The next day, Bai Xiao got up very early. She checked the time. It was almost six o'clock. Yu Shaoting frowned and opened his eyes.

"Did I wake you up?" Bai Xiao's voice was very soft. She had already washed herself and was tying her hair. She turned around and saw the man sitting up.

When Yu Shaoting stood up, he noticed something pressing on his lower abdomen. He opened the quilt and found a chubby little foot resting on him. Next to him, Yu Jingxi's whole body was hunched over the pillow, his eyes were closed, his eyelashes were long and dense, and he suddenly raised his little hand.

, scratched his cheek and continued to sleep with his mouth open.

Although Yu Shaoting seems to be very cruel to Yu Jingxi now, many years ago, Yu Shaoting also took Yu Jingxi for a period of time.

At that time, Yu Shaoting returned to Las Vegas with his newborn Yu Jingxi. Maybe he was not accustomed to a strange country. The little guy kept his mouth open all day, was in a miserable mood, and did not drink milk powder. When it got dark, he would

He started to cry at the top of his lungs, but as soon as Yu Shaoting glanced at him with a frown, he immediately fell silent.

Yu Shaoting was very busy at work abroad. He usually worked overtime until late at night. When he got home, as soon as he fell asleep, he heard the sound of a baby crying throughout the villa, and the sound of Aunt Li coaxing the child. After several nights, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

, rubbing her temples and lifting the quilt, she entered the nursery and took away the crying child with a sullen face.

Five-month-old Yu Jingxi is already a fat boy. His facial features are gradually opening up, and he has become the most beautiful oriental child in the neighborhood.

But no matter how beautiful and cute the child is, he still has to follow the growth laws of nature.

Yu Shaoting put Yu Jingxi on the bed and asked him to sit. As soon as he let go, Yu Jingxi fell back. After going back and forth several times, Yu Shaoting began to lose his patience. Yu Jingxi fell back several times for no reason and was no longer the same.

It was so quiet at first, grinning and ready to cry.

"Don't cry." Yu Shaoting scolded him coldly. The little guy seemed to understand what he said. He tilted his mouth and didn't cry out.

There was still water in those big, black eyes.

Yu Shaoting asked the child to sit on his head and put two pillows on it. The little boy was leaning forward and still sitting unsteadily.

After a period of time, Yu Jingxi became very clingy to him and stayed up every night, letting Aunt Li hold her and wait in the living room. As soon as she heard the car horn, she jumped in Aunt Li's arms and tried to go out. When he entered the house,

Yu Jingxi yelled, opening her little arms to let him hug her, and pouted her lips to give him a sweet kiss.

Although the kiss rarely comes, or the kiss is received coldly, the little guy still tirelessly repeats this welcome ceremony every day.

Until one night, Yu Jingxi, who forgot to put on his diaper, peed on Yu Shaoting's *, and Yu Shaoting never allowed him to enter the master bedroom again.

On the first night she slept with Aunt Li, Yu Jingxi was still obedient, smiling as she watched Yu Shaoting go back to the room in her nightgown.

When Yu Jingxi found out that he still couldn't sleep with his father on the second night, he started to make a fuss. First he pretended to cry at the top of his voice, and then his tears really fell down. Yu Shaoting got tired of hearing this and stayed in the company for a week to rest.

room.

When he went home again, Yu Jingxi didn't greet him anymore. He stayed on the left side of the sofa and played with building blocks. He didn't even look at him, and didn't bother him anymore.

——————————

Yu Shaoting didn't know why he remembered what happened so many years ago.

He removed Yu Jingxi's little feet and quietly stared at the child's childish features. To be honest, Yu Jingxi looked more like Bai Xiao than him.

After a moment, Yu Shaoting looked up at Bai Xiao, who was standing in front of the fitting mirror with her hair tied up.

She was still wearing the same outfit as yesterday afternoon, jeans and a sweater, with a milky white jacket on the waistband.

Unlike Xu Shuyuan, who has a dignified and elegant personality, Bai Xiao does appear to be too immature, both in terms of living habits and behavior.

Xu Shuyuan spends an hour on makeup every day, and then spends half an hour choosing the clothes to wear that day. If she doesn’t take care of herself to perfection, she will never go out. She also has high requirements for the quality of her diet.

A specialized nutritionist prepares meals for her.

I only found out about Bai Xiao's existence when Xu Shuyuan passed away due to grief.

Xu Shuyuan has always been accompanied by a personal secretary, who helps her handle some daily affairs. An air crash disrupted Xu Shuyuan's original plan. The secretary finally had to tell him the whole story. The moment he learned about it, he was surprised.

He didn't expect Xu Shuyuan to do such a thing.

He didn't understand how he could make her feel uneasy, and he could even think of such a ridiculous idea as having a child through a pregnant woman.

Looking at the information that Secretary Zhang brought out, his first thought was to abort this child who should not have come into this world. However, Secretary Zhang told him that the child was already more than eight months old. If he underwent an induction surgery, it would be harmful to the body of the pregnant woman.

Unfortunately, Secretary Zhang gave him all the three-dimensional color ultrasound pictures taken during the pregnancy test.

Then, over in City B, the child was born suddenly, without even giving him a chance to choose the outcome...

When Yu Jingxi was three years old, he suffered a massive hemorrhage, and he learned that Xu Shuyuan had done far more ridiculous things than that. She had also secretly taken other people's eggs.

——————————

When Bai Xiao went to get her coat, she glanced at the other end of the corner of her eye and saw that Yu Shaoting was looking at the fitting room, wondering what he was thinking.

This was the first time she saw Yu Shaoting distracted with her own eyes.

She walked over lightly, and when she reached him, she reached out to his ear and snapped her fingers, with a hint of mischief.

Yu Shaoting turned around and saw her, his brows stretched. Perhaps he had just woken up, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Are you ready? I'll take you to the station."

"No need, there is a stop sign next to the hotel, and there are also taxis. It's still early, you can sleep a little longer." Bai Xiao held him down as he stood up.

"Can you do it yourself?"

Bai Xiao nodded, glanced at Yu Jingxi, and said, "Take good care of Jingxi. I will be back at about half past ten."

It takes less than half an hour to drive to Liyang from here.

Before leaving, Bai Xiao went to the bathroom to apply some isolation cream. When she turned around, she was shocked to see Yu Shaoting. Yu Shaoting only wore dark boxer shorts when sleeping, which made his tall legs look more flattering. Now he was standing like this with her

In front of him, Bai Xiao still blushed unaccustomedly: "Why are you up?"

"Send you over." After he said that, he started to wash up.

——————————

As soon as she arrived at the station, Bai Xiao got off the bus and urged Yu Shaoting to go back. She was thinking about Yu Jingxi.

Yu Shaoting actually didn't want to leave immediately. He wanted to send her to the car. He had work in the morning, otherwise he wouldn't mind accompanying her to Liyang.

Seeing that he didn't leave, Bai Xiao looked around and kissed his thin lips through the car window: "Drive carefully, bye."

Yu Shaoting stared at her for a while, and then really drove away.

Bai Xiao went into the station, bought the ticket for the nearest time, got on the bus, and when she saw someone familiar, she turned around and wanted to get off.

"Bai Xiao?" Xu Jingyan's sharp eyes saw Bai Xiao who was about to turn around.

When he shouted, everyone else looked at her. Bai Xiao felt her scalp numb and walked over slowly: "What a coincidence?"

Xu Jingyan saw Bai Xiao's resentment and her attempt to run away just now. He smiled and asked instead, "Which seat do you have?"

Bai Xiao had already seen the seat marks above, and then looked at his ticket: "...'."

"That's a coincidence, you're next to me." Xu Jingyan stood up and stepped aside. Bai Xiao sat down and heard him ask: "Are you going to Liyang too?"

"Yeah." Bai Xiao said, "My hometown is Liyang."

Xu Jingyan shook his head for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Liyang is a good place, with celebrities from all dynasties emerging in large numbers."

Bai Xiao smiled and did not answer the question. She was not willing to make too many friends with the Xu family, no matter how approachable Xu Jingyan was.

"Still unhappy about what happened yesterday?" Xu Jingyan suddenly asked.

Bai Xiao blinked and thought for a while before realizing what he said.

Seeing her confused look, Xu Jingyan smiled a little deeper and sighed: "Zhen Ning has liked Shao Ting for many years, but I didn't expect that she would do such a childish thing. You didn't complain to Shao Ting, let me

As an elder, I feel a little ashamed of myself."

"How do you know I didn't complain?" Bai Xiao asked.

"I believe you are not this kind of person," Xu Jingyan shook his head, and then sighed: "When I go back this time, it's time to arrange a marriage partner for Zhen Ning."

Bai Xiao knew, however, that the second half of his sentence was a disguised way of telling her that Xu Zhenning would not be allowed to do anything excessive in the future.

Bai Xiao turned to look at the scenery outside the window. After a while, Bai Xiao couldn't stand the silence at first: "Are you alone?"

"Finally thought of asking me?" Xu Jingyan said jokingly: "I thought you planned not to talk to me all the way."

"..." Bai Xiao was embarrassed.

"When you go back to Liyang, where is Shao Ting? And Jing Xi, I think the little guy is very attached to you."

"Yu Shaoting is on a business trip this time. I got up early and went to see my grandmother. I will be back in City C soon. It's not convenient to take Jing Xi with me."

Xu Jingyan nodded, then looked at Bai Xiao's pretty and young face: "Why didn't you mention your parents?"

Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I have lived with my grandparents since I was a child."

"Sorry." Xu Jingyan knew that he asked the wrong question, but he really didn't expect that Bai Xiao was actually an orphan.

"Nothing," Bai Xiao actually didn't mind, and turned the topic to Xu Jingyan: "Are you planning to go -"

Xu Jingyan looked at the girl he liked next to him with gentle eyes: "Just like you."

"I have rarely been in China in recent years. When I came back this time, I found that the people and things here were full of strangeness. I couldn't help but want to take a look and walk around. I heard a friend talk about Liyang in the early years.

There are so many places of interest, she said, so coming to Liyang to see the *stone is a worthwhile trip."

"Is your friend a woman?"

Xu Jingyan was startled, turned his head and looked at her with interest: "How do you know?"

Of course Bai Xiao won't say it, because when you say "she said", your eyes become very gentle and complicated.
