Yun Bixue knew that Meng Xintong must be pursing her lips in displeasure right now.
Yun Bixue revealed a slight smile. “I’m your family, but you have a father as well…”
“He’s still travelling around, visiting all the places mother had visited before. Even though he was in the wrong, I feel pretty indifferent about it right now. After all, I never had any expectations for him.”
“Xintong, I’m thinking that with Zhou Pingyu’s position in the political scene, if there’s someone who were to dig up your past, they could kidnap your father and use him as a bargaining chip.”
Meng Xintong gasped. “Bixue, thank goodness you reminded me. I will make arrangements for it.”
“Okay. The Meng family seems to be developing well in the imperial capital as well. But for now, don’t rush to choose a side, remember to observe the situation.”
“Okay.”
Yun Bixue continued chatting with Meng Xintong and only hung up after a while.
It was a little boring being alone. Yun Bixue picked a television drama to watch and happened upon the press conference of “Palace Tales.”
Yun Bixue’s eyes twinkled. This drama was created by her own film studio in the imperial capital, and she participated in the choosing of its actors. However, the drama used to have a different name.
Yun Bixue was still pretty satisfied with how the actors performed during the press conference.
Li Xu, especially, performed well. She never expected him to be this popular. The cheers of his fans were very loud.
The emcee even asked if he had any thoughts about being popular and having his name known even on the international stage.
Li Xu took over the microphone and said, “That I can be where I am right now, I wish to thank a person. This person is my benefactor. If I was not given a chance by this person, I would not have become the me today… Back then, when I was poor, this person helped me through, that is why I would always tell myself to work hard so that I don’t waste the kindness shown to me…”
These words were heartfelt, and the audience gave a huge round of applause.
The emcee asked curiously, “Can we enquire about the identity of your benefactor? Is the person a man or a woman?”
Li Xu smiled in reply. “Sorry, I really cannot tell you who that person is. However, what I believe is that everyone who meets their benefactor will always do their best to show their gratitude.”
His statement was reasonable and earnest, so people were not concerned that he did not directly answer the question. After that, they gave him another round of applause.
Similarly, the female lead of the drama expressed her heartfelt gratitude for her benefactor but did not reveal the identity of the person.
Everyone speculated that Li Guile and Li Xu shared the same benefactor.
…
Looking at how they expressed their gratitude during the press conference, Yun Bixue felt all warm and fuzzy inside.
In fact, the reason why she chose them initially was because they had great personalities. She didn’t expect any of them to be thankful towards her. However, not expecting it was one thing and hearing what they had to say was another.
She felt warm inside. Without knowing it, she actually did so much.
Suddenly, it felt as if doing all those things was worth it. After hustling around so much, one day, when you look back, your life would feel extremely fulfilling.
After a while, Yun Bixue fell asleep, leaning onto the sofa as she watched the drama. The servants adjusted the air conditioner quietly and brought a blanket for her.
When Xie Limo returned to see Yun Bixue sleeping on the sofa, his gaze softened. He dropped a light kiss on her hair and instructed the servants to prepare the meal before carrying her to the bedroom.
Yun Bixue woke up groggily. Upon seeing him carry her, she asked, “You can still carry me?”
