379 The Truth (Part 1)
Li Xiangjun’s arms didn’t have the strength to hold the child, so Fang Tianliu took Ningning from Madam Qin’s arms instead.
“Xiangjun, look.” Fang Tianliu carefully pulled down the child’s swaddling clothes, revealing the child’s face. “Madam Qin and the others all say that this child looks like you. Look at how beautiful she is.”
Li Xiangjun looked at her and couldn’t bear to look away.
“She’s so thin, so small, and a little pale.” Li Xiangjun’s eyes moved down from the child’s forehead. “It’s all my fault. My body isn’t in good condition, so she’s so thin and small. However, I feel that this child looks like you instead.” Li Xiangjun reached out her finger and touched her nose carefully. “Look at her nose and mouth, don’t they look like yours?”
!!
“No way, I’m not as pretty as her.”
Fang Lioning, who was in Fang Tianliu’s arms, yawned and slowly opened her eyes. She had grown up in Li Miao’s arms and slept beside her at night. She was not familiar with Fang Tianliu and Li Xiangjun’s smells. She had just woken up and was hungry. She couldn’t find anything to eat, so she pouted and started crying.
Fang Tianliu was flustered.
“Tianliu, carry her to me and put her on my lap. I’ll use my hands to protect her and won’t let her fall.”
Fang Tianliu looked at Li Xiangjun hesitantly.
“Look at her, her face is red from crying.” Li Xiangjun was anxious. “I need to soothe her.”
“Why don’t we… We can send her to Li Miao instead? She’s used to her. ”
Li Xiangjun seemed to have been splashed with a basin of cold water.
Fang Tianliu realized that he had said something wrong and quickly placed the child on her lap. He stretched out his hands to protect her from falling down. “I’m just worried about your body, it wasn’t meant in any other way.”
Li Xiangjun was careful.
Luoning was so small. Her face had grown a little chubbier, but compared to Zhao Nian, who was one month old, she was a whole rock smaller.
“Don’t cry…”
She was self-taught and patted the child’s back with a gentle expression.
Fang Luoning’s head turned in all directions, then she buried herself in Li Xiangjun’s arms.
“Is she hungry?” Li Xiangjun finally reacted.”Why don’t we… It’s better to give her to Li Miao and let her eat soon.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Luoning stopped crying.
Li Xiangjun hurriedly carried the child in her arms. Fang Tianliu was afraid that she would tire her arms out, so he also reached out to hold her.
“She smiled.”
Li Xiangjun looked at her and laughed.
She had been unconscious for a while, so her clothes were light and close-fitting. When she lowered her head, the skin on her neck was clearly exposed.
The wounds were still terrifying.
Fang Tianliu’s eyes subconsciously drifted over.
“I scalded these scars myself.” Li Xiangjun noticed that he didn’t avoid his gaze. Her eyes were fixed on the child’s face without looking up. She was still a little afraid of sharing about her past.
“Back then, I was married into the Lin family.”
Fang Tianliu raised his eyes in shock.
“The Lin family?”
The Lin family that was based in Bei City were…
“Xiangjun, were you forced to do that?”
“I wasn’t forced.” Li Xiangjun shook her head. Her eyes fell on Luoning with a blank look. “It was my choice.”
“When I first arrived in Bei City, I found out that I was pregnant.” Li Xiangjun thought of the pain when she was injured and her eyes shrank.
“My soon to be husband did not really like me. I knew that he could not tolerate women being injured, so I got injured when I argued with him.
“I wanted to injure my forehead, but I forgot how strong I was and knocked over the teapot on the table.
“It was a good thing that I had my head down at that time, so the hot water didn’t splash all over my face.”
“So, you broke up with me because that guy forced you to marry him?”
Li Xiangjun shook her head again.
Fang Tianliu controlled his temper, afraid that he would hurt her again if he spoke louder. “What did he use to threaten you?”
Thinking about how Li Xiangjun had not mentioned Manager Li’s existence until now, Fang Tianliu could not help but blame him.
“Was it because of Manager Lin?”
“Yes, my father was the one that sold me off.”
Li Xiangjun still felt indignant when she mentioned what her father had done. “Even now, I still don’t know what he has against my father.”
“My father made a contract in private and sold me off to him. At that time, I thought that my father and that person were conspiring to…”
