I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 897: Miaomiao’s Origins 4

Miankong Bar.

Ruan Xixia asked directly, "What’s the important matter you mentioned over the phone?"

Ji Yemo gazed at her, his deep, dark eyes brewing with traces of pain.

"I’m sorry." The three words spilled from his thin lips, causing Ruan Xixia to freeze on the spot.

After a moment, she smiled and moved slightly closer to Ji Yemo. She wore a red dress today, the fiery arc swaying with her movements. Her smile was bright: "What have you done that needs apologizing to me?"

She was smiling, but the laughter didn’t reach her eyes. Her gaze at Ji Yemo was no different than looking at a stranger.

Ji Yemo pressed his fingertips to his brow, "Xixia, I’ve told you, I will be responsible for you. So, there are some things I want to tell you."

"Oh? What is Ji’s great young master hiding from me? Is it a woman outside, or maybe a man?" The allure in Ruan Xixia’s eyes almost transformed into a temptation, countless men in the bar were frequently casting glances her way.

Ji Yemo suddenly felt that this wasn’t the right place.

He didn’t want those men coveting Ruan Xixia.

"I have a child." He stated concisely, "Four and a half years old. I don’t know who her mother is. When she appeared, I was still naive, so the child was raised by my mother and is now my sister in name..."

Ha... he actually has a child!

Ruan Xixia felt an inexplicable sadness, but her smile didn’t falter for a moment, "Isn’t that normal? For someone with a family like yours, having not just one child but ten or eight illegitimate children outside wouldn’t be surprising at all. The great Ji young master doesn’t need to report everything to me, does he?"

Ji Yemo tightened his grip on the wine glass; does she not mind at all?

"Xixia, I..."

"Shh!" A pale finger pressed against his thin lips, Ruan Xixia’s smile was radiant, "If you’re apologizing, it’s unnecessary. I’m not anyone to you, how many kids you have, it’s none of my business."

Ji Yemo’s gaze suddenly turned cold.

"Moreover, about that night, we might as well forget it. I don’t need your responsibility." Having finished, Ruan Xixia nodded slightly towards him, "Goodbye, never to meet again."

She stood, her wrist was seized by a pair of strong hands.

Ruan Xixia frowned, "Young Master Mo, I don’t like men who are too clingy."

"Ruan Xixia, you say forget it? What do you take me for?" Ji Yemo’s voice, cold and deep, was like a gust of wind and frost, ice shards sweeping over everything. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"What does Young Master Mo take himself for? My boyfriend? Sorry, just a one-night stand, I really haven’t given it much thought. As a person, it’s better not to take oneself too seriously."

Her smile was enchanting, yet her words hit where it hurt.

Perhaps it’s karma, Ji Yemo thought. This is what he deserves. He let down Ruan Xixia for ten years, so what right does he have now to demand that she accept everything about him?

The hand holding her slender wrist gradually loosened.

Ruan Xixia walked away, her high heels clicking, her long hair tossed, as noble and proud as a queen, leaving the bar.

Once on the nanny car, every bit of calm façade Ruan Xixia had put up disappeared. Her shoulders trembled for a long while before she finally opened Ning Xixi’s social media moments.

Inside was a photo of Ning Xixi and Miaomiao together.

Her fingers unconsciously slid across Miaomiao’s face.

This girl, whose child is she with Ji Yemo? Is Ji Yemo refusing to accept her because in his heart, he still holds onto this child’s mother?
