568 The Secret About the Past 186 (1/2)

”Seems like she had committed a grave mistake.” Ling Ciye gave him a pat on his back and said, ”Try not to dwell on it.”

”I can't.”

Noticing Jin Yiheng's head between the crack of the door, Ling Ciye waved at him and said, ”Little Imp, come in and comfort your father, quick.”

”What's wrong with my Daddy?” Jin Yiheng asked as he entered the room.

”Your father is lovesick.”

”Uncle, can that be treated? Which hospital can treat his condition?”

Ling Ciye patted his head and said, ”Only your Mommy can fix him. Hurry and comfort your Daddy. Uncle is going home now.”

After Ling Ciye left, Jin Yiheng leaned towards his father and said, ”Daddy, are you feeling uncomfortable in your heart? You'll be fine after I massage you.”

Jin Qingyan lay down again and said, ”Give Daddy a massage then.”

He reached out his tiny hand and sat near his father's chest to give it a gentle rub. ”Why did Uncle say that only Mommy can fix you? Daddy, are you missing Mommy already? She'll be home very soon.”

Jin Qingyan remained silent, feeling as if his son's words had comforted him greatly.

Staring at his son who looked almost identical to him, he picked him up and pulled him into an embrace.

”It's your birthday tomorrow. Do you remember the instructions I gave you?”

”I have to spend the entire day with you,” Jin Yiheng answered.

”Yes, you have to stay by my side throughout the entire day tomorrow morning. Daddy will accompany you.”

”What about Mommy? It's Mommy's birthday tomorrow too. Who will accompany her?” Jin Yiheng asked.

”Someone will be there to accompany her,” said Jin Qingyan, striking a sour note within himself.

”Who is it?”

”I have no idea either.”

Just as he finished speaking, he received a text message on his mobile phone.

He picked up his mobile phone to see that it was a message from Xiao Chi's mobile number. Ever since their last conversation, An Xiaoning had tried to call him multiple times but to no avail. Although he had read all the messages she sent him, he did not change his mind about the matter.

Well, to him, she was just trying to cover up by explaining.

This time, An Xiaoning was not the one who sent the message, but rather, Xiao Chi.

He reported something to Jin Qingyan.

The text message read: ”I just received the latest news. From tomorrow night onwards, His Highness wants Young Madam to guard his room every night instead of following him around in the day. Also, Young Madam's wound in her back has not healed yet.”

Jin Qingyan pursed his lips tightly and stared at his screen before replying to Xiao Chi: ”You don't have to report to me about your Young Madam anymore from now onwards. You don't have to let her use your phone to contact me either.”

Soon, Xiaochi replied: ”Yes.”

Jin Qingyan put his phone away and closed his eyes with a heavy heart.

However, he was not the only one being devastated about the fact that their marriage was on the rocks. During the past five days, An Xiaoning had never once rested well, especially since she could not reach him at all. Panic and anxiety consumed her.

She had no appetite and could not sleep well at night either.

However, she did not regret entering the Autumn Palace even though her decision to do so had caused her to be mistaken and wounded, because she had never actually crossed the line.

Why doesn't he believe me?

Doesn't he understand what kind of person I am?

It was An Xiaoning and Jin Yiheng's birthday tomorrow, right smack in the middle of July.

She got out of bed and stood in front of the window before opening them.
