Chapter 655 Zixi Couldn’t Recognize Her
She didn't bring any luggage with her since this was an unplanned schedule that was forced upon her.
However, when she went through the stuff in her handbag, she found a stash of cash, a few credit cards, and her identity card inside.
But she didn't have her passport.
She would typically bring cash and a card when she went out, but only the amount that was enough for her to use.
Muchen must have prepared the extra cash and card. Since she was still in a daze this morning, she didn't even realize when Muchen had left them inside.
She couldn't have imagined that Muchen had all these details planned out from the very beginning.
Muchen had mentioned to her before that no one could be fully trusted in this world.
Despite her suspicions, could she have taken precautions over his deliberate plan to send her home?
It was impossible.
If she could prevent it from happening, Muchen would no longer be the Muchen she knew like the back of her hand.
Even if years passed, she still wouldn't be up to par to be an opponent on equal standing grounds with Muchen.
Ziyue sat leaning on the car window as she was engrossed in the familiar views passing by swiftly.
…
The car stopped at the Cloud Bay Hilltop Villa.
Chuan exited the car to open her car door and respectfully uttered, "Mrs. Qin, we're here."
After they left, the villa was left empty. But they weren't away for long, and people still came to tidy up the house, so it didn't feel abandoned.
Ziyue stood still at the entrance of the villa. Then, after a short moment, she went in.
A maid was cleaning up the garden when they went in. When she heard the sound from outside, she immediately went out to inspect the noise.
However, Ziyue was already entering the villa when the maid took the first few steps in.
The maid's eyes widened as she called, "Mrs. Qin?"
Why didn't anyone inform them that Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin were coming home?
Ziyue nodded at her and went inside right away.
She wasn't in the mood to talk.
There was not a single person living inside the villa.
Muchen was still in Country J.
Zixi and Beef were still with Jingshu.
Ziyue turned around and looked at Chuan as she said, "Let's go to Jingshu's place."
It was a weekday. Jingshu should be in the office, and since Xia was his secretary, she would also be there.
Chuan nodded and informed the bodyguard to drive to Yunteng.
…
The receptionist at Yunteng was someone new.
Ziyue walked in and noted the unfamiliar face of the lady at the reception.
However, when the receptionist saw Ziyue, she suddenly cried out, "Mrs. Qin!"
Surprised at the unexpected identification, Ziyue thought they must've met before.
"I'm here to find President Bai. Is he here?" Ziyue smiled respectfully at the receptionist.
"Yes, he's here." The receptionist nodded repeatedly, like a little chick bobbing their head.
"Thank you. I'll go straight up then." Since the receptionist knew her, she could save the hassle of identifying herself.
The bodyguard stayed on the ground floor while Chuan followed behind her.
Since she got on the private jet from Country J, Ziyue had been carrying a heavy burden in her heart. But knowing that she would see her son soon, she felt relieved and excited.
Both of them went directly toward Jingshu's office.
She realized Xia wasn't there when she passed by the secretary's office.
Didn't the receptionist say that Jingshu was in his office?
Did he have a last-minute appointment? Or is he in the meeting room? Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Chuan was on the same page as her. He suggested, "Maybe he's in the meeting room. Why don't we look in his office to see if Zixi is there? I'll head over to the meeting room."
"Sure." Ziyue nodded as she thought that it was a good idea.
Hence, they went their separate ways.
Jingshu's office was shut tightly.
Ziyue reached out to turn the knob. When the door was slightly ajar, she could hear noises from some cartoon series emanating through the room.
Her face lit up with glee. Zixi is inside!
She quickly walked in, and Zixi was sitting on the sofa as expected.
He was kneeling on the couch, playing with the building blocks. A laptop playing a cartoon series was placed on the coffee table before him.
Maybe he was too engrossed in his building blocks. Or perhaps the sound of the cartoon was too noisy to hear her footsteps. Nonetheless, he didn't notice someone had entered the room.
As they hadn't seen each other in a while, Ziyue realized that Zixi had gotten fatter.
It must not have been easy for Jingshu to care for a child alone.
But he did a great job in taking care of Zixi.
Summer had passed, and the weather was getting colder. Zixi wore light green sports attire, and his squishy cheeks were slightly blushed. Moreover, his black-beaded eyes were focused on the building
blocks intensively. Ziyue could feel her heart melt at the sight of her son.
She slowed down and halted her footsteps two steps away from Zixi.
She nervously covered her mouth, trying to control her excitement.
Could Zixi have forgotten about her?
She was taken away so abruptly by Yuchuan that time…
Her son was just within touching distance, but she was too jittery to speak.
At that moment, Zixi must have sensed something as he lifted his head and stared at her.
Ziyue was filled with overwhelming joy and amazement as soon as they locked eyes. After a few tries, she finally managed to call him, "Zixi…"
Zixi's black-beaded eyes darted around as he tried to figure out who was the person standing in front of him.
Ziyue's face tensed up; her palms were sweating rigorously. Zixi couldn't recognize her.
The next moment, his eyes widened, and he softly uttered, "Mommy?"
His voice was very soft, and his words were almost indiscernible as he tried to figure out if the person in front of him was his mother.
Ziyue was brought to tears to know that he still remembered her. She approached the sofa and knelt down in front of it, her eyes shining with excitement. She cheerfully said, "Yes, it's Mommy. Mommy is back."
Zixi's eyes were gleaming with joy. He reached out his hand to touch her hair. After confirming it was his mother, he giggled and exclaimed, "Mommy!"
"Yes, dear. Mommy is here." Ziyue carried him up and gave him a peck on his cheek. She secretly wiped away her tears before locking her eyes with him.
"Zixi is such a good boy. You still remember Mommy." Ziyue embraced Zixi as she sat down on the sofa, looking at him dotingly. She hugged him tightly and wouldn't let go for a moment.
Zixi also hugged her tightly around the neck. He stared at her happily and started touching her hair again.
He seemed to be curious about her hair.
Kids are one of a kind. They can be entertained by anything.
"Ziyue!"
Suddenly, the office door was flung open intensely and made a loud bang. Soon, hurried footsteps followed along with Xia's voice.
She was panting. It was clear that she had sprinted over in a hurry.
Ziyue turned around and saw Xia rush in.
Her smile slowly spread across her face as she advised, "Slowly."
Xia ran to her with her gleaming eyes, "Oh my, you're back!"
