After trying to win over Bo Jingcheng for five years, Jiang Xinyue gave up her chance to return to the real world for him. She firmly believed that her deep affection and love could warm his cold h...
Upon hearing Jiang Xinyue's words, Bo Jingcheng's smile instantly froze, and he couldn't help but glare at Jiang Xinyue.
Jiangxinyue was never like this before.
He never expected her to return at this time, much less that she would deliberately expose his lies.
Old Master Bo's gaze swept back and forth between the two men, his expression growing increasingly solemn.
"Jingcheng, what exactly is going on?"
Bo Jingcheng opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
Jiang Xinyue smiled and said, "Grandpa, it's nothing. I was just joking with Jingcheng!"
"Mommy..." At this moment, Bo Xuan stepped forward and hugged Jiang Xinyue's leg, looking up at her, "Xuanxuan missed you so much!"
"Mommy misses you too." Jiang Xinyue squatted down, touched her son's head, and smiled gently.
Bo Jingcheng stood aside, unmoved.
Old Master Bo had already noticed something was off between the two of them, but because Bo Xuan was present, he couldn't expose them.
"It's good to be back!" Old Master Bo changed the subject, immediately turning to the butler and asking, "Butler, is dinner ready?"
The butler quickly and respectfully replied, "Master, everything is ready. We are just waiting for your command to serve the meal."
Grandpa Bo nodded, forcing a smile: "Alright, everyone, let's go to the restaurant. It's a rare occasion for the whole family to get together today."
As he spoke, he stood up and slowly walked towards the restaurant.
Bo Jingcheng stepped forward to help the old man up, secretly relieved that Jiang Xinyue had smoothed things over earlier, but seeing her and Bo Xuan's intimate manner, he felt somewhat unfamiliar with them.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat somber.
Only Bo Xuan would occasionally excitedly share funny stories from kindergarten, trying his best to liven up the atmosphere.
"Grandpa, we drew pictures at kindergarten today. I drew a big castle where me, Dad, and Mommy live," Bo Xuan said, gesturing with his hands.
Grandpa Bo looked at his great-grandson with affection, "Xuanxuan is really amazing. That painting must be preserved well so that his great-grandfather can have a look at it."
Jiang Xinyue smiled and served food to Bo Xuan, saying, "Eat more so you can grow up quickly."
She would occasionally look up, her gaze briefly meeting Bo Jingcheng's, before quickly looking away.
Grandpa Bo had seen it all. After breakfast, he suggested, "Xinyue, why don't you stay at the old house tonight?"
Jiang Xinyue was slightly taken aback and subconsciously turned her gaze to Bo Jingcheng.
Bo Jingcheng was also watching her at that moment. Before she could speak, he preemptively replied, "Grandpa is right. We rarely come back, so we won't go back tonight."
Jiang Xinyue didn't speak, but she was inwardly resistant. Knowing that Old Master Bo was in poor health and couldn't be stimulated, she could only remain silent in front of him.
"Can Mommy sleep with me tonight?" Bo Xuan asked innocently.
"No!" Both Old Master Bo and Bo Jingcheng spoke at the same time.
Jiang Xinyue glanced at them, and immediately the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Grandpa Bo patted Bo Xuan's head and said, "Xuanxuan, how about you sleep with your great-grandfather tonight? I'll tell you a story."
“But I want to be with…” Bo Xuan hadn’t finished speaking when Bo Jingcheng glared at him.
Seeing Bo Jingcheng's gaze, Bo Xuan pouted in grievance, but finally whispered, "Okay, then I'll sleep with Great-Grandpa."
Grandpa Bo smiled and picked up Bo Xuan, "My dear great-grandson, let me tell you your favorite story, Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace."
After saying that, she led Bo Xuan to her room.
Jiang Xinyue and Bo Jingcheng remained where they were, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy for a moment.
Bo Jingcheng's first words weren't words of concern, but rather a reproach: "Didn't I tell you to deal with Grandpa? Your sudden return is a slap in my face!"
Jiang Xinyue's eyes darkened.
The man she had loved for five years, it turned out, still valued his reputation the most.
"Bo Jingcheng, if Grandpa hadn't called and told me to come back tonight, do you think I would have come?"
After saying that, Jiang Xinyue turned around and was about to go upstairs.
Bo Jingcheng didn't seem to intend to let her off the hook. He grabbed her arm and said angrily, "Jiang Xinyue, what do you mean?"
Jiang Xinyue flung his hand away, didn't even glance at him, and turned to walk upstairs.
Bo Jingcheng became even more furious and immediately followed after them.
Upon arriving at her room on the second floor, Jiang Xinyue was about to close the door.
The next second, Bo Jingcheng reached out and braced himself against the door.
Jiang Xinyue said coldly, "I need to rest now. Is there anything else?"
"Jiang Xinyue, do you have to talk to me like that? I've already made Siyao move out, what more do you want?"
Bo Jingcheng was furious. He didn't understand how long she was going to make a scene.
Jiang Xinyue sneered, her eyes full of mockery: "Bo Jingcheng, do you think everything will be fine once she moves out? For the past five years, I've devoted myself to this family, giving up everything I have, and what have I gotten in return? You and your white moonlight having an ambiguous relationship, and your deception and concealment from me!"
Bo Jingcheng was slightly taken aback, wanting to refute, but he had nothing to say.
He looked at Jiang Xinyue, feeling a slight displeasure, but more so annoyance and anger aroused by her attitude.
"I've already tried my best to make up for it, why are you still holding onto this?"
Bo Jingcheng raised his voice, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists.
Jiang Xinyue looked at Bo Jingcheng's favorability rating for her, which had dropped to 70%.
She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Me, clinging to this? Bo Jingcheng, what do you take me for? Or is it that for the past five years, you've been unable to forget your white moonlight? Now that she's back, you want to rekindle your old flame and think I'm the one standing in your way?"
As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears, and her voice trembled slightly.
"I've lost this game. I'll grant your wish. All I have to do is sign the divorce papers. Then no one will stop you from pursuing your 'white moonlight.' Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"
"Jiang Xinyue, what nonsense are you spouting? Siyao and I are completely innocent, it's not what you think." Bo Jingcheng couldn't help but get angry.
Jiang Xinyue sneered inwardly. Pure and innocent?
That's true, aside from a bit of ambiguity, they haven't actually gotten together yet.
In Bo Jingcheng's eyes, is emotional infidelity not considered infidelity? Only physical infidelity counts?
If that day really comes, Jiang Xinyue feels that it won't be a peaceful matter to discuss divorce.
Her husband's affair with another woman is protected by law. As long as she has enough evidence, she can make Bo Jingcheng leave with nothing.
"So what?" Jiang Xinyue looked up at him, her smile laced with sarcasm. "Bo Jingcheng, do you dare say that your heart has never wavered since Shen Siyao returned to the country?"
Jiang Xinyue wasn't stupid. Judging from the way his affection for her kept declining, he hadn't forgotten Shen Siyao at all.
“I…” Bo Jingcheng was speechless for a moment.
He had to admit that since Shen Siyao returned, his long-dormant heart had indeed begun to waver.
Especially that night, when Shen Siyao took the initiative to kiss him, he felt a secret joy in his heart, and even forgot to push her away, instead becoming immersed in the moment.
