Xiao Ran, who was standing next to her, was surprised that Yan Xici would say such a thing in front of her boss, and her heart melted instantly.
I know Yan Xici's personality better than anyone else.
I've always been like a quail; I get terribly scared at the slightest thing.
But ever since she got together with me, no matter what happened, she always stood firmly by my side. Her heart and her personality were always unconditionally biased towards me.
It takes immense courage for someone with her personality to do something like this.
Xiao Ran reached out and took her hand in his palm.
It was still that same scorching temperature, that familiar and reassuring temperature.
The girl felt inexplicably relieved and responded with a slight effort.
It's as if it's saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
I will definitely protect you!
Xiao Ran pursed his lips, his expression serious and earnest. "Dad, you've seen it too. Xi Ci and I are truly in love."
When I was little, my parents always bought me shoes that were much too big so that I could wear them for longer.
Xiao Ran was only three years old at the time and could not walk steadily. In order to walk faster, he would always take off his shoes and go barefoot.
Everyone laughed at me, even my mother scolded me.
Only his father smiled and told him, "It's nothing, young man. After all, your feet are more important than your shoes. Your own comfort is the most important thing!"
Only when your feet are comfortable can you walk better and run faster.
From then on, Xiao Ran understood the importance of shoes fitting well.
Yan Xici was like the perfect shoe to him, and he didn't want to throw her away.
Xiao Shengrong pursed his lips, sighed after a long while, pointed at Xiao Ran, then at Qiu Yuru, "You two..."
I don't know if it's because I drank too much or because I was angry earlier, but my head is buzzing and I feel a little short of breath.
He just wants to lie down for a while right now.
Seeing him stand up, Qiu Yuru quickly helped him up.
"Slow down."
"It's alright, I'm going to take a rest. It's getting late, you guys should take a nap too."
After Xiao Shengrong finished speaking, he walked towards his bedroom.
Xiao Ran originally wanted to follow, but Qiu Yuru waved her hand at him, signaling with her eyes that he shouldn't come.
No one knows your spouse's personality better than yourself.
Besides, the fact that he hasn't started swearing is already quite an achievement; he should be given some time to calm down.
If this had happened to me, I wouldn't be a Qiu if she didn't make a scene about divorce today!
Yan Xici held Xiao Ran's hand, her eyes filled with worry.
To be honest, she was a little worried about her uncle's health.
Xiao Ran squeezed her wet little hand in response.
If Dad needs to rest, then let him rest. After all, his grandson is gone just like that, and no one can accept that.
Xiao Shengrong sat on the bed, staring at the wallpaper on the wall, his expression unreadable.
Qiu Yuru squatted down next to him, grasped his hand, and looked at him with guilt in her eyes, "I'm sorry."
He hurt his wife for the sake of his son's happiness.
She knew she had done something wrong, but only she could truly understand the helplessness she felt.
Xiao Shengrong sighed.
To be honest, I'm not angry anymore.
I simply don't want to talk.
After all, people feel this way when they're feeling down.
But since she insisted on telling him, he had no choice but to have a serious talk with her. He looked at Qiu Yuru with a puzzled expression.
Why did you lie to me?
Qiu Yuru looked up at him and said, "Isn't it because I was afraid you wouldn't agree? You saw how loving the two children are?"
“Xiao Ran is not only your son, but also my son. I want the best for him, just like you do.”
"I'm sorry, I only thought about my son and didn't consider your feelings."
As Qiu Yuru spoke, she felt increasingly distressed, and her eyes even reddened.
She really didn't mean to do this!
Xiao Shengrong felt a pang of sympathy seeing his aggrieved expression.
He said helplessly, "Alright, why are you making it sound like I lied to you? The children are waiting outside, you should go out."
"And what about you?" Qiu Yuru asked worriedly.
"I'm going to take a break; I've had a bit too much to drink."
Drinking baijiu (Chinese liquor) isn't just about how much you can drink; it's also about your mood.
When I'm in a good mood, it seems like I can drink as much as I want, but if I'm even slightly unhappy, I can get dizzy in an instant.
After he finished speaking, he lay down directly, closed his eyes, and pretended to be going to sleep.
"Okay, I'll get you a glass of water."
"Warm water! That kid Xiao Ran almost scalded me to death just now!"
"Okay, got it."
After Qiu Yuru finished speaking, she quietly walked out, closing the door behind her.
As soon as she turned around, she met Xiao Ran and Yan Xici's tense gazes.
"How is Dad?" Xiao Ran asked anxiously in a low voice from outside the door.
Qiu Yuru said softly, "Your dad just drank a little too much."
You know your spouse best. The fact that Xiao Shengrong complained that the water Xiao Ran poured was too hot proved that he was truly not angry anymore.
After saying that, he glanced at Yan Xici and then said, "You two should go and rest too. You must be tired from driving all morning."
Yan Xici clenched her little hands, her eyes filled with nervousness.
"Is Uncle really not angry anymore?"
If this had happened to her own father, she felt he would have turned the world upside down!
Out of worry, the girl's forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat.
