At night, the two children were like little birds nested under Jing Xi’s arms. There was one on either side and both of them wanted to listen to her tell a story.
Whenever the story talked about something that was related to dads, Little Apple would ask his mother, “Mom, when will dad come back?”
The child was still waiting for daddy Heiniu to return. He still hadn’t forgotten him. Jing Xi told him, “Daddy went to travel around the world. He will come back once he visits every country. You need to know that although you don’t have daddy Heiniu right now, you still have your king daddy. The king is your real dad, and this is your real home.”
Little Apple knew all of this. However, he still hoped to go back to his previous house. He liked how it was when he lived with daddy Heiniu.
After Jing Xi hadn’t heard the children’s voice for a long time, she said, “Okay, it is time for you two to sleep.”
No one answered her so she lowered her head to look. It turned out the two fellas had already fallen asleep. Perhaps it was because they had too much fun in the day and tired themselves from playing. Little Grape was usually full of energy but he entered his dreamland very early tonight.
Jing Xi covered them with blankets and also closed her eyes to sleep.
The next morning, Jing Xi turned the children over to Auntie Lan and then went to the company.
Since Scar was released, she had already finished recording a second song. She came today to prepare for her third song after she joined Kaidi.
The company had already prepared a stylist and makeup artist for her. They wanted to create a new appearance and have a photoshoot.
The makeup artist welcomed her enthusiastically when she arrived in the makeup room. She led her in front of the makeup vanity and started to put on her makeup.
After the makeup was done, the stylist came to comb her hair and shape her appearance.
She was dressed up from head to toe. In the end, she was dressed up so much that she couldn’t even recognize herself.
Although she was still very ugly, there was ample boldness and vigor to her ugliness.
Jing Xi didn’t know why but when she was facing the camera, she was able to get the rhythm of it very easily. She didn’t even need the photographer to direct her to be able to pose the way he wanted her to.
While she was working with the photographer, unbeknownst to her, the comb she had used many times before had already been sent to the president’s office.
The comb was in an individual transparent bag and the makeup artist handed it over to Huo Sanyan. “President Huo, this is Jin Xiaoxi’s hair you wanted. The comb is new and she was the only one who used it.”
“Okay, very good.”
Huo Sanyan held it in her hand and looked at the soft hair on the comb. The corners of her mouth moved up and a satisfied smile appeared.
She would be able to identify her once she got some of Little Grape’s hair or fingernails later.
After Jing Xi finished the photoshoot, she then went to have two training sessions that the company had arranged. She left Kaidi once that finished.
She didn’t return straight to the palace. Instead, she went to her rental house. She still carried a sliver of hope that when she returned, Heiniu would still be at home, not having gone anywhere.
She arrived at the rental house, opened the door, and everything still looked the same.
Unfortunately, after she went around the house, she didn’t see any signs that Heiniu had returned. He had really left. He left without saying goodbye.
Perhaps that was best! Jing Xi had positive feelings towards Heiniu. Although they didn’t become a real married couple, she still felt the life she had with him was very happy.
Now that he had left, she missed him very much like Little Niuniu. She didn’t know when he would return, if he would return.
Jing Xi only returned to the palace after staying in the small house for a while.
…
She needed to start packing things for the princes and princess because they were about to go to Estan with the king.
Jing Xi would also be going with them this time. The main reason she was going was that she was afraid Little Apple might not be used to being away from her.
