A huge indoor playground was built in the royal garden. The building was built with glass to mimic the effect of a greenhouse.
The temperature inside was regulated throughout the whole year so the kids could play in it whenever they wanted.
Jing Xi brought the two little princes to the playground and the kids were delighted to finally get to play in it.
Little Grape went in first while Little Apple stood outside the door, peeking his head inside to check the surroundings. When Little Grape noticed that Little Apple was not following, he turned back and pulled his brother in.
Playing with Little Grape made Little Apple temporarily throw away his shyness and forget that he had to look for Mo Yutian. A smile slowly returned to the little boy’s face.

Huo Yunshen was pacing back and forth in his office.
Ye Xun and Huo Sanyan were sitting on the couch staring at him. Huo Yunshen’s expression told them that he was mustering a thought, preparing to tell them something.
The couple looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with the king.
“So, what are you going to tell us?” Huo Sanyan finally gave in and asked.
Huo Yunshen finally stopped moving and said, “Sis, Ye Xun, I know this might be hard to believe, but I think Jing Xi is still alive.”
Ye Xun and Huo Sanyan looked at each other again as they were thinking the same thing too.
“If Little Apple is still alive, then it means she must’ve drifted somewhere else, right? And she couldn’t come back because the place is too underdeveloped,” Huo Yunshen continued. “I’ve already sent someone to search the Dark Sea and the Soul Sea. I will turn every rock upside down until I find her!”
Huo Yunshen was determined to find his wife this time.
“But what if Jing Xi is here? On this land?” Ye Xun suggested. “What if she’s near you.”
Ye Xun wanted to signal for Huo Yunshen to look at people around him, especially Jin Xiaoxi.
Huo Yunshen was the best example of someone who was too involved and couldn’t see what was happening around him.
Huo Yunshen turned to Ye Xun and said, “I don’t care where she is. I’ll find her as long as she’s still alive.”
Upon feeling Huo Yunshen’s determination, Ye Xun stood up and patted Huo Yunshen’s shoulder.
“Did you call us here to tell us this? We’ll always support the choice you’ve made, no matter what,” Ye Xun said.
“No, that’s not only it…,” Huo Yunshen said. He also wanted to tell them about what had happened between him and Jin Xiaoxi.
“And?” Huo Sanyan asked.
“I kind of am in a trouble…”
“What trouble?”
“That Jin Xiaoxi…”
Huo Yunshen then told them how he had sex with Jin Xiaoxi and that she was now pregnant with his child.
Ye Xun and Huo Sanyan could not believe what they were hearing.
As time passed, they were more certain that Jin Xiaoxi was Jing Xi.
Jing Xi was the only woman Huo Yunshen had touched in his entire life, and yet he went to bed with Jin Xiaoxi.
The couple wondered if fate was doing its magic.
“Hey! Give me some ideas!” Huo Yunshen scolded when he saw Ye Xun and Huo Sanyan with their mouths wide open.
