Chapter 1727: He Needed Her More

She thought about it for a while, then asked the child, “Hengheng, don’t you guys want Auntie Xiaoxi to send you guys to school too?”

“We do, but Auntie Xiaoxi needs to go to work,” Little Grape said.

“She can take a leave, I’ll allow it.” When it came to letting his people slack off, Huo Yunshen sure didn’t cut corners.

After hearing that, the two children screamed in excitement and asked her to get in the car.

Jing Xi stood at the car door and said to the king, “Your Majesty, I must leave for the company soon or I won’t make it.”

“It’s alright, the children need you.”

He needed her more.

To ease her worries, he said, “I’ll inform my third sister so she won’t count this as skipping work.”

Well...since he put it this way, it would seem too pretentious if Jing Xi rejected his offer again.

She simply thanked him then got in the car and sat with the children.

She scrambled up and hastily breathed out, “Sorry,” before retreating to her spot by the side, keeping a distance from him.

Sigh...

Huo Yunshen sighed inwardly. She had forgotten him. Now she was treating him like the ruler of a kingdom, tiptoeing around him with so much meekness.

She didn’t even know how much it hurt for him to see her like this.

How he longed to embrace her and tell her the pain he endured all these years in her absence. Yet now, he could only watch her sit in front of him, like strangers who once knew each other.

This feeling was about to drive him crazy!

The royal family car pulled up near the door of Kaidi.

Jing Xi thanked him then stepped out of the car. To her surprise, the king slipped on a pair of oversized shades and got out with her.

Oh my God, she thought as she frantically looked around, You are just standing out here in public? Are you not worried that something might happen? She wanted to ask him.

“Don’t you have to go to work? Not leaving?” He peered at her through his shades.

Her eyes filled with confusion and panic. “Your Majesty, I’m going to work, but what are you doing?”

She noticed that his royal majesty seemed to be behaving differently from usual. Wasn’t there a guest coming today? He left the guest in the hotel and instead came downtown to observe the mood of the people?

“I’m meeting my sister for something.”
