Chapter 779: Chapter 779 I Want to Break Off Our Relationship
Xiaobao somehow made his way back onto He Jingyao’s bed again, holding his feet with both hands, smiling and saying something to He Jingyao. He Jingyao seemed to be listening intently, with a warm, indulgent smile in his eyes.
The father and son nestled together, creating an indescribably warm and harmonious scene.
Zhixi suddenly felt a sting in her eyes and quickly lowered her head, suppressing the astringent feeling.
“Mommy is here!” Xiaobao suddenly exclaimed loudly.
Zhixi lifted her head, having already regained her nonchalant demeanor.
She walked over with a smile, pretending to glare at her son first, “Did you wake Daddy up?”
“I did not!” Xiaobao protested with wide eyes, “Mommy, I think you favor Daddy the most!”
In Mommy’s heart, Daddy was always number one.
Xiaobao thought huffily.
He Jingyao raised an eyebrow and pinched his son’s cheek, saying, “Right, your mommy loves me the most. Do you accept that?”
Xiaobao cried out in frustration.
Zhixi couldn’t help but laugh and cry. She hurried over to comfort her son and then glared at someone, “Why are you picking on him?”
He Jingyao’s lips curled slightly, “Isn’t it true?”
Zhixi suddenly felt guilty.
She let go of Xiaobao, reached out to touch He Jingyao’s forehead, and felt it wasn’t as hot. She quietly breathed a sigh of relief, “The fever has finally gone down. Anyway, how did you get sick?”
He Jingyao played with her hand, his tone casual, “Intentionally. If I didn’t get sick, how would he have let me go?”
“But… but you shouldn’t torment your own body like that!” Zhixi’s tone was slightly reproachful.
He Jingyao let out a laugh, caressing her face, “It’s all your fault.”
Zhixi was taken aback, “My fault?” This update is available on novel✶fire.net
“Blame your beauty; I desperately wanted to see you,” he said, his eyes smiling, his voice deep and suggestive.
Zhixi paused, and tears suddenly surged out uncontrollably.
He Jingyao did not expect such a strong reaction from her and was caught somewhere between laughter and tears.
He reached out to embrace her; “I’m now certain you’re carrying a little girl.”
Otherwise, why be so sentimental.
“Why is Mommy crying?” Xiaobao looked at her in surprise.
“…Mommy is fine.” Zhixi suddenly felt embarrassed, quickly looking up and diverting the subject, “You must be hungry, let me go and bring the porridge.”
With that, she hurriedly left.
He Jingyao watched her retreating figure, his eyes showing deep contemplation.
Zhixi walked out of the room, stared blankly for a while, and finally made up her mind.
She took out her phone and made a call to Gu Bingjun.
Gu Bingjun, upon receiving her call, was not surprised, and before she could speak, he said, “Don’t worry, I’m doing fine. Zhuo Yuwei has arranged for someone to take me on inspections, he won’t do anything drastic unless absolutely necessary.”
“Dad…” Zhixi began, her voice slightly choked, “I want to discuss something with you.”
“Hmm?” Gu Bingjun sensed something, and his voice deepened.
“I… You know, because I’m your daughter, that’s why Zhuo Yuwei is trying to stop me from being with Jingyao, fearing that you would become his ally. So, I was thinking…” Zhixi bit her lip and spoke with difficulty, “Legally, I want to sever ties with you, to give up my right to your inheritance…”
“Zhixi!” Gu Bingjun suddenly erupted in anger, “What nonsense are you spouting! For He Jingyao’s sake, you’re even willing to turn your back on your own father?”
