Jing Xi ignored Little Grapeâs tantrum and went in to tidy up his room.
She then went to the little boyâs side and asked, âWhat are you going to wear today?â
Little Grape quickly turned around when he heard Jing Xiâs voice, and his mood instantly brightened.
âAuntie Xiaoxi...â
It was clear that the little boy was hurt.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Jing Xi kneeled in front of him and looked at his little face.
Little Grape thought of his dream again, and tears filled his eyes. Knowing that he was about to cry, he quickly held back his tears.
âWho made you cry? Tell me.â
Jing Xi tried to grab the little boyâs hand, but he quickly hid his hands behind his back.
âIâm not crying. Men donât cry.â
Jing Xi had no idea what had happened, but it was clear that the little boy was on the verge of breaking down.
She then slowly touched his face and said, âCome on, you can tell me. I promise not to tell anyone.â
Jing Xiâs effort finally paid off as the little prince started to talk.
Little Grape had a lovely dream. In his dream, he was lying in someoneâs warm arms. Without even opening his eyes, he knew they belonged to his mother.
He could feel his mother slowly rocking him back and forth as she hummed a beautiful song. The little boy was so happy that he did not want to wake up.
But he was awoken from his dream when the maid came in to wake him up.
When he opened his eyes and realized his mother was gone, he became angry.
After chasing the maid away, the little boy began to trash the room out of frustration.
After hearing the little boyâs story, Jing Xi felt as if her heart was being pierced by thousands of needles. Her heart ached when she thought of the little boy who had to grow up without the love of his mother.
Jing Xi them picked Little Grape up into her arms and began to hum.
Perhaps because she had been Xiao Tieniuâs mother for quite some time, she could sympathize with Little Grapeâs condition.
Shocked by Jing Xiâs sudden action, Little Grape raised his head and looked into Jing Xiâs eyes. It was as if his dream was happening once again.
âIs this how your mother was in your dream?â Jing Xi then asked after she finished humming a tune.
Little Grape nodded.
Jing Xi did not pursue it any further and continued to hum another tune.
Huo Yunshen had already gotten word from Lan Yi that the little prince was throwing a tantrum and came to check what was going in.
But when they opened the door to Little Grapeâs room, they were shocked by what they were seeing.
A woman was sitting by the bed with Little Grape in her arms. She was slowly rocking the kid back and forth while humming an unknown tune.
The scene had a significant impact on Huo Yunshen.
In a swift moment, he thought that woman was his long lost wife.
Unable to believe his eyes, he let out a soft whisper.
âJing Xi...â
Lan Yi had already realized that the woman by the bed was not Jing Xi, but Jin Xiaoxi instead. And when she heard her king whisper the name of his deceased wife, she couldnât help but sigh as she knew the king was thinking about Jing Xi again.
