1508: Divert Her Attention

Divert Her Attention

When Jing Xi picked up the needle, she could feel herself suffocating.0

Huo Yunshen was standing by the door and saw his wife shivering in front of the baby's bed.

He also realized that Jing Xi would cry when the kids had fallen asleep.

It was a sight that hurt Huo Yunshen a lot.

Jing Xi was in low spirits. Her smile was almost gone, and Huo Yunshen was worried that she might get depression from it.

He went into the room and sat next to his wife, pulling her close to him.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying again?"

"Nothing, it's just that I can't seem to finish this sweater…"

Jing Xi shook the half-done sweater and spoke with her trembling lips.

"Then, leave it there," Huo Yunshen said and put the sweater away. "You should go out and breathe some fresh air. The weather is good today. Why don't we take Little Grape out for a walk?"

"Okay."

Huo Yunshen got up and picked up the sleeping Little Grape. He set him down in the stroller and pushed him out.

Even though it was chilly outside, the sun was bright enough to warm them through.

Huo Yunshen looked for a spot with no wind and asked the servants to place a table and a couple of deckchairs there for them.

Jing Xi lay on the deckchair while Huo Yunshen sat next to her. The stroller was set right in front of them, and they could see the baby sleeping soundly in it.

Huo Yunshen then asked the servants to bring the fruits and drinks so that he could cheer his wife up.

Yet the new servant forgot what her master had ordered. In the basket of fruits were apples.

"Ma'am, do you want some apple?" the servant asked.

Jing Xi shook her head as she looked at the red apple. It instantly reminded her of Little Apple, and she began to cry.

"Go! Leave us!" Huo Yunshen scolded and chased the servant off.

Scared by her master's wrath, the servant ran back into the manor.

"Hey, everything is okay…" Huo Yunshen comforted as he hugged Jing Xi.

He was anxious and worried. He knew he had to find something to divert Jing Xi's attention.

And the only person he could think of was Fang Xiaocheng.

Fang Xiaocheng was Jing Xi's best friend, and Jing Xi had been there for her when she lost Wang Dazhi to an accident.

Now that Jing Xi was also in a depressed mood, Huo Yunshen thought of bringing Fang Xiaocheng over to help Jing Xi recover.

…

Guests arrived at Yunjing Manor three days later.

Yi Xiao came with Fang Xiaocheng and Yi Bei.

Their car stopped in front of the fountain in Yunjing Manor, and the three of them got out of the vehicle.

Huo Yunshen was already waiting for them at the front door.

"Young Master! It's been a long time!" Yi Xiao greeted and hugged Huo Yunshen.

"It has…" Huo Yunshen greeted back.
