Chapter 1664 - Sentimental
Lan Yi had thought of a lot of ways to calm the little prince down, but nothing worked.
Without any other choices, Lan Yi decided to work around the king’s order.
Huo Yunshen did say that they could not hire Jin Xiaoxi, but he did not mention that they could not go and find her.
“My prince. I’ll bring you to meet Auntie Xiaoxi if you stop crying, okay?” Lan Yi said.
“Really?’ Little Grape asked while he looked at Lan Yi with his teary eyes.
“Of course! I have Auntie Xiaoxi’s phone number. We can ask when she’s free.”
“Call her now!” Little Grape urged.
“Okay, okay. But you must not tell the king, okay?” Lan Yi asked.
“Okay! This will be our secret!” Little Grape smiled.
“Yup, our secret.”
Lan Yi then called Jin Xiaoxi and told her about their situation. Lan Yi did not expect her to accept their visit easily.
Lan Yi snuck the little prince out of the palace the next day when the king was having a meeting.
They waited in the car just outside the address Jin Xiaoxi had given them. They waited until they saw Jin Xiaoxi coming out from a high rise.
“Grandma Lan! I can see Auntie Xiaoxi! She’s over there!” Little Grape exclaimed as he pointed at Jing Xi.
“I see her too,” Lan Yi replied as she rubbed the little kid’s head. She still could not understand why the little guy would like Jing Xi that much.
She could not see anything unusual in Jing Xi that would make the kid like her.
She wondered if it was because Jin Xiaoxi looked like the prince’s dead mother.
Those were questions that even Jing Xi could not answer.
Jing Xi spotted the palace’s car and jogged towards it. The door opened, and Jing Xi saw the prince sitting inside it.
The kid wore a button-down shirt with a cute little bow tie. He was staring at Jing Xi with starry eyes.
“Are you feeling better?” Jing Xi asked.
There was a feeling of sentimentality in her heart that she couldn’t explain as soon as she saw Little Grape.
“Auntie Xiaoxi…”
Little Grape could not hold back his tears the moment he saw Jing Xi.
“Hey… Don’t cry… I’m here…”
Jing Xi went into the car and hugged the little kid.
Lan Yi was touched by what she was seeing. Even though the two people weren’t related by blood, their relationship was thicker than blood.
No one would’ve believed her if she told it to other people.
Jing Xi took a long time to calm the crying kid down. After hearing the whole story from Lan Yi, Jing Xi could tell how hurt the prince was.
“All right, can you smile for me?” Jing Xi asked as she lifted the kid’s chin.
