Looking at Jiang Xinyue's resolute expression, Bo Jingcheng swallowed hard, his eyes reddening: "Xinyue, I was blinded by love back then, and I betrayed your sincerity, causing you to suffer so much. But Xuanxuan is innocent. He calls for his mother in his dreams every night. I came here this time just to ask you to spend more time with him."
Bo Xuan clutched Jiang Xinyue's clothes tightly with his little hands, tears welling up in his eyes. "Mommy, please, just stay with Xuanxuan for a few days, okay?"
Jiang Xinyue's heart clenched painfully. Her gaze lingered on Bo Xuan's youthful face for a moment, but she didn't say a word.
At this moment, Fu Shuheng walked over carrying his one-month-old baby.
"Honey, the baby is hungry, it's time to feed him."
Upon seeing the baby boy in Fu Shuheng's arms, Bo Jingcheng's eyes widened in disbelief. "This...this is your child with him?"
Before Jiang Xinyue could speak, Fu Shuheng, holding the child, stood in front of her, his face full of displeasure, and said, "Bo Jingcheng, you've seen it yourself. Xinyue and I are already married and have a child. Why won't you let go of your obsession and insist on pestering her?"
Bo Xuan never expected that his mother would marry another man and give birth to a half-brother.
"Mommy, why did you marry Uncle Fu? Why did you have a little brother? Don't you love me and Daddy anymore?"
Jiang Xinyue took a deep breath and remained silent for a while before slowly speaking: "That's right, I don't love you anymore. As for why I married Shuheng, it's because he's the only one who loves me wholeheartedly, the only one I can entrust my life to."
Bo Jingcheng swayed, as if struck hard by Jiang Xinyue's words. His lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a word for a moment.
Bo Xuan's little face turned bright red, and tears streamed down his face like a burst dam. He burst into tears, crying, "Mommy is lying! You used to love Xuanxuan and Daddy the most, how could you abandon us!"
Fu Shuheng frowned as he looked at the chaotic scene before him, soothing the crying baby in his arms, and said to Bo Jingcheng, "Bo Jingcheng, you heard it too, Xinyue's mind is made up. Please take the child and leave, and don't disturb our lives anymore."
Bo Jingcheng clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms. He suppressed his grief and looked at Jiang Xinyue: "Xinyue, am I really so unworthy of another chance? I regret what happened back then every day, and I've wanted to go back in time countless times to make up for the hurt I caused you."
Jiang Xinyue turned her face away, her expression cold, her voice trembling slightly: "The past can never be undone. Bo Jingcheng, the rift between us cannot be repaired with just a few apologies. Over the years, Shuheng has always been by my side, giving me warmth and support during my most desperate times."
Bo Xuan cried and rushed towards Jiang Xinyue, hugging her legs tightly with his little hands: "Mommy, I don't want a new little brother, I just want you and Daddy to come home. Xuanxuan will be good and obedient from now on, and won't make you angry. Please come back, okay?"
Jiang Xinyue felt as if her heart was being pierced by countless needles, but she gritted her teeth and hardened her heart to pry open Bo Xuan's little hands: "Xuanxuan, you and your father go back, and don't come looking for me again."
Looking at Jiang Xinyue's indifferent profile, Bo Jingcheng knew that no amount of words could change the situation.
He stepped forward, picked up the distraught Bo Xuan, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Xin Yue, since this is your choice, I respect it. But Xuan Xuan is, after all, your son. I hope you can show him some concern from time to time."
After saying that, he took Bo Xuan's hand, turned around and left, his back view lonely and desolate.
Back at the hotel, Bo Xuan cried until he was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep in Bo Jingcheng's arms.
Bo Jingcheng gently stroked his son's forehead, his eyes filled with guilt and helplessness.
"Xuanxuan, Dad will definitely bring Xinyue back to us."
the next day.
Undeterred, Bo Jingcheng returned to the Fu family villa.
Fu Shuheng went to the company early in the morning, leaving Jiang Xinyue at home to take care of their son.
Just then, the family's maid rushed in, looking flustered.
"Young Madam, something terrible has happened! That man from yesterday has come again."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinyue's expression changed. "Aunt Fu, don't open the door, and don't let him in. Just tell him I won't see him and that he should leave immediately."
Fu Ma nodded and left in a hurry. Bo Jingcheng stood outside the carved iron gate, his posture upright but unable to hide his loneliness.
He pressed the doorbell, and after a long while, Aunt Fu called out through the door, "Mr. Bo, the young mistress said she will not see you and wants you to leave."
Bo Jingcheng stared at the tightly closed door, then took out an exquisite brocade box from his pocket. Inside was a pearl necklace with a crescent-shaped sapphire set in the center, which was exactly what Jiang Xinyue had been longing for.
He bought it at a high price before the Bo family went bankrupt.
Later, after the Bo family went bankrupt, he couldn't bear to sell it, so he thought that if he saw Jiang Xinyue again, he must give her this gift.
“Aunt Fu, please give this to Xinyue. Tell her that this is what I owe her,” Bo Jingcheng said earnestly.
"This, Mr. Bo..."
"Aunt Fu, please, I'll be leaving right away."
After hesitating for a moment, Fu's mother took the brocade box through the crack in the door. "Alright then!"
Back in the living room, Fu's mother handed the brocade box to Jiang Xinyue.
"Young Madam, that gentleman asked me to give this to you."
Jiang Xinyue took the brocade box and gently stroked its surface with her fingers. The familiar touch instantly evoked memories of the past.
She took a deep breath and slowly opened the necklace. The dazzling necklace came into view, the crescent-shaped sapphire emitting a soft glow, like a key that unlocked a long-sealed door deep within her heart.
Once, she and Bo Jingcheng were strolling down the street when she fell in love with this necklace at first sight. At that time, they held hands, their eyes full of longing for the future, promising to spend their lives together.
"Jingcheng, I want this, it's so pretty. It's just a pity it's too expensive, we can't afford it."
At that time, the Bo family's business was just starting out, and they didn't have much money at all.
Bo Jingcheng put his arm around her and said, "Xinyue, don't worry. Once the Bo Group becomes a listed company and I have money, I will definitely buy it and give it to you."
But later, Bo Jingcheng's beloved returned, and the changes in the Bo family, Bo Jingcheng's infidelity, and his son's estrangement shattered all the beauty like bubbles.
Seeing Jiang Xinyue's unpredictable expression, Aunt Fu cautiously said, "Young Madam, Mr. Bo said that this is what he owes you, and he will leave after delivering it."
Jiang Xinyue gripped the necklace tightly, her nails almost digging into her palms. After a long while, she whispered, "I understand, Aunt Fu. You can go ahead and do your work!"
After Aunt Fu left, Jiang Xinyue put the necklace back into the brocade box.
She then tossed it aside without even glancing at it.
Just then, Fu Shuheng returned and happened to see the things Jiang Xinyue had thrown aside.
Fu Shuheng asked curiously, "What is this?"
Jiang Xinyue was stunned for a moment, "You're back!"
