CHAPTER 235: CHAPTER 235 YOU STILL HAVE ME

Of course, Ji Dongquan couldn’t be happier!

Surprised for a moment, the corners of his brows lifted involuntarily, and he said, "Of course."

"Mr. Ji." Xuanxuan raised her head, her eyes smiling, revealing a few tiny white teeth.

"Xuanxuan is so adorable." Hearing Xuanxuan call him that, Ji Dongquan’s heart almost melted, feeling overwhelmingly soft.

"Mr. Ji, you must take good care of Mom from now on. You can’t hurt her or let her cry. Xuanxuan wants Mom to smile every day. Can you promise Xuanxuan that?" Xuanxuan placed her hands on her hips, her little serious face quickly hiding her previous radiant smile.

"I promise." Ji Dongquan looked seriously into Xuanxuan’s eyes and said these three words.

"You have to raise your hand to promise, otherwise if Mr. Ji lies, he will be punished by heaven."

Punished by heaven?

Hearing this, both Ji Dongquan and Mi Wan wanted to laugh, but looking at Xuanxuan’s adorably serious expression, they managed to hold back their laughter.

"Alright, Mr. Ji raises his hand and promises Xuanxuan that he won’t bully your mom, will keep her happy for a lifetime, and will be good to Xuanxuan for a lifetime." Ji Dongquan raised his right hand in an oath gesture.

"Then let’s pinky swear." Xuanxuan, still not completely assured, thought for a moment, then extended her right hand with her pinky finger hooked.

Seeing this, Ji Dongquan smiled and cooperatively hooked Xuanxuan’s pinky finger.

"Pinky swear, hang for a hundred years and never change." Xuanxuan lightly shook Ji Dongquan’s large hand and after reciting this, added, "Mr. Ji must not go back on his word, or he will turn into a puppy."

"I definitely won’t go back on my word." Ji Dongquan patiently reassured her again and again, his smile never leaving his face.

"Alright, that’s settled then." Xuanxuan slowly released Ji Dongquan’s hand, her eyes shifting around, and then she gestured to Ji Dongquan to lower his head.

"Xuanxuan wants a cute little brother. Mr. Ji, you and Mom need to work hard together." Just as Ji Dongquan bent his knees, a soft child’s voice sounded in his ear, causing his heart to stir. Watching Xuanxuan’s small figure walk away, he felt an inner tumult that left him unsettled for a long time.

Not long after lunch, several of Ji Dongquan’s bodyguards entered the Mi family’s home. They routinely carried Mi Wan and Xuanxuan’s belongings outside and neatly placed them into the car.

As they watched Mi Wan’s belongings being moved out box by box, Mi Zhihong and Fang Qingru’s emotions grew more complex.

On one hand, they were happy for their daughter finding a good home; on the other hand, there was a sense of reluctance.

"Dad, Mom, you should go inside now, no need to see us off. I will often bring Wanwan and Xuanxuan back to visit you." Ji Dongquan knew well the feelings of the elderly couple, so he comforted them.

"Alright, take care on your way." Mi Zhihong smiled and nodded, then reached out to rub Xuanxuan’s head, saying, "Xuanxuan, you should listen to Mr. Ji from now on."

"Okay."

Xuanxuan nodded heavily, then waved and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, don’t worry. Xuanxuan will be good and listen, and will come back often with Mr. Ji and Mom to see you."

Hearing this, Mi Zhihong and Fang Qingru smiled contentedly, standing where they were, watching the car carrying Mi Wan and Xuanxuan drive away before going upstairs together.

Back home, though the living room setup remained unchanged, Mi Zhihong and Fang Qingru both felt that the house had become much emptier, the bustling home now exceptionally quiet, as if everything had returned to the beginning, to the time when they had no children.

"The children are married." Fang Qingru said somewhat despondently, looking at the open bedroom door.

"You still have me." Mi Zhihong, completely understanding Fang Qingru’s feelings, walked to her side, gently holding her shoulder, and softly comforted.

The children had grown up, their parents had passed away, but this man by her side had accompanied her through all the ups and downs.

Fang Qingru looked up at Mi Zhihong deeply, smiled slightly, her bright smile just like before, radiating a sense of deep happiness.

Yes, regardless of whether the children left or stayed, she still had him. In the days to come, they would continue to accompany each other, never to part!

Back at Ji Dongquan’s home, Mi Wan’s belongings were naturally moved into Ji Dongquan’s room, and as for Xuanxuan, Ji Dongquan had asked the butler to prepare a separate room for her in advance, dreamy pink, very romantic and very cute.

"Wow, it’s so beautiful!" As soon as she entered the room, without waiting for Ji Dongquan and Mi Wan to ask, Xuanxuan already exclaimed with her little mouth open in wonder, full of surprise.

"Mr. Ji, how did you know Xuanxuan liked Hello Kitty?" Xuanxuan’s sparkling eyes shone even brighter with delight, her mouth opening in a smile, with two little dimples faintly visible.

"Of course, your mom told me." Seeing Xuanxuan’s smile, Ji Dongquan’s tone involuntarily became softer.

"It’s really beautiful! Xuanxuan loves it here. Thank you, Mr. Ji." Xuanxuan picked up the pillow on the bedside table, hugging it joyfully, and sweetly thanked Ji Dongquan.

Seeing this, Mi Wan and Ji Dongquan both had happy smiles on their faces, both infected by Xuanxuan’s good mood.

"What about Kabi? Mr. Ji, did you prepare a little bed for Kabi?" After being happy for a while, Xuanxuan remembered Kabi and the fact that the rude brother didn’t like her adorable and clever Kabi.

"Miss Xuanxuan, the dog bed is on the balcony." The butler respectfully replied from beside them.

Miss Xuanxuan?

Hearing this title for the first time, Xuanxuan blinked at him in confusion, then smiled and said, "Uncle, my name is Xuanxuan, not Miss Xuanxuan, so you can call me Xuanxuan from now on."

"Miss Xuanxuan, that’s not the proper way." The butler, having received strict training and having rich work experience, had ingrained the master-servant concept deeply.

Proper way?

What is the proper way?

Xuanxuan furrowed her brow and said, "But Xuanxuan likes Uncle calling me Xuanxuan."

"Just listen to Xuanxuan." Ji Dongquan commanded, full of authority.

"Alright." The butler obediently nodded, then kindly smiled and said, "Xuanxuan, shall I show you the dog bed?"

"Okay." Xuanxuan immediately put the pillow back on the bed, then picked up Kabi from the floor and excitedly followed the butler.

"Xuanxuan, this is Zerui’s room. He likes peace and quiet, so it would be best if you played with your dog in the little garden." The butler explained while walking.
