Taking in his expression completely, Ye Anxin smiled and patted his head gently, saying in a warm voice, "What’s wrong? Feeling sorry for her? Are you starting to regret being cruel to Chuxia?"
Hearing this, Xiao Bai’s fair and handso face showed a hint of an embarrassing blush. Pouting, he pretended to dismiss it, "I don’t feel sorry for her. She’s such a crybaby, it’s so annoying! Every ti she cries, I get a headache!"
Ye Anxin raised an eyebrow, saying with a hidden aning, "Really? You really don’t like her?"
Xiao Bai pouted, as a matter of course, "Of course not!"
Ye Anxin just smiled and said nothing more!
Mu Beiting, who had been silently sitting next to them, put his arm around Ye Anxin’s shoulders and said in a gentle voice, "Are you tired? If you’re tired, lie down and rest for a while. I’ll wake you up when we get ho!"
"Okay!" Ye Anxin lazily yawned, patted Xiao Bai’s head, and softly said, "Xiao Bai, you haven’t slept all night, you must be tired too! Sleep with mom together!"
Xiao Bai asked in confusion, "How did you know I didn’t sleep all night?"
Ye Anxin realized she accidentally let it slip and quickly laughed it off, "Look at you, your eyes are red and bloodshot, and you seed tired when everyone was having fun today. Isn’t it because you didn’t sleep? Your dad used to do the sa thing, so I figured it out right away!"
Xiao Bai frowned, incredulously asking, "Really? I’m not a kid, don’t fool !"
"Oh co on, of course, it’s true! Would mom lie to you? Sleep now, sleep! Dad will wake us up when we get ho!" Saying so, she hugged Xiao Bai, and they lay down on the bed together.
Xiao Bai blinked and, although he didn’t believe Ye Anxin’s words, he didn’t ask any more questions and instead closed his eyes, obediently falling asleep in Ye Anxin’s arms!
Listening to Xiao Bai’s even breathing, Ye Anxin soon fell asleep deeply too!
Mu Beiting sat by the bed, watching Ye Anxin and Xiao Bai tightly holding each other and sleeping. A touch of gentle light flashed in his eyes, and his thin lips slowly curved into a beautiful smile.
Because of the pregnancy, Ye Anxin hadn’t been getting good rest, and the past few days of activities had really worn her out. When they got ho, after having dinner and taking a bath, Ye Anxin went straight to the bedroom to rest!
Ti slipped by quietly, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye!
During these seven days, Ye Anxin continued her usual routine, going shopping with Yueyue when bored, sotis bringing along her mother. However, every ti they went out, Father Ye would follow them, his task being to carry their things!
All along the way, watching Father Ye take care of Mother Ye with considerate attention, Ye Anxin felt genuinely satisfied from the heart!
The one thing she was most concerned about in her life was her mother. Now seeing her mother happy, with a smile on her face each day, she felt happy too!
After this period of observation, Ling Yueyue gradually put aside her initial suspicions about Father Ye!
Today, the four of them went shopping again. Halfway through, Father Ye and Mother Ye went off on their own, leaving Ye Anxin and Ling Yueyue together!
Ye Anxin got tired from shopping and found a bench to sit and rest on, taking out a bottle of mineral water and drinking a couple of big gulps!
Ling Yueyue sat with her, fanning herself with her hand.
After drinking the water, Ye Anxin suddenly seed to rember sothing, pulled Ling Yueyue over, and curiously asked, "Yueyue, do you know what’s up with Gu Xingchen and Ruan Zhitong? Why did Gu Xingchen marry Lin Shengxia, wasn’t he engaged to Ruan Zhitong? And where is Ruan Zhitong now? I haven’t seen her since I ca back."
Ling Yueyue raised an eyebrow, indifferently saying, "It’s a matter of the Gu Family, I don’t know much! But three years ago, Gu Xingchen suddenly canceled his engagent with Ruan Zhitong and married Lin Shengxia at rocket speed! Then Ruan Zhitong disappeared, and nobody has seen her since. It’s like she completely vanished from this world! I was curious too and asked Mr. Huo, but he seed to know nothing about it either!"
"Three years ago?" Ye Anxin muttered these three words, frowning as if pondering sothing!
Seeing her serious expression, Ling Yueyue asked puzzledly, "What happened three years ago?"
Ye Anxin said aningfully, "Su Yuexin was also sent to prison by Uncle three years ago! How could it be such a coincidence?"
Ling Yueyue laughed and said nonchalantly, "Maybe it’s just a pure coincidence! I guess Lin Shengxia must have been pregnant with Gu Xingchen’s child at that ti, and Gu Xingchen felt responsible, so he canceled the engagent with Ruan Zhitong! And Ruan Zhitong couldn’t take the blow and quietly left Jin City! Just think about it, eleven years ago, she lost the man she loved most—Mu Beiting! Then three years ago, she lost the man who loved her the most! No one could take it, let alone soone as delicate as Ruan Zhitong!"
Ye Anxin shook her head, thoughtfully saying, "Why do I always feel that Su Yuexin’s imprisonnt has sothing to do with Ruan Zhitong? Otherwise, why did everything just happen to occur three years ago?"
Ling Yueyue patted Ye Anxin’s shoulder and said with a laugh, "Let tell you, if you told this five years ago, I definitely would’ve believed and supported you! But ever since I saw that scene five years ago, I’ve felt that Ruan Zhitong is indeed a good woman; she’s the kind who gives without expecting anything in return and doesn’t cling on after missing out!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Anxin frowned even more, confused and asked, "What did you see five years ago?"
"Five years ago, just after you had left! I didn’t know why you suddenly disappeared, but I knew it must have been because Mu Beiting mistreated you; otherwise, with how deeply you loved him, how could you have just abandoned him and the child to leave! So whenever I had ti, I would go to the Mu Family to seek justice for you! Once, when I had just arrived at the Mu Family’s gate, I saw Ruan Zhitong anxiously pacing outside! Just as I was about to go over and find out why, Su Yuexin suddenly got thrown out by the butler! Standing at the doorstep, Su Yuexin cried and caused a scene, speaking harshly to the butler, saying all sorts of awful things! Just when I couldn’t stand it anymore and was about to rush over and give her a piece of my mind, I heard Ruan Zhitong speak. I think, if she were truly a bad woman, she would never have said the following words!"
Hearing this, Ye Anxin couldn’t wait to ask, "What did Ruan Zhitong say?"
Ling Yueyue continued, "Ruan Zhitong said, since you can’t have it, let it go! Miss Ye has left, and Mu Beiting’s heart has died with her! If he really loved you, he wouldn’t have failed to give you a status until now! Junior, just let it go. If you can’t have it, don’t force it; this way, you can free yourself and find a man who truly loves you and suits you!"
