Upon hearing that Jiang Xinyue had agreed to stay, Bo Xuan immediately stopped crying and smiled, happily hugging Jiang Xinyue's neck and kissing her on the cheek.

"Mommy is the best!"

Seeing that Jiang Xinyue agreed to stay, Bo Jingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As night falls, neon lights come on, illuminating the entire city.

After Jiang Xinyue finished showering, she came out of the bathroom and saw that Bo Jingcheng and his son were already lying on her bed.

"Mommy, come quick, let's sleep together."

Bo Xuan waved to Jiang Xinyue, his eyes full of anticipation, "Mommy, it's been a long time since you slept with me and Daddy."

Hearing this, Jiang Xinyue frowned slightly. Has it been a long time?

It's only been less than half a month.

Seeing that Jiang Xinyue didn't move, Bo Jingcheng frowned and couldn't help but say, "Xuanxuan misses you. You haven't been around for a while, and you won't even grant him this small request?"

Looking into the expectant eyes of the two children on the bed, Jiang Xinyue's defenses quietly crumbled.

She chuckled helplessly and slowly walked towards the bedside, her gaze gently falling on her son. "Alright, I'll do as you say this time."

"Great! Mommy will sleep with us tonight!" Bo Xuan excitedly rolled around on the bed.

Bo Jingcheng moved aside to make room for Jiang Xinyue, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

As soon as Jiang Xinyue lay down, Bo Xuan hugged her tightly like a little koala.

"Mommy, tell me a story! You used to tell me stories before I went to sleep."

As he spoke, Bo Xuan nuzzled his head against her chest.

Jiang Xinyue thought for a moment, "Okay! This time, I'll tell you a story about a mermaid!"

“Okay! I want to hear it.” Bo Xuan nodded vigorously.

Jiang Xinyue gently patted Bo Xuan's back and whispered a story to him.

"Once upon a time, there lived a mermaid princess in the sea, she..."

Jiang Xinyue talked for an unknown amount of time, and Bo Xuan gradually fell asleep in her arms, closing his eyes contentedly.

Jiang Xinyue gently stroked his hair, stopped telling the story, and felt the warmth and dependence emanating from the child, her heart filled with tenderness.

Bo Jingcheng lay on his side, quietly watching the mother and son. Moonlight shone through the gaps in the curtains onto their faces, creating a warm and touching scene.

His thoughts drifted back to the past, to the wonderful times he had spent with Jiang Xinyue, to the sweet moments and the arguments that had once been, all of which became incredibly clear at this moment.

"Are you asleep?" Bo Jingcheng asked softly, his voice tinged with a hint of probing.

Jiang Xinyue turned her head, met his gaze, and shook her head.

Thank you for staying today.

Bo Jingcheng's voice was soft, yet sincere, "Xuanxuan has been talking about you a lot lately, I..."

Jiang Xinyue turned her head away and said calmly, "I stayed not for you, but for Xuanxuan."

Bo Jingcheng nodded slightly, "I know. No matter what, Xuanxuan is still young, and Grandpa can't be upset any more. Can we put the divorce on hold for now?"

Jiang Xinyue paused, her gentle stroking of Bo Xuan's hair ceasing. She remained silent for a moment, then looked up at the night sky outside the window, blurred by neon lights, and said softly, "You know, the problems between us can't be solved in a short time."

Bo Jingcheng moved closer to her, his voice carrying a barely perceptible urgency: "I know, I didn't say we wouldn't solve it, but given the current situation, can we give everyone some time?"

In the moonlight, his eyes were full of earnestness.

Jiang Xinyue turned her head and looked at Bo Jingcheng's face. In the dim light, she seemed to see the weariness and haggardness in his eyes.

Recalling the past, the wonderful times they spent together, she felt a mix of emotions.

"Then what were we during this time?" Jiang Xinyue's voice was tinged with confusion. "Live like before? But some things have changed."

Bo Jingcheng reached out, seemingly wanting to touch Jiang Xinyue, but stopped in mid-air. "Why not try again for Xuanxuan's sake? I... I don't want this family to fall apart."

His voice was choked with emotion, which made Jiang Xinyue's heart clench.

A silence fell over the room, broken only by Bo Xuan's even breathing.

Jiang Xinyue looked at her sleeping son, her heart filled with conflict.

She knew that divorce would be extremely damaging to the children, but when she thought about the irreconcilable conflicts between her and Bo Jingcheng, and the presence of Chen Siyao in between, she hesitated.

"I..." Jiang Xinyue had just opened her mouth when Bo Jingcheng interrupted her.

"Give me a chance, and give our family a chance."

Bo Jingcheng's voice was deep and firm, "Xinyue, I know I didn't do well before, I will change, and I will listen to you in everything from now on, okay?"

As he spoke, Bo Jingcheng hugged Jiang Xinyue from behind.

Jiang Xinyue's defenses remained intact, and images of his care and tenderness towards Shen Siyao, as well as their arguments, kept flashing through her mind.

Suddenly, Bo Jingcheng's favorability rating above his head increased by 10%.

Seeing this, Jiang Xinyue felt no joy whatsoever.

Because she didn't know whether she should have any hope for Bo Jingcheng.

She knew very well that everything had changed since Shen Siyao returned.

She sighed softly, not answering Bo Jingcheng's question directly, but said, "We can put the divorce on hold for now, but you must promise not to see Shen Siyao again before I will believe you."

"Okay, I promise you, I won't see her again."
