CHAPTER 290: CHAPTER 303: I’M SORRY

Looking into Ye Xinluo’s eyes, he spoke, "I should have realized sooner that you were Jingxi’s mother and that it was I who kept you apart for so long. When Grandpa brought Jingxi home, I was surprised too. I thought it was just some mistake in the Beichen Family’s database and didn’t think it was you. If I had thought of you sooner, you probably wouldn’t have been separated from Jingxi for so long."

"Taking Jingxi away without your consent was our mistake, and I apologize to you. But I am also grateful that Grandpa took Jingxi away back then, otherwise, I might never have known that I had such a grown son."

"Now that Jingxi has grown up, as his father, I want to give him a complete home. I also hope you can stay by Jingxi’s side, and together we can watch over him as he grows up. Even if there is no love between us, for Jingxi’s sake, can we be together?"

Beichen Rui spoke at length, almost letting go of all his pride and demeanor, pleading with her, and sincerely apologizing, seeking her forgiveness.

He knew Jingxi couldn’t be without her, but Jingxi was destined to be a child of the Beichen Family, so Beichen Rui decided to have a good talk with her. After spending time with the little guy, Beichen Rui gradually got used to Jingxi’s presence and wanted to fulfill his responsibilities as a father, wanting to make up for the time when Jingxi didn’t have a father.

Ye Xinluo listened in a daze, unable to snap back to reality for a long while. "You are apologizing to me?"

Oh heavens, did she hear wrong, Beichen Rui was actually apologizing to her?

Beichen Rui looked into her eyes, "Yes, I am apologizing to you. It was wrong of us to take Jingxi away without your consent. Can you forgive me?"

He watched her nervously, afraid that Ye Xinluo would say words like no or not forgiving. It was his first time apologizing to someone this way, disregarding his pride. It would be awkward if she didn’t forgive him.

Ye Xinluo blinked, suddenly reaching out to touch his forehead and seriously said, "No fever, huh? Are you sure you’re not talking nonsense?"

Beichen Rui: "..."

He rolled his eyes at her in exasperation, slapped her hand away, and his face looked particularly unpleasant.

Seeing his displeased expression, she hurriedly retracted her hand, straightened her face, and said, "Honestly, when you all first took Jingxi away, I was very angry. I wanted to ask you, on what grounds? On what grounds could you take away the child I had raised so big?"

"At that time, I was angry with myself, blaming myself for not having the ability to protect Jingxi. Back then, I did plan to take Jingxi away, but until tonight, I realized that you have really taken good care of Jingxi, and the little guy is very reliant on you. He probably also hopes his parents can be by his side."

Ye Xinluo spoke a long paragraph, and Beichen Rui just listened silently. After she finished, he asked, "So? You’ve forgiven us?"

"Hmm, more or less!"

Beichen Rui: "..." What does ’more or less’ mean? "Thank you."

Four eyes met, and the two of them shared a smile.

But neither of them noticed that just a moment ago, the bedroom door was gently closed by someone.

Once the words were spoken, the knot in their hearts naturally disappeared entirely. She smiled sweetly, saying, "Well, it’s a bit late. I’d like to go rest."

"Hmm." Beichen Rui nodded.

When she returned to the room, Lan Shan was sitting on the bed playing with her phone. Seeing her coming in, she quickly put down her phone and said with a gossiping look on her face, "Xinluo, Xinluo, what were you talking about with the CEO?"
