Ye Xi looked at the man who was looking at her, and lowered his eyes in guilt.
He did not know when he arrived at the hospital nor did he know if he heard her conversation with Ji
ian in the washroom.
Ji
ian rolled his eyes and looked at Ye Xi, gently shaking his head, he pulled open the blanket and laid down.
Lu Jingxing walked in front of Ye Xi, looked down at her, and muttered, "I got ski
ier."
His words were spat out very lightly, like a gust of wind blowing past Ye Xi's ear, causing him to feel absent-minded, but he actually did not say anything.
Ye Xi frowned, she could not think of what he had just said even after thinking carefully.
Swallowing his throat, Ye Xi looked up at him, pretending to be at ease. "You've been here for a long time?"
Lu Jingxing lowered his eyebrows, "I just arrived."
Ye Xi stared at his calm face, unable to guess whether his words were real or fake.
Without waiting for her to discern anything from his expression, Lu Jingxing suddenly opened his arms towards her, and locked his cold eyes with hers, "Can you give me a hug?"
Ye Xi was startled, looked at his opened arms, then looked at his face, and frowned.
Lu Jingxing, however, couldn't wait for her to give or reject an answer. He took a step forward and hugged her.
Ye Xi's body stiffened, and was about to withdraw from his embrace in the next moment. He took a step ahead of her and tightened his arms around her.
Ye Xi was unable to struggle free, and was a little anxious, "Jingxing ?"
"Songsong, I miss you very much." Lu Jingxing brought his face close to Ye Xi's neck, gasping for breath, his voice hoarse.
Ye Xi's eyebrows twitched, he took a deep breath and asked: "Jingxing, are you tired?"
Lu Jingxing did not speak.
Ye Xi was panicking in his heart, his voice trembling slightly: "Jingxing, you just got off the plane, have you eaten yet?"
Lu Jingxing hugged Ye Xi tightly.
Ye Xi's eyes turned red, he did not dare move, and used both hands to push him, suppressing his voice as he shouted, "Jingxing, Lu Jingxing..."
Ye Xi realized that if a man didn't want to let go, no matter how she struggled, it would be useless.
Just like this, the more she struggled, the tighter Lu Jingxing would hug.
Ye Xi was terrified.
She didn't dare make a sound as she worried about Ji
ian who was on the bed and her tears of humiliation rolled down her face.
The ice cold liquid smashed onto Lu Jingxing's face, causing his back to tremble.
In the next moment, he took a deep breath, released Ye Xi and walked towards the washroom.
The sound of the bathroom door being slammed was heard, causing Ye Xi to lose all his strength as he fell down on the bed.
Covering her red eyes, a wave of exhaustion that exceeded what she could bear swept over her.
In the past two years, this was the first time Lu Jingxing had lost control of himself.
However, this made Ye Xi feel a deep fear and unease.
He couldn't help but make her reflect on herself. Had she been too tactful in rejecting him these past two years?
Ye Xi slowly lowered her fair neck, her calm thinking made her forget to cry.
Ji
ian was still young after all.
He couldn't tell that the two adults had hugged each other just now. He wouldn't have such complicated thoughts like an adult.
After seeing the two adults carry each other, one of them seemed to be angry as he slammed the door and entered the washroom while the other sat there depressingly in a heavy mood.
Ji
ian stared at the ceiling and sighed.
When Lu Jingxing came out of the washroom, he was already asleep.
Ye Xi stood in front of the french window quietly with her clothes draped over her shoulders. The black window had her blurry image carved into it, making it difficult to see her expression clearly.
Lu Jingxing pursed his lips, walked to her side, and fell silent.
Ye Xi looked at his own outline through the glass window and his eyes flashed. He slowly turned to look at Lu Jingxing and said, "Jingxing, let's talk."
"..." What do you want to talk about? " Lu Jingxing's eyes turned cold, and his tone became indifferent.
Ye Xi turned around and looked at him, his clear and watery eyes said, "Two years ago, on the highway, Song Xinan's car collided with my car in a car accident. Song Xinan died, and I was lucky to be saved by you and survived."
The fear that still lingered in his heart whenever he thought of that car crash was gone.
Ye Xi spoke calmly, as if she was talking about someone else and not herself.
"Because of you, I was reborn with the little guy who was less than three months old in my stomach. You are the savior of Ji
ian and I, and your kindness is enough to make Ji
ian and I feel grateful for our entire lives. So when you asked me to marry you in place of Song Xinan and help you sit as the one holding the Ferrousse's Family, I agreed to it in order to repay your gratitude. "
After Ye Xi said this, he paused for a moment and looked at Lu Jingxing, "Jingxing, I hope you still remember the request I made when I agreed to use my identity as Song Xinan to marry you."
Lu Jingxing stared at Ye Xi's calm and clear eyes, yet the softest part of his heart was overflowing with traces of pain. "Of course I remember."
Ye Xi pursed his lips.
At that time, the person who had the highest hopes of becoming the holder of the Ferrousse's Family was not Lu Jingxing, but Lu Encheng.
Ferrousse's Family is a famous family in France, both the black and white worlds have set foot in it, and its achievements are remarkable.
Gradually, more and more of the Ferrousse's Family came from's grandfather's generation.
Lu Jingxing's grandfather was Chinese, and his grandmother was the only one left in her Ferrousse's Family.
From Lu Jingxing's grandfather's generation, the Chinese people had gradually delved into the i
er parts of the clan.
In Lu Jingxing's generation, regardless of whether it was white or black, in Ferrousse's Family, it was already Chinese that held important positions.
The Black and White Realms had always acted separately, and Song Xinan's grandfather was the leader of the underworld.
Grandpa Song only had one son in his life. He originally wanted to let his son take over his position, but his son was pure and honest, and aspired to enter politics.
He had always disliked the way the underworld acted, and he had even insisted on returning to China, not even sparing to cut off his father-son relationship with Grandpa Song.
For more than 20 years, he had ignored his son until two years ago, when Grandpa Song was very ill. He sent people to investigate secretly and found out that his son had died accidentally more than ten years ago and had a daughter with his wife.
Not long after her husband's death, her wife died in depression. Her young daughter was sent to an orphanage. As for which orphanage, it was unknown.
At that time, Lu Encheng had obtained the support of many patriarchs of the Ferrousse's Family and was practically the person in charge who had already been decided.
But at the last moment, the person who held the power of the Ferrousse's Family was Lu Jingxing.
It was because Lu Jingxing had found the only granddaughter of Grandpa Song, "Song Xinan". Furthermore, she had a child with "Song Xinan".
Thus, in the end, Grandpa Song temporarily turned on Lu Jingxing's side.
One month before Ji
ian was born, Grandpa Song passed away, and he passed on the position of being the leader of the dark world to the unborn Ji
ian.
Ferrousse's Family had always emphasized loyalty and commitment, because Grandpa Song had bestowed authority to Ji
ian. Even if Ji
ian had not been born at that time, all the elders of the underworld had already treated Ji
ian as the leader and as their allegiance.
Even though it sounded unbelievable, this was the truth.
In the past two years, because of her identity as "Song Xinan", she couldn't return home.
Lu Encheng had lost the election, and although on the surface he still acted obedient to Lu Jingxing, they still addressed him as "Big Brother".
But in reality, Lu Encheng had never completely believed that she was actually "Song Xinan", who had been secretly investigating her multiple times.
Thus, in these past two years, she had always been very cautious in dealing with Lu Encheng's various investigations and investigations. She had to be extremely careful even in Lu Jingxing's castle, let alone when she was not returning.
After all, in the eyes of everyone in the Ferrousse's Family, Ji
ian was Lu Jingxing's son, the great-grandson of Grandpa Song.
If Ji
ian's true identity was not Lu Jingxing's son and Grandpa Song's great-grandson, at that time, Ferrousse's Family, who always kept his promise would feel cheated, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
This was why she had not contacted anyone in B City in France for the past two years. It was because she could not imagine, nor could she bear the consequences of her and Ji
ian's identity being exposed.
Thinking about it, Ye Xi's heart became heavy, he turned and looked at Ji
ian who was on the bed.
Seeing her worried look towards Ji
ian, Lu Jingxing squinted her cold eyes, "Songsong, I will definitely not let you and Ji
ian have any business."
Ye Xi looked at him, "Regarding your ability, I have never doubted it."
Lu Jingxing's eyes became a little warmer as he looked deeply at Ye Xi.
Ye Xi pursed her lips, "It's only Jingxing. I hope you understand that I am not Song Xinan. "
"I know." Lu Jingxing stared at her.
"Jingxing, can you tell me what you promised me two years ago?" Ye Xi was congealing Lu Jingxing.
Lu Jingxing's heart ached, "Songsong, I didn't forget."
"Can you tell me again?" Ye Xi said again as he stubbornly looked at him.
Lu Jingxing clenched his fist tightly, a trace of hidden pain flashed past his cold eyes. His clear and elegant voice became dim and hoarse, "I promised you that I would release you after I sat down as the person who wields the Ferrousse's Family."
Ye Xi smiled at him after he finished speaking, "Jingxing, regarding this point, I hope that we have always been tacit understanding. Once you completely grasp the Ferrousse's Family, and have no worries about the future, I will bring Ji
ian and leave this place. And I believe that in a short while, you will become the true controller of the Ferrousse's Family. "
Lu Jingxing looked at Ye Xi's fair and pure white face, his black eyes revealing a deeper meaning that Ye Xi could not understand, "Songsong, can I understand this? If I am unable to truly control all of the authority in the Ferrousse's Family, will you be by my side forever?"
