Chapter 1534:
Another Ace Up Her Sleeves
It was almost a year after what had happened with Little Apple.
Huo Yunshen knew that Jing Xi had only buried that sadness and did not forget about it.
But as long as it remained buried, Jing Xi would still be able to live happily.
The word “apple” had become a taboo in their family.
They would never eat apples nor did they have any art related to apples. Huo Yunshen every threw away all his Apple products.
…
As time flew, Christmas Eve arrived.
Huo Yunshen and Jing Xi were getting prepared for their plan.
The kids had already fallen asleep when they got home.
After the shower, Huo Yunshen kneeled in front of his wife and was giving her a leg ma.s.sage.
“Hubby, I’m planning to let my mother perform tomorrow,” Jing Xi said.
“Why’s that?” Huo Yunshen asked.
Their original plan was to let Jing Xi pretend to be Jing Ruyue.
“I’m trying to fulfill her dream. I bet my dad wants to see mom on stage again,” Jing Xi said. “I will go on in her place only if she’s not feeling well.”
“I see…” Huo Yunshen paused and nodded. “All right, we’ll do that then.”
Since it was Jing Ruyue’s comeback performance, there was nothing better than letting the real thing perform on stage.
“I’m a little worried she might not come tomorrow.” Jing Xi expressed her worries while clasping her hands.
She was worried that Lady White Tea might not get baited, even after they had been planning for so long.
“Don’t worry. I’m sure that she will be frustrated when she sees the advertis.e.m.e.nt.”
“I hope so.”
“It’s almost time to sleep,” Huo Yunshen said as his hands moved further upwards.
“Yes. It’s going to be a battle tomorrow.”
Jing Xi lay down on the bed and was followed by Huo Yunshen.
“Shouldn’t we encourage each other before the battle then?”
“What? I thought you said it was time to sleep.”
“Yes, I meant the other sleep.”
“But that’s not what I meant!”
“What? You don’t love me anymore?”
“Of course I do!”
“Me too.”
As the night fell, the couple “slept” through a beautiful night.
…
Jing Xi had recorded a ma.s.sive advertis.e.m.e.nt as Jing Ruyue, and it was being broadcasted all around Estan.
A woman was staring at the screen as she was doing her best to hold back her anger.
The screen was showing an advertis.e.m.e.nt on a beauty product.
A beautiful woman stood at the beach as the wind softly breezed past her.
“Real beauty is that which can withstand time,” a beautiful voice said, coming from the advertis.e.m.e.nt, “and real love is one that can overcome time.”
Jing Ruyue slowly turned around to face the camera and continued, “And one with love and beauty is the true winner of all.”
The last four words made the woman looking at the screen erupted in anger.
She tore the papers in her hand and threw them into the air.
The woman swore that she would not let Jing Ruyue have a happy ending.
She still had an ace up her sleeve.
