Chapter 39 Nightmares and Conversations



If I hadn't experienced those things in my past life.

When Wang Dazhi, Xiaoduo's biological father, suddenly showed concern for Xiaoduo, Zhao Qinglan was only happy.

But she clearly realized that Wang Dazhi had never really cared about his daughter, Xiaoduo.

Otherwise, why would he allow his own daughter to suffer such hardships?

Even if he was afraid that she would find out that it was Wang Xiaofei and Wang Xiaoyan who did such a thing, he could still rescue Xiaoduo in private, at least to prevent her life from being so terrible and painful.

However, Wang Dazhi did nothing.

He didn't have any maternal affection for Xiaoduo back then, but now he does?

She did things that exceeded the Wang family's expectations. Wang Dazhi would only hate Xiaoduo more because of this. How could he possibly miss or want to see Xiaoduo?

The reason for saying this is probably because the real intention is not in the bar.

She quickly analyzed the situation and got close to the truth, simply because she had seen through the true colors of the Wang family and even her hypocritical ex-husband Wang Dazhi in her previous life.

When Zhao Qinglan read the letter, Da Wa and the others were at home.

She suddenly started to show anger, and the perceptive eldest child quickly noticed it.

He didn't dare to ask Zhao Qinglan directly, so he whispered to Xiao Duo.

"Xiaoduo, what's wrong with your mom?"

Xiao Duo looked up at her mother and shook her head. "I don't know either."

It took Zhao Qinglan a while to calm down.

She took out some stationery, about to write a letter, when she suddenly stopped, got up, and went to the next room.

"Qinglan is here, please have a seat."

"Sister-in-law, I want to make a phone call."

"Sure, go ahead and hit me, that's fine."

Zhao Qinglan walked over and dialed the garment factory's number directly, looking for Sui Wenjing.

When Sui Wenjing came over, Zhao Qinglan said seriously, "Sister Sui, I received the letter. If Wang Dazhi contacts you again, don't pay any attention to him."

"Qinglan, don't you want him to see Xiaoduo?" Sui Wenjing asked.

Wu Mei knew that Wang Dazhi was Zhao Qinglan's ex-husband, so she immediately perked up her ears.

"Yes, Sister Sui, I know Wang Dazhi very well. He might regret divorcing me, but not because he misses Xiaoduo."

"He regrets it, just because the Wang family lost a nanny like me who doesn't cost money and is easy to manage. He had been able to ignore Xiaoduo for the past few years. Has his fatherly love suddenly been awakened?"

"He only said that to you to gain your sympathy. Wang Dazhi is of bad character and has ulterior motives. I will not let him meet with Xiaoduo again."

Sui Wenjing was merely passing on a message; how things were handled depended on Zhao Qinglan's attitude.

Upon hearing this, she immediately began to consider his feelings. "Qinglan, you don't want him to see Xiaoduo, but he is, after all, Xiaoduo's biological father. Can you really stop him?"

"Sister Sui, don't worry, no matter what tricks he uses, I will take them on."

"Qinglan, don't worry, if he comes again, I definitely won't pay any attention to him. But you, don't try to tough it out if anything happens."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Zhao Qinglan hung up the phone.

"Thank you, sister-in-law," she said with a smile to Wu Mei.

Wu Mei looked at her with curiosity and inquiry, "Qinglan, are you in trouble?"

"It's alright, sister-in-law. It's just my ex-husband. Who knows what kind of trouble he's up to now?" Zhao Qinglan said without any hesitation.

"That bastard, Qinglan, don't be afraid. You're a military wife now. If he causes you trouble, the military will stand up for you."

"Yes, I know, sister-in-law."

After Zhao Qinglan finished her phone call, she returned and began teaching the children as if nothing had happened.

When evening came, while Zhao Qinglan went to wash up, Da Wa quickly went to his father's side.

"Dad, I have something to tell you."

Understanding that his son didn't want Zhao Qinglan to hear, Li Huai followed him into his son's room.

Li Huai closed the door and sat down. "Speak."

Erwa was still outside; it was just the father and son inside.

"Dad, that woman is acting strange today."

Upon hearing the woman's address, Li Huai was about to criticize his son, but upon realizing something was amiss, he immediately sat up straight.

"What's wrong?"

"She read a letter, seemed very angry, and then went outside."

"I understand. If you feel there's anything else wrong with her in the future, just tell Dad. Can you do that?"

"Mission accomplished!"

The eldest child was very happy to see that his father did not criticize him and even entrusted him with an important task.

Li Huai left with something on his mind.

What letter did Zhao Qinglan read? Was she very angry? Did she go out?

Because he suspected Zhao Qinglan, he didn't think there was anything wrong with telling his son to keep an eye on Zhao Qinglan's movements.

It's better to be safe than sorry; it's always good to be cautious.

He spends most of his days in the military camp, while his son spends more time with Zhao Qinglan.

Perhaps Zhao Qinglan will reveal more flaws when I'm not home.

After all, her son is young, and Zhao Qinglan might underestimate a child's lack of vigilance.

Perhaps because Wang Dazhi had developed feelings for Xiao Duo, Zhao Qinglan had a nightmare that night.

"Xiaoduo, Xiaoduo, no! Give Xiaoduo back to me!"

As soon as Zhao Qinglan started talking in her sleep, Li Huai was startled awake and quickly went to wake her up.

Zhao Qinglan was woken up by being pushed, her expression still showing pain and fear.

Li Huai turned on the light and saw her expression.

Seeing the young Li Huai in front of her, Zhao Qinglan realized that she had been dreaming.

However, she didn't speak to Li Huai. She immediately got up and ran to Xiao Duo's bedside. Seeing her daughter sleeping soundly, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Even so, she didn't go back to sleep in the big bed, but slept in the small bed instead.

Xiao Duo opened her eyes groggily, saw it was her, mumbled "Mom" and went back to sleep.

Seeing Zhao Qinglan's unusual reaction and recalling her sleep-talking earlier, Li Huai frowned.

After thinking about it, he decided to discuss the matter with her again tomorrow.

Holding her daughter, Zhao Qinglan finally fell asleep after a long time.

When morning came, Li Huai left at the usual time, but he returned earlier than usual at noon.

When they returned, Zhao Qinglan had just finished cooking.

After finishing his meal, Li Huai put down his chopsticks and looked over. "Qinglan, let's talk."

Zhao Qinglan was not surprised at all. She let the three children do what they could first, and then followed Li Huai into their bedroom.

If Li Huai didn't ask her anything after what she did last night, she would find it strange.

"Qinglan, did you have a nightmare last night?"

Zhao Qinglan nodded; she was about to tell Li Huai about Wang Dazhi's letter.

Li Huai suddenly said, "Qinglan, we are husband and wife now, we should trust each other, do you understand?"

Zhao Qinglan glanced over immediately. What did Li Huai mean by this?

"I don't know what's troubling you, but you must trust me and not hide anything from me."

"Li Huai, what exactly do you mean?" Zhao Qinglan frowned.

Her voice suddenly grew louder, and the three children outside heard it and immediately stopped what they were doing.

The three looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and curiosity.

"Are they arguing?" Xiaoduo asked worriedly.

"I don't know, why don't we listen to it?" the eldest child suggested.

Soon, the three little ones were all lying down outside Li Huai's bedroom door.
