Chapter 1636 - A Once In A Lifetime Privilege

Jing Xi did not raise her head and replied, “Any parent would love their own children, wouldn’t they? I’m sure that you love the prince a lot.”

“You’re right.” Huo Yunshen nodded in agreement.

After a moment of silence, Huo Yunshen asked, “What happened to your face?”

“A fire broke out in my house,” Jing Xi explained, even though she didn’t know the real reason either.

“Have you ever thought of plastic surgery?”

Even though Huo Yunshen was just concerned, Jing Xi felt really bad when she heard the question.

It just showed that every man, even the king, cared more about looks in women.

Huo Yunshen realized that his question was too abrupt and quickly apologized. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that.”

“It’s okay.” Jing Xi smiled as she shook her head.

Everything went quiet again.

Since Xiao Tieniu had been playing for the whole day, he quickly fell asleep in his mother’s arms.

Since the air conditioner was on, Jing Xi was afraid that Xiao Tieniu would catch a cold. She hugged her son tightly, wondering why she had forgotten to bring a jacket.

Just as she was scolding herself, a hand reached out with a blanket on it. Without giving it any thought, Jing Xi took the blanket and accidentally touched the man’s hand.

Surprised by it, Jing Xi quickly took her hand away.

Huo Yunshen thought that Jing Xi would grab the blanket and let it go. When he realized that Jing Xi had taken her hand back, the blanket was already falling to the floor.

Jing Xi looked at the blanket, and her first reaction was to pick it up. But when she was about to grab it, the man’s hand grabbed her hand.

Huo Yunshen was about to pick the blanket up too but was one step slower. Thus he accidentally grabbed Jing Xi’s hand.

Awkwardness could be seen on Huo Yunshen’s face.

The instant he grabbed Jin Xiaoxi’s hand, it felt familiar to him.

Her hand was as soft and as delicate as Jing Xi’s.

Realizing that he was comparing Jin Xiaoxi with Jing Xi again, Huo Yunshen imagined slapping himself to wake up.

Flustered by what had happened, Jing Xi quickly picked up the blanket and put it on Xiao Tieniu.

The atmosphere became quieter than it was. Only the sound of the engine could be heard.

The car quickly reached the gate of the Jin family’s house.

Yin Feng opened the door for Jing Xi, and Jing Xi came down with Xiao Tieniu in her arms.

“Thank you for sending me home,” Jing Xi said to Huo Yunshen.

Being able to ride in the king’s personal limo was already a once in a lifetime privilege for Jing Xi.

“Do you want Yin Feng to help you?’ Huo Yunshen asked, realizing that Jing Xi was struggling a little with Xiao Tieniu in her arms.

“It’s okay, thank you,” Jing Xi said. “The blanket…”

“You can keep it.”

“Thank you!”

Yin Feng then closed the door, and the car drove away.

When Huo Yunshen looked at Jing Xi’s back from the window, he started to wonder whether the reason he was kind to her was that she resembled his dead wife.
