My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 522: After the modification - 530 We Need to Understand Each Other

Shi Yi saw the little guy earnestly telling his companion that he "wasn’t a child without a mother," found it funny yet couldn’t help feeling heartache for Xiao Yi Xun.

As the saying goes, a child with a mother is a treasure, a child without a mother is like grass. Even though Leng Yixiu spoiled Xiao Yi Xun, he could never replace the importance of a mother in Xiao Yi Xun’s heart.

Thinking of Leng Yixiu’s poor ex-wife, Shi Yi couldn’t help but sigh. What exactly happened back then that made Leng Yixiu so heartless to the mayor’s daughter? And later, why did he become so obsessed with his ex-wife? The entanglement in this might be much more interesting than what the gossip news had reported.

Getting into a taxi, Shi Yi pinched Xiao Yi Xun’s little hand and asked with a smile, "Did your companion say you were a child without a mother before?"

The little guy frowned deeply, then nodded heavily. But the frown on her face vanished in an instant, and a smile soon reappeared.

"But they won’t say that about me anymore." Xiao Yi Xun put her hands on her hips, looking very grown up.

Shi Yi couldn’t help but laugh at her little gesture, but then she saw the smile on her face fade away. Xiao Yi Xun’s clear big eyes stared at her without blinking, and her cherry-red lips moved slightly, "Mom, will you come to pick me up again in the future?"

"Well..." Shi Yi initially wanted to say she wasn’t sure, but seeing the little one’s pitiful eyes, she couldn’t help but nod, "Whenever I have some free time, I’ll come to pick you up."

"Really?"

"Yes, a promise is a promise!"

"What does a promise is a promise mean?"

This question stumped Shi Yi. She thought for a moment and then patiently explained, "It means that our words count and we won’t break our promises."

The little one’s face finally lit up with a bright smile again as she leaned closer to Shi Yi. Perhaps because she was a bit tired, she soon fell asleep in Shi Yi’s arms.

Watching the little one sleep peacefully, Shi Yi couldn’t help but smile. She asked the taxi driver, "Sir, could you please adjust the air conditioning a bit warmer?"

Thinking that Leng Yixiu might be missing Xiao Yi Xun, Shi Yi decided not to take Xiao Yi Xun back to the downtown apartment but went to Shengde.

When they entered the VIP ward, Leng Yixiu was discussing some matters with Assistant Chen. Since it involved internal affairs of Leng’s company, Shi Yi decided to step out of the room, as, despite the partnership, Leng’s and Lei Man still had competition in some areas.

Seeing Shi Yi holding Xiao Yi Xun and about to leave, Leng Yixiu called out to her, "You don’t need to go out."

Shi Yi smiled and declined, "I think it’s better to keep things private and public separate."

Saying so, she led Xiao Yi Xun out of the ward. After about ten minutes, Shi Yi saw Assistant Chen coming out of the ward. Seeing Shi Yi, Assistant Chen politely nodded to her with utmost respect.

In Assistant Chen’s eyes, Shi Yi was undoubtedly going to become the future mistress of Leng’s.

After dropping off Xiao Yi Xun in the ward, Shi Yi felt her task was complete. She greeted Leng Yixiu briefly and decided to leave quietly. Ever since she was kidnapped, her feelings towards Leng Yixiu had become complicated.

Before, she simply detested him, but now there was a complex emotion deep inside, making her feel uneasy and somewhat uncomfortable.

Just as Shi Yi was about to leave, the man’s deep voice came, "You haven’t had dinner yet, have you?"

Seeing Shi Yi didn’t respond, the man continued, "Why don’t you stay and have dinner together?"

Shi Yi’s face stiffened, and she declined, "No need, I have things to do."

"Shi Yi, you are avoiding me." The man looked at her deeply, noticing her unnatural expression. He paused and then said, "Have you forgotten the agreement between us that day?"

Shi Yi knew exactly what Leng Yixiu was referring to and couldn’t help but retort, "I haven’t forgotten. I have considered your proposal, but Leng Yixiu, this isn’t something that can be rushed. It takes time; I can’t just agree to date you casually."

"You’re right, this can’t be rushed. We both need to get to know each other better. So you should stay and spend more time with me."

Shi Yi reconsidered and thought Leng Yixiu made some sense. At this moment, Xiao Yi Xun also couldn’t help but join Leng Yixiu’s side.

"Mom, stay and have dinner with us!"

Xiao Yi Xun’s plea was too irresistible, and Shi Yi eventually decided to stay. The VIP ward was like a mini-apartment with a bathroom, kitchen, and furniture all provided.

Soon, the enticing aroma of food wafted from the kitchen. Even though Leng Yixiu was in the hospital, his quality of life wasn’t compromised at all. The only difference was that the chef from home was brought to Shengde. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Due to Leng Yixiu’s injuries, the food was light but quite tasty. To accommodate the patient, he ate separately at his bed while Shi Yi and Xiao Yi Xun ate at a small table opposite the bed.

Shi Yi ate quietly, but she felt as if an intense gaze was fixed on her. She suddenly looked up and saw Leng Yixiu staring at her.

His eyes were smiling and gentle, looking at her in a way that could make someone drown in them. What was he doing? Teasing her?

Feeling awkward, Shi Yi coughed lightly and lowered her head, continuing to eat, feeling a bit annoyed—how was she supposed to eat in peace with him staring?

"Mom, the rice from your bowl is falling on the table?" Xiao Yi Xun’s voice broke the awkward atmosphere. Seeing Shi Yi’s distracted expression, the little one added, "The teacher said, every grain of rice is the result of hard work and shouldn’t be wasted."

Shi Yi finally came back to her senses and smiled apologetically at Xiao Yi Xun, "The teacher is right. Every grain is precious, and wasting it should be criticized."

Although Shi Yi said this, she felt a bit frustrated inside. She never expected to be lectured by a little kid at her age. Sigh, she seemed to be getting younger as she grew older.

Shi Yi’s face showed a variety of expressions, very fascinating to Leng Yixiu. He had never seen her like this before and couldn’t help but smile. He then said to Xiao Yi Xun, "You seem quite proficient in teaching others; do you want to be a teacher in the future?"

Leng Yixiu’s question was casual, but he didn’t expect the little one to nod vigorously. Leng Yixiu couldn’t help but laugh, but his laughter accidentally pulled at his wound.
