Zhixi couldn’t help but smile.
She looked up at him, "Jingyao, are you... not upset?"
With such news, it’s impossible for him not to feel anything at all... Official source is novel⚑fire.net
He curled his lips up slightly, rubbed her head, and said, "La Jiao’s child has nothing to do with me, that much I’m sure of, so don’t worry."
"Really?" Zhixi’s eyes widened.
"Mm." He Jingyao grasped her hand, "So, even if she insists on having the child, it’s none of my business. But my mom will deal with it, she won’t leave any trouble behind."
Zhixi furrowed her brows slightly, "Why... are you so sure?"
"Guess?" He laughed lowly, planting a warm kiss on her cheek.
Zhixi was a bit frustrated, "I can’t guess!"
"If you compensate me, I’ll tell you." He pinched her cheek, seemingly amused by her annoyed expression, "Too bad at the moment..."
His tone was full of regret.
Zhixi blushed slightly, pushing away his playful hand, "Jingyao, then... what do you think your father will do?"
"Maybe from now on, the He Family and HI Group will have nothing to do with me." He let out a hoarse laugh, "My shares, options, properties might all be taken back, I might end up with nothing... Are you scared?"
Zhixi shook her head vigorously, "No worries, after the baby is born, I will go out and work to support you!"
"Ha... But that will take another year." He raised an eyebrow, "By then, Xiaobao and I would have starved."
Zhixi immediately felt torn.
The situation seemed really tough now...
"No problem, we can lower our living standards." Zhixi thought for a moment and said, "I still have some savings, my dad gives me a yearly allowance, and I’ve saved a bit over these years... Don’t think I wasn’t working, I got my degree two years ago, I just took care of Xiaobao, so I usually take jobs online and complete them at home. I think it should be fine to hang on for this year."
He Jingyao lowered his gaze, saw her earnestly calculating, a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.
"Mm, then I’ll wait for you to support me." He chuckled softly.
"No problem!" Zhixi was somewhat eager to try.
He Jingyao couldn’t help but laugh again.
Probably only this woman would look forward to him becoming poor... Tsk.
Elsewhere, Liu Minjun arrived at Ziyi’s room.
Before the conversation, Liu Minjun had Ziyi take Xiaobao away, so Ziyi knew nothing for now.
She was still happily teaching Xiaobao to draw.
"Ziyi." Liu Minjun called softly, walking up to her.
"Mom." Ziyi turned her head and smiled at her.
Liu Minjun responded with an "Mm," her expression a bit complex.
She touched Ziyi’s cheek, "From now on, you absolutely have to be good to your brother, okay?"
Ziyi was somewhat bewildered, "How do I be good to my brother? He’s already so amazing..."
Liu Minjun thought the same, glanced at Xiaobao and smiled, "Then be nicer to Xiaobao."
"I’m already good to Xiaobao, I really like Xiaobao." Ziyi said, blinking at Xiaobao, "Right, Xiaobao?"
Xiaobao smiled and nodded, "I like auntie too."
Liu Minjun looked at their smiling faces and couldn’t help but laugh.
Things had reached this point, she could only trust Jingyao.
Since he decided this way, he must have his reasons.
