CHAPTER 38: CHAPTER 38: WHO IS HE?

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

On the magazine, a man in a black suit sat on a leather sofa, his eyes intense.

The little guy stared at the face for a long time, then climbed out of bed, grabbed the magazine, and ran into the bathroom.

"Jingxi..."

Ye Xinluo was about to say something when the bathroom door slammed shut. She had no choice but to swallow her words.

This kid, why is he so rash? With a helpless smile, she continued packing her clothes.

Inside the bathroom. Jingxi stood on a small stool, looking at himself in the mirror. He held the magazine high, comparing it to his own reflection.

No mistake. The man in the magazine was Beichen Rui.

He stared for a long time and, after confirming several times, suddenly realized a problem.

The man in the magazine looked very much like him. Or rather, he looked very much like the man in the magazine. Especially the eyes and mouth, they were particularly similar.

He stood there in a daze for a while before coming to his senses. What was going on? Who was he?

Why did he look so much like himself?

He reached out and touched his own face. It was seventy to eighty percent similar to the man in the magazine.

Was this a coincidence?

A big question mark formed in his heart.

He picked up the magazine and carefully read through the man’s information.

Beichen Rui, the current CEO of the Beichen Group.

Beichen Rui?

Beichen Group? Beichen?

His brow furrowed. Wasn’t the Beichen Group the place where Mom worked? And he remembered Shanshan, his godmother, saying that Mom was now the CEO’s assistant.

The CEO of Beichen Group was...

His gaze lingered on the man’s face in the magazine. So, was Mom going on this business trip with him?

His brow furrowed even deeper.

The questions in his heart grew larger and larger.

No, he didn’t believe it. He couldn’t believe that there could be two people in the world who looked so alike.

Even leaves can’t be identical, let alone people.

Unless...

At the thought of this possibility, his heart became a bit excited, but along with the excitement came fear.

If things were really as he thought. Then, staying with this person would be very dangerous for Mom.

He jumped off the stool, opened the door, and ran to Ye Xinluo. "Jingxi, what’s wrong?"

Ye Xinluo looked at the little guy confusedly, not understanding what he wanted to do.

"Mom, take a look at who this is." He handed her the magazine. Ye Xinluo took it and glanced at it.

Uh...

Isn’t this...

"Jingxi, is there a problem?"

"Mom, is he your boss?"

Jingxi asked curiously, even though he already knew the answer in his heart. But he had a strange feeling, like someone was about to take his mom away.

"Yes, what’s up?" She wasn’t very surprised, thinking maybe Jingxi just thought he was handsome.

Indeed, the CEO was really handsome. That was an undeniable fact. However, his orientation was a bit...

Ahem.

Heaven can be a bit unfair, being so handsome, but he... likes men.

Jingxi observed Ye Xinluo’s expression, seeing that she hadn’t detected anything unusual, he spoke again.

"Mom, don’t you think he looks a lot like someone?"

Prompted by this, Ye Xinluo picked up the magazine and examined Beichen Rui’s face closely.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

"I know who he looks like."

"Who?" Jingxi was a bit nervous, hoping it wasn’t as he thought.

"He looks like a celebrity."

......

Jingxi widened his eyes, staring at Ye Xinluo in disbelief.

What the heck? A celebrity?

Mom, are you sure you’re not joking with me?

My goodness.

My own dear mother is so naive, it makes me want to cry...

Jingxi could only feel a flock of crows flying over his head. It’s over, Mom is beyond help.

After making it so obvious, how could Mom manage to mistake him for a celebrity?

This is unbelievable.

Mom, I wouldn’t even help an old lady cross the street, but I accept you.

In the future, don’t say I’m your son when we go out, it lowers my IQ...

He couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Ye Xinluo, but she was still pondering over who Beichen Rui looked like.

She didn’t notice the little guy’s expression at all, and couldn’t possibly guess that her dear son was deeply frustrated with her.

Jingxi looked at Ye Xinluo with a bit of speechlessness, seeing her determined look, he reached out and grabbed the magazine from her hand.

"Mom, stop looking at it, get some sleep. You have to go on a business trip tomorrow."

"Alright then."

Ye Xinluo responded softly, picked up her change of clothes, and went to the bathroom.

As the bathroom door closed, Jingxi climbed onto the bed, switched off the small lamp, and lay down to sleep.

Thinking about things in his head, he couldn’t fall asleep. Eventually, he decided to stop thinking altogether.

Oh well, there’s no point in thinking so much, what if he’s overthinking it. He would deal with it later.

......

Early the next morning, Ye Xinluo got up to make breakfast. The little guy woke up as she was setting the table.

"Morning, Mom."

"Jingxi, come eat breakfast quickly."

Jingxi sat down at the table, picked up the chopsticks, and began to eat silently.

This morning’s breakfast included meat buns, which he loved.

"Jingxi, Mom won’t be home for a few days, you have to listen to what Shanshan godmother says, alright?" Ye Xinluo instructed.

It was the first time she was leaving the little guy for so long, and she really wasn’t used to it.

"Hmm, don’t worry Mom, I’ll listen to godmother." The little guy said while eating.

"Be good at school too, listen to the teacher."

"Mom, you’re nagging.." The little guy couldn’t help but comment.

"Do you really think it’s good to dislike your mom like this?" It’s all for your own good, yet you dare to complain.

"Mom, you’re just going on a business trip, not leaving for long. You’ll be back in a few days." The little guy wasn’t thinking too much about it.

Although he was also reluctant, but for the sake of a future life, there was no choice.

If he cried and caused a fuss now, Mom wouldn’t bear to leave him alone at home.

"Mom, be careful on the road, and remember to buy me snacks when you come back."

"You little foodie." Ye Xinluo smiled helplessly, utterly defeated by this little guy. She had no idea whom he inherited this foodie nature from.

...

After they finished breakfast, Jingxi was taken to school by Housekeeper Ning. Ye Xinluo dragged her suitcase and headed to the company.

The flight to Hai City was at three in the afternoon, it was still early. Ye Xinluo decided to visit Lan Shan.

When she reached Lan Shan’s desk, she was on the phone. Ye Xinluo waited for her to finish before starting the conversation.

"Shanshan."

Lan Shan turned around, smiled at her, "Xinluo, just go without worry, leave Jingxi to me."

Knowing what she intended to say, Lan Shan patted her chest and assured her.

"With you, I’m very reassured. Oh, here’s the key." She placed a set of keys in front of her.

It was a spare key to the house that she had specifically found last night to give to Lan Shan.

If anything happened in the future, giving her own key to Lan Shan would be inconvenient. So, Ye Xinluo thought of giving her the spare key. This way, she wouldn’t have to hand her own key each time.
