Chapter 1699: Hadn’t Yet Confirmed Her Ident.i.ty

Huo Sanyan regained her senses and she didn’t know if she should be happy or sad. She blurted out, “Congratulations, my brother!”

“Why are you congratulating me? What is there to congratulate? I’ve betrayed Jing Xi! How can I justify myself to Jing Xi? I’ve left an unremovable stain on my life, but you congratulate me?!”

Huo Yunshen couldn’t help but explode.

Huo Sanyan didn’t think he would have such a big reaction. She became so scared that she didn’t dare to speak, and looked to Ye Xun for help.

They hadn’t yet confirmed Jin Xiaoxi’s ident.i.ty so Ye Xun advised her to keep calm and not get excited. “Brother, don’t be anxious. We can understand how you feel after something like this has happened. Let’s just plan for right now. You have no choice but to take responsibility for it. After all, the child is innocent.”

Huo Yunshen didn’t say anything and stood in the study. He lifted his head to look somewhere, thinking gloomily.

He realized that looking for advice from Ye Xun and Huo Sanyan was of no use. They didn’t help him figure out how to solve this problem but actually even encouraged him to accept the child.

In the end, Huo Yunshen waved his hand gloomily. “Okay! You guys head back! Let me cool off by myself.”

Ye Xun and Huo Sanyan didn’t waste any time. Both of them said their goodbyes and left the study.

After they went out, the two of them started to investigate Jin Xiaoxi’s background.

They found Jin Xiaoxi in the new playground in the garden. Huo Sanyan nodded at Ye Xun and walked towards Jin Xiaoxi. She then patted her shoulder.

Jing Xi felt someone pat her so she turned her head around. She saw that it was her company’s boss and greeted him. “President Huo!”

“We will be going back soon and I wanted to tell you something before we leave. Don’t forget to come to the company tomorrow morning. The company scheduled for you to take pictures for the poster for a new song,” Huo Sanyan said as a pretext.

“Okay, President Huo, I understand,” Jing Xi promised.

After Huo Sanyan met with her, she left with Ye Xun.

…

In the garden, the two children were playing very happily on the playground.

Ying Bao heard the children’s laughter and followed the sounds to the garden. She saw her two little brothers playing from afar.

Jing Xi saw her come, so she went over to say, “Princess, do you want to join them and play with them?”

In actuality, Jing Xi had seen that the little princess was too reclusive so she hoped she could become happy.

Ying Bao shook her head. “That is a game for children. I’m not a child anymore.”

“But you are not that old. You are still a child. Come and play, princess. Even adults can play on the playground. You can as well!”

After showing some initial resistance, Jing Xi had already pushed Ying Bao to the playground’s entrance. She encouraged her, “You can go in after you take off your shoes. Try it! Go and accompany your two little brothers!”

Ying Bao didn’t say anything. She turned to glance at her, took off her shoes, and then went onto the playground.

Her two little brothers saw her and both shouted at her to come and play. Although Ying Bao wasn’t interested at first, after she played for a while, she felt that the playground was quite fun.

It had already been a long time since she had played so happily on the playground.

On the other side, not long after Ye Xun and Huo Sanyan left, Huo Sanyan also came out from the study. He wanted to go and see if the children had seen the new gift.

When he arrived at the garden, he heard the children’s laughter from afar. He glanced at the gla.s.s playground and he could see the silhouette of three children.

Huo Yunshen was very startled. Even his daughter Ying Bao was inside. It had already been a long time since he’d seen her joining in on any games. Did the sun rise from the west today?

Huo Yunshen came closer and Jing Xi heard footsteps behind her. She turned around to look and saw it was his majesty. She immediately greeted, “Your majesty!”
