After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 1299: Chapter 1296: Specifics

"Xu Yushi?" Bi Xia heard this name and laughed flippantly, "An affair?"

Hearing Bi Xia’s words, Ji Qiutang was initially taken aback, then laughed, "Don’t make fun of me, I’ve only got this bit of dark history, and you’ve remembered it all. Don’t forget, Xu Yushi had the affair because of your Fourth Brother."

Bi Xia’s face darkened, and she let out a cold laugh, "That’s why I remember it. Her own fiancé did nothing, all she knew was how to seduce someone else’s boyfriend."

Ji Qiutang: "...Can’t help it, when she said she wanted to break off the engagement, I was actually relieved and couldn’t wait for her to leave quickly."

Maybe realizing it’s not quite appropriate to talk about a girl like that, Ji Qiutang lightly coughed and continued the earlier topic, "As for my mother’s side, her sweetheart was her college classmate, but just as they were about to graduate, her college classmate died in a car accident. My mother was devastated by this, and later, two emotionally wounded people married each other. My father said that when they met, they both explained their situations and told each other that they’d only ever love that one person in their lifetime."

This sentence suited them perfectly, not interfering with each other’s lives, but also not doing anything to harm their marriage, so they became a harmonious... polite couple."

Saying this, Ji Qiutang smiled at Bi Xia, "Actually, what I’m telling you are all stories from my father, but their authenticity is quite reliable."

"You’ve never asked your mother?"

"My mother had complications during my birth, if I could ask her, the me you see in front of you might be a bit frightening." Ji Qiutang joked.

Bi Xia paused slightly, "Sorry..."

"It’s okay," this time Ji Qiutang truly raised his hand and rubbed Bi Xia’s head. Since it was Bi Xia who brought up his heartache, she didn’t brush off Ji Qiutang’s hand this time, finally allowing him to touch those soft black hair. Ji Qiutang was satisfied with half-closed eyes, looking at the lowered head of Bi Xia, who was rarely so obedient, and his heart unconsciously softened, "I’ve grown used to it, fortunately, my father has never hidden anything from me in this regard, so I know their circumstances very well."

"When I found out my father had someone he loved for life, I kept wondering what kind of person could make him wait his whole life. After meeting you, I think my father’s taste is really good."

"Oh," Bi Xia chuckled, "Self-praise."

"Kinda," Ji Qiutang laughed, "Actually, you can rest assured about entrusting your mother to my father, he really likes her."

"I know," Bi Xia tilted her head, "Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let him go up to find my mom. Do you think I don’t know what he’s up to?"

Speaking of which, Bi Xia asked, "I just want him to know, my mother’s background is still very strong."

Ji Qiutang was taken aback, and just like Bi Xia, when he saw the undisguised mischief flickering in her starry eyes, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter, and Bi Xia laughed out loud too. The two of them chuckled lightly, looking at the peaceful interaction opposite them, feeling a bit of the tranquility of years passing.

The girl beside them still dressed like a boy, but she had let go of any pretenses, her expression increasingly becoming that of a young daughter. Ji Qiutang’s gaze unconsciously glanced toward her, and upon seeing her smiling face, his eyes softened, quietly sitting on the sofa, carefully watching her with sidelong glances.

Suddenly, a light cough was heard, Ji Qiutang was startled, instantly straightening up and looking where the sound came from, only to see his father standing at the staircase with Xia Shi’s suitcase, looking at him meaningfully. Just when Ji Qiutang wanted to speak, he naturally looked at Bi Xia, who had stood up, "Little Nine, everything’s packed. Tomorrow is Xiaoyuan’s birthday, the hotel is booked, and your grandfather’s idea is to take this opportunity to announce your gender tomorrow, what do you think?"

With a hand in her pocket, listening to Ji Han’s words, she turned to look at Xia Jingshen, who was no longer playing chess with Elder Ji but was seriously looking at Bi Xia, clearly waiting for her response.

Bi Xia paused, her starry eyes slightly gathering as she looked at Bi Xiaoyuan standing at the door, gently touching the pendant at her neck, then shaking her head after a while, "Tomorrow, Xiaoyuan’s birthday should be quiet; I don’t want him exposed to these things too early, he’s still young."
