Chapter 1191: You Still Have Me!
Lu Xingzhi: "..."That was indeed direct and straightforward enough.
"Little Zhi Liao, why do I feel like you’re even more beautiful than before? Could it really be the nourishment of love?" Helian Xi rubbed her chin, looking very much like a young noble teasing a virtuous woman.
"Are you saying that you’re not being nourished, and that’s why you don’t look good?" Lu Xingzhi wasn’t embarrassed by her teasing, and instead fired back.
Helian Xi: "..."
That hit the mark.
"I don’t need love. I have a son! I have my little lover." Helian Xi was most proud of having Little Crab, her son.
"Yeah, yeah, you also have me!" Lu Xingzhi smiled.
"That’s right! I also have you! We will always be good friends. For a lifetime, cheers!" Helian Xi raised her coffee cup, "To our friendship, cheers."
"Alright."
Helian Xi stayed at Lu Xingzhi’s place until Huo Jincheng came back, then left.
She had the good sense to know that her third brother found her to be a third wheel.
It was best to visit Lu Xingzhi only when he was at work.
On her way back, she first went to pick up Little Crab.
"Little Crab, Mommy’s here to pick you up." Helian Xi walked over, her voice much softer.
"Hmph!!" Little Crab huffed, turning his back to Helian Xi.
"What’s wrong? Are you mad at Mommy?"
"Mommy went out to play without me." Little Crab, at a little over two years old, could say many things.
He just wasn’t very fluent yet.
"Mommy didn’t go out to play! Mommy had things to do." Helian Xi was still getting used to being a mom and was trying to adapt.
"Liar, Daddy said you went out to play." Little Crab directly sold Gu Jin Yan out.
"Mommy went to see your Auntie. Look, Auntie even bought you a toy car!" Helian Xi raised the box she was holding.
Seeing the toy car, Little Crab was no longer angry and said happily, "I want to play."
"Then say, do you love Mommy?" Helian Xi cursed Gu Jin Yan in her mind for talking nonsense around their child.
"Love Mommy." Little Crab nodded vigorously.
"Then give Mommy a kiss."
"Mwah~" Little Crab gave a perfunctory kiss on Helian Xi’s cheek, then went to hug his toy car.
"Honey, you’re back." Gu Jin Yan came home this morning, originally planning to take Helian Xi and Little Crab out for a walk together as a family.
Who knew Helian Xi had gone out.
The plan had to be shelved.
The tickets they’d booked for the amusement park would just go to waste.
"Yeah, why are you here?" Helian Xi thought Gu Jin Yan was still at home.
"I came to see Mom and Dad, and to see you... and Little Crab." Gu Jin Yan knew he’d made many mistakes, even if they weren’t fundamentally wrong.
But he had still hurt Helian Xi.
Now, he just wanted to work hard to correct his mistakes.
"Oh." Helian Xi’s tone was very flat, yet Gu Jin Yan would rather Helian Xi scold him.
Helian Xi’s demeanor was distressing for him.
And he deserved it.
After winning over Helian Xi, he had relaxed his efforts, even if he only wanted to provide a better life for her.
In the end, that’s just an excuse.
He had prioritized his career.
"Xiao Xi, I bought tickets for the water show tonight. Let’s take Little Crab to see it!" Gu Jin Yan said tentatively.
"Sure!"
If it was just a date with Helian Xi alone, she really wouldn’t have gone.
