In the autumn, Ji Li returned from France.
This time, he came back as the President of the Greater China region for K Group.
Previously, he had been the president for the France region, and his sudden return meant severing the connections and relationships he had built over many years in France.
But Ji Li didn’t care.
He sensed that if he didn’t return soon, Qin Xi would definitely go back to Mu Jinhang.
Qin Xi came to pick him up at the airport.
Ji Li asked curiously, “Where’s Ning Bao?”
Qin Xi smiled, “At kindergarten.”
Ji Li was surprised, then realized something and smiled, “It seems you’ve decided to stay in the country.”
“I…” Qin Xi felt a bit guilty. “Thank you for taking me to France back then, but I’ve never really felt like a French person. Ning Bao likes it here a lot.”
“I know.” Ji Li nodded, his gaze gentle as he looked at her. “You’ve always wanted to come back since we were in France. Since you want to stay here, I’ll be with you. We won’t go back to France anymore.”
Qin Xi hesitated, thinking that since he had just returned, there were some things that weren’t appropriate to say right now. So she smiled and said, “Let’s go.”
Neither of them mentioned the past again.
As they stopped outside the airport and Qin Xi prepared to drive, Ji Li suddenly noticed the diamond ring on her left hand's ring finger and couldn’t help but squint his eyes.
He remembered that the unique diamond ring was purchased by Mu Jinhang at a Charity Auction.
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Ji Li's mind.
He couldn't help but grab Qin Xi's wrist, asking urgently, "Xi, are you with him?"
"What?" Qin Xi was taken aback.
"You and Mu Jinhang... are you getting back together? I remember that ring was in his hands!"
Qin Xi pulled her hand back a bit awkwardly. "I'm not with him; we're just friends."
She and Mu Jinhang were an unresolved knot.
If that were the case, then everything should start anew, returning to the safest and most stable position of friendship, just like after that heavy rain seven years ago.
But Ji Li didn't think so.
His emotions flared up. "Xi, you can't do this! He's deceiving you! Have you forgotten how he once hurt you? For Qin Zhiruo, he not only wanted to drain your blood but also to get rid of the child in your womb!"
Qin Xi's face turned pale instantly.
"How can you believe that such a cold-hearted person would bring you happiness and treat you well for the rest of your life?" Ji Li grasped Qin Xi's hand again, staring intently at her. "Xi, you can't stay with him!"
This was the first time Qin Xi had seen Ji Li so agitated; he even looked somewhat frightening.
She couldn't help but struggle. "I don't want to be with him. Ji Li, you're hurting me..."
Ji Li paused for a moment, then released her hand, filled with regret. "I'm sorry; I just don't want you to get hurt."
"I won't give him another chance to hurt me," Qin Xi whispered, her mood sinking along with Ji Li's words.
Qin Xi took Ji Li to the kindergarten to pick up Ning Bao, and the three of them had dinner together.
"Mommy, why doesn't Daddy live with us anymore?" Ning Bao asked in his sweet voice.
"Daddy is busy with work and can't live with us," Qin Xi replied, gently patting his head.
That evening, after much contemplation, Qin Xi decided to call Ji Li. "I want to talk to Ning Bao about his biological father. He's growing up, and if he finds out that we've been pretending to be a couple and deceiving him, it will hurt him."
There was a long silence on the other end of the line before Ji Li's hesitant voice finally responded, "Okay, I'll help you tell him."
They agreed to reveal to Ning Bao after school the next day that Ji Li was not his biological father.
However, the following evening, just as Qin Xi and Ji Li were preparing to pick up Ning Bao, they suddenly received a call from the Kindergarten Teacher.
Ning Bao was missing!
