"Okay..." Yu Xiao answered in a low voice. In fact, she saw everything Kang Shaonan did and understood his painstaking efforts. But Fu Zihao's words before his death and An Jingya's words in the corridor kept lingering in her ears, and she couldn't forget them even if she wanted to.
"Then why did you divorce him?"
"… "
Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Yimo smiled: "Okay, then let me ask you another question! Just now you asked me, if Yaoyao is still alive in this world, she is disfigured and blind, will I still love her as before. Now I ask you, if Kang Shaonan is injured and can no longer take care of you, what will you do? Will you still be as determined to leave him as you are now? "
"No!" Yu Xiao answered without hesitation.
"You were reluctant to leave him when he was injured, so why don't you cherish him now that he is healthy?" Shen Yimo asked with a smile.
Yu Xiao lowered her eyelids, pursed her lips, and didn't know how to answer.
"Go back tonight and have a good talk with him. Don't always believe what others say. None of us can change what happened seven years ago, but you can choose your own path in the future!"
"Okay, I understand!" Yu Xiao looked at him and nodded gratefully.
When Yu Xiao and Shen Yimo finished their meal and walked out of the revolving hotel, they found Kang Shaonan standing not far away. When he saw the two people coming out, he immediately came over and looked at his wife and Shen Yimo: "Xiaoxiao..."
Shen Yimo looked at Yu Xiao and smiled: "The flower protector is here, and it's time for me to go home! Goodbye!" Shen Yimo nodded to Kang Shaonan and walked towards his car.
"Xiaoxiao, let's go home!" Kang Shaonan grabbed her hand and walked towards his SUV. Yu Xiao looked at his back, but did not refuse.
The two got in the car, which quickly left the hotel and returned to their new home.
Kang Shaonan didn't know how Shen Yimo talked to her, so he felt a little uneasy and chatted with her all the way.
“Are you full?”
"Um… "
"What did he want from you?"
"Help..."
"Shen Yimo is a nice person..."
"Um… "
"Did you go to the tea shop this afternoon?"
"Um… "
"Are you still satisfied?"
"Um… "
…
The car slowly fell silent, and neither of them spoke, each thinking about their own things. This situation continued until they got to the new house. When Yu Xiao changed her shoes and prepared to go back to the bedroom, Kang Shaonan stopped her.
"Xiaoxiao!"
"Hmm..." Yu Xiao turned around and looked at him.
Kang Shaonan looked at her and smiled, "Good night!" Then he went back to the guest room.
Yu Xiao stood there, watched the door of the guest room close, then lowered his eyelids and returned to his bedroom.
Yu Xiao got up early the next morning. When she got ready and walked out of the bedroom, she found that Kang Shaonan had already gotten up and even put breakfast on the table. When he saw her coming out, he immediately asked her to have breakfast. Yu Xiao walked over and sat down. She drank a mouthful of porridge and looked at Kang Shaonan across from her, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
"What do you want to tell me?" Kang Shaonan smiled at his wife and handed her a bun.
"You...really changed your job?" Ever since she heard him say that, she felt like there was a fishbone stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"I handed the report to the division commander, but he hasn't approved it yet!"
"Come back!" Yu Xiao said and lowered his head to eat.
"No! Unless you don't divorce me!" Kang Shaonan answered angrily like a child.
"You have to come back first, and we can talk about divorce later..." Yu Xiao replied with his head down.
"No! If you talk about it later, it means you still want to divorce me! I still have to change my career! I can't lose my wife just because I'm a soldier!"
"… "
Seeing that his wife didn't say anything, Kang Shaonan asked her tentatively: "Xiaoxiao, you just said we'll talk about it later. How long will it take? A year? Ten years? Or a hundred years?"
Yu Xiao looked at him unhappily, but his tone softened: "Do you think you are a tortoise? How can you live for a hundred years?"
Kang Shaonan laughed when he heard what his wife said: "Wife, did you just mean... that you don't want to divorce me?"
Hearing him calling her his wife again, Yu Xiao blushed, pretended not to hear, continued to eat her breakfast, and stopped talking to him.
Kang Shaonan smiled at his wife's expression. He knew in his heart that it was impossible to make her change her mind in a short time, but he finally saw hope. While eating breakfast, he watched his little wife giggle. Yu Xiao pretended not to see or hear and finished her breakfast. When she took her bowl and wanted to put it in the kitchen sink, Kang Shaonan snatched it away.
"Wife, don't move! You must not move! I can take care of these things! You are our national treasure now! Go to the sofa and have a rest!" Kang Shaonan put the bowl away and pushed her out of the kitchen.
Yu Xiao returned to her room, found her cell phone and called her mother to tell her that she would be home to see her parents soon. When Ren Zhiping heard that her daughter was coming, she nodded happily and kept reminding her daughter that when she came, she must let Kang Shaonan come with her.
When Kang Shaonan finished cleaning the kitchen and came out, he saw his wife standing a few steps away looking at him. He smiled and walked over: "Wife, what do you want?"
"I want to go home to see my parents..."
"Oh, then go ahead!" Kang Shaonan nodded and turned to go back to his room.
"My mother asked you... to go with me!" Yu Xiao whispered behind him.
"Okay! Wife, wait for me, I'm going to change my clothes!" Kang Shaonan turned around and grinned at his wife, then quickly walked into the guest room.
When the two went downstairs, Kang Shaonan took some tea and mountain products brought back from Uncle Ming and moved them to the car. After putting everything away, he took his wife back to her parents' home. Ever since the incident with his daughter Yu Xiao, Yu Jiahou was too embarrassed to ask the Kang family for money, and eventually declared the company bankrupt. All the cars and houses were mortgaged, but even so, they still owed a lot of debts. Fortunately, Kang Shaonan sent some money to the two people as soon as possible, so that their lives were not too hard. As soon as she heard that her daughter was coming back, Ren Zhiping put down her phone and immediately took the mop to mop the floor, cleaning the house inside and out.
Although Yu Xiao had heard Kang Shaonan talk about his parents' current situation on the way, he was still stunned when the car stopped in front of the residential building. The community was completely open, and the buildings looked very shabby, much like the dangerous buildings Yu Xiao had seen before. Going up the stairs, the corridor was full of debris that had been piled up for many years, almost blocking the windows of the stairs. It was bright daytime, but there was only a little light in the corridor. Because of years of disrepair, the voice-activated lights had long gone. The higher he went, the more depressed Yu Xiao became.
"Wife, don't be sad. This is only temporary. I found a house two days ago. I didn't have time to tell my parents because I went to Uncle Ming's place. Once the house is ready, let them move in." Kang Shaonan saw that Yu Xiao was in a bad mood, and hurried to comfort her from behind.
"Um… "
The house was on the fifth floor. Kang Shaonan's car stopped downstairs and Ren Zhiping saw it. Before Yu Xiao even reached the door, Ren Zhiping opened the door and came out with a smile. When she saw her daughter, she hugged her in her arms and said, "Xiaoxiao, you're back!"
“Mom…” Yu Xiao also hugged his mother, feeling very sad.
"I'm glad you're back! I'm glad you're back!" Ren Zhiping let go of her daughter, took her hand and walked into the house together, and Kang Shaonan followed her in.
Yu Jiahou was busy making tea. Seeing his daughter and son-in-law come in, he quickly asked them to sit down. Yu Xiao looked at everything in front of her, feeling mixed emotions and indescribable discomfort. Because they still had to go to the tea shop, the two sat for a while, and Kang Shaonan took Yu Xiao away again. When leaving, Ren Zhiping grabbed her daughter and asked Kang Shaonan to go downstairs first.
Ren Zhiping pulled her daughter back to the room and closed the door again.
"Mom, what can I do for you?"
Ren Zhiping looked at her daughter and smiled shyly: "Xiaoxiao, Mom wants to discuss something with you..."
"Mom, go ahead!" Yu Xiao looked at his mother and smiled.
Ren Zhiping coughed awkwardly: "Xiaoxiao, this is it, you know the situation between me and your father. Your father's health is not very good, and he can't make much money by working outside..."
"Mom, just tell me what you want to say! Is there no money at home?"
"I still have money! I haven't used up the money Shaonan gave me last time. I was thinking... you see, you have opened a tea shop now, right? It costs money to ask others for help. Do you think it's possible to let mom buy some shares in your tea shop? I promise that I can do a better job than those employees you hired. After all, we are a family. I can also help you collect money or clean the place. Xiaoxiao, what do you think... is it okay?" Ren Zhiping finally mustered up the courage to finish her words and looked at her daughter nervously.
"Mom, look at what you said. I can manage the tea shop by myself. I can definitely earn enough for you and dad's living expenses. Even if I am too busy, I can't let you work for me! However, the tea shop business may not be very good at the beginning, but you don't have to worry about anything. There are so many people helping me. I won't let you down. The conditions here are not very good. Shaonan has found a new house for you. In a few days, when my tea shop opens and stabilizes, you can move there. You don't have to worry about anything else. Everything will be fine. When my tea shop business is good, you and dad can enjoy a good life at home."
“Xiaoxiao…” This was the first time her daughter had been so sensible since she grew up. Hearing her daughter’s words, Ren Zhiping’s tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
"Mom, it's okay! It's okay!" Yu Xiao reached out and hugged her mother, patting her back and comforting her softly: "Everything will be fine! As long as you and Dad are in good health, it's better than anything else!"
"My dear daughter... Mom is sorry..." Ren Zhiping felt even more guilty after listening to her daughter's words. Tears kept falling. There were many things she wanted to say but she didn't have the courage to say them.
"Mom, what are you talking about? I am your and dad's daughter, and I should do whatever I do." Yu Xiao said as she pushed her mother away, raised her hand and wiped the tears from her mother's eyes with a smile: "Mom, I'm pregnant with your grandson. If you cry again, they will cry with you."
