After the mother was reborn, she was deeply involved in the battle for favor between her sons

Seeing that familiar figure, Ji Tingyang's heart moved. He put down the champagne in his hand and walked towards the crowd.

There were too many guests in the banquet hall, and he looked around for a long time but couldn't find that familiar figure again.

Is it an illusion?

He stood there, his thin lips tightly pursed.

Suddenly, the familiar figure came into his sight again.

Ji Tingyang's pupils trembled, and he took a step forward with his slender steps. A harsh and noisy microphone sound echoed in the venue, piercing everyone's eardrums.

"Welcome everyone to tonight's charity event. You have all waited for so long, and I believe you are all looking forward to the highlight of tonight. Without further ado, let's start tonight's charity auction now."

"All proceeds from tonight's auction will be donated to a charity foundation..."

Then the waiter in the venue came forward and guided everyone to their designated seats.

The crowd surged, one person after another passed in front of Ji Tingyang, blocking his view.

In the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared again.

The continuous missed opportunities made Ji Tingyang frown slightly. He felt annoyed and exhaled the depressed mood from his nose with his breath. He turned around and followed the waiter beside him to take a seat.

Some things are always beyond your reach when you try to find them, but they always appear inadvertently when you look back.

Like now.

After Ji Tingyang sat down, he spotted her figure at the table four or five in front of him.

The lights in the venue were all focused on the auction table, making the venue dim, blurring the woman's face and making it impossible for him to see her features clearly.

But the man next to her...

Ji Tingyang's eyes suddenly became cold.

It’s Xie Changyan!

So she is Xie Changyan’s female companion?

Ji Tingyang's heart tightened. Thinking of a possibility, his face darkened and he took out his cell phone to send a message.

JTY: [Mother, where are you now? ]

Willow catkins flying: [I'm at home, what's wrong? ]

There is also a photo of the legs entering the country and lying on the bed to rest.

It is indeed the bedroom of the house.

JTY: [Are you feeling better? I'd better go back and accompany you. ]

Willow Catkins: [Okay, but can you bring me some snacks before you come back? I didn’t eat much for dinner and I’m so hungry.]

Ji Tingyang thought she would persuade him not to go back, but when he heard her say that, his frown gradually relaxed.

If the woman next to Xie Changyan was really his mother, she would never let him go back.

Afterwards, he confirmed with the housekeeper again, and after hearing that Lin Xu was at home, he felt relieved.

It seems that he is suspicious and thinks too much.

Ji Tingyang put away his phone and turned his attention back to the auction at hand.

Lin Xu, on the other hand, felt relieved after receiving the message from Ji Tingyang that there was no way to go back early for the time being.

Fortunately, she was well prepared today. She took a photo of the bedroom in advance and sneaked out without telling the housekeeper.

Maybe the housekeeper still thinks she is resting in the bedroom.

The crisis was over and she patted her chest.

It was not until her tense nerves relaxed that Lin Xu realized that someone was looking at her from the side.

As soon as she raised her head, she met Xie Changyan's narrow eyes.

He tapped the tabletop with his fingertips casually, looking at her leisurely, his eyebrows moving slightly, "Not interested in the auction?"

"It's, it's okay..." Lin Xu pursed her lips lightly and tightened her grip on the phone, trying to say that she wasn't playing with her phone out of boredom.

She hesitated to speak, and was too embarrassed to explain.

It would be too embarrassing to explain that I had come here secretly without telling Ji Tingyang.

"Want to change places?" Xie Changyan had a casual smile on his face.

Lin Xu was stunned for a moment, "Where to change?"

Are there other activities at the venue besides this charity auction?

Just when she was confused, Xie Changyan helped her up, put his arm around her waist, and took her out of the venue openly.

Xie Changyan's departure caused quite a stir, with many people whispering to each other.

Only Ji Tingyang sat in his seat, unmoved.

Extremely uninterested in Xie Changyan's affairs.

Lin Xu followed Xie Changyan out of the venue and found a black Bentley parked at the door, as if waiting for them.

It wasn't until the car drove some distance that Lin Xu realized what was happening and asked him, "Where are we going?"

Xie Changyan leaned back in his chair, raised his narrow eyes slightly, and a lazy smile appeared on the corners of his lips, "Why are you asking now?"

The implication seemed to be that she knew nothing but just followed along obediently, and was not afraid of being sold.

Lin Xu snorted and turned his head away, "Then I won't ask anymore."

A soft chuckle escaped from his throat, sounding particularly clear in the cramped interior of the car, and reached her ears, causing a tingling sensation.

Lin Xu stared out the car window without blinking, and his cheeks had already turned red.

After more than ten minutes, the car stopped in front of an aquarium.

Xie Changyan's leisurely voice sounded, "We're here."

Lin Xu got out of the car, looked at the entrance of the aquarium, then turned to look at Xie Changyan, "Is this the change of place you mentioned?"

Xie Changyan smiled without saying anything and took Lin Xu inside.

"It's so late, it should be closed, right? Can we still go in?" Lin Xu muttered beside him.

However, what she didn't expect was that there was a small passage next to the closed door, and Xie Changyan led her in unimpeded.

There were lights on everywhere inside, but no other tourists were seen.

Did he book the whole place?

Lin Xu's chest moved slightly.

Xie Changyan took her into a glass corridor, where all kinds of wonderful marine creatures were swimming in the water, as if they were in a colorful world.

Twenty years later, the design of the aquarium became even more exquisite and wonderful. The marine creatures seemed to be swimming before her eyes in real life, and Lin Xu was overwhelmed.

Lin Xu was so excited that he took out his cell phone and took many photos.

"Ayan, look quickly..."

She turned around excitedly, and her voice stopped abruptly when she saw Xie Changyan.

She had called Ji Yanli "Ayan" before, and now she called him that out of habit, forgetting that the person in front of her was Xie Changyan.

Lin Xu immediately changed her tone, pointed at the fish in the distance and said to him: "Xie Changyan, look at that red and white fish, it's so cute."

Xie Changyan walked up to her with his hands in his pockets, and said in his usual lazy tone, "You can call me whatever you want, no need to change your words."

Does that mean I can call him Ayan?

Lin Xu hesitated for a moment, met his deep eyes, and opened her red lips slightly, "Ayan?"

The soft sound entered his eardrums and struck Xie Changyan's heart, like a buoy immersed in the lake and gently leaping.

He paused, then handed Lin Xu a small gift box.

"What is this?" Lin Xu took it, and the scene of Ji Yanli always liking to give her gifts flashed through her mind, and she seemed to understand a little bit.

Sure enough, she heard Xie Changyan's casual voice.

"It's for you."
