Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 608 - 588: Women Just Love to be Jealous

Jiayi felt somewhat feverish.

This was a familiar scent, the scent of the first man who had ever made her blush and heart flutter, unforgettable for a lifetime.

She thought she would never meet Nie Yixiao again in this life, yet now they were only a few centimeters apart.

She hastily nodded, then remembered something and her brows knit together in confusion, "What brings you to China this time?"

Nie Yixiao looked at her but did not immediately respond.

Jiayi immediately realized she shouldn’t have asked, "I’m sorry."

Subordinates from ISM had come with him, and since he preferred to secretly keep an eye on her rather than showing up, she guessed it must be inconvenient for him.

It must be some important official business.

ISM’s investigations often concerned major cases and targets, sometimes even involving national governments and power interest groups, so naturally, it wasn’t something to be discussed carelessly.

However, Nie Yixiao did not intend to hide it from her, his handsome brows relaxing, "Outside the hotel that day, there was something I didn’t get a chance to tell you. After the Xuan Family case, in this life, I will no longer have any secrets from you."

She looked up at him.

Nie Yixiao saw the deer-like look in her eyes and subconsciously curved his beautiful lips, raising his hand as he did in their youth, lightly flicking her nose, "I came to the coast of China this time to investigate a case."

His touch made Jiayi feel as if sparks were igniting all over her, her body moved involuntarily, and her palms began to sweat.

Seeing her reaction, his sharp eyes flickered, the light on the water ripples gently, "Can you call me as you did before?"

She was momentarily lost.

Nie Yixiao lifted his hand, gently cradling her jade cheek, his fingertips lightly caressing her skin, "Just like back in the small town, call me Brother Yixiao."

He deeply missed those times with her, times in life that can never be returned to.

Just then, footsteps from the alley’s entrance could be heard along with Xiaoqin’s voice, "Miss Chu—"

Jiayi stepped back, lifting her skirt, "I should go back first, you better leave."

Yet Nie Yixiao was still staring at her with burning eyes, seemingly stubbornly waiting for her response.

As the footsteps drew nearer, Jiayi became anxious, "Brother Yixiao, you should go first."

The level of strictness someone had over her nearly drove everyone crazy, he might come second, no one dared claim the first spot!

If he knew that Nie Yixiao had come to China and made private contact with her, even if there were no issues, they still might stir up trouble.

She didn’t want to bring trouble upon herself.

Brother Yixiao.

Those three words floated into his ears, sweet as honey, Nie Yixiao’s mind cleared briefly, then he finally moved his lips with satisfaction, took a few steps back, turned around, and walked briskly toward the end of the alley.

Jiayi also hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran towards the alley’s entrance, just in time to bump into Xiaoqin accompanied by bodyguards.

"Miss Chu, how did you run out here?" Xiaoqin panted as he approached.

"I’m sorry, I saw someone I knew and chased out after them, but I realized I was mistaken," she explained.

"Oh, it’s fine, let’s head back to the wedding dress shop."

"Okay."

Jiayi sighed in relief and followed the group away from the alley.

*

In the evening, Jiayi returned to Disheng from the wedding dress shop.

Soon after getting back to the villa, Zaizai was also picked up from kindergarten.

Jiayi urged Zaizai to finish his kindergarten homework and played with him for a while with his toys. It was getting late, and Auntie Li called them downstairs for dinner.

It was only when Jiayi led Zaizai downstairs that she saw Huo Zhenyang hadn’t returned to the villa yet.

Zaizai was lifted onto the children’s dining chair by Auntie Li and lifted his fair little face, "Why hasn’t Daddy come home yet? He said he’d have dinner with me tonight."

Auntie Li smiled and said, "The inauguration ceremony is in just a couple of days. The young master might be a bit busy these days and could be caught up in something. Zaizai, go ahead and eat."

Jiayi just couldn’t stand how Zaizai always had that man on his mind.

Zaizai was her child, after all — she had raised him until he was over three years old. That man only appeared recently, and quickly captured Zaizai’s heart. Now, Zaizai almost treats him like an idol.

"Zaizai, eat," Jiayi said with a stern face.

Zaizai looked at Mommy’s expression and sighed, "Women are really troublesome, always jealous."

Jiayi was annoyed, "Chu Zhuoting, which TV drama did you learn that line from!"

Zaizai quickly changed the subject, "Okay, okay, let’s eat. Where’s my meat—"

...

Dinner passed quickly.

Jiayi took Zaizai upstairs, gave him a bath, changed him into his little pajamas, and carried him to his small bed.

"Go to sleep," she patted her son’s chubby bottom.

Zaizai rolled around a few times on the soft bed and glanced out at the night sky, still thinking about someone," Why hasn’t Daddy come back yet? He promised he would help me assemble the model car before bedtime."

Jiayi felt a sourness in her heart, "Zaizai, didn’t you used to only like it when Mommy told you bedtime stories."

Zaizai honestly said, "Mommy, model cars are more fun. And Daddy is very good at it, he can put it together in no time."

Little boys will be little boys; at this age, they still prefer to play with their fathers.

Jiayi wouldn’t be outdone, "It’s just a few pieces of scrap iron being taken apart and put back together, right? Mommy can do it too!"

Mommy is jealous again. Zaizai felt helpless but was very true to himself, "Mommy, you’re quite clumsy. You tried to assemble it for me once and couldn’t get it done in three days, while Daddy can get it done in ten minutes."

Jiayi was embarrassed and said awkwardly, "Oh? Is that so?"

However, in such a short period, Zaizai was so attached to that man. It seemed that father-son affection really was innate.

Zaizai liked the feeling of having his father around; of course, she wouldn’t stop that. But there were some things she wanted to talk to Zaizai about in advance, just in case...

Some day she might really move out of the villa, and she didn’t want Zaizai to be disappointed.

It would be best to give a preemptive injection.

"Do you want to live with Daddy forever?" She softened her tone and stroked Little Meatball’s head.

Zaizai immediately went on high alert, "Mommy, don’t you want to live with Daddy?"

Jiayi didn’t want to damage his image in front of Zaizai, since the man had already become Zaizai’s idol. She said very tactfully, "If Mommy lives with Daddy forever, they would definitely have to get married."

"Mommy is going to marry Daddy? You even tried on a wedding dress today."

Her gaze flickered slightly, "Zaizai, do you know what you need for marriage?"

That question was far too profound for four-year-old Chu Zhuoting, who was sucking on a plain finger, "A wedding dress! A church! A marriage certificate!"

Jiayi couldn’t help but laugh and cry, and pulled down his finger, "You need love to get married. When you see that person, you really want to spend the rest of your life with them every single day. That’s the person you marry." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Zaizai had a blank, cute expression on his face.

Jiayi held her forehead, what was she doing, talking about such things with a little brat? She gathered her thoughts, and said cautiously, "Anyway, what Mommy means is... Daddy will always be your daddy, and Mommy won’t stop that. But if one day Mommy really can’t stay with Daddy, will you stay with Mommy or Daddy?"
