Yuanbao brought his toys to the courtyard and squatted there, playing with them silently by himself.

Looking at his small figure, Ji Xiao suddenly said, "He deserves it."

Despite the seemingly random remark, Ye Zhao understood what he meant and smiled as she replied, "Of course he deserves it."

"Are you planning to settle down in Shangyang permanently?" Ji Xiao asked again.

Ye Zhao glanced at him and replied, "That's the plan for now."

Ji Xiao looked around and said with a smile, "That's good too. This place... is very comfortable to live in."

Ye Zhao laughed heartily: "Of course."

Ji Xiao looked at her smile, and a smile appeared in his eyes as well. His expression was much gentler than usual.

Ye Zhao looked at him and asked, "And you? What are your plans next?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiao pondered for a moment before replying, "Let's go to the Grand Canyon in Jiashui first, and then we might have to go abroad again."

Ye Zhao looked at him and couldn't help but say, "The country really can't keep you here."

With a hint of sourness in his voice, Ji Xiao curled his lips and said seriously, "You know, I can't sit still."

Ye Zhao knew this, of course, but she didn't say anything more. Instead, she changed the subject: "Tell me, what happy things happened during your trip to the Amazon?"

Speaking of this, Ye Zhao's eyes lit up as she looked at Ji Xiao.

"We went on this jungle adventure together as a group of three, and we went through..."

Ye Zhao listened attentively as Ji Xiao recounted his experiences on his trip to the Amazon, thoroughly enjoying the story.

When Ji Xiao spoke of these things, his eyes seemed to glow, dazzling and captivating. Ye Zhao looked at him, unable to look away.

Ji Xiao is just like that; he always loves adventure, always loves new things, and always has a vibrant life force.

Yang Juan, who was inside the house, glanced at the two people in the yard every now and then, and then said to Xiao Lin, "Where did Sister Zhao Zhao's friend come from? I feel like there's something off about the atmosphere between them?"

Xiao Lin glanced at him a couple of times, clicked his tongue, and said, "Although this handsome guy is good-looking, I still firmly stand on President Jiang's side."

Yang Juan said with a worried look, "I firmly stand on President Jiang's side, but I feel like Sister Zhao Zhao's feelings for Ji Xiao are a little unusual. I don't understand this trend..."

Kobayashi shook his head and said, "I don't understand it either..."

Ye Zhao looked at Ji Xiao, who was beaming with excitement, with a faint smile on her face.

The two seemed to have endless things to talk about, continuing to chat even after dinner, until Yuanbao got sleepy and started clinging to Ye Zhao, at which point Ji Xiao finally stopped.

"Where do you live? I'll take you home."

Ye Zhao, holding Yuanbao, didn't stand on ceremony with him: "Okay, I live on Guihua Road. Let's go, I'll give you directions."

Watching the two figures walk out of the courtyard gate, Yang Juan sighed softly, "It's all over..."

Ye Zhao tucked the small blanket over Yuanbao and asked, "Are you going back to Jiashui tonight?"

Ji Xiao joked, "Then it depends on whether you want me to stay or not."

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Why wouldn't you stay? There are plenty of rooms here at Green Field, you can stay wherever you like."

Ji Xiao also curled his lips: "Our Boss Ye is rich and powerful."

Ye Zhao retorted, "As if you're so poor..."

Ji Xiao smiled, his lips curving slightly, exuding a handsome and dashing air.

"I'm poor, all alone, wandering the world."

Ji Xiao pushed Ye Zhao in his wheelchair, and the two chatted and laughed as they walked, arriving home in the blink of an eye.

Ji Xiao turned on the light and entered the room, then pushed Ye Zhao inside before asking directly, "Where's the bedroom?"

Ye Zhao gestured with her chin toward the bedroom, and Ji Xiao immediately bent down, took Yuanbao from her arms, and headed toward the bedroom.

As Ji Xiao's unique, cool aura spread out, Ye Zhao was slightly taken aback.

A minute later, Ji Xiao came out of the bedroom and slowly looked around the room: "Your house is decorated so warmly."

Ye Zhao pushed the wheelchair over and poured him a glass of water: "Of course, it doesn't matter who arranged it."

Ji Xiao took the water glass and sat down on the sofa next to him without any hesitation.

He was tall and big; when he sat on the sofa, it made the sofa look small.

He tilted his head back to drink water, his Adam's apple bobbing back and forth, exuding an indescribable sexiness. Ye Zhao glanced at him once and subconsciously looked away.

"Alright, you should get some rest. I'll come find you tomorrow morning."

"Okay, go straight to Green Field. I've had them prepare a room for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Ye."

"polite."

The two smiled at each other, and Ji Xiao turned and went into the alley. Only after his figure disappeared into the night did Ye Zhao close the door and go inside.

She actually envied and liked Ji Xiao's freedom, but now that she had Yuanbao, her precious child, she was reluctant to give it up. Compared to freedom, she loved her peaceful life now more.

The next morning, Ye Zhao tidied herself up, which was unusual for her.

Seeing that the weather was nice, she wore a light green long dress with a white knitted cardigan and light makeup, looking very gentle and beautiful.

When Ji Xiao arrived, she had just finished washing Yuanbao and was dressing him.

"You're here?" Ye Zhao opened the door and turned to the side, a faint smile on her face.

Ji Xiao's gaze fell on her face, his eyes darkening slightly, before he naturally looked away: "All packed?"

"That's about it..." she said, limping as she walked inside. Seeing this, Ji Xiao instinctively reached out and supported her arm.

The warm, dry touch startled both of them.

Little Yuanbao ran out of the bedroom chattering away, but when she saw Ji Xiao, she suddenly shut her mouth and obediently called him "Uncle."

Ji Xiao greeted him with a smile, then asked Ye Zhao, "Where do you want to go today?"

Ye Zhao looked at him with amusement: "Shouldn't I be asking you that? I've lived here for two years, after all."

Yuanbao, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up: "Mom, let's go to the amusement park. I haven't been there in ages."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiao looked at Ye Zhao and asked, "And you?"

Ye Zhao looked at Yuanbao's expectant expression and said, "If you don't mind, shall we go to the amusement park?"

"Of course I don't mind."

Ji Xiao drove the car. He was tall and strong, and although his clothes didn't make him look bulky, he had real muscles on his body, so he had no problem carrying the mother and son who had difficulty moving around.

The happiest person at the amusement park was Yuanbao; Ye Zhao and Ji Xiao were just accompanying him.

Yuanbao was quite excited along the way, and with Ji Xiao teasing him from time to time, the atmosphere was very joyful.

Ji Xiao may look tall and strong, but he is actually very meticulous and considerate of Ye Zhao and her son's feelings. Moreover, he has a lot of skills, and he can completely attract Yuanbao's attention by showing one or two of them from time to time.

He didn't spoil the fun; whatever it was, as long as Yuanbao wanted to play, he took him on a tour.

Ye Zhao could tell that it was probably because Ji Xiao was tall and strong, and looked a bit fierce when he wasn't smiling. Yuan Bao didn't like to interact with him at first, but after playing with him for a day, he couldn't wait to stick to Ji Xiao.

However, when they get tired or sleepy from playing, they still know to look for Ye Zhao.

At this moment, Ye Zhao was holding the sleeping Yuanbao, sitting in the back of Ji Xiao's car.

"You must be tired too? Shall I take you home?"

Ye Zhao looked at Yuanbao in his arms and asked, "Are you leaving?"

In the rearview mirror, the two looked at each other for a few seconds before Ji Xiao looked away first: "Hmm."

Ye Zhao was silent for a moment before saying, "I'll have Xiao Lin pick up the child, and we'll go get some food."

"good."

Ye Zhao knew that once he left, he probably wouldn't come back.
