedly.
The Gu's Mother frowned and patted Gu Li's arm, "You kids, it's just that you think too simply, your thoughts are not mature at all."
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Gu Li touched his arm that was injured by Gu's Mother.
Gu's Mother was somewhat a
oyed as she glared at Gu Li, "Have you ever thought about it? If one day Xiao Xi finds out that you hid such a huge thing from her, will she blame you? Xu Qiu was her mother, so should she watch the filial piety for her as her daughter? In these two years, she had not even gone to Xu Qiu's grave to pay her respects. Think about Xiao Xi's child's personality. If she knew that Xu Qiu was no longer in this world, what kind of person would she be with sorrow and guilt? "
"Gu's Mother sighed, her eyes reddened." I just pity Xu Qiu, she's even gone, and for the past two years, I've been lying alone in a cold place, alone, without a single person to visit ? "
"Mom ?" Gu Li choked with sobs, "You, don't say anymore."
The kind Gu's Mother shook her head, wiping away the tears in her eyes as she looked at Gu Li cautiously, "Daughter, change seats and think about it.
"Mom!" Gu Li could not take it anymore and shouted, "I'm angry!"
Gu's Mother's mouth revealed a helpless smile, and said in a displeased tone, "Look at you, even mother can't stand it. If your mother is still kept in the dark after being dead for two years, when you find out about it, won't you go crazy? "
Gu Li's tears almost fell as she hugged Gu's Mother, "Mom, don't say anymore, I can't take it anymore. You're not allowed to leave me your entire life."
Gu's Mother pinched her daughter's arm, "You, Mom knows you're worried about Xiao Xi, afraid that she won't be able to take it. However, there were some things that she had to take responsibility for. As a child, it was a pity that her mother had died and she was no longer by her side. If, after so many years, she had learned that she had always thought her mother was dead, the regret and pain were multiplied. "Daughter, Xiao Xi has the right to know about her mother's situation. None of us have the right to hide it from her, even if the starting point is for her own good. Do you understand what mom means?"
Gu Li's tears fell non-stop as she hugged Gu's Mother tighter and nodded.
It was already eight in the night when Ye Xi returned to the Royal Palace Hotel.
Walking to the door of the hotel room, Ye Xi realized that the door was opened, and was startled, then he walked in.
Lu Jingxing and Ji
ian were sitting on opposite ends of the sofa, one of them was holding onto a laptop while the other one was reading a French cartoon book, seemingly not noticing her return.
Ye Xi closed the door to the hotel and wordlessly walked to Ji
ian's side and sat down. He silently carried Ji
ian and sat on his lap, then lowered his head and kissed the curly hair on his head.
His slender fingers that were tapping on the keyboard paused, Lu Jingxing's cold eyes slowly shifted away from the computer screen, as he turned to look at Ye Xi.
Ye Xi could feel his gaze, his long eyelashes flickered, and she raised her head to look at him.
Lu Jingxing looked at Ye Xi's gloomy eyes, her lips moved but she did not say a word, frowning, she lowered her head, and continued to tap her keyboard.
Ye Xi's eyes flashed, he lowered his head to look at Ji
ian who was raising a pair of black eyes, sizing her up.
Ye Xi smiled at him, but that smile looked to be filled with worry, as she caressed his little face, "Have you eaten di
er yet?"
Ji
ian nodded and placed the comic book on the sofa. He sat on Ye Xi's lap with his legs crossed and his arms wrapped around Ye Xi's neck, his face leaning on Ye Xi's chest.
Ye Xi's heart softened as he hugged the little fellow tightly. A trace of warmth was added to his face as he kissed the little fellow's white brows.
At nine o'clock sharp, Ye Xi washed Ji
ian's face and put him on a soft bed. After covering him with a blanket, she gently kissed his little face, "Darling, good night."
Ji
ian's tender hands held onto Ye Xi's thumb.
Ye Xi was startled, she then sat on the side of the bed and used her other hand to caress his forehead, "What's wrong?"
"Mommy, I'll allow you to sleep with me today." Ji
ian raised her eyebrows and said.
Ye Xi was startled, he looked at the little red face on the bed and smiled, "Did the sun rise from the west?"
Ji
ian glared at her, and snorted, "If you're not willing, then forget it."
"No, no, I'm willing. I'm especially willing." Ye Xi chuckled, and shamelessly brushed his little face with the tip of her nose.
Ji
ian closed her long, black eyelashes.
Hearing his light snores, Ye Xi knew that he had fallen asleep. She held his hand and kissed his lips, turning the temperature of the air conditioner to normal before she left the bedroom.
After exiting the suite, Ye Xi saw Lu Jingxing standing on the balcony on the phone, quietly waiting for him in the living room.
Lu Jingxing leaned her slender body against the railings and crossed her legs. She stared at Ye Xi with cold eyes.
He had probably guessed that Ye Xi had something to say, and after saying something to the other side of the phone, he ended the call and walked towards Ye Xi.
