“After Jingyao grew up, I told him this secret. I originally thought he would be angry, but unexpectedly, Jingyao told me not to worry, and even said that even if one day his father knew this secret, he would take good care of Ziyi and wouldn’t let her suffer any grievances.” Liu Minjun wiped the corner of her eye with the back of her hand and smiled with reddened eyes. “So that day, he simply complied with Yizheng’s wishes, so no one would question Ziyi’s origins. I’m really not a qualified mother; at that time, I was only worried about Ziyi, and didn’t think much about Jingyao.”
“Auntie, you don’t need to blame yourself.” Zhixi choked slightly before saying, “Protecting Ziyi is not only your wish but also Jingyao’s, so he would never blame you.”
Ziyi has a simple personality and is unfamiliar with worldly matters. Once she loses strong support, she might not be able to take care of herself well.
But it’s different for Jingyao; his greatest reliance has never been the He Family, but himself.
So even if he leaves the He Family, he remains He Jingyao.
“That’s easy to say, but as a mother, I can’t favor one child over another.” Liu Minjun shook her head self-deprecatingly, “Jingyao didn’t grow up by my side from a young age, and with his outstanding talent, he’s never needed me to worry, so I naturally neglected him. I’ve really failed in my duty.”
It wasn’t until this incident with Jingyao that Liu Minjun suddenly realized she knew very little about her son, not even understanding what he had truly endured.
Zhixi opened her mouth but couldn’t find comforting words.
She genuinely felt heartache for him.
“Fortunately, Jingyao still has you.” Liu Minjun smiled through tears. “You should rest first; I’ll check the kitchen, and tonight I’ll prepare a welcome dinner for you and Xiaobao.”
After Liu Minjun left, Zhixi turned around and walked into the room.
The room’s decor remained the same as last time.
Zhixi walked over to the display shelf and, seeing the various dinosaur models placed on it, couldn’t help but smile.
She remembered, in a casual conversation, He Jingyao had told her he was once fascinated with paleontology as a child, and Li Bo had collected a large number of dinosaur and human bone fossils for him, both real and fake. After studying them for a while, he lost interest.
Yet this display shelf faithfully recorded the preferences of that seven or eight-year-old boy back then.
Zhixi casually picked up a dinosaur model, gently caressing it in her palm, tears involuntarily falling.
Jingyao, where… where are you?
In the mountainous regions of Country Z, at the foot of an unremarkable peak, stood a white luxury mansion.
This mansion had been built many years ago, but due to its remote location, it had never been sold. It recently found an owner.
The main hall of the mansion was oval, equipped with all kinds of advanced devices, full of a high-tech feel.
At this moment, a young man walked in.
The man had an exceptionally striking face: prominent brow bones, dark eyes, a tall nose and thin lips, with a stern and resolute jawline.
However, at this moment, the face that could make any woman forget to breathe showed no expression, and those dark, deep eyes were thick and unreadable, revealing nothing of his emotions.
He walked to the silver glowing long table and poured himself a cup of coffee.
The gigantic display screen in the center of the living room flickered briefly, then suddenly lit up.
A middle-aged Caucasian man’s face appeared on the screen.
