The azure blue eyes were so pure and clear, filled with expectations that no one could refuse.
Therefore, neither Xichen nor Fred could refuse the child's request.
So, he said with a smile: "Of course, let's go and play in the garden for a while."
Xichen said, stood up, took the two children and left together.
However, at this moment, Fred suddenly stepped forward, firmly grabbed her waist with one hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, let Ullit bring your favorite toys."
"Oh, great, great."
The two children immediately burst into laughter, clapped their hands and shouted happily.
The joyful atmosphere instantly spread, and everyone in the hall, whether it was Yulit or the maids and bodyguards, finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.
Fortunately, these two children are bound together. From this point of view, there is still hope for the reconciliation between the master and his wife.
However, no one noticed that when Fred's arm clasped around Xichen's waist, her heart almost skipped a beat, and her whole body became stiff for a moment.
However, on the surface, she still pretended to be calm.
It was as if Fred's actions had no impact on her at all.
In the winter garden, although most of the lush green has turned to yellow, there are still some lush green and flowers that bloom in the cold winter.
As soon as Julia and Stephen entered the garden, they completely forgot that Xichen and Fred also came with them.
The two little figures ran away long ago to play.
Ullit and a group of maids followed the two children and watched from the sidelines.
Xichen and Fred were at the end.
The warm afternoon sun shines down, making Stephen and Julia even more adorable.
Xichen looked at the two children with fondness in his eyes, and a faint smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.
Fred looked on from the side, pursed his lips slightly, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Until, Xichen moved her eyes to his hand still resting on her waist, and then said: "Fred, you can take your hand away."
"Xichen, I..."
A very simple sentence, but it made his heart instantly shattered and completely painful.
"I don't want to take it away."
After hesitating for a long time, he said directly.
The hand on her waist tightened a little, and even brought her directly into his arms.
"Fred, what are you doing?"
When Xichen heard this, his heart skipped a beat, but he raised his face to look at him.
On his fair face, there was an extremely stubborn expression at this moment.
"What are you doing? Xichen, don't you understand?"
Fred smiled bitterly, stared at her with his eyes, and asked.
"Understand? Understand what?"
Xichen also smiled. There was bitterness and hurt in his smile.
It was this smile that made Fred suddenly feel timid at this moment.
"Xichen, don't be like this, I love you."
Even though I know this is very unconvincing to say now.
However, he still had to say it, otherwise, he really didn't know how to ask for her forgiveness.
"No, Fred, I don't dare to take it. If you say you love me again after divorce, I can't bear it."
As she spoke, she reached out and pried open his hand that was clasped around her waist.
At this moment, a cell phone ringtone suddenly came from the bag.
When Xichen heard this, he quickly took out his cell phone and picked it up.
"Hello."
Before she could even look at the caller ID, she had already picked up the phone.
"Miss Pan, where are you now?"
What came over the phone was undoubtedly Nissen's voice.
It's low-pitched and pleasant, with a touch of elegance, just like him.
"I'm here with a friend. Boss, what's the matter?"
Xichen glanced at Fred and then asked.
"Hey, why can't I call you if nothing happens?"
Nissen chuckled softly on the phone and asked rhetorically.
Obviously, Xichen didn't expect him to say that at all. For a moment, she was slightly stunned, and then she came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Well, it's really not your style."
"You are really honest."
Helpless laughter came from the phone again, and Nissen got back to the topic: "Well, that's it. I wonder if I would be honored to invite you to dinner tonight?"
When Nissen finished speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Xichen would refuse, so he added: "Don't get me wrong, I just want to talk to you about some official matters."
"Okay, no problem. Then we can meet at that restaurant tonight."
Xichen didn't think too much. Based on her understanding of Neeson, he was a workaholic.
Although he is handsome and rich, he has never married and had children because he was too busy at work.
"Okay, it's settled. I'll send it to you later."
"OK."
When Xichen finished speaking, the two of them had hung up the phone at the same time.
And when she turned around and looked around, she saw Fred looking at her with a livid face.
"Whose phone number is it?"
He asked. There was a kingly aura in his tone, giving people a feeling that he could not refuse.
"You don't need to know."
Xichen put away his phone and put it in his bag, and said, "I have something to do tonight, so I'll leave first. Just tell Julia and Stephen that I have work, and I'll see them next time."
After finishing speaking, she wanted to turn around and leave, but Fred suddenly held her wrist and said, "Xichen, don't do this."
*****
I am really happy to see everyone's support. I will finish it as soon as possible. I saw some people saying that I was looking for excuses not to update. In fact, I really want to say, I am looking for excuses not to update.
Why am I doing this? It doesn't do me any good.
I really can't understand what readers who say this think.
