Chapter 167
Xiao Yongze stood at the door of the room, looking at the mother and daughter, feeling a bit envious.
The mother could sleep together with the little cotton-padded jacket, but he, the father, couldn't.
He wished he could go back nineteen years ago, take the daughter from Xiao Yuanning, and watch her grow up.
Xiao Yuanning looked at his old man with a melancholic face, rubbed his chin for a moment, seeming to have made an extremely important decision, and with an expression of going to his death, said, "Dad, if it really doesn't work, I can sleep with you tonight. I don't mind you!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yongze rolled his eyes hard, "Get lost, son!"
At night, Song Jiaxi and Ye Jinmeng lay on the bed, thoroughly enjoying the warmth of the time belonging solely to the mother and daughter.
"Mom."
"Hmm? What's up, baby?"
"How did you and Dad meet? And how did you end up together? Tell your little daughter, will you?"
Song Jiaxi smiled and turned over, facing Ye Jinmeng, "Then let me tell you, but don't laugh at me."
Ye Jinmeng also turned over, facing Song Jiaxi, "Okay~"
"My parents passed away early, and I was raised by my grandfather. My grandfather made a living by running a dessert shop to support me."
"At eighteen, I got into Hai City University. During the New Year's holiday, the school held a New Year's ball where we could eat, drink, play and dance to our heart's content."
"I was very introverted at the time and didn't like to interact with too many people. At the ball, while others gathered to dance or socialize, I snuck away to the buffet area to eat little cakes."
"I was very hungry, but I was afraid people would laugh at me for being a glutton, so I took a few cakes and crouched under the table to eat them."
"Then your dad showed up." She smiled as she said this.
"Was that your first encounter with him?"
Song Jiaxi shook her head, "Not for me. Your dad was not only famous in the rich circles back then, but also a renowned figure on campus. At that time, he and Junli, Shi Ze, and Yuanhao were called the Four Young Masters of Hai City."
Ye Jinmeng covered her mouth and giggled quietly. It turned out that the older generation was so arrogant too!
"Your dad was two years ahead of me. Not only was he a great student and handsome, but he also had an amazing physique. I had secretly admired him all along, but the Xiao family had always been one of the top enterprises in Hai City, while my family was just an ordinary household that ran a small cake shop. I knew this secret admiration wouldn't lead anywhere, so I could only gaze at him from afar, and he didn't even notice me."
"Oh~ so that New Year's ball was the first time you two officially met?"
"Yes."
"At that time, I was crouched under the table eating cakes, completely unaware that someone had come over, until a pair of shiny leather shoes appeared in front of me. I was startled and looked up to see your dad's equally surprised handsome face."
"We stared at each other for about ten seconds before he hurriedly stepped back and apologized, saying he hadn't noticed anyone under the table. I was so embarrassed that my face turned red. I lowered my head and slowly stood up, telling him it was okay."
"I thought he would leave, but instead, he started chatting with me, saying he didn't like such occasions, but since he had made plans with friends, it wouldn't be appropriate not to show up, so he decided to find a quiet corner to pass the time."
"That's how we started talking, until someone came over and we bid each other farewell. I thought we wouldn't have any more interactions after that, but during the winter break, he showed up at my family's little cake shop."
Ye Jinmeng had an "I understand" expression, as if the scenario of the CEO pursuing his wife to her home was a common trope in sweet novels.
"So, Mom, did Dad start implementing his wife-chasing tactics on you then?"
Song Jiaxi nodded shyly.
"I really never thought he would pursue me. Although I was happy, I also knew that the heir of a major family couldn't possibly marry an ordinary commoner like me, so I didn't agree. I was afraid of falling for him and then being abandoned."
"He seemed to understand what I was afraid of. One day, he even brought his mother, your grandmother, to the shop. Your grandmother was very kind and told me that the Xiao family didn't rely on marriage alliances for their children. As long as the family was reputable and the two people liked each other, they wouldn't interfere with their child's marriage."
"My grandfather didn't interfere with my relationship either. So we started dating, and your dad never neglected me because of gatherings or social events with his friends. He would actively report to me. If any of his friends said something bad about me, he would immediately cut ties with them, giving me a sense of security."
"On the day I graduated from university, he proposed to me. Shortly after, we got married, and he has been doting on me ever since."
Ye Jinmeng's eyes welled up with tears as she listened. Her parents' love story was so beautiful! She wanted to have a sweet relationship like this with Justin.
Ye Jinmeng hugged her mother tightly, "Mom, our family will stay happy like this forever!"
Song Jiaxi hugged her back, "Yes, we will."
Seeing that it was almost midnight, Song Jiaxi hurriedly said, "Alright, baby, time to sleep. Don't you have an exam tomorrow? Get some rest."
"Okay, good night, Mom!"
"Good night, baby!"
After a dreamless night, it had been a long time since Song Jiaxi had slept so soundly. She opened her eyes to see Ye Jinmeng's chubby little face, feeling incredibly happy in her heart.
She gently placed a motherly kiss on Ye Jinmeng's cheek, slowly got out of bed, and went to make breakfast for her little darling.
However, Xiao Yongze had been dreaming all night that his wife had a daughter and didn't want him anymore. He woke up crying and went downstairs, only to see his wife serving breakfast on the table. He immediately hugged her from behind.
"Honey, I dreamed that you didn't want me anymore since you have a daughter now. You can't forget your husband."
Song Jiaxi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You silly man, how can you be jealous of your daughter?"
"I don't care, as long as it's someone trying to take my wife away, I'll be jealous!"
At that moment, Ye Jinmeng came downstairs, "Good morning, Dad and Mom! Wow, the breakfast smells so good!"
Xiao Yongze: "Good morning, baby. How did you sleep last night? Are you hungry? Come and eat breakfast!"
Song Jiaxi covered her mouth and giggled in secret.
Xiao Yuanning then came downstairs as well, "Good morning, Dad, Mom, and Sister! Wow, the breakfast smells so good!"
Xiao Yongze: "You little brat, all you know is eating!"
Xiao Yuanning: Excuse me?
After breakfast, the family sent Ye Jinmeng off to take the school exam. Afterward, Xiao Yuanning arrived at Xizhe Entertainment, a subsidiary of X International, to officially make his comeback in Hua Country under the identity of Xiao Yuanning. At the same time, he released his first personal album.
As soon as the news was released, it caused the Weibo server to crash.
"Ahhhh, my Justin has finally appeared!"
"No wonder my son hasn't had any news for so long, turns out he's returned to the country for his career!"
"Ahhhh, my goose's singing is so good! His voice is so milky! His dancing is so cool!"
...
"Hey, Justin's Chinese name is Xiao Yuanning, surname Xiao. The boss of X International was also exposed to have the surname Xiao. You guys think he's the young master of X International?"
"Heh, just because his surname is Xiao doesn't mean he's from X International. Fans, don't delude yourselves and shamelessly try to leech off his popularity. There's a limit to that kind of thing!"
"Hey, does our Ning need to leech off popularity? You're kidding, Ning himself is a walking king of popularity!"
