Chapter 145 Tuanbao is her son
The late autumn wind brought a chill.
Jiang Xu's hair fluttered in the wind, and under the bright car lights, her face looked a little pale in the night.
The moment their eyes met.
The trembling pupils of the two people clearly reflected each other's astonished expressions.
After a long silence.
The police officer spoke first: "Mr. He, we need to take this lady back to investigate."
He Yanting seemed to have finally come back to his senses. His eyes were fixed on Jiang Xu's face, then he looked at the policeman and moved his lips.
I didn’t know how to explain it for a moment.
Suddenly, a milky voice came from the car:
"Dad, why are you here?"
Tuanbao sat up from the back seat, rubbed his sleepy eyes, then got out of the car and went straight to He Yanting.
He Yanting glanced at the child and then looked at Jiang Xu again.
She looked at the child and her face became paler and paler.
"Aunt Jiang."
Tuanbao looked at He Yanting holding Jiang Xu's hand and said, "This is my dad."
Jiang Xu's eyelashes fluttered a few times. She slowly squatted down, grabbed Tuanbao's shoulders, and asked, "Tuanbao, what's your name?"
Her tone was calm, but trembling.
Tuanbao tilted his head and looked at He Yanting cautiously.
After He Yanting nodded at him, he spoke:
"My name is He Linxi, which means 'Xi' in morning light. My father said I was born in the morning, when the first rays of morning light just illuminated the earth."
The color on Jiang Xu's face faded away in an instant.
At the same time, his eyes became red and tears fell uncontrollably.
Tuanbao was a little panicked, "Why are you crying?"
He looked at He Yanting in confusion, then at Jiang Xu, and raised his hand to wipe her tears.
Jiang Xu realized that she had lost her composure and wiped away her tears: "I'm fine."
She stood up, but felt dizzy. Just as she was about to lose her balance, a hand supported her lower back to help her steady herself.
He Yanting said in a deep voice: "Tuanbao, go back to the car first. I have something to say to her."
Tuanbao pouted, not understanding what was going on.
Gao Cheng came over and said, "Young Master, let's go back to the car first."
After taking Tuanbao away, He Yanting gently pulled Jiang Xu into his arms and patted her on the back: "Don't cry, our son is fine."
After he said that, Jiang Xu's emotions became even more out of control.
She leaned on He Yanting's shoulder, tears streaming down her face, but she didn't dare to make a sound.
He Yanting looked down at the woman in his arms.
She just cried silently, occasionally choking with sobs, and her body kept shaking.
My heart suddenly ached.
He hugged her tighter and whispered softly in her ear, "Ruanruan, don't cry, your son is watching you."
Jiang Xu didn't want to cry, but inexplicable emotions came flooding in.
The child I haven't seen for four years turned out to be Tuanbao.
No wonder she always felt inexplicably close to him.
Her little Linxi, who was just a baby in swaddling clothes back then, has grown up so much now and can already wipe her tears.
The police officer next to him urged: "Mr. He..."
"Shh-"
He Yanting raised his index finger, signaling them to wait.
Afterwards, he asked all the cars to turn off their lights and kept comforting Jiang Xu.
"Be good, don't cry."
"Ruanruan, our Linxi is very good."
"Ruanbao is crying like a kitten."
"I'm sorry I scared you. It's my fault. I apologize."
Twenty minutes later, she managed to calm down and let out a long breath.
He Yanting handed her a tissue and asked her to wipe her face clean.
The policeman probably saw some misunderstanding, sighed, and said to He Yanting and Jiang Xu, "Go to the police station and make a statement."
He Yanting asked Gao Cheng to send Tuanbao home first.
He and Jiang Xu went to the police station.
After explaining that it was all a misunderstanding, the two took their statements and left.
After leaving the police station, He Yanting grabbed Jiang Xu's hand and said, "I've asked someone to drive your car back to where you live. You can take my car."
Jiang Xu was still confused and had no idea that He Yanting knew exactly where she lived.
She stared at He Yanting blankly.
He Yanting asked, "Don't you want to see Tuanbao again?"
Jiang Xu lowered his eyes. He still hadn't fully digested the fact that Tuanbao was his biological son.
In the end, she got into He Yanting's car.
The car started slowly. Jiang Xu clasped his hands together, lowered his head and said nothing.
He Yanting looked at her from time to time and then held her hand.
Her hands were as cold as ice. He Yanting frowned, held them tighter, and warmed her hands little by little with the warmth of his palms.
Soon, they arrived at the familiar Dihua Mansion.
Jiang Xu didn't expect that He Yanting still lived here.
When I opened the door, the furnishings inside were exactly the same as they were four years ago, even the position of a vase hadn't changed.
Aunt Lin heard the noise and walked out of the nanny's room. When she saw Jiang Xu, she was stunned.
She has been here for almost three years, and this is the first time she has seen Mr. He bring a woman back.
But after all, it was the host's private matter, and she had no right to interfere. She politely called out, "Mr. He, Miss Jiang."
He Yanting asked, "How is Tuanbao?"
"Just went to bed."
Aunt Lin looked at Jiang Xu and said, "He kept asking about Miss Jiang's situation. It took a lot of effort to coax her to sleep."
"Um."
He Yanting nodded slightly and went upstairs holding Jiang Xu's hand.
"This is his room."
He took Jiang Xu to the room next to the master bedroom.
The door was slightly ajar. He Yanting pushed it halfway open. Under the dim and soft light, Tuanbao was sleeping soundly on the small bed, holding the teddy bear in his arms.
Jiang Xu leaned forward slightly and looked inside over He Yanting.
Even my breathing was very gentle, for fear of disturbing the child.
The room is warmly decorated, with cartoons painted on the light blue walls, a transparent cabinet for toy collection on the window side, and some building blocks scattered on the floor.
He Yanting looked at the woman in front of him. Her profile was so close to him that he could easily kiss her if he just lowered his head.
"How about waking him up?"
"No, let him sleep."
Jiang Xu stepped back and turned away.
He Yanting grabbed her arm and asked, "Do you want to see some of his photos from the past few years?"
Jiang Xu paused in his steps as he was leaving.
She really couldn't refuse.
Following He Yanting to the master bedroom, the furnishings here were the same as four years ago, even the style of the sheets and quilt covers had not changed. Her pink silk pillow quietly occupied half of the bed.
"Sit down."
He Yanting pointed to the sofa.
Standing here again, Jiang Xu was a little dazed. She sat down on the sofa.
He Yanting took out two thick photo albums from the locker. "From his birth to one month old, a hundred days old, and until now, the photos of every stage are all here."
Jiang Xu took the photo album, spread it out on his legs, and flipped through the pages one by one.
The first picture on the first page that caught my eye was her in the confinement center, where she had just given birth and was holding her baby and feeding him.
Jiang Xu's throat felt slightly dry and he continued to turn back.
When Tuanbao was one month old, a small celebration banquet was held at home. She wore a light pink sweater and held the baby, and He Yanting put his arm around her shoulders.
In the photo, He Yanting is very happy, and his deep black eyes cannot hide his joy.
Her smile faded a lot, only the corners of her mouth pretended to rise, and her eyes were indifferent.
After that, there was no her.
Tuanbao has grown up a little, looking at the camera innocently, his eyebrows and eyes have grown a lot, and he is much prettier than a few months ago.
He Yanting sat on the floor and hugged him.
The child was holding a toy with a smile on his face, but there was no trace of a smile on He Yanting's handsome face, only a hint of tenderness in the corners of his eyes.
Turn over again and Tuanbao will be able to walk.
He was wearing thick plush clothes and a plush hat, walking in the snow, showing an innocent smile to the camera, and the little milk teeth in his mouth were particularly eye-catching.
A hand is revealed in the upper right corner of the photo, with long and beautiful fingers, which is obviously He Yanting's hand.
Jiang Xu continued to flip backwards.
With every few pages, Tuanbao will grow up significantly.
Soon, four years passed.
He grew from a wrinkled little ball into a handsome boy with delicate features, but the smile on his face became less and less.
Jiang Xu had helped other people take care of children before, so she knew that these four years would not just pass by in a flash, but would require tremendous effort every day to take care of him.
After turning the last page, she gently closed the album.
He Yanting, who had been silent the whole time, spoke softly, "I took these photos so that one day when you come back, I can let you see how Tuanbao has grown up."
Jiang Xu pursed her lips and looked up at him: "You have worked hard these past few years."
He Yanting was stunned for a moment.
It seemed as if he hadn't expected her to say that.
Then he was delighted and held Jiang Xu's hand: "Ruanruan."
Facing the heat in his eyes, Jiang Xu wanted to pull her hand back, but He Yanting held it even tighter. He became more and more excessive, pressing forward and pushing Jiang Xu backward.
Finally, she fell back onto the armrest of the sofa.
He Yanting's slender fingers gently lifted the hair from her forehead, his black eyes looked into hers intently, his tone full of meaning.
"I've worked so hard. As a mother, won't you reward me?"
