Chapter 5: Fear That She Will Never Return
"Ah!"
Lin Xu had thought of many ways to convince Ji Tingyang, but upon opening her wardrobe the next day, she was distracted by the big issue at hand.
She realized she had no clothes to change into!
Until the third day, Lin Xu was still wearing the set of clothes she started with after her rebirth.
The clothes in the wardrobe still looked the same as they did twenty years ago, no different from a few days ago to Lin Xu, who glanced at them and then closed the wardrobe.
It wasn't until now, when she wanted to change her clothes, that she discovered all the clothes in the wardrobe had faded and yellowed, leaving nothing she could wear out.
"What's wrong?" Ji Tingyang heard her scream and hurried over.
Lin Xu was holding a red dress, looking pitifully at him, "I just bought this dress less than a week ago and haven't worn it once, and now it's already old."
She had planned to wear it to a dinner party in a couple of days, but now it was completely ruined.
"All the clothes inside are unwearable," she said dishearteningly.
Ji Tingyang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was something serious, "It's just clothes, you can always buy new ones."
Lin Xu looked at him pitifully.
Ji Tingyang quickly realized, "My bank card is in my room, I'll give it to you in a bit, you can buy whatever you want."
Lin Xu, moved, said, "My son has grown up, he can earn money to spend on his mom."
In the past, when she went out to pick dresses for parties, she would always be indecisive among several options.
Little Ji Tingyang would say, "Why not buy them all?"
Lin Xu would pretend it was difficult: "We're too poor to buy so many clothes, mom can only choose one."
The shop assistant glanced at the handbag worth hundreds of thousands in her hand and the limited edition Black Card, and kept silent.
If that's considered being poor, then oneself surely doesn't deserve to live.
But children don't understand these things, immediately feeling sorry for their mom and hugging her neck to comfort her, "Mom, when I grow up and earn money, I'll give it all to you, and you can buy as many dresses as you want."
Lin Xu kissed him on the cheek, smiling, "My son is really great."
In the blink of an eye, that child had grown up and even told her dominantly to use his card.
Lin Xu's eyes welled up with tears, moved.
After having breakfast, Lin Xu was eagerly waiting at the door for today's shopping trip.
Ji Tingyang handed her the Black Card, "Shall I have the driver take you?"
"Sure." Lin Xu didn't insist otherwise. Twenty years had passed, and she probably didn't even recognize the roads anymore.
"What's the limit on this card? It wouldn't be good if I maxed it out." She took the card, glanced at it, and casually asked.
"There's no limit, feel free to swipe it."
"Tsk, talk about having the aura of a powerful CEO," she teased.
Ji Tingyang smiled.
Lin Xu waved to him, turned around, and walked out, opening the car door.
This scene was too familiar, so familiar that Ji Tingyang's heart ached painfully.
It seemed like the last time he said goodbye to Lin Xu was just like this, waving, getting in the car, leaving, an accident...
After which his relatives reluctantly told him that his parents had gone to heaven and would never return.
With a heart full of bitterness, almost reflexively, he grabbed Lin Xu's arm.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xu asked, puzzled.
Ji Tingyang's mouth opened slightly, hesitant to speak.
He didn't dare say it was because he was afraid she would leave and never return, just like before.
Lin Xu blinked, guessing what he might be thinking, and suggested, "Why don't you come with me? So many years have passed, and I don't understand anything. What if someone deceives me?"
