CHAPTER 288: CHAPTER 301: YOUR MOUTH MUST BELONG TO A CROW

"Just don’t tell me it’s Shaoyu, okay."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Shan’s expression froze for a moment, looking at her with a mix of frustration and amusement. "Can we even have a normal conversation?"

Ye Xinluo: "What’s wrong, I’m just saying it casually, did you really take it seriously?"

Lan Shan: "..."

Is this person cursed with a crow’s mouth? Just saying it randomly and gets it right? Does it have to be this impressive? She was just planning to have a little fun teasing her!

Seeing her expression, Ye Xinluo’s smile gradually faded, replaced with a touch of disbelief. "Did I really guess it right?"

Lan Shan nodded.

This time, it was Ye Xinluo’s turn to be thunderstruck, and seriously thunderstruck, the kind that left her sizzling inside and out.

"No way, I said, babe, you’ve lived with the Gong Family for four years and don’t know what he does at all?"

Ye Xinluo shook her head.

"OMG, I really don’t know what to say to you, are you a fool?? You’d probably help count the money if someone sold you!"

Lan Shan was scolding her merrily when suddenly the bedroom door was opened, startling her into silence. She turned her head and indeed saw Beichen Rui standing at the door watching them.

Awkwardly twisting her mouth, she said, "Well, Xinluo, I’m feeling a bit unwell, I’ll head back to my room to sleep, you come find me later."

After saying that, she got up and dashed out.

After she left, Ye Xinluo looked at Beichen Rui and asked, "Are you sleeping with Jingxi again tonight?"

"Mm." Beichen Rui nodded in agreement, lifting his feet to walk over and sit beside Ye Xinluo.

A bit uneasily, she scooted over to the side. Beichen Rui furrowed his brow, "Why are you moving away? Am I going to eat you?"

Uh...

"No. Oh, right, about this bracelet..."

"You keep it." Beichen Rui said indifferently.

Hearing this, Ye Xinluo frowned, "But, it’s your family heirloom, giving it to me, isn’t it a bit improper?"

Beichen Rui replied, "It’s not. Grandpa sees you as his granddaughter-in-law, giving it to you is normal."

Ye Xinluo: "But, we are only because of Jingxi..." She still wanted to say something, but seeing Beichen Rui’s expression change, she closed her mouth.

After a long while, Ye Xinluo finally spoke, "I’ve always wanted to ask you this question, how did you guess I was Jingxi’s mom?"

She just couldn’t figure it out.

Hearing her words, Beichen Rui patiently explained, "At first, I didn’t think of you, later because Jingxi said he wanted you to be his mommy, I guessed it."

"Oh... like that..."

She stared at Beichen Rui’s face, studying it for a while, and suddenly asked, "Have we met before?"

"Four years ago, that night." Beichen Rui said casually.

Four years ago, that night she was drunk, she couldn’t remember his face at all, and the feeling wasn’t as if it popped out of nowhere, it felt like they had met many years ago.

"I’m not talking about four years ago, but even earlier, have we met before?"

Hearing her words, Beichen Rui’s thoughts drifted, recalling an afternoon many years ago.

That afternoon, it was drizzling, Beichen Rui was wandering aimlessly on the streets, letting the rain soak his clothes.

He didn’t know how long he’d walked, how far he’d gone, leaning dejectedly by the roadside, watching the flow of traffic passing by.

At this moment, a rain umbrella appeared above his head, he was startled, turned to see a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl holding an umbrella standing before him.

The girl’s features were delicate, with a faint smile on her face, tied in a ponytail, looking youthful and vibrant.
