After a long while, Xiao Jingyan shook his messy thoughts, lightly sighed, and said: "Then how did you reject him in the end?"

"I said I was pregnant." Xia Yun looked at Xiao Jingyan and laughed bitterly, "The child is yours."

Xiao Jingyan was startled, the two of them looked at each other without saying a word.

The two of them looked at each other in dismay until the dishes were served.

Finally, Xiao Jingyan shook his head and laughed: "Xia Yun, you don't know how much I want that child to be mine."

Xia Yun lowered her head and did not say a word.

After accompanying her for such a long time, she naturally knew of Xiao Jingyan's love for her. However, regarding the matter of love, she had only seen a kind of feeling.

If Xiao Jingyan had appeared before Lu Fengting, perhaps the person she loved would have changed. But if it was after all, only if, in her heart, Xiao Jingyan was an existence that he could rely on like a big brother.

There was another brief silence.

The dishes had already been served.

"Xia Yun, do you still remember our first meal in the small town?" Xiao Jingyan looked at the dishes on the table, a look of reminiscence flashed past his blue eyes: "You asked me what I want to eat, I said, since we're at the seaside, let's eat seafood soup."

Xia Yun smiled and said embarrassedly: "Do you still remember?"

She had been cooking it since young, but when she came into contact with it, it was common for her to come into contact with it. Due to the conditions, she had never tried to come in contact with the seafood dishes before.

When Xiao Jingyan returned, he did not know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Fortunately, the cooked seafood is edible, so stop drinking the soup."

Xiao Jingyan pointed to one of the two soups on the table that looked really good and said gently, "Xia Yun, this is the seafood soup. Try it."

Xia Yun picked up the spoon and took a sip.

"It tastes great."

"Yes." Xia Yun nodded.

Seeing Xia Yun's satisfied expression, Xiao Jingyan also laughed happily.

"Thank you."

Xia Yun said with a smile.

She knew that the reason why Xiao Jingyan chose this place was definitely because the seafood soup here was the best.

"You're welcome." Xiao Jingyan laughed: "If it's good, then drink more."

Xia Yun drank two small bowls in a row before stopping. She pursed her red lips in satisfaction and laughed, "I'll ask the chef how to make this dish later. I'll go back to practice, I owe you a bowl of seafood soup.

A hint of loneliness flashed through Xiao Jingyan's blue eyes. He shook his head slightly and said, "There's no need. I think that since you've finished your training, it's time for me to leave as well."

"Leave?"

Xia Yun was startled, "Where are you going? Are you on a business trip? "

"Travel on business... "I guess so." Xiao Jingyan said with a helpless tone, "It's just that this trip was a long one."

"How far is it?"

"Africa."

"Africa? "Then how long will you be gone?"

"I don't know how long it'll be, but it's very likely that I'll stay there forever." Xiao Jingyan lowered his tone, trying to make this matter sound as relaxed as possible.

Not coming back?

Xia Yun frowned, her expression serious. After staring blankly for a while, she asked: "Why is it like this?"

Xiao Jingyan purposely laughed out loud, "Group development strategy."

Xia Yun lowered her head and did not speak.

Her heart felt very uncomfortable. If one were to say that the feeling she had towards Lu Fengting was love that was hard to part with, then towards Xiao Jingyan's departure, it was like having a family that she could not let go.

Xiao Jingyan raised his hand and lightly patted Xia Yun's head, and instructed him: "This may be our last meal, be more cheerful."

How could Xia Yun smile? The meal ended in such a depressing atmosphere.

On the way back, Xia Yun looked out the window, her eyes red, and asked: "Do you have to go?"

"Yes."

Xiao Jingyan replied, as he killed Xia Yun's last shred of hope.

"Drive slower."

"Do you feel dizzy?" Xiao Jingyan asked. He thought it was Xia Yun's vomiting during her pregnancy.

"Slow down, I can stay with you for a bit longer." Xia Yun closed her eyes.

Xiao Jingyan turned his head to look at the sorrowful expression on Xia Yun's face, and the look in her blue eyes also became sorrowful.

Finally, the car reached its destination and stopped in front of the forest gate.

Xiao Jingyan squeezed out a smile: "From now on, I can't be by your side anymore. Remember to take care of myself, understand?"

"Mm, got it."

With that said, Xia Yun immediately got out of the car.

She really couldn't take it anymore. If she continued to stay in the car, she would really suffocate.

Xiao Jingyan watched Xia Yun's back from the carriage, all the way until her back completely disappeared from his sight, he muttered softly: "Goodbye, Xia Yun!" Then he stepped on the accelerator and the tires left sad marks on the mountain road.

Xiao Family.

On the balcony.

Dong Huifang paced on the balcony, fiddling with the precious bonsai.

She liked the sunlight, the beautiful flowers and the exquisite bonsai. Originally, she had wanted to make a larger flower bed at home and then place some flowers and plants in the house so that the room wouldn't be as lifeless and depressing.

When Dong Huifang had just entered the Xiao Family, she had once especially placed a vase on Xiao Tianya's desk. She wanted to give Xiao Tianya a surprise when she returned.

As a result, when Xiao Tianya came back to see this scene, he was enraged, because a petal had fallen on top of the antique inkstone.

Because of this, not only did Xiao Tianya curse loudly at Dong Huifang, he also smashed all of her carefully nurtured flowers and bonsai in front of Dong Huifang.

From then on, Dong Huifang only played with her flowers on a small balcony. For such a large Xiao Family, to not have a place of her own hobby, this was an eternal pain in Dong Huifang's heart.

The balcony door slowly opened and a person walked in.

"I'm back." Dong Huifang put down the scissors in her hands. She did not turn around, she knew that other than Xiao Fengzhi, no one would come in to clean this balcony. Even the servants would not come in because of Xiao Tianya.

"Mom, Xiao Jingyan brought the young miss out for a meal, he just brought her back." Xiao Fengzhi's tone was a little heavy.

He thought that he could use Lin Zhi's lost daughter to thoroughly suppress him. He never thought that Xiao Tianya would actually let out the condition of a marriage proposal.

If Xiao Jingyan really married Lin Zhi's daughter, it would be equivalent to marrying into the Lin Family, let alone the future Xiao Family.

"Did you find anything?" Compared to Xiao Fengzhi's heaviness, Dong Huifang's tone was a lot more relaxed, and had a calmness that wasn't the slightest bit flustered before the arrival of the great enemy.

"Nope."

Xiao Fengzhi sighed: "The Lin Clan values this lost and only child very much. There are more than ten cars beside the door, and even the dining hall is being cleared, our people are unable to get close."

"Oh, of course." Dong Huifang said indifferently. She had already expected something like this.

The Lin Family was not a nouveau riche, and Lin Zhi was an experienced veteran of battlefields, so the word "guard" was already very clear in his mind.
