Seeing Zhao Qinglan's strong reaction, Li Huai felt that he might have touched on her secret.
He didn't know that his words were the reason Zhao Qinglan reacted so strongly.
Trust? Does Li Huai feel that he doesn't trust him?
What a joke! The person I trust most in this world right now is probably Li Huai.
But he actually questioned and reminded her like this.
Since her rebirth, her first concern has been her daughter, Xiaoduo, and her second concern has been Li Huai.
If she hadn't wanted to make up for Li Huai's many regrets, why would she have married him with her daughter?
"Qinglan, if you want to talk, then talk; if you don't want to, then don't. There's no need to get so worked up," Li Huai sighed.
Zhao Qinglan didn't want to say a word at this moment.
It felt as if all the effort and hard work I had put in since my rebirth had been wasted.
She gave Li Huai a somewhat cold look, then got up and left.
As soon as the door was opened, three little ones came into view before us, too late to dodge.
But at this moment, Zhao Qinglan couldn't care less about any of that and walked straight out.
At this moment, all she wanted was to find a place to calm down.
Seeing her mother leave the yard, Xiaoduo paused for a moment, then immediately chased after her.
The eldest child looked at his father, who was still sitting there, and became somewhat unhappy.
"Dad, why did you make her leave?"
Although he still didn't want to call Zhao Qinglan "Mom," he was well aware of how kind and attentive she had been to him and his brother these past few days.
Even if Zhao Qinglan was just putting on a show, he still liked the feeling of having a "mother" looking after him.
"Children shouldn't meddle in adult matters," Li Huai glanced at his son.
"Hmph, my mom's gone, and now she's gone too. I hate you." With that, Da Wa ran off.
Erwa also felt that his father was wrong to drive Zhao Qinglan away, so he followed his brother and left.
Suddenly, only Li Huai remained in the Li family.
Seeing that his son had run away, Li Huai was stunned.
Has Zhao Qinglan become that important in their family in such a short time?
It's so important that her son has come forward to defend her and even blame his own father.
Unexpectedly, his own father had become a lonely figure, leaving him with very mixed feelings.
Having run into problems with Li Huai, Zhao Qinglan didn't want to go to Wu Mei's place next door, lest Wu Mei ask her about it and she wouldn't know how to answer.
She couldn't go to Wu Mei's place. She wasn't familiar with the other military wives in the family area, so she had nowhere to go and could only wander outside in the cold.
"Mom, wait for me!" Xiaoduo called out.
Zhao Qinglan stopped abruptly and turned around. "Xiao Duo, why are you out here?"
"Mom, I want to go with you."
Although she now likes her older brother and younger brother very much, her mother is her closest and dearest person, and she goes wherever her mother goes.
"Silly girl, it's cold outside. Go home. Mom will be back soon."
"No, I want to go too."
The eldest and second sons ran out and chased after them for a while before they spotted Zhao Qinglan and her daughter. The two brothers then followed at a distance.
"Brother, why don't you go over there?" Erwa asked, puzzled.
"What's the point of going back? This is fine." To avoid making that woman arrogant, he was just standing up for her, not acknowledging her.
Two little tails followed behind, and Zhao Qinglan noticed them not long after.
He waved to them from afar. "Why are you two out here too?"
Seeing that he had been discovered, the eldest son had no choice but to walk over.
"We're out having fun," the older child insisted stubbornly.
Zhao Qinglan smiled, not calling him out, but felt a warmth in her heart.
“It’s cold outside, why don’t you come with us to the grocery store?” she suggested.
"Alright then," the eldest child reluctantly agreed.
The three children, one big and three small, walked away side by side.
Occasionally, family members would see this and remark that Zhao Qinglan, the stepmother, seemed to have a good relationship with the two children she had left behind.
Li Huai only had time to come back at noon; his family had already left, so he didn't stay any longer.
To be honest, he had anticipated that his meeting with Zhao Qinglan would end badly.
But he never expected that when he actually encountered it, it would be like this, and he felt quite uncomfortable.
When Zhao Qinglan returned home with her three children and saw that Li Huai was no longer there, she breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, she never expected things to turn out this way with Li Huai.
I don't want to face him again anytime soon.
When Li Huai returned in the evening, there was food left for him on the table; the rest of the family had already eaten.
That's not all. He discovered that Zhao Qinglan had moved to sleep with her daughter at her son's place, while her two children, Da Wa and Er Wa, had moved to his place.
Some things you only cherish after you've lost them.
Thinking back to the hot meals he had come home to every day a few days ago, and the warm scenes of his family eating together, Li Huai felt particularly lonely now.
In the evenings, Zhao Qinglan used to bring him water to wash his feet and chat with him, but now, the person who used to talk to him is gone, and even his two sons have become indifferent to him.
The more Li Huai compared, the more upset he became.
He felt embarrassed to immediately contact Zhao Qinglan, so he looked at his son and asked.
"Big brother, tell Dad, what did you do after you left today?"
The eldest child put down the comic book in his hand and said with a serious face, "Dad, I'm giving up on your mission."
Li Huai was stunned for a moment before realizing what the "mission" was, and he was immediately at a loss for words.
"I'm just asking."
“You can’t even ask casually.” The eldest child’s attitude was very firm.
Li Huai had no choice but to look at his youngest son again.
Before he could even ask, the older brother gave his younger brother a warning look.
Erwa immediately turned his back to Li Huai. "Dad, I don't know anything."
