Chapter 1700 - No Choice

Chapter 1700: No Choice

Huo Yunshen nodded and averted his gaze from Jing Xi. His eyes were focused on the kids that were playing.
“The kids love your present,” Jing Xi said. “Look at how happy they are now.”
“That’s good.”
Being able to hear his daughter’s laughter again soothed his heart.
Little Grape noticed his father was there and slid down the slide.
He ran to the door and shouted, “Daddy! Join us!”
“I’m fine. You kids have fun,” Huo Yunshen replied.
“But, I want daddy to play with us!” Little Grape begged.
“Why don’t you go? The kids need you,” Jing Xi urged.
“But… I…”
Huo Yunshen wanted to say that it would be weird to play in the playground as a grown man and a king.
“No one will laugh at you,” Jing Xi said. “You can forget that you’re a king and be a father when you’re with them.”
Huo Yunshen could not find any fault in Jin Xiaoxi’s words. He took off his shoes and went onto the playground.
Little Grape was happy that he got his father in but that wasn’t enough for him.
“Auntie Xiaoxi! Come on!”
“No, thanks. I’ll wait outside.” Jing Xi smiled.
“Come on!”
Even Little Apple ran over to get his mother to join them.
“Mommy, come play with us,” Little Apple said.
Jing Xi had no choice but to join them.
Huo Yunshen finally got the chance to play with his children. It was as if he had gone back to his past when he was happy.
Jing Xi also played with the kids.
She even took videos in secret to record the happy moment.
When they were finally satisfied, the kids were tired and hungry.
As soon as they left the playground, Jing Xi went to prepare snacks for them.
Huo Yunshen enjoyed his time with the kids. It might have even been the happiest he’d been in the past three years.
He completely forgot that he was a king and played like a kid.
Huo Yunshen unintentionally looked at Jin Xiaoxi, wanting to thank her, but his pride was stopping him from doing so.
Jing Xi suddenly remembered that Huo Sanyan wanted her to head to the office tomorrow and asked Huo Yunshen for permission.
“Is it okay if I leave around noon tomorrow? I have to go to the company,” Jing Xi said.
“Yes. You don’t have to inform me next time, just let Lan Yi know.”
“Okay. Thank you.”
Huo Yunshen left after that and the kids continued to play on the playground.
