She really just doesn't want to give in, and she really loves him.
Shen Hong's conditions are very good, but in her heart, he has always been the best and has never changed.
Mo Xigu looked at her quietly, "Maybe we have reached this point because I didn't love you enough at the beginning. Today, I can't find the feeling of loving you anymore."
From the moment he listened to her explanation last night to now.
He never asked her whether she had ever interfered in other people's marriages, nor what was going on between her and Shen Hong, nor did he blame her.
However, this sentence "I can't find the feeling of loving you" is more fatal than any blame or unforgiveness.
… …
Chi Huan's hands were wrapped in rice dumplings. She couldn't hold either chopsticks or a spoon, and she had to be fed when eating.
Seeing that Mo Shiqian wanted to feed her but couldn't eat by herself, the servant aunt hurriedly walked over and said, "Sir, I'll feed Miss Chi, otherwise the dishes will get cold."
The man had already picked up the spoon, scooped the soup and fed it to her lips. He said lightly, "She likes it when I feed her."
Chi Huan, "..."
"I can ask Mother Li to feed me."
The man looked down at her and said, "Open your mouth."
"… oh."
She opened her mouth obediently and took a sip of fish soup. It tasted particularly delicious.
Chi Huan watched him take the second spoonful, slightly pouting his red lips, looking at him with black and white eyes, "Mo Shiqian, do you like me? Why do you have to feed me yourself?"
She was fed another mouthful of soup, but the man ignored her.
Chi Huan was bored and didn't bother to talk to him anymore. He only opened his mouth to eat and stopped looking at him.
After he finished feeding her, Mo Shiqian picked up the chopsticks and ate by himself.
He looked very good-looking when eating, elegant and calm, unhurried. Chi Huan watched from the side, pursed his lips and said somewhat uncomfortably, "Why didn't you ask the kitchen to prepare another one just now? It's already cold."
And it was all leftovers from her meal, even though she didn't eat much.
He raised his eyes to look at her and said calmly, "It doesn't matter."
Chi Huan said nothing.
She waited until he finished eating before she got up and followed him to the living room. She sat on the sofa and listened to the man carefully and methodically instructing Ma Li on how to take care of her.
Mo Shiqian's voice was very nice, low and clear.
Finally, he walked up to her with his coat in one hand, bent down and kissed her cheek, touched her head and said, "I asked Yue Lin to come over in the afternoon. If you need anything, ask Ma Li to call me. If your hands are like this, don’t bother with them anymore, eh?”
She curled her lips, dissatisfied with his statement, "It's not like I made my hands look like this."
"Well, wait for me to come back tonight."
Chi Huan raised his head slightly, looked at his handsome face, and nodded unconsciously, "I understand."
Mo Shiqian drove away from the villa.
She stayed at home alone. Apart from watching dramas, she couldn't even read a book. It was so leisurely and boring.
… …
Yue Lin arrived at the villa at 3:30 in the afternoon. At Chi Huan's request, he personally accompanied Chi Huan to visit Chi An.
Of course, the rice dumpling-like hands couldn't be hidden. Chi An saw it at a glance, "What's wrong with your hands?"
Chi Huan sat on the chair, her delicate and pretty face still expressionless, indifferent to the point of indifference, "I accidentally got burned."
"is it serious?"
"It will be better."
It was almost obvious that the relationship between father and daughter was not good. The main reason was that Chi Huan was very cold, while Yue Lin sat aside and quietly acted as an insignificant person without saying a word.
"Did your mother look for you?"
Chi Huan raised his eyes and looked indifferently at the man in front of him who seemed to have entered old age in just a few days. The white hair that was not very visible at first has now taken up half of it.
Traces of aging can already be seen, and even his voice is not as energetic as before.
"yes."
Chi An looked at the still young girl and sighed, "Do you still hate her?"
Chi Huan lowered his eyes and said softly, "Those are just words that an ignorant child would say."
"Huanhuan, I was the one who felt sorry for her back then..."
"I know you're sorry for her, that's your business," Chi Huan interrupted coldly, "Both of you are disgusting in my heart. She has a husband and children now. She doesn't need me, let alone you to speak for her. You Just mind yourself."
Yue Lin raised his eyebrows slightly.
He never knew that Chi Huan had such violence hidden in him.
Chi An frowned, "She is your mother after all. It's okay if you didn't recognize her before, but now that she protects you, you will eat less."
"I'm not as disgusted as you two."
"Chi Huan..."
"She wasn't here when I needed my mother. She didn't show up even after I almost died. I've long passed the time when I needed my mother, and I don't have the habit of acknowledging my mother and having relationships with her. You shouldn't be here to second-guess yourself, otherwise. You raised me, do you think I am willing to take care of your nonsense?"
Yue Lin looked at the once famous Mayor Chi, and estimated that if the conversation between father and daughter continued, Chi An would be so angry that he would have a heart attack.
He smiled and said to Chi An in a gentle and elegant manner, "You still don't have to worry about Miss Chi. Since she is Shi Qian's girlfriend, Shi Qian will naturally take good care of her and protect her. You also know what he is like."
After hearing this, Chi An's expression softened slightly.
In his life, he was not a good official, a good husband, a good lover, a good father, or even a good person. However, he had been immersed in the officialdom for many years and had met countless people. He knew exactly what kind of man was reliable.
Chi An didn't tell Chi Huan too much about what he had committed or how much money he had embezzled. They were all disgraceful and even dirty things.
Although Chi Huan didn't have a good impression of him a long time ago, as a father, he would never want his daughter to look down on him. He simply said that the family's house and deposits would be turned over, including the living expenses given to her, would be investigated. source,
He told her what to say if she was questioned and investigated, but with Mo Shiqian and Yue Lin here, they would stand in front of Chi Huan and handle it for her, so he didn't say much more.
On the way back to the car, Chi Huan looked out the car window in a trance, and suddenly asked, "Lawyer Yue, how long will my father be sentenced to?"
There was silence in the car for ten seconds. "I will try my best to keep the sentence within ten years."
… …
Yue Lin looked at the silent little woman with lowered eyes in the rearview mirror. Seeing that she was in a very low mood, he asked aloud, "Are you ready to go back now?"
Chi Huan nodded, "Yeah."
"How about we drop by Shi Qian's place and then you guys go back together? Anyway, your hands are like this, and you won't be able to do anything when you get home."
Chi Huan said blankly, "Huh? But I don't know where he works."
He never told her what he did.
She didn't ask further questions.
Yue Lin raised the corner of his lips and smiled, "I will take you on a raid, and... maybe I can catch a traitor. There are many more women who like Shi Qian than you think."
