Ke saw how determined Ziyue looked and swallowed what she wanted to say.
Although Ke believed Muchen was most likely dead, she thought it would be better to let Ziyue continue believing that he survived.
She needed the strength to deal with many more matters after this.
…
Since they decided to return to Yunzhou City, Ke speedily completed all preparations.
They returned to Yunzhou City that afternoon.
Jingshu sent someone to pick them up at the airport.
"Mrs. Qin, Mr. Bai has returned your son to Cloud Bay."
"I understand."
Ziyue nodded and entered the car.
Ke's eyes brightened with curiosity when she heard about Ziyue's son.
She had never met Zixi before.
Soon, the car stopped outside the villa in Cloud Bay.
Ke exited the car first and opened the door for Ziyue. Then, she followed Ziyue to the villa.
"Mommy!"
An adorable boy rushed out of the house before they could even step in.
Ziyue was stunned. Her expression was slightly stiff as she curved her lips into a smile.
She extended her arms toward Zixi. "Come here."
Zixi flung himself into her embrace and said happily, "Mommy, you're home!"
He had not seen his mother for many days.
One could see how much he missed her.
Ziyue lifted him and hugged his small figure tightly in her embrace.
She closed her eyes and tried to control the urge to cry. Then, she took a deep breath and smiled to appear normal.
Zixi was astute. Even though he could not understand adults' concerns, he could sense people's emotions.
"Yes, I'm home. Did you miss me?" Ziyue asked softly and gently rested her chin on his small shoulders.
Zixi reached out and patted Ziyue's shoulder before replying sweetly, "Yes, I miss you every day."
"I miss you too." Ziyue calmed her emotions before letting Zixi go gently. Then, she turned to Ke and said, "This is Ms. Nan. She is Mr. Nan's sister."
Zixi looked confused. Although he did not understand the word 'sister,' he still said politely, "Ms. Nan!"
Ke was surprised to see a mini version of Muchen and could not help but smile. "Nice to meet you. Zixi, you're so adorable!"
She pinched Zixi's cheek gently.
Zixi obediently let her pinch his cheek. He frowned slightly and seemed a little unhappy, yet he obediently bore with it. He almost melted Ke's heart with his adorableness.
Ziyue also noticed Zixi's expression and laughed before carrying him into the house.
Jingshu came to the door and saw Ziyue come in with Zixi. He glanced past her and noticed someone behind her. "Hello, Ke."
Ke nodded. "Good to see you, Mr. Bai."
Then, they proceeded elsewhere to talk.
Ziyue handed Zixi to a maid before entering Muchen's study with the rest.
She sat in the chair behind Muchen's desk and glanced at the table. The table was still full of things Muchen usually used. However, Muchen was nowhere to be found.
Ke initiated the conversation. "Someone leaked news about Mr. Qin's plane crash to the press and caused severe decline in LK Group's share value. The situation is concerning."
Ziyue was in B City all this while and did not have the time to check the news. She did not know anything.
