Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband

Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Everything in Idol Dramas Is Deceptive

Lin Xu saw the opened drawer, barely making out the old photos inside, and instantly felt somewhat enlightened.

She tilted her chin up and pecked gently at the man’s thin lips, her voice teasing with a mischievous laugh, “Jealous?”

Xie Changyan’s index finger twirled a few times around the tips of her hair, entwining her locks, but he didn’t reply.

“What if I still can’t forget him?” Lin Xu cocked her head to the side, feigning distress.

The action with her hair halted, and Xie Changyan’s slender eyes narrowed slightly, exuding an intimidating aura, “Then I wouldn’t mind lending a hand to help you, for example… by burning all these photos first.”

To spare her the agony of pining after someone every day.

“If you dare to burn them, you’ll definitely regret it later,” Lin Xu said.

Once he regains his memory, he might just regret the foolish things he did.

However, this remark took on a different meaning when it fell on Xie Changyan’s ears.

She liked that man so much that she even threatened me over a few photos.

Xie Changyan clenched the photo frame in his hand, as if wanting to snap it in two, and irritability surged from the bottom of his heart, darkening his complexion.

“Alright, Lanyue is still looking for us, let’s go out first,” Lin Xu withdrew the photo frame from his hand and placed it back in the drawer.

Just as she was about to lead him out of the bedroom, she noticed a black box had mysteriously appeared in the drawer.

“What’s this, did you put it here?” Lin Xu picked up the box and examined it, not recognizing it at all.

It certainly wasn’t hers. Could it belong to Ji Yanli? Or was it something Ji Tingyang and the others had placed here later?

She wanted to open it to see what was inside, but found a lock with a password on the box, which required the correct password to open.

So secretive?

Xie Changyan watched her holding the box, “Found it in the corner of the drawer.”

Seeing it sparked a sense of familiarity and nostalgia, as if he once had a box just like it.

“Do you know what the password is?” Lin Xu asked him.

“Do I look like a fortune teller to you, capable of divining the password for you?” Xie Changyan raised an eyebrow.

Besides, it might be something left behind by that man.

He certainly had no interest in helping her crack it.

Lin Xu, after several unsuccessful attempts at the password, finally gave up and tossed the box back into the drawer.

I’ll ask Ji Tingyang about it tomorrow.

Lin Xu pondered, then led Xie Changyan downstairs.

Having found Xie Changyan, Ji Yuqiao had vanished to who knows where.

It wouldn’t be good to leave Xie Changyan again to look for her, so Lin Xu decided to stay in the living room to keep him company.

“This must be your first time touring the Ji Family residence, how do you feel about it?” Lin Xu asked.

Today, both Lin Xu and Ji Yuqiao seemed especially keen on asking him this question, Xie Changyan gave her a glance, responding politely, “The decor is nice.”

“Is there any place that left a deep impression on you?” Her eyes brimmed with faint anticipation.

Xie Changyan’s lips curled slightly, his tone sarcastic, “The joint photos filling the drawers are indeed quite memorable, only now do I realize how passionate someone is.”

Lin Xu choked up, her eyes guiltily drifting around, “Right, I remember the butler brewed a pot of Puer Tea, let me pour you a cup!”

With that, she quickly walked towards the kitchen.

Her steps were hurried, her figure marked with a touch of panic.

Once in the kitchen, Lin Xu patted her chest, and after a moment, grew melancholic again facing the teapot.

“`

It seems that Lanyue’s plan didn’t work, huh.

Xie Changyan had no recollection of the villa at all, let alone the old photos together, and upon seeing them, he even got irrationally jealous and wanted to burn them.

Lin Xu sighed, poured a cup of tea, and then returned to the living room.

She looked towards Xie Changyan, and the next second, her pupils constricted.

Ji Yuqiao had popped up from nowhere, hiding behind Xie Changyan with both hands holding a heavy vase, as if to smash it on his head.

Lin Xu gasped sharply, hurried over, snatched the vase from Ji Yuqiao’s hands, pulled her aside, and whispered harshly, “What are you doing?!”

Lin Xu had always been gentle, and this was the first time Ji Yuqiao saw her with an angry face, sternly scolding her, which startled Ji Yuqiao and made her body shiver.

Ji Yuqiao, nervously fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, stammered, “I… I saw on TV… That if the head is hit, it might recover lost memories, so I wanted to try it…”

“The head is a vulnerable part of the body. What if you cause him serious harm or even death? What then?” Lin Xu felt a shiver even thinking about it and then advised, “What are those crazy TV shows you’re watching? They’re all lies.”

Ji Yuqiao said, “It’s the idol drama that second brother acted in.”

Lin Xu: “…Don’t watch it anymore.”

She would complain to Ji Zeqiu later that the idol drama he acted in was a bad influence on his sister.

While the two of them whispered behind his back, Xie Changyan turned to look over, “What’s happening?”

“No, nothing.” Both of them quickly hid the vase behind them, shaking their heads fervently as if guilty.

Xie Changyan glanced at them thoughtfully, then his gaze fell on the vase behind them.

Lin Xu handed him the teacup from the table in a hurry, “Ah, right! This is the Puer Tea I just poured for you. Give it a try.”

Xie Changyan stayed at the villa until the afternoon, only leaving after his assistant called to remind him of a meeting he had later that day.

After several hours, Xie Changyan hadn’t recovered any memories.

However, Ji Yuqiao seemed more determined than ever, encouraging Lin Xu, “Mother, don’t lose heart. I’ll find some more methods, and father will surely remember us!”

Recalling the incident with the vase, Lin Xu was still somewhat terrified and quickly cautioned, “Don’t try to learn from the scenes in idol dramas again; they’re deceiving.”

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing,” Ji Yuqiao nodded.

Lin Xu: “…”

Could someone who wanted to hit someone’s head with a vase really know what ‘being careful’ means?

Lin Xu suddenly began to feel uneasy.

In the blink of an eye, the sky grew darker with the night.

There was the sound of a car engine outside the gate; Lin Xu guessed it was probably Ji Tingyang coming home.

Lin Xu went downstairs to meet him.

At the sight of her, a smile appeared on Ji Tingyang’s stern face, as if a warm current flowed through his chest.

His lips just started to curve into a smile when he suddenly dropped it again, furrowing his brows, “Did someone come by today?”

“No,” Lin Xu denied.

“Then why are there three teacups?” Ji Tingyang looked towards the table.

She had been careless.

She forgot to clean up the teacups.

She hadn’t expected Ji Tingyang to be so observant.

“One of the teacups is the butler’s,” Lin Xu could only lie blatantly, then quickly changed the subject, “Oh right, do you know what this box is?”

Ji Tingyang’s attention was indeed diverted, he looked at the box in her hand, seemingly with a bit of recognition, “This seems to be something from father.”
