Chapter 1173: Her Importance
Form what Xu Xiyan was seeing, Helain Qingyu still had no idea how important Li Ruochu was to him.
If Li Ruochu were to leave, he might be able to realize it.
“All right, have some rest for the time being,” Xu Xiyan said with a plan in mind. “I’ll be going back to Zstan shortly, and I’ll think of some way to bring you with me.”
“Thank you,” Li Ruochu said with tears in her eyes. “Thank you so much.”
“Come on, we’re friends, aren’t we?”
Xu Xiyan waited until Li Ruochu fell asleep before leaving.
She went to buy her stuff and returned to Huo Yunshen’s room.
She could hear Huo Yunshen talking on the phone inside, and she went in.
“Oh wait,” Huo Yunshen said into the phone. “Your mummy is back.”
“Ying Bao?” Xu Xiyan said and quickly took the phone over. “Hey, baby?”
“Mummy!” Ying Bao shouted on the other side of the phone. “I miss you so much! When are you coming back?”
“Soon,” Xu Xiyan replied. “I’ll go back once the filming is finished, okay?”
“Okay! I feel so lonely at night without mummy and daddy by my side,” Ying Bao said.
Xu Xiyan felt as if thousands of needles were piercing her heart when she heard her daughter saying that she was lonely.
“Mummy? Are you still there?”
“Yes, I’m here.”
“You have to eat a lot, okay? And you have to listen to what daddy says. Take care of yourself,” the little girl said, pretending to be an adult.
“I will,” Xu Xiyan replied while wiping the tears off her face.
The man behind her got up and hugged her from behind, kissing her head to comfort her.
They hung up the phone after talking for a few extra minutes.
“Don’t worry, we’ll get to see her soon,” Huo Yunshen said while wiping the tears from Xu Xiyan’s face.
“I know…”
…
The people of Lstan had been witnessing how lovey-dovey their emperor and his new queen could be for the past few days.
Mo Yutian would take his wife out on a cruise, introducing every island to her.
He was satisfied with how well-behaved his wife had been for the past few days.
“Look, I’ve planted that whole island with roses just for you,” Mo Yutian said while pointing at one of Lstan’s island.
“Thank you… I’m really touched,” Alice smiled while imagining how Jing Xi would smile.
Yet even though she was smiling, she could feel pain deep down inside her.
