The next day, Bai Xiao got up early, went to the small bedroom to wake up Yu Jingxi, and took care of the little guy's dressing and washing himself.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Yu Jingxi stood on the bed and let Bai Xiao put on a sapphire blue T-shirt with a collar. Bai Xiao sat beside the bed, buttoned two buttons for him, and took another one.
She put a coat on him, and the little guy's dark eyes rolled around, feeling that there was something abnormal about Bai Xiao today.
Yu Jingxi got dressed and skipped downstairs.
The little guy has recently become obsessed with flowers and plants. For this reason, he went to the flower and bird market to buy two pots of mimosa and played with them every day.
In the kitchen, Aunt Li is making breakfast.
Bai Xiao went downstairs in no hurry and returned to the master bedroom. The door was ajar and there was no movement inside.
Yu Shaoting was still sleeping, lying on the bed, with his bare arms and half of his back exposed. Bai Xiao walked to the bed and saw that his head was on the pillow, his eyes were closed, and his stern facial features were not much softer in sleep.
, Bai Xiao didn't wake him up, took the clothes he wanted to wear today and put them on the bed, and went out by himself.
She entered the kitchen and wanted to help Aunt Li, but Aunt Li pushed her out: "Go for a walk outside, have a baby, and breathe some fresh air."
Bai Xiao now has morning sickness occasionally when she wakes up in the morning, but it is not frequent.
She touched her still flat belly and came out of the villa. Yu Jingxi was watering the mimosa with a small watering can and mumbling something.
The little guy turned around, saw Bai Xiao, and immediately handed her another pot of mimosa: "You hold it for me first, and I'll water this pot first."
The more Bai Xiao got along with Yu Jingxi, the more she discovered that the little guy was developing into an 'artistic young man'. He also raised animals, planted flowers and plants, and occasionally liked to howl, but unfortunately the tune was not accurate. She stood holding a mimosa.
On the other side, he quietly watched Yu Jingxi playing with another mimosa in a decent manner.
She remembered what Wu Liaoming said and felt uncomfortable looking at her cute and beautiful son. They were so close but they couldn't recognize him.
When the mother and son returned to the villa, Yu Shaoting had already gotten up, changed into the shirt and suit she had prepared, and sat in the living room, drinking a glass of boiled water and watching the morning news.
Bai Xiao asked Aunt Li to stew a bowl of egg custard for Yu Jingxi, adding some sugar and wine according to Liyang's local recipe.
"Eat slowly." Bai Xiao didn't eat much herself, so she took a tissue and wiped the little guy's mouth.
Yu Shaoting raised his head and took one more look at her, probably feeling that Bai Xiao was particularly doting on Yu Jingxi today, and that her body was glowing with motherly love.
After breakfast, Yu Shaoting originally wanted Xiaoliang to send Yu Jingxi to school, while he took Bai Xiao to the study room along the way.
"Xiao Liang and I will take Jing Xi to school together. You go first." Bai Xiao stood at the top of the stairs, waiting for Yu Jingxi who went upstairs to get his schoolbag.
Yu Shaoting looked at her deeply, then walked over, put his hands on her shoulders, and rubbed her shoulders with his fingers. His face showed rare tenderness, and his voice was a little low, but very gentle. He said: "
Why, are you still angry because of what happened yesterday?"
Bai Xiao knew he had misunderstood, and just when he was about to explain, Yu Jingxi came downstairs carrying a big schoolbag.
She pushed him gently: "No, you can leave first. I'll just send Jingxi off and let Xiaoliang go to the bookstore."
When Bai Xiao said this, he thought he had a gentle look on his face, but unfortunately, Yu Shaoting didn't answer or leave. The final result was——
Xiao Liang sent Aunt Li to the vegetable market, while she and Yu Jingxi took Yu Shaoting's Range Rover to go to a small store.
…
After sending Yu Jingxi to school, Bai Xiao returned to the car. As soon as he fastened his seat belt, his hand was pulled over by the man next to him, and he put it on his thigh and rubbed it.
Bai Xiao took the initiative to tell him yesterday's conversation with Wu Liaoming.
What she is doing now is to try to eliminate the worries in her child's heart, instead of sulking with him because of Xu Zhenning.
"It's normal for children to cry and fuss. It will get better when they reach a certain age."
Seeing his nonchalant look, Bai Xiao disagreed: "Why did I hear experts say that we should pay special attention to children's emotions?"
"..."
Yu Shaoting held the steering wheel with one hand and tapped it a few times with his fingers, but his tone remained calm: "If you keep trying to force him, he will crawl over your head in the future."
"Yu Shaoting, are you sure that Jing Xi is your biological child?"
The car stopped on the side of the road next to the bookstore. He turned sideways, looked at her with a half-smile and said, "If you're not my biological child, who did you give birth to?"
Bai Xiao couldn't talk to him, so she simply stopped talking to him and took off her seat belt: "On the way to the company, drive carefully."
After getting out of the car, seeing that he didn't drive away immediately, Bai Xiao walked around the front of the car and knocked on the driver's window. He lowered the window and turned around: "Is there anything else?"
Bai Xiao bent down and gently touched his cheek with her lips: "Goodbyekiss."
Yu Shaoting held her hand that was on the edge of the car window, and held it firmly for a while before letting go of her: "Go in, and I'll leave after you get in."
Bai Xiao walked to the door of the bookstore and turned around. In that compartment, the car engine started and drove out of her sight.
——————————
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Ye Hehuan called. Bai Xiao told him the address of the bookstore. Not long after, Hehuan arrived in a hurry.
Ye Hehuan was wearing a fiery red jumpsuit, sunglasses, and waist-length golden chestnut curly hair. As soon as he entered the bookstore, he immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
When she got to the second floor, she saw Bai Xiao standing on tiptoe sorting out books that had been messed up by guests.
Bai Xiao was wearing light-colored denim cropped pants, a pair of flat shoes, and a loose thin sweater. When he saw her, he smiled and said, "Here?"
"You're pregnant, why are you still doing manual labor?" Ye Hehuan took a few books from Bai Xiao's hand. She was wearing high heels, so it was much easier for her to put them away.
Bai Xiao poured her a cup of scented tea: "You have nothing to do anyway, don't you go to work today?"
"Come on, but I'm out to meet a client." Ye Hehuan sat down, took a sip of scented tea, it tasted good, and asked Bai Xiao for some tea leaves.
Bai Xiao asked her: "Why did the client come to my place?"
"...You are my client!" Ye Hehuan said, stood up, sat down next to Bai Xiao, and held Bai Xiao's arm flatteringly: "Tell Yu Shaoting and let him spend this year's money
Please give me this list for purchasing work clothes for temporary employees."
"When did you switch to selling clothes?"
"This is called a business opportunity," Ye He said with a smile, looking at Bai Xiao who frowned: "He is so obsessed with you, he shouldn't refuse such a small thing."
Bai Xiao never interfered in Yu Shaoting's business affairs. She felt that men probably didn't like women gesticulating around.
She has always believed that women should not be proud of their sex.
Therefore, when Ye Hehuan made this request, Bai Xiao hesitated. Partly because of friendship, and partly because of love, she did not dare to agree hastily.
Ye Hehuan guessed what she was thinking and said, "Don't underestimate your charm. As long as you give me a call and show off your pretensions, he will definitely agree immediately."
"...Isn't this bad?" Bai Xiao took a small sip of boiled water.
Ye Hehuan didn't force her anymore. Anyway, the business discussion was secondary when she came here this time. The main thing was to borrow the yacht she was planning to go out on a trip to the sea.
When Bai Xiao heard what she said, she felt it was worse than the list of buying work clothes.
"Goodbye, little sister, Yu Shaoting's yacht is parked at the dock in the sun and rain. If you lend it to us, you can make the best use of it."
Finally, Bai Xiao couldn't stand her torture and hesitantly called Yu Shaoting.
The man on the other end was in a meeting, but he still answered the call. Hearing her hesitate to say that she wanted to borrow the yacht, she only said: "In the afternoon, let Lin Qian send the key over."
"Look, let me tell you, if you want the stars in the sky, he will probably help you pick them."
Bai Xiao pushed her slightly: "What are you talking about?"
"What nonsense? I think fate is destined. That night in the hotel, I guess he set his sights on you!" Ye Hehuan patted Bai Xiao on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Yu Shaoting is really a nice person, and he has a good personality."
You have money, a strong background, and the key is to be obedient to you, and most people won't be jealous."
"A yacht bought you off?" Bai Xiao didn't quite understand the first half of her sentence: "What hotel did you spend that night in?"
Ye Hehuan was surprised: "Didn't Yu Shaoting tell you that you got drunk and entered his room, and then the police arrested him?"
"..."
Bai Xiao tried to think back, and roughly remembered that after she discussed the deal with Mrs. Lu, she went to the bar after meeting Pei Qiyou, and then she got drunk. Ye Hehuan sent her home, and somehow got to the hotel, and then...
When she woke up, she was already at the police station. At that time, Qin Shousheng said that there was nothing wrong with her.
Ye Hehuan saw that she didn't seem to be pretending to be stupid, so he briefly explained what had happened. Of course, he concealed the part about her and Qin Shousheng calling the police.
Bai Xiao was a little confused when she heard this. She had never expected that she had been entangled with Yu Shaoting much earlier. No wonder she always felt that something was wrong with the way he looked at her at that time. And at that time, he said
She mistakenly thought that he was frivolous with those words. Now it seems that she must have been drunk and flirted with him first...
Bai Xiao covered her face with her hands, which were very hot and red. Ye Hehuan continued: "Look how good you are now, with a happy family and a happy ending."
Speaking of 'happy reunion', Bai Xiao sighed and told Ye Hehuan all his worries, including Yu Jingxi's life experience.
"Sometimes, I really want to tell him that I am his mother, but I am afraid that I will hurt him if I act rashly."
The mother he subconsciously identifies as is no longer his mother, and the grandparents he refers to as strangers are even resentful towards him. Moreover, it is not a good thing to make him mistakenly believe that he is the product of an extramarital affair.
She couldn't guarantee whether it would cause other troubles.
"But there's no way you can hide it like this." Ye Hehuan sighed, also worried about Bai Xiao.
If there was no history of divorce and no experience of surrogacy, things would not be so complicated...
In China, a society where Confucianism has been the mainstream for thousands of years, a small number of people can accept that their daughter-in-law is not the first marriage, but few people can accept that their daughter-in-law has been a surrogate mother for another man for money, regardless of her.
No matter how I explain it then, I'm afraid the elders of Yu's family won't be willing to listen to it.
"So, what I originally thought was to tell Jing Xi everything when we go abroad and when he is older." Bai Xiao said, but her face showed sadness again, "Yesterday, Yu Shaoting's mother also
Here, she wants her children and grandchildren in China. Am I being selfish by doing this?"
"Love is inherently selfish. If you look forward and backward like this, you can't cut it off with a single blow. I'm afraid it will become even more chaotic."
That day, Bai Xiao chatted with Ye Hehuan for a long time. Ye Hehuan meant that just as Yu Shaoting had decided, he would go abroad next month without looking back.
When he returned home in the evening, Bai Xiao took the initiative to tell Yu Shaoting about going abroad.
When Yu Shaoting heard that she agreed to go to Las Vegas, he stretched out his hand and pulled her onto his lap to sit: "Why did you suddenly make up your mind?"
"...I suddenly wanted to be selfish for once." Bai Xiao pursed her lips and said.
Yu Shaoting chuckled, as if he was amused by her, and then said, "Why didn't He Huan tell me that he wanted to purchase work clothes for Donglin employees?"
Bai Xiao secretly cursed Ye Hehuan as a traitor, his cheeks turned red, and he muttered: "That's your company's business. What does it look like if I agree to it randomly?"
"So knowledgeable?" Yu Shaoting pinched the flesh on her waist.
Bai Xiao sat on his lap, lowered her head, almost touching the bridge of his nose. He reached out to untie his tie, and she held his hand: "I'll do it."
She was very skillful in untying her tie. As she continued to untie it, she suddenly remembered the night at the hotel that He Huan had talked about. Pulling his tie, she came close to his tight lips and kissed him a few times.
, one hand reached behind his neck and tentatively pried open his lips and teeth.
Yu Shaoting responded vaguely for a few times at first, then suddenly stood up, hugged her sideways, and returned to the master bedroom...
————The author has something to say————
I had a small accident today, so I couldn't catch up on the update. I was afraid that everyone would wait too late, so I uploaded it first. I will update it around 6 pm tomorrow to add the number of words that were owed in the past two days.
