"Fine."
Xia Yun smiled and put the necklace back.
"Cough, cough."
Steward Lin walked over and blinked his eyes. "Miss, you haven't had breakfast yet."
Xia Yun looked at the time, it was almost 11 o'clock, so she said to Liu Kai: "What do you want to eat in the afternoon? I'll treat you! "
Liu Kai raised his eyebrows, and said: "I'm fine with anything, just pick something expensive and delicious and it'll be fine."
Xia Yun smiled and said: "Alright."
"Ahem, Miss." Steward Lin listened to him, and coughed twice.
Hearing that, Xia Yun suddenly remembered that Steward Lin still had a cross head.
In the end, under Xia Yun's request, the Steward Lin agreed to let her go out, but to follow three carriages and ten bodyguards, Xia Yun had no choice but to agree.
Under Xia Yun's instructions, the driver arrived at Tiandu's most famous hotpot restaurant. When the manager heard that the young miss of the Lin Family had come, he immediately arranged a good private room.
Xia Yun made the bodyguards guard outside the door.
After sitting down, Liu Kai could not help but tease: "Young miss Lin, you are really something. You have so many cars and so many bodyguards."
Xia Yun said with a bitter face: "Enough, don't tease me, I'm about to die from annoyance."
Liu Kai laughed, and said: "These few years, Tiandu City's several large clans all happened to meet an alternation between the new and the old. It was already chaotic, and if you were to get involved, it would definitely be even more chaotic.
Xia Yun sighed and said: "I hope so. I don't want to be watched every day. "
As he said that, the waiter walked in and respectfully said: "Miss Lin, may I ask what kind of pot you would like?"
"I want a clear soup." Xia Yun pursed her lips, saying, she is currently pregnant, so she cannot be spicy, "Give him the spiciest one."
Liu Kai could eat spicy food, but she still remembered the spicy hotpot in the summer days.
"I want some clear soup too."
Liu Kai laughed, and said.
Xia Yun looked at her emaciated face, and was stunned for a moment.
Seeing her shocked expression, Liu Kai said casually: "I've been on fire recently, please calm down."
"Oh."
Xia Yun lowered her head and started to order, she specifically ordered a lot of meat.
"I had originally thought that you all were still in the second tier city, so I went to Lu Fengting's villa the moment I got off the plane yesterday morning." Liu Kai picked up a piece of washed mutton and placed it in a bowl, but didn't have the intention to eat it, and instead said: "I saw Qian Feng, and he told me everything."
"Xia Yun, to be honest, after hearing it, I'm not shocked at all. This layer of window paper will eventually break. It's just a matter of time." Liu Kai stared at Xia Yun, and said: "Yes, I have always known your true life."
Xia Yun lowered her head and did not say a word.
She had guessed it, she had guessed that Liu Kai knew everything, but she did not ask, because she did not want to know if her guess was right.
"I'm sorry."
Liu Kai apologized: "I didn't tell you these back then."
Xia Yun still lowered her head in silence.
She didn't blame Liu Kai, but she didn't know what she should reply to either.
"I went to the villa to look at Xiao Ning."
Hearing the two words "Xiao Ning", Xia Yun's body visibly stiffened.
After a brief moment of silence, Xia Yun asked: "How is Xiao Ning?"
In Xia Yun's heart, he had long ago treated Xiao Ning as his own child.
"Not good."
Liu Kai said honestly: "Ever since you left, Xiao Ning rarely goes to kindergarten and recently, he has completely stopped going. He locks himself in his bedroom everyday and doesn't go out at all."
"How could this be?" Xia Yun was shocked and distressed at the same time. Any parent would feel sorry for their child in such a state.
"He's guilty."
Liu Kai sighed: "He thinks he has hurt you. In this way, he could be considered to be metaphorically punishing himself. Back then, when Lu Fengting went to the villa to tell him everything about Xiao Ning's mother, you can imagine how much of an impact it had on a child! "
"Under those circumstances, he would definitely choose Lu Fengting."
"I know."
Xia Yun said softly, "I don't blame Xiao Ning."
At that time, Lu Zhining had truly hurt Xia Yun's heart when he chose Lu Fengting. But as time passed, Xia Yun had long understood Lu Zhining's choice, so how could she blame a child who was still in the kindergarten?
"Xia Yun, now that you know about the background of the Xiao Ning, and his biological father is actually …"
"Stop talking."
Xia Yun interrupted Liu Kai: "In my heart, Xiao Ning will always be my son."
No matter who Lu Zhining's biological mother was, no matter what kind of relationship Lu Zhining's biological father had with her, in her heart, Lu Zhining was still Lu Fengting's son, and also her son!
Liu Kai was startled for a moment, and then immediately smiled.
Sensing that Xia Yun's attitude had loosened, Liu Kai continued to strike while the iron was hot: "Then what about Lu Fengting? Do you still love him? "
Although Xia Yun knew that he would definitely bring up Lu Fengting, when she actually brought up this topic, her heart couldn't help but constrict.
The atmosphere had turned silent, and in the luxurious private room, only the sound of boiling soup could be heard.
Liu Kai did not continue the line of questioning. Instead, he silently waited for Xia Yun's declaration.
A few minutes later.
Xia Yun slowly spoke out, "I love him. Even though I really want to deny it, I have to admit that I still love him, even more than I loved him before."
When she had initially chosen to leave, she had thought that time would obliterate everything, and let all of them zero down to start over. However, Xia Yun did not expect that as time passed, the imprint she had of Lu Fengting in her mind would become deeper and deeper, especially when she returned to the Lin Family. When she truly saw Lu Fengting, her feelings and love for him did not decrease at all.
It was only now that Xia Yun realized that not everything could be smoothed over by time. Those emotions which were already deep within the marrow of one's blood, simply disregarded the cleansing of time.
"In that case, why can't you obey your own heart?" Liu Kai asked. Since he loved her so deeply, why didn't he give her a chance?
Xia Yun sighed, her clear eyes looking out of the window, she stared blankly, then said: "Liu Kai, after you left, there were many things that happened, many things, I loved him, but my love was very tired, very tired."
"Is it because of the rumors regarding Lu Fengting and Stanny?" Liu Kai asked.
Xia Yun did not answer.
Liu Kai slowly said: "The moment I left, Lu Fengting went on a business trip to Europe, don't you think that's such a coincidence?"
Xia Yun was startled, and shook her head.
There was no problem with the reason for launching new products in the European market, she had never doubted it.
"Xia Yun, actually, Lu Fengting went to Europe not for some new product to go on the market, but to help me."
"Help you?"
"Right."
Liu Kai laughed bitterly: "The Liu family has gotten into more trouble than anyone could ever have imagined. The problems that have happened over the years are like tightly intertwined chains, one was dug out while the other was dug out because of the chain reaction."
