CHAPTER 689: CHAPTER 689: THE SILLY CAT WHO RAN AWAY FROM HOME 1

Ning Xixi was stunned.

She understood Ji Yebai very well, just as Ji Yebai understood her.

He was not a man who made promises lightly; once he made one, he would keep it at all costs.

Unbeknownst to herself, her eyes reddened.

She said, "Thank you, Yebai."

Ji Yebai frowned with his handsome eyebrows, "Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for making me feel loved."

Making me feel, in this world, I am not alone.

You are the long night, the lamplight, the hope, the reliance.

You are Erxi’s Yebai.

...

Home of Ning Jingshen and Lu Qinghe.

"Old Ning, I’ve prepared a bath for you, go soak and relieve some fatigue," Lu Qinghe winked ambiguously at Ning Jingshen.

A bath, between them, was a codeword for intimacy.

Previously, Ning Jingshen was quite enthusiastic about it, guessing it was due to the repression during the years Song Weiyang was dead.

But today, he behaved unusually, not even wanting to glance at her, he said indifferently, "I have some business to handle at the company, I’ll stay over at the office tonight."

After saying that, Ning Jingshen took a couple of changes of clothes and left.

Lu Qinghe felt unwilling, yet powerless.

She knew that Ning Jingshen had started to suspect her, and there was now a distance between them.

Downstairs, she vented by smashing everything she could in the living room.

The maids were frightened and dared not approach, while Gong Xiu sat calmly on the sofa reading a book, his expression unchanged as if Mount Tai were crumbling before him.

Lu Qinghe sent away the maids, her gaze shadowy as she stared at Gong Xiu, "Do you still like that slutty woman?"

"Mom, who are you talking about?"

"You know very well, don’t play dumb with me!"

Gong Xiu laughed, a devilishly charming light sparkling in his peach blossom eyes, "Mom, did you think I didn’t know about all the things you’ve done?"

Lu Qinghe squinted, "Are you really going to turn against your mother over a woman? I did all this for whom? Isn’t it so you could have a better future!

Your dad is not favored in the Gong Family, the fortune you can inherit is minimal..."

"Mom, is that why you and dad got a divorce?" Gong Xiu asked sorrowfully.

Just for the sake of fortune, how sad.

"So what if it was!"

Seeing that Lu Qinghe was not ashamed but rather proud, Gong Xiu felt desperate.

His sense of revenge arose, and he said deliberately, "Mom, I actually don’t like Ning Xixi at all."

Lu Qinghe was stunned, disbelieving, she probed, "Really?"

"Yeah." Gong Xiu smirked, "But what I like are men."

The room went silent for a few seconds, then Lu Qinghe screamed hysterically like a madwoman, "What did you say? If you’re gay, you might as well be dead to me!"

"Why? Afraid I won’t like women and you can’t arrange marriages for me?" Gong Xiu teased with a playful smile, "Mom, don’t pretentiously say it’s for my benefit, all your actions are for yourself!"

He wasn’t really into men, he had said that just to provoke her!

Otherwise, if Lu Qinghe knew he liked Ning Xixi, she might dislike Ning Xixi even more and still try to arrange marriages for him, forcing women on him.

He finally realized something, not all mothers are great.

Some are selfish, very selfish!

...

Ji Family.

As Ji Ning and the Young Mistress entered, a maid hurried forward, "Young Master! Young Mistress! Miss Miaomiao is throwing a tantrum to leave home, what should we do?"

Ning Xixi’s eyes widened in shock,"What?"
