468 The Secret About the Past 86 (2/2)
Jin Yiheng stood rooted and watched as she vanished from his sight. He then returned home in low spirits.
”Daddy, what time is Mommy coming home?”
”Soon. What's the matter with you?” Jin Qingyan asked, noticing that he was hanging his head low.
”Daddy, Xiaoxi doesn't want to play with me anymore. I think she's angry because I often play with Yuechan. How do I make her happy again?”
”You may give her some flowers.”
Shaking his head, Jin Yiheng said, ”I've done that a lot of times before.”
”You may give her a gift too, like a pretty hairclip or other toys.”
Finding his father's suggestion to be a good idea, Jin Yiheng immediately asked Fan Shixin to bring him out to buy some hair accessories.
He meticulously picked out the best-looking hair clip and brought it to Long Xiaoxi's house.
”Godma, where's Xiaoxi?”
”She's reading some comics upstairs.”
He skipped upstairs excitedly, eager to see Long Xiaoxi's reaction, thinking that she would be elated to receive the gift from him.
He pushed the door open and greeted her smilingly, ”Xiaoxi.”
Long Xiaoxi shot him a glance before looking away.
Noticing that she was still reluctant to talk to him, Jin Yiheng entered the room and said, ”Xiaoxi, I bought you a present.”
Long Xiaoxi got down from the bed and walked towards him slowly. ”What is it?”
He opened his palm to reveal an exquisite hair clip and said, ”I especially got Uncle Shixin to go with me to buy this for you. I picked it out myself. Do you like it?”
Being the child she was, Long Xiaoxi's initial grumpiness immediately vanished at the sight of such a beautiful hair clip given to her by the Brother Yiheng she adored. She took the hair clip from his hand and said, ”Thank you, Brother Yiheng. The hair clip is so pretty, I like it a lot.”
Jin Yiheng heaved a sigh of relief. He held her hand and said, ”Come with me, I have something to say to you.”
Long Xiaoxi was then brought to Long Wenlun's room. ”Tell me, are you angry because I played with Yuechan?” Jin Yiheng asked.
”Yes. You didn't even defend me when she made such mean remarks about me. Brother Yiheng, I think you don't like me. Do you mind that I'm chubby and ugly too?” said Long Xiaoxi, who had already forgiven him, deep down.
”I don't mind that you're chubby. I think you're really cute that way. Xiaoxi, don't be angry at me anymore. I'll protect you and stand up to her if she criticizes you again,” Jin Yiheng answered, pinching her cheeks.
A smile finally formed on Long Xiaoxi's face. She inched forward to hug him and said, ”Brother Yiheng, you're mine.”
”If I'm yours, then who do you belong to?” Jin Yiheng asked.
”You, of course. When we grow up, I want to bear your children,” Long Xiaoxi said confidently, looking up at him.
”Alright, when we're older, you'll be the only person who gets to bear my children.”
Long Xiaoxi nodded, blushing red with shyness.

An Xiaoning was more than eager and excited to return home tomorrow after being on a 20-day business trip, although it was already cut short from the initial duration of one month.
She instructed her assistant to pack the luggage and prepare for the flight home scheduled for the next morning.
