Chapter 795: Chapter 795: As if the Two of Them Formed a World of Their Own
He Yirong and Xiaobao weren’t talking loudly, and Zhixi couldn’t clearly hear what they were saying.
However, it was evident that He Yirong’s mood had suddenly risen significantly.
Zhixi couldn’t help but look at the man beside her, “Your son is truly impressive.”
Even someone as stubborn and obstinate as He Yirong had been swayed by just a few words from Xiaobao.
He Jingyao chuckled and pinched her cheek as he said, “You are the impressive one. He’s plotting against your husband, and you’re not angry?”
“Not angry, because I know ultimately he is just worried about you,” Zhixi leaned on his shoulder and whispered, “Whether he likes me or not doesn’t really matter.”
After all, although He Yirong didn’t like her, he never forced her to leave Jingyao or did anything to hurt her.
Whether it was originally Ye Shutong or later La Jiao, he merely provided He Jingyao with more options, rather than forcing him to accept them. From He Yirong’s perspective, Zhixi could understand.
What was important was that He Jingyao always stood by her side; he had never let her down, so what He Yirong thought of her really didn’t bother her at all.
He Jingyao smiled, lifted her hand and gently kissed it.
During a break from reading, He Ziyi looked up and caught this moment.
She had never seen her brother show such tenderness, holding her sister-in-law’s hand as if they were in a world of their own, where no one else could intrude.
He Ziyi couldn’t help but stare blankly.
Suddenly… she felt envious.
Two hours later, they arrived at the old mansion.
Liu Minjun, having received the news, had been anxiously waiting. Once the car stopped and the passengers alighted, her gaze almost immediately fixed on Xiaobao.
“Xiaobao!” Liu Minjun embraced Xiaobao at once, and after holding and kissing the child for a while, she realized she had taken her grandson from her husband’s hands.
She looked at He Yirong in surprise, “How come Xiaobao was in your arms all the way here?”
“Um,” He Yirong gave a vague reply and quickly changed the subject, “I just held him for a little while.”
“Oh,” Liu Minjun didn’t press further on the topic. Her gaze then switched to Zhixi, stopping at her belly with a smile so tender and loving.
Zhixi suddenly felt the pressure increase.
He Jingyao chuckled and stood in front of Zhixi, blocking Liu Minjun’s overly intense gaze, “Mom, let’s go inside.”
“Oh, yes,” recalling that Zhixi was pregnant and shouldn’t be standing for long, Liu Minjun said, “Come in quick! Ziyi, ask the servants to prepare some hot food, your sister-in-law and Xiaobao must be hungry.”
After entering the old mansion, Zhixi didn’t see La Jiao.
Once seated, Liu Minjun served her food and continually asked about her pregnancy, occasionally chatting and joking with Xiaobao. Throughout this, any attempts He Yirong made to steer the conversation towards La Jiao were interrupted by Liu Minjun.
He Jingyao smiled subtly, “Mom, let her come over. I’m very busy and don’t want to waste too much time on this matter.”
Liu Minjun was annoyed, “Zhixi is right here!”
“It’s okay, Auntie,” Zhixi smiled, “I already know everything.” ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel_fіre.net
“All right then,” Liu Minjun sighed and gestured for a servant to come over.
Before long, the servant led a slender figure from one of the guest rooms.
