Jing Xi tried her best to avoid meeting or talking with Huo Yunshen.
But one day, Huo Yunshen asked her to meet him in his room and told her, “Jing Xiaoxi, I’ll have to visit Zstan tomorrow.”
Jing Xi was literally clapping in her head when she heard the news. She was excited that he wouldn’t be around for at least a few days.
But it was too early for her to celebrate as Huo Yunshen continued to say, “Since my arm is like this, I need you to follow me too.”
It was as if the sky came down on Jing Xi.
Huo Yunshen shook his arm, and Jing Xi was utterly speechless. She was the one who was responsible for injuring his arm, so it was natural that she had to take care of him.
With the trip set in motion, Jing Xi started to pack that night.
Not only did she have to pack her own stuff, but Jing Xi also had to help Huo Yunshen pack too.
In the end, she packed three big pieces of luggage for Huo Yunshen.
“Am I going to a fashion show? Why are you bringing so many clothes?” Huo Yunshen asked.
“But aren’t you attending different events and meetings? There’s no way you’re just going to wear one suit, right?”
“Four is enough,” Huo Yunshen said.
If he only needed four outfits, one piece of luggage was more than enough. Jing Xi had just wasted almost half a day for nothing.
Since they were departing the next day, Jing Xi slept with the kids that night and told them about the trip.
She thought the kids would want her to stay and would beg their father to not take her with him, but surprisingly, they strongly agreed with her going on the trip too.
“I’ll leave daddy to you,” Little Grape said.
“I’ll take care of myself too,” Little Apple said.
“Auntie Xiaoxi should enjoy the trip,” Ying Bao said. “Can you please tell Auntie Orange and Brother Feimo that I miss them if you see them?”
“Of course. I’ll tell them that when I see them.”
Jing Xi felt baffled. She thought the kids would want her to stay like they always did.
She had to leave for a few days, and the kids weren’t even trying to ask her not to go.
Jing Xi woke up early the next day to prepare breakfast. She then woke the kids up and had Lan Yi bring them to school.
After saying goodbye to the kids, she left for the airport with the king.
Jing Xi boarded the royal private jet and realized how different it was compared to a standard aircraft. It was if she had entered a very luxurious room instead of a plane.
The king sat down and asked Jing Xi to sit beside him.
There were only two seats per row and all other rows were taken by assistants and guards. Jing Xi had no choice but to sit down beside Huo Yunshen.
The pilot announced they would be taking off soon not long after they were seated.
Huo Yunshen shifted towards Jing Xi a little, and it scared her to death.
“What… what are you doing?” Jing Xi scolded.
Huo Yunshen only stared at her, and Jing Xi realized that he was helping her with her seatbelt.
Jing Xi felt so awkward that she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.
The plane finally took off, and Huo Yunshen lay back to rest a little.
Realizing that Huo Yunshen’s eyes were closed, Jing Xi finally calmed down a little and laid her seat back.
