Chapter 1062: Chapter 1063: His Heart Belongs Only to You
Xia Ximeng paused slightly, looking at her.
Huo Yishan, however, smiled, although it was a bit forced. "So I believe that miracles exist in this world. Maybe you will always be with us."
Hearing the last part, Xia Ximeng couldn’t help but take her hand, "Silly child, I’m already over forty. How could I possibly always be with you all."
"But at least..." she wouldn’t leave them so soon.
Of course, Huo Yishan didn’t say this out loud and couldn’t bring herself to say it.
"Anyway, I’m just idling around the villa all day. Don’t worry, I’ll clear the data after browsing, and Li Yuan won’t know."
If this could make her feel better, less sad, Xia Ximeng was willing to let her be.
No matter how hard they looked, it was impossible for a miracle to happen.
If miracles happened so easily, could they still be called miracles?
"Then hurry up and clear it, because we’re going down for breakfast now. Your aunt has made lots of food for you today, along with some fruit salad."
Huo Yishan smiled, "Okay!"
After clearing the search data, the two of them went downstairs together.
At the dining table, Huo Yishan was eating breakfast. She thought of the messages Ruan Qiuting sent her last night and couldn’t help but glance at Xia Ximeng.
"Aunt."
"Hmm?"
"I... have something to ask you."
Xia Ximeng looked up at her, "Go ahead."
After hesitating for a while, Huo Yishan finally spoke slowly, "Is Li Yuan getting engaged to Ruan Qiuting?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Ximeng’s action of eating porridge instinctively paused.
This pause seemed to tell Huo Yishan the answer without her needing to hear it.
A few seconds later, Xia Ximeng looked at her and said, "Shanshan, no matter what Yuanyuan does, you must trust him. He has no feelings for Ruan Qiuting. You are the only one in his heart."
"So, the engagement is real?"
Xia Ximeng paused, momentarily lost for words.
She knew about the engagement, but she didn’t understand her son’s true intentions.
"The engagement was arranged after discussions between his father, grandmother, and the Ruan Family. As for Yuanyuan... he probably won’t go through with it." Given his feelings for Yishan, he definitely won’t get engaged to Ruan Qiuting.
Xia Ximeng’s words left Huo Yishan half-believing, as the last invitation was also sent by Ruan Qiuting without Li Yuan knowing.
Yes, she should trust Li Yuan.
Thinking of this, she looked up and smiled at Xia Ximeng, "I understand."
Seeing that she seemed to understand, Xia Ximeng no longer worried.
But after this breakfast today, she couldn’t continue to accompany her, because as a member of the Li Family, she had to go back today to prepare for her son’s engagement ceremony with Ruan Qiuting.
Regardless of whether the engagement would happen or not, as Li Yuan’s mother, she had to return.
"By the way, Shanshan."
"Hmm?" Huo Yishan took a bite of porridge and looked up at Xia Ximeng.
Afraid she would overthink, Xia Ximeng carefully chose words and found an excuse, "I need to visit a doctor today, so I might not be able to accompany you. Yuanyuan said he found a maid, she should be arriving soon. Is it okay if she makes lunch for you?"
The excuse was to prevent her from overthinking, but Xia Ximeng’s words clearly showed her concern for Huo Yishan.
"To see a doctor? I’ll go with you!"
Xia Ximeng shook her head, "Your uncle will accompany me."
