After sending Qiao Jinglian off, Xu Qiu leaned on the door as if he lost half his life, and exhaled two long breaths while clutching his heart.
It seemed like lying wasn't something an ordinary person could do!
Xu Qiu gently shook his head, he looked at the exquisite box in his hands, his eyes flashed and opened.
Inside the box was a needle that had reverted to the past. It wasn't in exaggerated shapes and colors, but was simple and elegant. Even the crystals embedded in the petals of the magnolia were cream colored.
As his fingertips caressed the petals, Xu Qiu could not help but sigh in his heart.
Although he gave her the gift casually, he did spend a lot of effort on it. At the very least, she knew that she wouldn't be able to buy the exact same gift in the market.
Xu Qiu frowned, he closed the gift box and was about to go into the kitchen to help Aunt Wu.
However, just as he took two steps forward, the door behind him opened.
Xu Qiu was startled and turned to look.
coincidentally, her gaze met with Ye Xi who was standing outside.
"Mom ??" Ye Xi was startled for a second, then he jumped in happily and grabbed her arm: "Mom, did you hear the sound of the door being opened, and came out to welcome me?"
"You still need to welcome me at home? Are you a guest?" Xu Qiu looked at her in a
oyance, and said to Huo Yaoting who was standing at the doorway: "Yaoting, why aren't you coming in?"
Huo Yaoting smiled lightly and walked in, closing the door at the same time.
Xu Qiu frowned, he looked at the door thoughtfully, then turned and looked at Ye Xi who was rubbing her arm like a puppy, and asked softly, "Xiao Xi, when you came up, did you meet anyone?"
"Yes." Ye Xi nodded.
What?
Xu Qiu was shocked, she subconsciously glanced at Huo Yaoting, seeing that he was sitting on the sofa without a single change in expression, she frowned and asked Ye Xi, "You, the person you met, is, is ??"
"Neighbouring Uncle Zhang's family members met each other when they were entering the elevator for di
er." Ye Xi raised his head and looked at her, his small eyebrows knitted together, asking suspiciously, "Mom, why did you suddenly ask this?"
As Ye Xi was asking, Huo Yaoting also looked over.
Her eyes remained calm, causing Xu Qiu to become inexplicably nervous.
Xu Qiu's expression was rather u
atural, as she subconsciously reached out to crook her hair, "N-nothing."
Huo Yaoting stared at her hair curling movements, his long brows slightly raised.
Ye Xi saw and blinked his eyes. He felt that her actions were a little familiar.
"Xiao Xi, accompany Yaoting for a while. There's still some fish left, it'll be ready for di
er later." Xu Qiu said u
aturally, then rushed back to the bedroom.
Ye Xi stared at Xu Qiu's back, his eyes turning.
He then moved to Huo Yaoting's side and blinked his eyes, "Hubby, did you see that?"
"See what?" Huo Yaoting grabbed her hand.
"This is it." Ye Xi hooked his ear with his other hand.
Huo Yaoting watched as she did this in all seriousness, and nodded, "I saw it, what's the matter?"
"??" Ye Xi pursed his lips, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "My mother is the same as me, she hooks up her hair whenever she lies, it's probably inherited."
Huo Yaoting lifted his lips and laughed soundlessly. When she raised her head, his palm grabbed onto her small neck and fiercely kissed her lips.
"Ah ??" Ye Xi screamed in fear, she covered her mouth and turned to look at the kitchen.
Seeing that Xu Qiu and Aunt Wu were busy cooking, they did not notice him.
Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
Ye Zichen turned around and poked his arm in embarrassment.
Huo Yaoting stretched out his hand to hook her.
Ye Xi took a deep breath and crawled to the other side of the sofa.
Huo Yaoting caressed her long hair and muttered, "Where is your room?"
"..." "What?" Ye Xi opened her eyes wide and looked at him adorably.
Huo Yaoting wanted to kiss her again, so he endured it. His voice turned hoarse as he said, "Let's go, take your husband to admire your room."
boudoir?
A black line appeared on Ye Xi's forehead. He thought that it might still be some time before the meal started, so he decided to take him along.
Ye Xi's room was filled with the pink smell of a little girl. Her princess bed was covered with pink muslin, and half of her bed was made up from her hellokitty furry toys.
The wall at the side of the room was a white bookcase filled with books.
The room had a small balcony, on which was a round white table with a pot of green carrot on top, as if Xu Qiuqiu had helped with it while she was away, and a few lacy cane chairs around the round table.
There were even a few books on one of the rattan chairs.
The room was filled with the scent of a young girl, as well as the scent of books.
Huo Yaoting withdrew his gaze from the balcony.
He froze on the computer table. On the table, under a small lamp covered with pink lace, stood a photo frame.
Inside the photo frame, the girl looked to be about seven or eight years old. She wore a white T-shirt and a pink skirt. Her soft hair flowed down her face.
Her smile was sweet, pure and beautiful like an angel.
On her left and right were squatting down, a young and beautiful woman and an extremely ordinary-looking man.
The woman's long hair was tied carelessly behind her head, and she had a gentle smile on her face. However, her eyes were not cheerful, but filled with worry.
The man didn't look at the two. He was just laughing at the camera, which didn't seem natural at all.
Huo Yaoting walked in and used his long fingers to point at the girl's face. The corners of his mouth curled up as he looked at Ye Xi behind him and said, "Idiot."
Seeing the spot where his hand pointed, Ye Xi blushed. She ran up and hid the photo behind her, her bright eyes hiding the girl's shyness.
"Bring it here." Huo Yaoting frowned as he embraced her waist. After wrapping his other arm around her waist, he easily cut off the photo frame in her hand.
He took it and looked at it, then picked her up with one arm.
Ye Xi did not make any more noise, his large eyes stared straight at the man in the photo, his face gloomy.
Huo Yaoting sensed that and lowered his head to kiss her on the cheek, "Feeling sad?"
Ye Xi lightly traced his fingertip on the man's face, "I thought it would be better, but seeing it will still make my heart sad."
"Yes." Huo Yaoting's eyes turned slightly darker, "I am here."
Ye Xi smirked and nodded, "Daddy didn't go home often at that time, and when I miss him, I would ask my mom. Mommy always said Daddy was busy, so busy that Daddy didn't have time to come back. Now that I think about it, Daddy might not be that busy. "
It's just that there's another home out there.
"He was nice to you, wasn't he?" Huo Yaoting stared at the man.
The man had an extremely ordinary appearance. Although this was a family photo, he felt that he seemed to be out of place beside the two of them. From the looks of it, he was not really close to the two of them. At most, the smile on his face was merely a courtesy towards the camera, or perhaps ?? Disguise.
"Mm, he dotes on me. Every time we meet, he always takes part in my school's activities. Even though he doesn't come back often, every time he does, he definitely brings me a present. And every time I have a birthday, no matter where he is, he always comes back for my birthday... "
Ye Xi said as his eyes drooped down, "In my impression, Mom and Dad are very close, and never quarreling. My dad is very considerate to my mom, and my mom is very concerned about my dad, but now, I really don't know."
At the end, her voice changed to a faint choking sound.
Huo Yaoting's heart ached, he embraced her little body tightly, and patted her back with his big palm, "Xiao Xi, it's all over."
Ye Xi nodded in his arms.
Because compared to his experience, she was already considered happy.
If she was still sad, he would only feel a hundred times worse than she did.
Besides, he was right, it was all over.
The days to come were the most important.
Thinking of this.
Ye Xi let out a light breath, sat up straight in his embrace, raised her head, held his face with her hands, and said seriously, "Hubby, we will be together forever, right?"
Huo Yaoting's eyes were deep and burning as he stared at her. Each word was spoken, "No one can make us separate." Including yourself.
Hearing his words, Ye Xi laughed until his eyes curved, and then smacked his lips.
Huo Yaoting kissed her lips.
