After taking Yaoyao after taking a shower, Xi Moting carried her to bed, leaned against the head of the bed, and took a story book to tell her stories.

But what he said was not vivid and had no feelings because he was always distracted.

Yaoyao naturally couldn't listen.

"Dad, I made my mom angry today." She looked up at Xi Moting and said with an uneasy look on her face.

Although Qiao Nian taught her a lesson and she was very sad, she missed Qiao Nian again afterwards. Even if the people outside treat her well, they could not shake Qiao Nian's position in her heart. After all, she grew up with Qiao Nian since childhood, and Qiao Nian was her closest mother.

Xi Moting put down the storybook in his hand and sighed.

"Have you ever made your mother angry before?" he asked looking at Yaoyao.

"Yeah." Yaoyao nodded, "When I was disobedient, my mother would teach me a lesson, but she soon forgave me."

Xi Moting chuckled, touched her hair, and said, "Then it's the same this time. If you sleep well, your mother will not be angry tomorrow."

"Really?" Yaoyao was half-believing and half-doubting.

"Of course, dad won't lie to you." Xi Moting said with a smile.

Yaoyao finally had a smile on her face. She quickly closed her eyes, hoping that it would be dawn so that she could see her mother smiling at her.

Xi Moting looked at Yaoyao slowly falling asleep, bent down, kissed her on the forehead, then got out of bed and left the room.

...

After coming out of the room at Yaoyao, Xi Moting searched the villa up and down, but he could not see Qiao Nian.

His heart skipped a beat. Qiao was thinking about everything in the room, and his cell phone and bag were there. Mrs. Li said she didn't see anyone going out.

Xi Moting thought about it and went to the small attic on the third floor again.

The door was pushed open with a creaking sound, and there was no light on inside, but the moonlight shone in from the circular window, and could barely see clearly.

This small attic is filled with some miscellaneous items, and few people come, so Xi Moting finally thought of this.

He found the light switch, and with a snap, the attic became bright.

Qiao Nian was sitting on the floor next to the window, burying her head in her knees.

Xi Moting walked towards her and said, "Get up, the ground is cold."

But Qiao Nian didn't move at all.

Xi Moting had no choice but to lean over to pull her. Qiao Nian resisted his touch and could not resist his strength. She could only struggle to shake off his hand and stood up by herself.

Under the bright light, Qiao Nian's swollen eyes and nose had nowhere to hide, and she was too lazy to hide it.

Xi Moting couldn't help but frown when he saw it, and his heart suddenly became tight.

"You are like Yaoyao, and you will cry after a few words of scolding." He said half-jokingly.

There was a hint of teasing and pity in his tone.

Unfortunately, Qiao Nian was not in the mood to analyze these things, just lowered her eyes and had a cold face, and didn't even want to look at him.

Xi Moting naturally noticed this.

Looking at her stubborn and pitiful appearance, his heart softened.

"I admit that I was wrong just now. I apologize to you. I just can't bear to leave the child." He pulled her over, took her into his arms, patted her on the back, and said, "It's me who protects her. Waste is indeed not a good habit. If you scold her next time, I will definitely not interfere."

His sound of apology made Qiao Nian's nose sore and tears flowed out again.

Xi Moting wiped her tears and felt like the woman was made of water.

But in Qiao Nian's heart, the reason why she cried in front of him was because he gave her too much grievance. He doubted her and even despised her character.

A few understatement of apology could not heal the wounds in her heart.

But she didn't want to cry in front of him all the time, as it would only make her too timid.

"You don't have to apologize to me, there is no need for none of us to apologize to anyone." Qiao Nian pushed him away and said coldly.

Xi Moting looked at her with a frown, "Are you angry with me?"

"How dare I?" Qiao Nian sneered.

Who is angry? She has ignored her for so many days and always takes Yaoyao to Xi’s house. Even though she knows that she minds, she still does this. Has she said anything?

Thinking of this, she felt even more sour and uncomfortable, but she gritted her teeth and held back her tears.

Xi Moting was at a loss by her cold look. He took a breath and calmed himself down.

"Qiao Nian, we are husband and wife now, so if there is any problem, you should solve it. Your attitude of escaping is wrong." Xi Moting looked at her and said seriously.

After hearing his words, Qiao Nian finally looked up and took a good look at him.

"Is it me alone that I can fight for so many days alone?" She looked up in his eyes and accused him.

"That's because I'm waiting for your apology." Xi Moting's expression was slightly deeper and his voice was raised. "I did something wrong, and I will apologize to you, but what about you?"

His deep eyes were filled with a hint of disappointment, Qiao Nian's arrogance was instantly depressed, and the object of the accusation also changed from her to Xi Moting.

"Do you think I'm fine for so many days? On the contrary, I was tortured by your words and couldn't sleep. Why did you say that? Are you really marrying me just to disgust my mother? What do I think in your heart? Just tell me clearly today."

His principles of dealing with things have always been like this. Whoever makes a mistake should take the initiative to stand up and take responsibility. But he doesn't understand that this principle will not apply to marriage.

He had been waiting for so many days, but he didn't wait for Qiao Nian to say a word of sorry. Could it be that she hurt him first?

Qiao Nian rarely sees Xi Moting like this. He rarely says so many words in a series of ways. He wants to ask for an understanding, but she wants to lie to him.

"Yes, I married you just to disgust your parents." She said in one breath. It was difficult to say anything and hurtful. She saw Xi Moting's brows frowned and her face looked even more ugly.

"But this does not affect my love for you. I marry you because I love you. You are very important in my heart." Qiao Nian looked at him and said seriously.

This is what she said in her heart and her sincerity, and he should not doubt it.

"Haha." Xi Moting suddenly sneered, "You love me so much. While loving me, you are using me to hurt my parents. Qiao Nian, where do you do this, and what do you want me to choose in the end?"

Qiao Nian looked at him in a daze and shook her head. She didn't know, she really didn't know.

"Can't you forgive them for my sake?" Xi Moting felt a little lucky.
