“Don’t stress yourself too much, mom. You should use your spare time with dad more,” Jing Xi said, hoping that her mother could lead a comfortable life.
Huo Yunshen had already prepared everything for the unborn babies. He got everything in pairs, even their beds.
They went back to the castle, and Helian Wei asked his servants to prepare them lunch.
Huo Yunshen let the puppies out so that Ying Bao could play with them.
He talked with Helian Wei in the living room while Jing Xi and Jing Ruyue went to Jing Ruyue’s room.
Jing Ruyue showed her the clothes she’d made, and Jing Xi was amazed by how well made they were.
“Mom! These are really cute! You’re really good at this!”
“I just followed some instructions online.”
“But it’s really well made! You even made them shoes!”
Jing Xi set a pair of blue shoes in her palm. They were only the size of her palm, so they looked adorable.
“Your grandma used to be really good at this,” Jing Ruyue sighed. “My only regret was not being able to make some for you…”
“At least you can make them for your grandchildren. You’ll be very busy once they are born.”
“You’re right,” Jing Ruyue nodded. “Hey, Yanyan, do you know how to trim hair? Can you help me?”
“I can, but are you sure you want to trim it? Is dad okay with it?”
Jing Xi knew how much her father treasured every part of her mother, even if it was just a strand of hair.
“Yes, I’ve already told him, and he’s okay with it too.”
“Okay then, I’ll go find a pair of scissors.”
Jing Xi put the clothes down and went to get herself a pair of scissors. They sat in front of the mirror as Jing Xi began to cut Jing Ruyue’s hair.
“How long do you want your hair to reach?”
“Shoulder length.”
She had the same hair length when she was deeply in love with Feng in the past.
“Okay, leave it to me.”
Jing Xi smiled and started.
When she noticed that her mother had a few strands of white hair, she couldn’t help but feel a little saddened by it.
“It’s done. What do you think?” Jing Xi asked after she’d finished cutting Jing Ruyue’s hair.
Jing Ruyue looked at herself in the mirror and smiled.
“It’s perfect, just what I wanted. You’re just as good as the stylists out there!”
“Do you want to keep the trimmed hair?” Jing Xi asked.
“No, throw it away. Those are part of a past that I want to forget.”
Trimming her hair off meant leaving all her past behind for Jing Ruyue. It signified a fresh start for her.
“Okay.” Jing Xi nodded and helped her mother back to the living room. “Let’s go and let dad see your new style.”
Both of them walked down the stairs, and Jing Xi saw that her father was sitting on the couch.
“Dad! Look!”
The two men who were talking raised their heads together.
