Chapter 1151: The Inescapable Bond of Blood
Walking over to open the door, Zhang Minyi stood at the entrance. Seeing her, Beichen Rui was momentarily stunned.
He didn’t speak immediately.
Zhang Minyi originally thought the person opening the door would be a servant, but she didn’t expect it to be him. After collecting her thoughts, she said, "I’m here to see Xinluo. Can I come in and sit for a bit?"
Beichen Rui didn’t say anything. After a while, he stepped aside.
Due to her status, it wouldn’t be appropriate to block her at the door.
Entering the living room, she looked around but didn’t see Ye Xinluo. Thinking she might be resting in her room, she said to Beichen Rui, "I cooked a pot of soup and was planning to give it to her myself. But thinking about it, Xinluo probably doesn’t want to see me. Could I trouble you to give this to her?"
...Looking at the thermal food container she held, he lightly pressed his lips and finally extended his hand to take it.
Seeing this, Zhang Minyi smiled, "It’s better not to tell her I made it, otherwise Xinluo won’t drink it. Since she’s resting, I have nothing else to do, so I’ll leave first."
Just as the words left her mouth, Beichen Rui’s phone rang again. He took it out and looked at the name on the screen, slightly furrowing his brow.
"Hello..."
"Boss, can you come? Give me a definite answer!"
"Tong Ma is not here, and Xinluo has no one to take care of her," Beichen Rui said without hesitation.
"Alright, then can I come to your place?"
Just as Xu Kun finished speaking, Zhang Minyi, standing aside, chimed in, "Do you have work to do? If so, you can go and take care of it. I can take care of Xinluo..."
After speaking, she realized it might not be a good idea. Xinluo didn’t want to see her, so wouldn’t this annoy her?
However, she still hoped to spend more time with her, so regardless of whether Xinluo wanted to see her, she said it anyway.
"Boss, who’s the person talking on your side?"
Xu Kun’s voice came through again, breaking Beichen Rui’s reverie. "You don’t need to come. I’m heading to the company," he replied.
"Alright, I’ll wait for you at the company."
After hanging up the call, he looked at the woman he once respectfully referred to as "mother-in-law" and called a maid, "There’s soup in the kitchen. Once it’s done, bring it up to Xinluo."
After giving instructions, he turned back to Zhang Minyi, pursed his lips, and after a moment said, "You... can stay here, but don’t let Xinluo see you."
Beichen Rui wasn’t quite sure why he agreed. He knew Xinluo’s nature too well. Despite her indifferent appearance, it was a mere grudge against the Ling Family for not reaching out to her for so many years. He understood better than anyone that deep down, Xinluo yearned for family, though she wasn’t willing to admit it yet.
Moreover, given their ties, even if Ye Xinluo didn’t acknowledge it, the bond of blood couldn’t be severed, just like back then. Despite not particularly liking kids, he still took care of Jingxi himself.
One can’t help but care and be concerned...
So, that’s all he could do.
As for how the situation would develop, they would have to leave it up to fate...
Zhang Minyi didn’t expect he would agree. Filled with emotions, her eyes slightly reddened, "Alright, I won’t go upstairs. I’ll just stay in the living room."
As long as she could be in the same place as her daughter, even if she had to avoid her, it didn’t matter...
Beichen Rui nodded lightly and went to the kitchen to bring some fruit to the room.
Ye Xinluo had just finished feeding the little one. Seeing him come in, she couldn’t help but complain, "Weren’t you just going to grab some fruit? Why did it take so long?"
"I took a call midway."
