Thinking of this, Jiang Xinyue felt extremely heartbroken and pointed at her, saying, "Now, you're secretly coming to see your white moonlight behind my back."
Before Bo Jingcheng could speak, Shen Siyao's eyes immediately reddened. "Xinyue, you've misunderstood. I really didn't mean to. I didn't want to ruin your relationship."
Then, with teary eyes, she looked at Bo Jingcheng, took his arm, and said pitifully, "Jingcheng, I'm sorry, should I not have come back?"
Bo Jingcheng completely forgot his previous promise, and hugged Shen Siyao with heartache, gently comforting her: "Siyao, it's not your fault, it's my fault for not handling it well."
His eyes were full of concern for Shen Siyao, as if all the tenderness he had shown her before was fake.
Jiang Xinyue felt a sharp pain in her heart, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Fine, I shouldn't have shown up and disturbed your reunion."
“Mommy…” Bo Xuan tugged at Jiang Xinyue’s clothes, his eyes filled with unease and fear.
Jiang Xinyue knelt down and hugged her son tightly, as if embracing the only warmth in the world. "Xuanxuan, don't be afraid, Mom is here."
"Come on, let's go home with Mom." She stood up, took a deep breath, took her son's hand, and turned to leave.
"Wife..." Seeing this, Bo Jingcheng frowned and wanted to chase after her.
The next second, Shen Siyao grabbed his arm and said pitifully, "Jingcheng, I just got back and have nowhere to go. Are you really going to leave me alone?"
Bo Jingcheng paused, watching Jiang Xinyue and Bo Xuan's departing figures, but ultimately did not move.
He turned his head and said softly to Shen Siyao, "Siyao, I'll take you to the hotel first."
Jiang Xinyue, her face filled with sorrow, took Bo Xuan home.
"Madam is back!" Aunt Xiu saw Jiang Xinyue leading Bo Xuan back, but Bo Jingcheng was nowhere to be seen. She looked puzzled and asked, "Oh, where's the young master? Didn't he come back with you?"
“He still has things to do, let’s eat first!” Jiang Xinyue changed the subject.
Although Aunt Xiu was full of doubts, she didn't ask any more questions and turned to go to the kitchen to prepare the meal.
Jiang Xinyue returned to the room and helped Bo Xuan change his clothes. The little guy had been quiet the whole way, but now he looked up at Jiang Xinyue with a worried expression on his innocent face: "Mommy, are you unhappy?"
Jiang Xinyue forced a smile, patted his head and said, "Xuanxuan, be good, Mommy's fine."
During the meal, Jiang Xinyue absentmindedly served food to Bo Xuan, but the image of Bo Jingcheng and Shen Siyao together that she had seen during the day kept replaying in her mind.
She kept telling herself to stay calm, and to maintain the integrity of the family for Bo Xuan's sake.
After dinner, Bo Jingcheng returned with a gift in his hand and apologized to Jiang Xinyue.
"Yueyue, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to forget our fifth wedding anniversary. This is a gift for you."
Jiang Xinyue felt a pang of sadness as she looked at the gift in front of her.
She recalled what had happened during the day and felt that the gift was more of an irony.
But in front of Bo Xuan, she still accepted the gift and said calmly, "It's nothing."
Upon seeing the gift, Bo Xuan asked curiously, "Dad, what is this gift?"
Bo Jingcheng patted Bo Xuan's head and said with a smile, "It's for Mom. Can you help Mom open it?"
"Yay! Mommy, let's open the presents together!" Bo Xuan clapped his hands.
"Okay." Jiang Xinyue smiled gently, reached out and touched her son's head. She opened it and found a valuable jade necklace inside.
"Wow, this necklace is so pretty! It matches Mommy perfectly!"
"Wife, this is a piece of jewelry I designed for you. It's the only one of its kind in the world. Let me put it on you!" Bo Jingcheng picked up the jade necklace and was about to put it on Jiang Xinyue.
Jiang Xinyue did not move, letting Bo Jingcheng put the necklace on her.
"Wife, you are so beautiful!" Bo Jingcheng held Jiang Xinyue's hand, his expression returning to its usual gentleness.
Jiang Xinyue didn't say anything, and subconsciously withdrew her hand.
Seeing this, Bo Jingcheng's smile froze. "Wife, are you still angry with me? Siyao and I are really not what you think. I just went to pick her up."
Upon hearing Bo Jingcheng's words, Jiang Xinyue couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She looked up and stared directly at Bo Jingcheng, her eyes filled with disappointment and doubt: "Really? Then let me ask you, do you still like her now?"
Bo Jingcheng frowned slightly, seemingly considering how to answer. After a moment, he said, "I haven't liked you for a long time, Yueyue. The person I love now is you."
Jiang Xinyue looked at the favorability rating above his head, which had already dropped by 5%.
Her eyes were slightly red, and she held back her tears, not wanting to show her vulnerability in front of Bo Jingcheng.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Bo Jingcheng quickly reached out his hand to assure her, "Yueyue, what I said is true, you must believe me."
At this moment, Bo Xuan tugged at Jiang Xinyue's sleeve and whispered, "Mom, Dad bought you a gift, so please forgive him!"
The children's innocent words pierced Jiang Xinyue's heart like a knife. Did they think that as long as Bo Jingcheng gave her a wedding anniversary gift, it would be as if nothing had happened?
Jiang Xinyue found it both laughable and pathetic. "Bo Jingcheng, the real reason I'm angry isn't that you didn't prepare a gift for me, nor that you forgot our wedding anniversary. It's that there's still a place for Shen Siyao in your heart."
She had been trying to win him over for five years, but his affection for her remained at 99%. She thought it was because she hadn't tried hard enough and hadn't been able to make him fall completely in love with her.
Now she understood that the 1% spot was reserved for Shen Siyao.
"Xinyue, I've already explained it to you. Siyao and I are over. Why are you still being unreasonable?"
Bo Jingcheng frowned, his handsome face immediately darkening.
"Am I being unreasonable?"
Upon hearing Bo Jingcheng's words, Jiang Xinyue felt a surge of grievances welling up inside her.
She took a deep breath, and tears welled up uncontrollably again: "Bo Jingcheng, it's been five years. I can tolerate that you once loved Shen Siyao. But I've been by your side for five years, trying my best to be a good wife and a good mother, yet you've always held back from me. You say you love me, but as soon as she comes back, you secretly go to see her. Is this what you call love?"
Bo Jingcheng's eyes flashed with a hint of panic, but it vanished in an instant. He raised his voice: "Jiang Xinyue, how many times have I told you? I went to see her behind your back because I was afraid you would be angry and jealous. Why can't you understand me?"
"Understand?" Jiang Xinyue smiled bitterly. "If I understand you, who will understand me?"
Bo Xuan watched his parents argue, his eyes filled with tears, and he burst into tears, crying out, "Mom and Dad, please don't fight!"
Jiang Xinyue hugged Bo Xuan tenderly and gently patted his back to comfort him, "Don't cry, Xuanxuan."
Bo Jingcheng was also somewhat annoyed. He tried to reach out and hug Bo Xuan, but Jiang Xinyue dodged him.
"Bo Jingcheng, I'm tired, really tired. Maybe we both need some time to calm down." Jiang Xinyue's voice was filled with exhaustion.
