The moving truck came to pick up Jing Xi’s stuff the next day. Jin Hongsheng even came to help and they moved most of the necessary things into the car, leaving the unnecessary stuff behind.
Ge Juhua monitored them the whole time, afraid that they would take something that did not belong to them.
Jing Xi bid her farewell to Jin Hongsheng before leaving. Jin Hongsheng told Jing XI that she was free to come back and visit whenever she wanted.
The truck left and drove them towards Wutong Residential Area.
The moving company helped them moved their things to their rented apartment as Jing Xi showed Mo Yutian and Xiao Tieniu around.
Since the government would provide its people with minimum necessities, the apartment was furnished with simple furniture such as tables and beds.
The apartment had two bedrooms and one living room, and it was cozy to live in.
“Brother Heiniu, what do you think of this place?” Jing Xi asked.
“It’s perfect,” Mo Yutian replied. Even though the apartment looked dull if compared to the palace, a little tidying up could make it a great place to live in.
Xiao Tieniu was excited since he was finally able to live with his parents.
“Yay! I can finally live with daddy and mommy!” the little boy exclaimed as he jumped around the apartment.
Jing Xi couldn’t help but smile.
She helped Mo Yutian to the couch and said, “Take some rest now. I’ll go and unpack all of our stuff.”
“Okay.” Mo Yutian nodded.
Even though he could not move around easily, he would still help with some of the little things.
It did not take long before Jing Xi finished tidying up the place.
She left a few plants by the window and packed all the clothes into the wardrobe. She then cleaned the house, and the apartment took on a new look.
“It’s finally done,” Jing Xi told Mo Yutian. “All that’s left is mopping the floor and buying some ingredients for dinner.”
“Okay.” Mo Yutian nodded as he looked at Jing Xi. He knew that it was the right decision to move out with Jing Xi.
At least he wasn’t living under other people’s roof anymore.
Jing Xi then took Xiao Tieniu out for lunch and bought take-out back for Mo Yutian.
She then went to the nearby mall to purchase ingredients for dinner.
Since a whole sack of rice would be too heavy for them to carry, Jing Xi only bought a few cups of rice first.
When night fell, Mo Yutian asked Jing Xi to get some rest as he prepared dinner.
Since Jing Xi was really worn out, she did not decline as Mo Yutian started to cook the food.
The three of them sat down at the dining table and enjoyed dinner together.
“Mommy, is Little Prince still sleeping?” Xiao Tieniu asked during dinner.
“I’m not sure… He might’ve woke up by now.”
Jing Xi was also worried about Little Grape since she had no way of knowing how the little prince was. All she could do was hope.
…
The moment Little Grape opened his eyes, familiar faces came into view. There was his father, grandparents, and uncle.
Only Auntie Xiaoxi was nowhere to be found.
