Billionaire's Adorable Sweet Wife-Chapter 888: He Jitang: I’ll Take You to See Auntie
The courtyard.
He Jitang is sitting in the study writing.
The study is quiet, Shen Ci stands beside him, wanting to speak several times.
He Jitang says calmly, "If you’re here to plead for Yingzi, there’s no need."
He says, "I’m not interested."
Shen Ci sighs softly.
Madam Xishan calculated everything, and Yingzi to the young master is just an "interest"!
He Jitang asks Shen Ci to leave.
Shen Ci hesitates to speak, but eventually leaves and closes the door.
He Jitang remains in the same position until ink drips onto the white Xuan paper, pulling him from his thoughts.
He crumples the Xuan paper and throws it away.
He sits quietly in the chair, lost in thought.
The door opens with a creak.
He Ci’an’s little face peeks in, cautiously, afraid of being discovered.
But He Jitang sees him.
He asks calmly, "Ci’an, is there something you need?"
Little Ci’an walks over to his father, hands behind his back.
He tilts his little face up, gently saying, "I heard from Xiao Jing that tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival."
He Jitang responds with a soft "hmm."
Little Ci’an gathers his courage, "I miss Aunt, can I see her?"
He Jitang quietly gazes at his son.
After a moment, he beckons little Ci’an over.
Little Ci’an is scared; his father has been angry lately... but he misses his aunt.
Little Ci’an moves over slowly.
He Jitang’s expression is gentle as he softly asks, "You want to see Aunt?"
Little Ci’an’s big eyes are watery, pitiful.
He Jitang pulls him into his arms, resting his chin on his hair.
Little Ci’an rarely experiences such gentleness, feeling uneasy, yet not daring to ask.
After a long time, He Jitang suddenly asks, "How about I send you to Aunt’s place?"
He Ci’an is overjoyed.
Then, he becomes uneasy again, asking in a small voice, "What about you, Dad?"
He Jitang gives a faint smile, "Dad will still be in Yangcheng, I’ll visit you when I have time."
He Ci’an doesn’t respond.
He Jitang looks at him, eyes slightly stern.
Under that gaze, little Ci’an gives in with a soft "Oh," feeling wronged.
He Jitang asks gently, "Didn’t you want to see Aunt? Why aren’t you happy about going now?"
Little Ci’an says nothing, just quietly hugs his waist, burying his head in his father’s chest.
He Jitang feels a tenderness in his heart.
He hugs his son, saying, "Pack your small bag, I’ll send you over later."
He also tells him that little Jian arrived in Yangcheng too.
Little Ci’an instantly cheers up, jumping to pack.
The study returns to peace.
He Jitang slowly sits down, placing a cigarette to his lips, taking out a lighter to light it...
But he doesn’t smoke, letting it stay between his slender fingers.
Watching it quietly burn to the end.
Half an hour later, he personally drives He Ci’an to Su Ruanruan’s place.
He Jitang asks the doorman to announce their arrival.
The doorman enters the hall and tells them; the entire family is stunned.
Bao Mingyuan curses He Jitang for being shameless, for coming here after causing harm to their family.
He wants to confront the He family member.
"Dad!" Bao Jingyan descends the stairs gracefully, saying calmly, "I’ll go out with Ruanruan to check."
Bao Mingyuan disagrees.
Bao Jingyan smiles, "He Jitang is trying to entrust his child; if we don’t take on this responsibility, what if he decides to go down with the ship?"
Bao Mingyuan hesitates.
Image-conscious, he asks Su Ruanruan, "Ruanruan, what do you think?"
Su Ruanruan says she follows Bao Jingyan’s decision.
Bao Jingyan looks at her, a touch of mockery in his gaze.
However, he doesn’t make it difficult for her.
When they reach the door, He Jitang has already brought little Ci’an out of the car.
He Ci’an carries a small backpack, with a large suitcase by his side.
Bao Jingyan nudges Su Ruanruan’s shoulder, saying, "Didn’t I say he wants to entrust his child?"
Su Ruanruan feels the words "entrust a child" are bleak, a bad premonition rising in her heart...
