After di
er, Xia Xin decided to leave the time for the father and son pair as she took her laptop and some doc.u.ments upstairs.
The housekeeper sent her to a guest room, this was where Xia Xinyi would live from now on.
"Miss Xia, if there"s anything you need, just tell me. There"s a bedroom right next to yours!" The butler uncle left after saying that.
Xia Xinyan"s beautiful eyebrows furrowed. There were so many rooms here, why did they have to go next door to this man?
Was it intentional?
Xia Xin sighed. Forget it, she wouldn"t mind about this matter. Anyway, that man would definitely not do anything to her.
Xia Xinxin sat on the sofa, holding a brush and drawing nonstop. Beside her were the few pieces of junk that she had thrown away.
She didn"t know why, but she was left with no inspiration. It was as if her mind was being restricted and her mind had become dull.
Finally, Xia Xinyan put down her brush and walked out of the room.
As she left the living room, she heard the sound of a piano playing a song that she was very familiar with. She once loved to play that song.
His mood rose as he thought about the days when he grew up in Xia Family. He felt extremely sorrowful in his heart.
If it weren"t for the framing five years ago, her grandfather wouldn"t have treated her like that. His grandfather had always treated her pretty well, and everything that had happened was all destroyed by Xia Xiaoran.
She thought of her eight or nine-year-old self sitting in front of the piano and playing this song. At that time, her grandfather would sit behind her and close his eyes to listen.
Unknowingly, tears were streaming down his face.
Suddenly, the piano stopped playing. Xia Xinyan suddenly realized that she had lost her composure and burst into tears. She immediately turned around and walked out of the living room.
The father and son duo who came out holding hands had smiles on their faces.
"Daddy, I"m going to see Mommy!" The little guy suddenly started to miss Mommy.
One of the maid auntie s pointed towards outside: "Miss Xia went out just now!"
Ji Mu Cheng was startled, "What is she doing out there?"
"I"m not sure, but I feel like I"m crying!"
"Daddy, is Mommy not used to living here? Why is she crying? " The little guy"s pretty face was anxious and worried.
Ji Mu Cheng didn"t expect that this woman would have so many scenes to play. She would feel wronged just by living here?
"Yu Chen, wait here. I"ll go out and find your mother!" Ji Mu City must know how much of it is worth for her to cry.
Xia Xin suddenly heard a familiar tune and thought of someone she would never see again. Her heart was in pain, and her eyes were moist.
Alone, she walked along the garden path under the streetlight.
The surroundings were quiet, and her mood gradually returned to normal.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of steady footsteps behind her. She couldn"t help but turn her head to look, only to see a tall and graceful body striding towards her from the dim yellow light.
Xia Xinyan was so frightened that her expression changed. She quickly raised her hand to wipe away the tears that she had not had time to dry.
"What are you crying for?" The man"s cold voice sounded out, carrying a questioning tone.
Xia Xinyan sniffed and immediately said lightly, "Who said I was crying?!"
In the blink of an eye, Ji Mu Cheng had already stood in front of her. Under the illumination of the street lamp, he saw the wet corners of her eyes and yet she still dared to be stubborn.
"Did I treat you badly? Or do you want to stay with me and let go of your tears? " The reason why Ji Mucheng was so angry was because he heard his son"s worry. If this woman were to continue crying, it would affect his son"s sense of belonging.
He would never allow that to happen.
Xia Xinyan"s heart was in a mess when she suddenly heard his question. She had a temper, "This has nothing to do with you. If I want to cry, I"ll cry. Why do you still care about me?"
"Of course I don"t care about you, but don"t let your son know you"re crying." Ji Mucheng lowered his voice and warned, "You"d better consider your son"s feelings."
"How did he know?" Xia Xinyan frowned and muttered softly.
Ji Mucheng saw her lower her head, and her thick, tear-stained lashes glimmered in the light, like the wings of a b.u.t.terfly, so mesmerizing.
Ji Mu Cheng seemed as though he hadn"t paid close attention to her face yet, but at this moment, he was able to calm his heart and admire her beauty.
Xia Xinyan"s facial features were small and delicate, with soft and beautiful lines. Her skin was also white and tender, with a hint of a young girl"s rosiness.
Ji Mu City was used to seeing women with heavy makeup. This pure and i
ocent girl in front of him gave him a special feeling, like a hibiscus blooming in the morning after the rain.
Xia Xinyan bit her lower lip, raised her eyes, and met the man"s impudent gaze. Her entire body stiffened.
Ji Mu Cheng remained unperturbed even after he was caught by her.
"Son, there"s a place like you!" Ji Mu Cheng"s indifferent tone resolved his embarra.s.sment.
Xia Xinyan turned her back, she didn"t want him to look at her in such an unbridled ma
er.
"I was born, of course it"s like me!" Xia Xinyan said angrily.
"Your skin is like yours, very fair!" Ji Mu Cheng teased.
Xia Xinyan turned around and glared at him, feeling that this man was making fun of her.
"Except for his skin, he"s all like me!" Ji Mucheng slightly raised his brows, feeling very proud of himself.
"I can"t be bothered with you!" Xia Xin became angrier as he thought about how his son whom he raised with great effort did not inherit her looks. This was already a heart-wrenching thing, but now this man was going to say it out loud with such a proud tone.
"Why are you crying?" Ji Mu Cheng suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her slender wrist, "If you don"t give me a reason, I won"t let you go!"
"Let me go!" Xia Xinyan didn"t expect that this man would actually lay his hands on her. Had he been eaten by a dog?
"Is it because you heard the tune I just played?" The man"s voice sank as he revealed the truth in a single sentence.
Xia Xinyan"s mind went blank as she turned to look at him.
"Does this song mean anything to you?" Seeing the look in her eyes, Ji Mucheng knew that his guess was correct.
"Why should I tell you?" Xia Xinyan was so angry that her face turned pale.
"Even if you didn"t say it, I"d have guessed it. Did you think of He Jiaxuan?" Are you sad? "
"How ridiculous!" When Xia Xinyan heard the name that made her feel disgusted, her expression instantly turned ugly. She fiercely flung his hand away and quickly ran forward.
She was so excited, could she have guessed correctly?
"He Jiaxuan!" The man gritted his teeth as he silently chanted this name. His mood instantly became agitated.
Was this woman recalling that man? She wasn"t crying because of Ji Mu City, but because of that b.a.s.t.a.r.d?
Thinking of this reason, the man"s expression became increasingly dark and unsightly.
Ji Mu City was smoking a cigarette at the entrance. After calming down a little, he went upstairs.
Xia Xinxin had already bathed her son. She took a pair of pajamas from the box and put them on him. She put them on his arms and legs, and then put them on the bed like a runaway wild horse, jumping and rolling on the bed and humming a small tune.
