He Yan's voice suddenly became a little loud.
Xiao Hua frowned, clearly displeased. She and He Yan had indeed become closer recently, but that didn't mean He Yan could act as her man and interfere in her affairs.
Xiaohua dislikes being interfered with in how she does things.
"This is my business, you don't need to worry about it. It's late, go to sleep, I'm going to sleep too."
Xiaohua originally wanted to say something harsh to him, "This is my business, it's none of your business, stop yelling at me like that." But then she thought about how she owed him a lot of favors lately, and she couldn't be both indebted to him and yelling at him at the same time, it would make her seem like she had no class.
"Xiaohua, trust me about the investment. I can definitely get you in. Don't go looking for him. Last time you were short of money and desperately needed it, you went to him, and he refused you, didn't he? Why put your face up and let him slap you again?"
For both personal and professional reasons, He Yan didn't want Xiao Hua to go see Zhou Musheng again. He didn't think Zhou Musheng was genuinely kind to Xiao Hua. If someone truly cared for another, they wouldn't refuse help when the other person needed it most. He just wanted to control Xiao Hua and make her listen to him more.
"Alright, I've already said this is my business. You don't need to worry about what I do. It's late, go to sleep!" Xiaohua was clearly getting impatient. He Yan wanted to say something more, but seeing Xiaohua's tightly furrowed brows, he knew that saying anything more would only make her more annoyed with him. They had finally managed to get closer over this period of time, and he didn't want this little thing to affect their relationship.
"Okay, I know you're annoyed, so I won't say any more. But I just told you that I can help you get investment. I hope you can consider it. Don't rush to find him. It's not that I don't want you to go to him, but I hope you won't be in such a hurry. Wait for my news."
He Yan wanted to persuade Xiao Hua again, but he only dared to touch on the topic and didn't dare to say anything more. Xiao Hua also knew that he meant well and she couldn't go too far and take his kindness for granted.
"First of all, thank you for your kindness. Secondly, I really don't need you to help me find any investment. That's my business. You just need to focus on your studies and take good care of the children. That's all, goodnight!"
Xiaohua didn't want to say anything more to him. She quickly went into her room and closed the door. He Yan sighed helplessly as he looked at the closed door.
He muttered to himself, "Why are you so stubborn? Can't you listen to me for a second? What's so good about that man? He only knows how to manipulate you and make you listen to him. Unlike me, when I see you're unhappy, I don't dare to say a word. I have to watch your expression in everything I do."
Xiao Hua went into the room and lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She hadn't really taken He Yan's words to heart.
But He Yan is right about one thing: the reason Zhou Musheng rejected her last time, but then took the initiative to find her and give her money, was simply because he wanted her to listen to him more.
She used to think that Zhou Musheng was a person who respected her, supported her, and understood her very much, but now she realizes that's not the case.
When she stopped listening to him, he began to become indifferent to her.
When He Yan woke up in the morning, Xiao Hua was no longer home.
Xiao Hua didn't know if he would go to see Zhou Musheng today, but a voice in his head told him that he would most likely do so.
He squatted on the ground, looking somewhat bewildered.
I had just woken up to find my dad squatting on the ground, doing something. I jumped onto his back, hugged his neck, and sweetly said, "Good morning, Dad."
He Yan patted Kang An's little bottom: "Good morning, baby."
"Sweetie, do you want Mommy to take you to kindergarten today?" He Yan asked.
Kang An answered crisply, "Okay, okay, I'll go to Mom's room and wake her up."
“Mommy left this morning. Why don’t you call Mommy and ask her to come back and take you to kindergarten?”
In fact, He Yan's purpose was very simple: to have the child call Xiao Hua back so that he could persuade her again and also take her to see Lu Zhan. If some things were said by Lu Zhan, Xiao Hua might be more convinced.
After hearing He Yan's words, Kang An took the initiative to call Xiao Hua. Xiao Hua answered quickly. When Xiao Hua heard Kang An ask her to come back and take her to kindergarten, she immediately guessed that this must be He Yan's idea.
Because she knew what kind of child he was, Kang An was always very well-behaved when she was away working and never did anything to bother her.
"Honey, can you tell Daddy to take you to kindergarten? Mommy has an appointment with Uncle Zhou this morning, and maybe I can pick you up from school tonight after I'm done with my work."
Xiao Hua deliberately mentioned Zhou Musheng on the phone, actually wanting He Yan to hear it too. She wanted He Yan to know that it was really none of his business what he wanted to do.
Make sure He Yan understands his place and doesn't meddle in things that aren't his responsibility.
Even if we assume, hypothetically, that she really has some kind of relationship with Zhou Musheng, it's not something He Yan can interfere with.
He hadn't done anything to wrong He Yan, after all, they had been divorced for quite some time.
He Yan himself hasn't moved on from this relationship and still wants to continue playing the role of husband.
After Xiaohua hung up the phone, he immediately said to He Yan, "My parents said they have to talk to Uncle Zhou about something, and she can't come back. They asked you to take me to kindergarten."
When He Yan heard that Xiao Hua had gone to see Zhou Musheng early in the morning, he was so angry that his lungs felt like they were going to explode. He grabbed the child's shoulders and said to her, "Baby, tell Mommy that your tummy hurts and you're not feeling well. Tell Mommy to come back and be with you right now."
Kang An's face immediately fell when she heard her father tell her to lie.
"That's lying, that's deceiving people. Children who lie will grow long noses. I don't want to lie or deceive people. Besides, when Mom talks to Uncle Zhou, it must be something very important at work."
I'm a good child. I don't want to bother my mom at work. Before, when my mom worked alone, my nanny would take care of me. Even if I wasn't feeling well, I wouldn't go to my mom. I know it's hard for my mom to work so hard to support me.
Kang An has always been very sensible, so much so that Xiao Hua feels heartbroken and sad. Kang An rarely causes Xiao Hua any trouble, which is the main reason why Xiao Hua was able to make a living with her in the past three years. Compared to other people's children, she is considered very easy to take care of.
