Chapter 1589: He Owed Her
It was already dark when she returned to their home in the suburbs. But upon seeing little Tieniu waiting for her by the door, she felt her heart melt and the exhaustion from work being immediately dispelled.
Jing Xi called, “Niuniu!”
Little Tieniu then ran joyfully toward her. “Mommy, you are home!”
“See what mommy has brought you!”
Jing Xi waved the cake box, but little Tieniu had no idea. “Mommy, what is it?”
“It’s a cake!”
“Wow, it must be very delicious!”
Little Tieniu’s eyes sparkled with excitement. He had never tried a cake throughout his life and wondered how it tasted.
“Absolutely! Let’s go home and try it!”
Jing Xi held him in hand and walked to their small room.
Entering the room she opened the box and asked little Tieniu to sit down by the table and enjoy it.
“Don’t mention it! Come on, let’s try your new crutches.”
With Jing Xi’s help, Mo Yutian stood up and tried the crutches.
Jing Xi adjusted the height accordingly and wrapped the top of the crutches with clean towels so that he would feel more comfortable.
With these crutches, Mo Yutian could get rid of the stick and walk easily by himself. He could also help with some housework.
Mo Yutian was very happy about his new crutches. But he did not want to delay her dinner any further. “Xiaoxi, I’m good here. Go make yourself some dinner now.”
“Alright.”
Jing Xi went to the kitchen.
Mo Yutian assumed that Jin Xiaoxi had already gotten used to her new position in the palace and could see the king from time to time.
Therefore he wondered if it might be the time to send Little Apple home.
So he called to little Tieniu. “Niuniu, come to daddy.”
Niuniu got off the chair and asked, with some cream on his lips, “What’s up, daddy?”
Mo Yutian held his little face and helped him wipe off the cream. He asked, “If daddy could find you a better place to live, would you like to go?”
Little Tieniu thought for a few seconds and asked, “Will daddy be there too?”
