Yi Xiao had been acting as the deputy president of Juxing Entertainment on behalf of Huo Yunshen.
He’d been tremendously influenced by Huo Yunshen throughout his years as an assistant. So now he was more than capable of handling the business.
Yi Xiao greeted them and took the boy from Fang Xiaocheng. Then Fang Xiaocheng came to Huo Yunshen and said, “Mr. Huo, it’s been a long time. How are you doing?”
“Good. Thank you for coming here.”
Seeing the chubby little boy in Yi Xiao’s arms, Huo Yunshen asked, “Is this little Beibei? How adorable. How old is he now?”
“Almost one and a half. He can say mommy, daddy, uncle, and auntie now. Beibei, say hello to uncle!”
Yi Xiao encouraged little Yi Bei to greet him. It was obvious that he loved the boy dearly.
Little Yi Bei stared at Huo Yunshen curiously, hesitated for a second then called timidly while chewing on his finger, “Undle.”
“He can’t speak so clearly. It was ‘uncle,’” Yi Xiao explained.
“Good boy!”
Thinking of the reason why there were here, Fang Xiaocheng asked, “Mr. Huo, where is Yanyan now? Can I see her?”
She had heard from Yi Xiao what had happened to Huo Yunshen and Jing Xi, and felt truly sorry for her best friend. Now she could finally see her in person.
“Sure. Come on in. I’ll take you to her.”
Huo Yunshen escorted them in and had someone attend to Yi Xiao and the boy. Then he took Fang Xiaocheng upstairs.
He had not told Jing Xi about their visit and wanted to give her a surprise.
When they came to the baby room, Jing Xi was putting Little Grape to bed and singing a cradlesong.
“Jing Xi!” Huo Yunshen called her gently and said, “You have a guest here.”
Jing Xi turned and was indeed surprised to see her best friend, Fang Xiaocheng. She stood up to welcome her. “Orange, what brings you here?”
“I missed you so much. So here I am.”
“Orange!”
“Yanyan…”
Jing Xi ran to Fang Xiaocheng and hugged her joyfully,
“I’m so happy to see you!”
Jing Xi laughed into tears. So did Fang Xiaocheng.
“I should have come sooner.”
Fang Xiaocheng was sorry that she could not be here for Jing Xi when she was in her deepest sorrow.
“Never mind. I’m so happy you are here now. Did Yi Xiao and Yi Bei come with you?”
Jing Xi wiped her tears.
“Yes. They are downstairs.”
“Great. Let’s go and see them.”
Handing her baby to Huo Yunshen, Jing Xi and Fang Xiaocheng walked downstairs hand in hand.
They saw Yi Xiao and the little Yi Bei there. Jing Xi bent over and asked, “Beibei, do you still remember auntie?”
Little Yi Bei was tapping a remote controller on the side table and sofa when he heard Jing Xi’s voice. Upon turning and seeing her, Yi Bei smiled timidly and headed into his mother’s arms, cuddling her leg.
“Beibei is a shy boy!” Jing Xi laughed.
Fang Xiaocheng explained, “He is not shy with strangers, but with pretty aunties.”
“Can you even tell that at such a young age?” Jing Xi examined the cute little boy.
Fang Xiaocheng encouraged her son to greet her. “Beibei, say hello to auntie. You are good at this when we do video chatting, aren’t you?”
