Chapter 42 Taking the Initiative to Find Her
Fu Xingyi tugged at Fu Shenyuan's sleeve and looked up at him.
Fu Xingyi's eyes were bright as he looked up at Fu Shenyuan.
Fu Shenyuan's expression was not clear in the darkness; he simply remained silent for a long time.
Fu Xingyi then remembered something and said, "Mom didn't seem to be feeling well at the hotel today. Why don't we go and see her? I'm a little worried."
Hearing his young master say this, the butler on the other side looked at him with great satisfaction. The young master had also learned to care about his wife.
Perhaps this is a good sign.
Perhaps the lady will be able to return to the villa soon.
Fu Shenyuan also recalled Jiang Ranxing's appearance; she did seem to be feeling unwell.
Seeing that his father didn't speak, Fu Xingyi lingered around him for a while longer.
Although Fu Xingyi is very young, he is very good at reading people's expressions.
He seemed to sense that although his father hadn't spoken, his father's meaning wasn't a complete rejection.
Fu Xingyi would be very happy if the three of them could get together.
"Let's go, Dad, let's go see Mom," Fu Xingyi pleaded with Fu Shenyuan again.
Fu Shenyuan nodded slightly: "Get in the car."
"Great! I'll call my mom then."
Fu Xingyi happily climbed back into the back seat of the car, took out his phone, and dialed Jiang Ranxing's number.
Jiang Ranxing had just woken up and was about to get some food to cook noodles when the video call started.
Jiang Ranxing answered the phone: "Yiyi."
The little one on the other end of the phone seemed very happy, with a smile on their face, "Mommy!"
Jiang Ranxing's discomfort was dispelled by Fu Xingyi's sweet and crisp voice.
"Yiyi, you seem so happy! What's so happy you want to tell Mommy?"
Fu Xingyi's emotions infected Jiang Ranxing, and she also felt happy.
Fu Xingyi said, "I'm going to find my mom now. Mom, tell me your address, and the driver will take me there in a bit!"
Jiang Ranxing was somewhat surprised; why would Fu Xingyi suddenly come to find her?
She told the driver the location of her flat in the seaside area.
Upon hearing this, the driver immediately changed direction and prepared to drive towards the coast.
Jiang Ranxing then asked, "Why did Yiyi want to come see her mother today?"
"Mom wasn't feeling well at the hotel today, so I wanted to go see her, okay?"
Fu Xingyi pouted and muttered.
Jiang Ranxing's heart was instantly filled with warmth.
It had been so long since Fu Xingyi had shown such concern for her.
From the time Fu Xingyi became old enough to understand, and after realizing the awkward marital relationship between her and Fu Shenyuan, she stopped liking him.
This sudden concern made her feel flattered and overwhelmed.
My own son has finally learned to care about me.
Jiang Ranxing glanced at the time; it was already very late. She then asked the little person on the phone again.
"Yiyi, have you eaten? Are you hungry? What would you like to eat? Mom will make it for you."
Fu Xingyi patted his stomach; the food he ate at the hotel had mostly been digested.
He seems to be a little hungry right now.
He also started to crave his mother's cooking.
"Hmm... Mom, I want to eat coconut curry chicken! And I also want tofu rice noodles!"
Seeing her son's happy expression, Jiang Ranxing happily agreed.
"Okay, Mommy will make it for Yiyi now. Yiyi, you can get in the car now. Mommy's hanging up now."
Fu Xingyi happily hummed in agreement twice and hung up the phone.
Fu Xingyi shifted slightly, cautiously glancing at Fu Shenyuan a few times.
Fu Shenyuan noticed his gaze and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Fu Xingyi whispered, "Dad, don't you ever talk to Mom?"
In his memory, his father didn't seem to be very close to his mother, but when they were at the villa, Fu Shenyuan would occasionally ask her a few questions.
Recently, Mom hasn't been living in the villa, and Dad doesn't come back often either. He feels that the house isn't quite the same as it used to be.
But he didn't understand why this was happening.
Fu Shenyuan looked down at him but didn't say much.
"Things aren't as you think, just sit still."
Fu Xingyi pursed his lips, not understanding what it meant, so he sat up straight and waited for the driver to take them to his mother.
On the other side, Jiang Ranxing glanced at the time; the member-only fresh food store downstairs should still be open.
She took her keys and phone and went downstairs to buy the ingredients Fu Xingyi wanted to eat.
The members-only fresh food downstairs is almost deserted, yet it's open 24 hours a day. I was quite shocked to see Jiang Ranxing picking out so many vegetables.
"Madam, buying so much will make it spoil easily. We suggest you come more often and buy less."
The prices of the dishes here are prohibitive for most people. The staff felt it was wasteful for Jiang Ranxing to buy so much, and they also hoped that Jiang Ranxing would come more often, which would boost the store's daily revenue.
Jiang Ranxing smiled and said, "It's okay, my son wants to eat it, I'm willing to spend any amount of money on him."
The shop assistant looked at him with envy after hearing this.
"You are so good to your child, you are such a good mother."
Jiang Ranxing smiled without saying a word, clearly enjoying the compliment.
Her life is very simple now.
She no longer seeks perfection in everything, nor does she demand Fu Shenyuan's love or Fu Xingyi's dependence on her.
She just wanted things to be simple, not to talk about certainty or forever, but simply to feel comfortable and at ease in the present moment.
When her son cares about her and wants to visit her and eat her cooking, she should just do it whenever she feels like it.
Don't insist that your son only eats the food you cook.
Don't force anything; keep it simple.
Jiang Ranxing was thinking about this on his way home carrying the groceries.
Even if she and Fu Shenyuan divorce in the future, she can still maintain this kind of contact with Fu Xingyi.
Because no matter what, Fu Xingyi is a piece of her flesh and blood, the child she loves most in the world, and she has no reason to force herself not to love her child.
Thinking this way, Jiang Ranxing felt much more at ease.
Back home, Jiang Ranxing immediately started preparing the ingredients, hoping that Fu Xingyi could have a hot dinner as soon as possible when he arrived.
The driver was also a little surprised when he parked the luxury car at the entrance of the residential area.
The driver checked the destination location again and stopped the car only after confirming that it was correct.
Fu Xingyi was also a little surprised and asked, "Uncle driver, are you sure you didn't take the wrong route? Does Mom really live here?"
Fu Xingyi knew this neighborhood; one of his kindergarten classmates lived here.
He was annoyed by that classmate because that classmate always bragged about how expensive and luxurious his neighborhood was.
The people living in this neighborhood are all very wealthy.
Mom hardly ever spends Dad's money, so where does she get the money to live here?
I didn't expect my mother to live here too.
