âIâm better, donât worry,â Huo Yijing replied.
âWhereâs Chengcheng? Is he not here with you?â
Huo Yunshen was already missing his niece.
âNo, he still has to go to school.â
âI see... Bring him over during the holidays. Ying Bao misses her big brother.â
âI will,â Huo Yijing nodded.
Huo Yunshen looked at Jing Zhannan standing behind Huo Yijing.
âUncle-in-law is here too?â
âYup. Iâm here to accompany Jingjing,â Jing Zhannan said.
âThank you. Why donât you take my sister around? Itâs her first time in Estan.â
The truth was, Huo Yunshen wanted to ask Jing Zhannan how it went with Huo Yijing, but there was no way he could ask the question with Huo Yijing around.
âWill do.â
Jing Zhannan would never let such a chance slip by.
They stayed for a little longer and left after that, thinking that it would be best for Huo Yunshen to rest after the surgery.
âThen, weâll take our leave now. Leave your sister to me, Iâll take care of her,â Jing Zhannan said.
Being one of his trusted aides, Jing Zhannan had earned Huo Yunshenâs trust. Huo Yunshen wouldnât mind leaving his sister in Jing Zhannanâs hands.
âIâll go see them off,â Jing Xi said and got up.
âNo, stay. You should take care of yourself too,â Jing Zhannan said.
Jing Zhannan took the chance and grabbed Huo Yijingâs hand before leaving the room. But once they were out, Huo Yijing pulled her hand back.
âWhatâs wrong?â Jing Zhannan asked.
âNothing.â
âCome on, Iâll bring you to some of the best spots in Lin City.â
Jing Zhannan opened the door to his car.
Huo Yijing didnât really want to go; she wanted to talk to Jing Zhannan about something but didnât have the chance to do so.
In the end, she got into his car.
Jing Zhannan was really excited as he drove to the destination.
If not for Huo Yunshenâs surgery, Jing Zhannan wondered how long he would have had to wait before he could see Huo Yijing.
Now that Huo Yijing was in Estan without her son, he finally got some alone time with her. He planned to propose to her romantically to win her heart.
Jing Zhannan took Huo Yijing around Lin City during the day.
When night fell, Jing Zhannan took Huo Yijing to the most prosperous part of the city, the City Square of Lin City.
A skyscraper stood beside the square with a huge LED screen on it.
Christmas was near, and a huge Christmas tree was set up in the middle of the square.
Jing Zhannan had Huo Yijing wait under the tree as he went to buy something.
Huo Yijing waited patiently but Jing Zhannan didnât return. Just as she was about to call him, she suddenly heard people gasping around her.
âLook at that!â
âIs someone confessing?â
âNo! Isnât that a proposal?â
Huo Yijing raised her head and saw that the contents of the screen on the skyscraper had been changed to lines of words.
[Jingjing, I love you!]
[Will you marry me and let me take care of you for the rest of my life?]
Huo Yijing looked at the screen and couldnât hide her surprise.
Whoâs proposing? Huo Yijing thought. Itâs so romantic! Is the lucky lady called Jingjing too?
