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

After seeing Lin Xu's swollen lips, the calmness in Ji Tingyang's eyes turned into coldness and sinisterness. There was a storm in his eyes, and the hand holding her wrist suddenly tightened.

Without having to guess, Ji Tingyang knew who she was going to meet today.

"What, what happened?" Lin Xu hissed in pain in his wrist.

Ji Tingyang had a gloomy aura around him, and he wanted to expose her lies.

I wanted to see her panic, then apologize to me and promise that I would never see Xie Changyan again...

He opened his thin lips slightly, and the words he wanted to say turned around in his throat. He knew he should expose her, but when he saw Lin Xu's bright and clear eyes filled with smiles, curved like crescent moons, he swallowed the words back into his stomach.

He adjusted his breathing, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the gloom in his eyes had quietly disappeared.

"Nothing." Ji Tingyang let go of her hand and said calmly, "It's late, go back to the bedroom and rest."

Lin Xu looked relieved, her tense nerves relaxed, and she said good night to him before running back to the bedroom.

Ji Tingyang watched her go upstairs and pursed his lips.

Ji Tingyang has had trouble sleeping for the past twenty years.

Most of the time, he would dream of Lin Xu, dreaming that she grew up with him. However, every time he woke up and realized that it was fake, his heart seemed to be dug out, leaving it empty.

He also became resistant to falling asleep and dreaming...

Since Lin Xu was reborn, Ji Tingyang's sleep has improved a lot.

At least when he dreamed that Lin Xu left him, he could tell himself that his mother was really by his side this time.

However, tonight, Ji Tingyang lay in bed and couldn't sleep again.

My thoughts were tangled like a hemp rope and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

The next day, Ji Tingyang got up late for the first time.

He looked at the time that was approaching noon and remained silent.

A few days ago, my mother made all kinds of excuses to sneak out to see Xie Changyan, but he got up late today, and if he hadn't stopped her, my mother might have already left.

His dull face seemed covered with a layer of light frost. He rubbed his tired nose and went downstairs. He glanced casually at the sofa and then froze.

Lin Xu was carefully cutting flower branches and inserting the flowers on the table into the vase, creating a pleasing and exquisite shape.

She...didn't go out today.

Perhaps hearing the noise at the stairs, Lin Xu's attention shifted from the flower arrangement and he looked over.

Lin Xu exclaimed when she saw him, and with a frown on her face, she said with concern, "Why are your dark circles so heavy? Did you not sleep well last night?"

Ji Tingyang went over and sat down next to Lin Xu, his head resting quietly on her shoulder.

Smelling the warmth of her body mixed with the fragrance of flowers, the anxiety in my heart seemed to gradually calm down.

"What's wrong? Did you work overtime until late yesterday?" Lin Xu rubbed his head. "Do you want to go back to sleep?"

Ji Tingyang's voice was a little muffled, "No."

"Are you in a bad mood?" Lin Xu seemed to have discovered a pattern. Every time he was in a bad mood, he always liked to lean on her shoulder in silence.

Just like a little animal, he always likes to hide in his mother's arms to seek a sense of security.

"Do you miss your father?" Ji Tingyang suddenly asked.

"Of course I did." Lin Xu was stunned for a moment, and organized his words in his mind, intending to tell him again about Xie Changyan, "Actually..."

"Is that why you are with Xie Changyan?" Ji Tingyang asked.

Lin Xu looked embarrassed, "How did you know..."

She thought she had kept it a secret very well.

"Are you treating Xie Changyan as a substitute for your father, because he is somewhat similar to your father." Ji Tingyang thought about it all night and seemed to have found the answer.

It must be so.

Otherwise, how could she suddenly fall in love with someone else when her mother and father loved each other so much?

Lin Xu's face froze for a moment. He never expected that Ji Tingyang's imagination would be so big.

Lin Xu didn't say anything, so Ji Tingyang thought she agreed.

He raised his head and saw a trace of struggle in her eyes. Then he compromised and said, "You can just use him as a substitute for fun, but you can't really be with him."

Lin Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and reached out to knock on his head, "What nonsense are you talking about? He is your father. Although I don't know why he doesn't remember us, and we can't prove the blood relationship, but believe me, I won't mistake your father!"

"Oh." Ji Tingyang pursed his lips and nodded in response.

I don’t know whether he really believed it or just responded perfunctorily to Lin Xu’s words.

"Anyway..." Ji Tingyang's voice dropped, "You promised me that we would be together in the future. You can't leave because of him."

He held Lin Xu's hand tightly, and the sour feeling in his stomach made him feel uncomfortable.

Twenty years had been missing between them, and they had to make up for it in the days that followed.

Lin Xu smiled faintly, "Of course our family will always be together in the future."

"Will you always love me..." His eyes flashed and his voice was very soft.

"Our Tingyang is so nice, of course mommy loves you." Lin Xusi joked, "I change your diapers and coax you to sleep. If I didn't love you, I would have thrown you to the nanny long ago."

Ji Tingyang's ears flushed, hesitantly said, "Those were things from my childhood. I'm grown up now."

His mother liked him when he was a child, but what about now?

Maybe he didn't grow up to be what his mother expected, so she was disappointed in him and even loved him less.

Come to think of it, my mother seemed to have told him that she hoped he could become a scientist when he grew up?

The more he thought about it, the more depressed Ji Tingyang became.

Lin Xu knew that perhaps it was because the three children lacked love in their childhood, so they felt insecure most of the time.

She could only tell him over and over again: "Don't let your imagination run wild. Just remember that whether you are seven, twenty-seven, or forty-seven, I will still love you the same way."

Ji Tingyang nodded, and the depression in his heart finally subsided a little.

-

On Monday morning, the sun slowly rose.

Unlike the working people who were resentful and depressed about Monday, Xie Changyan was in a very good mood all morning.

Even when employees made mistakes at work, he was particularly tolerant.

"Is there any happy event today? Why is Mr. Xie in such a good mood?"

"I don't know, but what I do know is that if you have made any mistakes at work, you should confess to Mr. Xie right away. Maybe you can get a pardon."

"That makes sense, I'll go there soon!"

The employees were whispering.

However, this excellent mood was ruined by Su Linzhou's phone call.

"Are you sure she said she wanted to divorce Ji Tingyang today? But why do I see her talking and laughing with Ji Tingyang now?"
