Chapter 101 Biological Parents
"Is this a belt?"
Shen Xi tilted her head and looked at Jiang Ci with a grin. Jiang Ci snorted and changed the subject without making a sound.
He was clearly the legal wife, married through proper channels!
The legal wife who was once supported by national law!!
Who would want to imitate the behavior of those brothels and entertainment venues!
Shen Xi teases him like a cat; the moment she teases him, he gets all pricked up, just like if you wave a cat toy in front of him, he'll wag his tail on his own.
She crossed her arms and glanced at him sideways. "No, guess in other directions."
Jiang Ci's narrow eyes fell on the bag. He stroked his chin, examined it for a moment, and then said with certainty,
"This is clay."
Shen Xi and Xiao Jiangdu were both stunned. How could they have guessed that? There was no logo or any illustration on the bag; it was just a plain pink and blue paper bag.
"How did you guess that?"
Jiang Ci liked her surprised expression, smiled, snapped his fingers, and winked at her. "I had a business partner's child who was interested in pottery and often liked to go to this shop, but his grades didn't drop at all. When his father was treating everyone to a meal, he brought the child in halfway through, and he had this in his hand."
The scene was quiet for a moment, almost like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
Jiang Ci casually helped Shen Xi tuck her chin in.
"You can do that?"
Shen Xi was somewhat stunned, and sighed with regret, realizing that he had still made a mistake.
"Dad, this is the prettiest one Mom made, and she saved it especially for you!"
Xiao Jiangdu was sending a signal of love to his elderly father.
"Oh? Then I will definitely treasure it carefully. After a hundred years, it will be my unique burial item."
Jiang Ci spoke with a smile, her hands never stopping. A matching pink silk scarf with a large bow was tied around the outside of the exquisite box.
He raised an eyebrow. "So you're willing to spend money on me?"
What does this mean? It means she's really fallen in love with me!
He gently flicked his fingers behind him, and the silk scarf untied, revealing a palm-sized fox lying inside. The fox stood with its arms crossed, looking ahead with disdain, exuding an air of arrogant dominance.
Jiang Ci, who had just opened the box, was caught off guard and made eye contact with this wild fox.
"..."
He twitched his lips, then turned to look at Shen Xi, who was watching the show, with some doubt, and said, "Tsk, is this really a good animal character?"
Shen Xi crossed her arms and said meaningfully, "Don't you think this fox looks a lot like you? Look closely at its eyes, don't they look like the way you looked at me the first time?"
Jiang Ci's heart raced, and he touched his slightly reddened earlobe with a guilty conscience.
What kind of look is that?
Shen Xi said sarcastically, "Of course it's the way you look at trash!"
She still remembered; she had just transmigrated and wanted to ask for directions when she was suddenly scolded.
Ha, just ask for directions, and I guarantee you'll be completely silent.
Jiang Ci touched the tip of his nose. Although Xi Xi was being sarcastic, she must care to feel that way.
Thinking about it that way made him feel much better immediately.
Jiang Ci couldn't resist touching the fox that Shen Xi had sculpted, its eyes gleaming with cunning.
He smiled brightly.
Jiang Ci suddenly remembered something, and his gaze fell on the box that his son was holding tightly in his little hand.
What is Xiaoman holding?
Xiao Jiangdu held the box in both hands, took a step back without making a sound, and said warily, "Dad, I made this myself, not Mom."
"Oh."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ci turned back expressionlessly and looked at his one and only fox spirit with great interest.
Tsk, you know what, the more you look at this vixen, the more unique she becomes, and she even has a special charm.
Seeing his father staring intently at the fox his mother was making, Xiao Jiangdu secretly scratched his mother's palm, pointed upstairs when his father wasn't looking, and then quickly ran away on his short legs.
Shen Xi, standing with her arms outstretched, watched her son's retreating figure, both amused and exasperated. She then turned back to see the man clinging to the fox, looking utterly foolish, and for a moment, she was at a loss for words.
"Hey, is it that pretty?"
Jiang Ci carefully closed the box little by little, then tied it with a silk scarf, making a knot that was even prettier than the one the original owner had tied.
He muttered, "This is different; this is an expression of love."
Jiang Ci quickly put the model away and placed it safely in the center of the long table.
He turned around and casually mentioned something.
"Does Xixi still remember your biological parents?"
Shen Xi, whose lips had been curved in a smile, slightly suppressed the curve of her smile and asked indifferently, "Why are you asking this?"
Jiang Ci saw her expression, and his brow twitched.
"I wish we had been born together. Whatever I have, you would have too. What I don't have, but others have, you would definitely have as well."
"Tsk, no need, I used to be quite happy."
Shen Xi waved her hand, slowly walked to the sofa and sat down, seemingly not regretting her actions at all.
She doesn't need that kind of pity.
Shen Xi seemed curious; she looked up at him with a hint of suspicion, and asked in a questioning tone.
Why are you asking such a question today?
Jiang Ci smiled slightly, stroked her smooth hair, and said in a hoarse voice, "I heard from Jiang Po that you met Madam Shen outside today. She seems to regard you as her daughter."
But Shen Xi didn't misunderstand at all; she simply assumed that Madam Shen had lost a child.
When this was mentioned, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
The loss of her child seemed to be a fatal blow to the mother. Chu Li's obviously desolate mental state and her emaciated appearance were all signs that Chu Li was not doing well.
She said with some regret, "This Mrs. Shen seems to be a pitiful person. Even though she is indeed thin now, you can still see her past through her face. She must have been a great beauty in the past."
"That damned human trafficker, brazenly breaking into the nursery to steal a child, what a wonderful mother."
Even though she might only resemble her in a few ways, Madam Shen couldn't wait to get close to her.
Jiang Ci hesitated for a moment, then finally asked, "If you find your biological parents in the future, what will you choose?"
Shen Xi scoffed, "So many years have passed, my child is almost all grown up. It's really ridiculous for him to come here now to claim kinship."
Her tone was cold and ruthless.
"They are them, and I am me. They have nothing to do with me."
Jiang Ci paused, looked at Shen Xi's cold eyes, and sighed inwardly. It was probably a misunderstanding.
He loves Shen Xi, but he also hopes that more love can surround Shen Xi, so that she can feel that there are many more people in this world who love her and that she deserves to be loved.
However, it seems the Shen family can no longer avoid it now.
