Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Son, it’s almost the Mid-Autumn Festival. Do you think we should contact Gu Xiao?”

Jiang He sat at the dining table, looking down at the rich food on the table, and suggested to Ji Chen tentatively.

Hearing this, Ji Chen, who was eating seriously, paused for a moment. Then, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Jiang He opposite him seriously.

“Mom, what do you mean?”

Jiang He still lowered her head, as if there was something at the dining table that attracted her.

“I, I just thought that Gu Xiao is your sister after all. It’s better for us to live as a family during the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

Ever since she divorced Ji Gao and moved out alone, she finally felt a little lonely. It was not a good feeling to be alone.

After such a long time, she finally had time to recall her relationship with Gu Xiao.

Only then did she truly feel that she had let Gu Xiao down. She seemed to have done many things that she should not have done to Gu Xiao.

Especially not long ago, she had used an even calmer mentality to read some comments online.

Those comments had actually been going on for a long, long time. It was not too easy to find them. In fact, it was a little difficult.

However, now that her company had closed down and she had divorced Ji Gao, she was really too bored. Hence, after seeing Gu Xiao’s news online, she remembered to go and take a look at the things that had happened between her and Gu Xiao previously.

It was unknown if it was because Ji Yao had already left her life and had become more distant from her, or if it was because Ji Gao had already exhausted too much of her energy, but she was no longer as crazy as before when she was faced with Ji Yao.

Yes, madness…

Perhaps her love for Ji Yao had already begun to waver when Ji Yao left and did not show any more concern for her. Instead, Ji Yao kept wanting her to help bring her out of the countryside.

Hence, when she saw the news online and how she had treated Ji Yao and Gu Xiao differently previously, she could only describe herself as crazy.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, coupled with the fact that she would sometimes go out for a walk and see some cute and obedient daughters, she suddenly thought of Gu Xiao.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Gu Xiao was alone outside, so she definitely hoped to have a family, right? Then, it was not impossible for her to give Gu Xiao a family.

Ji Chen looked at Jiang He opposite him and did not really want to know her current mental journey. However, he knew that Jiang He would not be able to get a satisfactory reply to this thought.

He looked at Jiang He seriously and said in a stern tone, “Mother, don’t think too much about this matter. Xiaoxiao won’t come over. It’s better for you to give up on this idea.”

Hearing Ji Chen’s words, Jiang He looked up at Ji Chen in disbelief.

Her eyes widened, and her lips moved a few times. “Chen’er, how, how can you speak to me in such a tone?”

Ji Chen did not care about Jiang He’s reaction. His expression was as indifferent as before, as if the Jiang He opposite him was not someone worthy of his concern.

“I just want to dispel your thoughts. Mom, I knowXiaoxiao’s personality. She won’t come back to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with us.”

If, if it was only him, then he could still be shameless enough to think that Gu Xiao might be willing to spend the holidays with him. However, if Jiang He was included, then he could only get a 100% rejection.

Especially after that dream.

Ji Chen thought of the intermittent dreams he had for the past few days, and his hands by his side could not help but tremble slightly.

He took a few deep breaths and barely suppressed the chill in his heart.

Because he was recalling those bad dreams, the way he looked at Jiang He became colder and colder.

“Mom, I’ll accompany you during the Mid-Autumn Festival. As for Xiaoxiao, just pretend that you have never had a daughter, just like before.”

He knew that Jiang He loved him, so after Jiang He divorced Ji Gao and moved out, he would come over to visit Jiang He when he was free.

However, he could not make the decision for Gu Xiao. Or rather, he did not wish for Gu Xiao and Jiang He to be entangled for a longer time..
