Chapter 645: Chapter 645: Everything You Most Desire Can Be Achieved
Zhixi walked to the door of the suite, took out her key to open it, and immediately heard Xiaobao’s loud and excited voice.
…Pei Yuanchen must be playing games with the little guy again.
She rubbed her temples, bent down to change her shoes, and walked toward the living room.
The two of them were sitting on the floor again, the sound of the game so loud that neither Pei Yuanchen nor Xiaobao realized she had come back.
Zhixi, with a cold expression, went over and unplugged the TV.
“Oh no…” Xiaobao sighed in disappointment, turned his head, saw Zhixi’s stern face, and quickly smiled, “Mom, you’re back.”
Pei Yuanchen, looking annoyed, threw the remote control aside and glanced at her sideways, “I was about to win.”
“Pei Yuanchen, how childish can you be!” Zhixi glared at him fiercely.
“If I hadn’t helped you take care of Xiaobao, where would you have found the time to go out on a date tonight?” Pei Yuanchen snorted coldly, rubbing Xiaobao’s head, “Alright, uncle is going to sleep now.”
After saying that, he yawned, stood up, and staggered back to his room.
…This man always seems to be short on sleep.
Zhixi didn’t bother about him and picked up Xiaobao, “Alright, Mom is going to take you to wash your face.”
The little one hugged her neck, his expression somewhat serious, “Mom, did you go on a date?”
“…No, don’t listen to your uncle’s nonsense.” Zhixi explained awkwardly.
“Mom, don’t find me a step-dad.” He pouted, looking a bit wronged, “I only want dad.”
A lump formed in Zhixi’s throat, and her eyes started to feel warm.
“Mom promises you, I won’t find you a step-dad,” Zhixi forced a smile.
Now, she knew she couldn’t fall in love with someone else. Perhaps one day she would get over He Jingyao, but that might take her a lifetime…
At the thought, the sourness in her heart suddenly became uncontrollable, and her eyes reddened in an instant.
Xiaobao panicked immediately, “Mom, Mom, don’t be sad, that…”
He wanted to say that dad will come back for us, but remembering the promise he made with his dad, he didn’t know what to say and scratch his head in anxiety.
Zhixi, seeing the way her son was so eager to comfort her, felt a warm feeling inside.
“Mom’s not sad anymore.” She kissed the little one’s cheek, “Having you is enough for me.”
“Mom, that… you’ll definitely get what you wish for,” he scratched his head, finally finding comforting words, “Everything you really want is achievable.”
Zhixi couldn’t help but chuckle, “Mom really wishes for you to stop playing games in the future, can I really get what I wish for?”
“…Not that.” He was slightly embarrassed, “Mom, wishes are precious, don’t waste them. That’s not really what you want the most.”
Zhixi pinched his nose, “Do you know what I want the most?”
“Anyway, I just know.” He giggled, looking pleased with himself.
Zhixi couldn’t help laughing, although the little one’s attempt at comfort was clumsy, she still felt much lighter in her heart.
The next evening, Ning Yichen appeared at the hotel entrance on time.
Zhixi walked out of the hotel’s main door and couldn’t help but chuckle at the large bouquet of roses he was holding.
Ning Yichen looked at her calmly, “What’s so funny, aren’t flowers meant to be given?”
Zhixi shook her head with a smile, “It’s not funny to give flowers, but it feels quite amusing that you’re giving them to me.”
After all, they were just pretending, yet Ning Yichen seemed to take it so seriously.
