Time had changed everything. From now on, she could only be Chen Xi, she would never be Duan Wenzhuo again.
If inner peace could be counted as the only thing she could be proud of, then she was quite proud of herself. In the past few years, she had designed the jewelry very well and had a bit of a reputation for it.
When she went out, she found that the entire castle was shrouded in the sunset. It was mysterious and comfortable.
Chen Xi turned her head and saw her cute and handsome son. She couldn't help but have a gentle expression on her face.
"Tony, have you finished practicing?" Chen Xi asked with a smile.
"Yes, I'm looking for you because the Uncle Han is here. Tony looked calm.
Chen Xi was suspicious.
"Uncle Han? Why is he here? " Chen Xi muttered to herself.
"I don't know about that. Anyway, I've already said it. It's your business whether I go or not." Tony said calmly.
"Alright, I understand. You can go and play." Chen Xi laughed.
Tony nodded. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she couldn't help but turn around and say something.
"Mummy, if you want to choose Uncle Han as my father, I have no objections. In my opinion, Han Hao should be a good person and should be worthy to be my father."
Originally, when Chen Xi heard his words, she was a little angry, but after hearing the last sentence, she could not help but be amused.
"How do you know he's a good man?"
Tony seemed to think for a moment.
"Because he gave me a lot of toys and also bought me a lot of food." Tony said seriously.
Chen Xi laughed.
"You were bribed with just that little bit."
He suddenly lowered his head and said.
"That's because he treats Mummy very well. Tony hopes that Mummy can be happy everyday."
After Chen Xi heard this, he suddenly could not laugh anymore. He did not know who this child really looked like, but he would always say things that did not fit his age.
Looking at the fact that Tony had the same facial features as him, the same temperament, and the same aloof look, she felt a hundred different emotions in her heart.
"Tony, who told you that Mummy is unhappy?" Chen Xi squatted in front of him and asked gently.
"No one told me. I just knew." Tony said, looking up.
Chen Xi felt a little sad in his heart. Could it be that he had taken too little care of him in the past? That's why I asked him to say something like that.
"Tony, I'm sorry. Mummy will definitely accompany you more in the future, okay?" Chen Xi said emotionally.
However, Tony's words made her want to kill him, just like she didn't say anything.
"No, youth is not common. You should hurry up and date." Tony said in his childish voice.
Chen Xi was petrified on the spot, and only after a while did she manage to find her voice.
"Child, who did you learn to speak nonsense. You are not allowed to speak of it in the future, and besides, Mummy is not young anymore, you don't need to be in a relationship, you are my little lover." Chen Xi said as he reached out to pinch his soft little face.
"Who said that she wouldn't be young? She should be a young girl." Suddenly, a voice came from behind him. It was a warm, smiling voice.
Chen Xi turned to look and she laughed. It was Chen Yiran and his good friend Han Hao.
"Han Hao, you're here." Chen Xi laughed.
"Yeah, I just happened to hear that Ah Ran is back today, so I came to see him and also came to see you and Tony." The man called Han Hao said with a smile.
"Is that so? I think you must be drinking. " Chen Yiran coldly ridiculed.
Chen Xi replied awkwardly.
"Let's go in and take a seat."
Han Hao smiled and nodded.
"Fine, I really have something to talk to you about." Han Hao said as he looked at Duan Chen Xi.
On the balcony, the three of them sat facing each other. The smell of coffee and dessert wafted from the table.
"Try this coffee. I just brought it back from Brazil." Han Hao said with a smile as he pushed the coffee cup on the table towards Xi Lin.
"What is it? "Don't you want to buy me a drink?" Chen Yiran said in a sour tone.
Han Hao smiled, and said.
"Okay, then give me back the can of coffee I gave you." Han Hao said.
Chen Yiran laughed, with a happy expression.
Han Hao was a good friend of Chen Yiran's, but he did not go together with him. Han Hao had lived in France with his parents since young, so they had gotten to know each other since a very young age.
The Han family and the Chen family were both in the business world. Although they were not as wealthy as the Chen family, they could still be considered famous families in France.
The first time Han Hao saw her, she didn't really like her, and thought that she had some motive to get close to the Chen family. But later on, she was slowly moved by Chen Xi, a weak and delicate girl, actually had to endure so many things.
At the beginning, he was really just feeling sympathy, but later on, his sight became more and more unable to leave her and his feelings for her became better and better. When he finally understood what was going on, he found out that he was hopelessly in love with her.
Every movement, every look, seemed to move his heart, but he never showed it, but he thought, smart as she is, she must know what he's thinking.
She had never told him who she was, or who Tony's father was, and he knew that there must be a deep ache in her heart, and that no matter how curious he was about her life, he didn't want to tear her up again.
It was just her he liked, nothing to do with anything else.
"Ah Hao, I heard that you're returning back to your country?" Chen Yiran suddenly asked.
Chen Xi looked at Han Hao doubtfully.
"You want to return home, why haven't I heard you mention it before?" Chen Xi asked curiously.
Han Hao smiled and said.
"Yes, my father wanted to expand the market in China, so he sent me back to be the vanguard." Han Hao said.
"Your family's old man wants to open up a market in China? So I really can't bear to send you to take the lead? " Chen Yiran said.
"Do you think I'm an easy CEO?" Han Hao said.
"Okay, I don't know anything about your business. However, if you need anything, feel free to speak your mind. Although I might not be able to help you, I will definitely laugh at you." Chen Yiran joked venomously.
"Alright, I definitely won't give you the chance to mock me." Han Hao laughed.
Seeing the two of them bickering, Chen Xi's thoughts flew off to the side. Han Hao said that he wanted to return to China, yes, she was also considering whether or not he should go back.
However, there was always a shadow in her heart. It wasn't that she was escaping, but rather that she didn't want to meet so many old people. However, she couldn't swallow this anger.
"Brook, what are you thinking about?" Han Hao looked at the dazed Chen Xi and asked.
"Nothing much, but you said that you have something to discuss with me. What is it?" Chen Xi changed the topic and asked.
"Oh yeah, actually, I came here today to discuss it with you guys. I want you guys to come back with me." Han Hao said as he looked at them.
"Us? Me and Xi Xi? " Chen Yiran was surprised.
"Why?" Chen Xi asked.
Han Hao thought about it but still said.
"Ah Ran, actually, I know that you have been searching for her for all these years. A while ago, I found out that she might be in China, and that is the reason I gave you." Han Hao said as he looked at him.
As expected, Chen Yiran's expression changed. The lines on his face were distinct, but at this moment, they were filled with a frosty color.
"What did you say?"
I know that you heard it, Ah Ran. Although you pretended to not care on the surface all these years, I know that in your heart, you have always been holding grudges, guilt and regret. I also know that you have been searching for her everywhere in this world, so I've always been helping you ask around. Han Hao said softly.
Chen Yiran said after a moment of silence.
"Is the news reliable?"
"Although I can't be 100% sure, but at least there's a sliver of hope. As long as there's a chance, you won't give it up, right?" Han Hao said.
"All these years, I've been disappointed too many times. I'm not afraid of doing it again. Alright, I'll go with you." Chen Yiran said indifferently.
"Go, then there will be hope and opportunity." Chen Xi could not hold back and laughed.
Chen Xi knew that there was a girl in the country waiting for him. He wondered how that foolish girl was doing. Was she that naive to wonder how her child was?
thought about it and couldn't help but laugh. Right now, she should only be that foolish girl, and should be worth her concern, right? Every time she saw Chen Yiran, she would really want to tell him but she didn't dare to.
"Xi Xi, what did you say?" Chen Yiran asked.
"Nothing, just one more hope, right?" Chen Xi replied.
Chen Yiran nodded.
"Brook, I remember last time you told me that you wanted to go back home. This time, I want to take you and Tony back with me. Do you want to go back?" Han Hao asked.
Chen Xi suddenly hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to go back. Tony is still young, after all. Can you tell me when he's older or if you want to go back?" Han Hao said indifferently.
