At night, Xia Xi and Xia Xuan slept in the same bed, just like when they were children.
Neither of them felt sleepy and chatted idly.
Xia Xi: "Xuanxuan, have you really thought it through?"
Xia Xuan lay on her side, her small face half buried in the pillow, and said softly, "Hmm."
Seeing that she closed her eyes after she finished speaking, Xia Xi sighed silently, put his hand on her shoulder, and was silent for a long time. He could only agree with her: "I will find time to talk to Chen Songbai tomorrow."
"Thank you, sister." Xia Xuan's lips moved. "It's my fault. Mom was scared today, too."
"Don't say such inappropriate things. Mom, my sister, and I only feel sorry for you and won't blame you. Besides, there's nothing wrong with you. Don't take other people's mistakes and put them on yourself."
Xia Xi stopped talking and the room gradually became quiet. She patted Xia Xuan's shoulders gently, like coaxing a child to sleep.
After a while, hearing her even breathing, Xia Xi turned off the lights.
Chen Songbai's parents came to make a scene today, which was unexpected by Xia Xi and disrupted her original plans. She had thought Miao Yijia would lose her temper and reveal her true intentions first, but who knew...
Wait, Miao Yijiajia?
She seemed to have overlooked the reason for Chen Songbai's parents' sudden visit.
Chen Songbai was determined to make peace with Xia Xuan and would definitely not drag his parents into this. He knew his parents' personalities very well. If they found out, it would only cause trouble for him and would not bring any benefits.
Seeing that her hopes were dashed, Miao Yijiajia found two heavyweight helpers for herself.
She underestimated Miao Yijiajia's methods.
She was a little worried. Xia Xuan was determined to get a divorce. If she really did, it would be exactly what Miao Yijia wanted.

The next morning, Xia Xuan was still sleeping. Xia Xi didn't wake her up. He went out quietly and washed up in the bathroom outside.
Xia Yue had already prepared breakfast, including porridge, buns, steamed buns, and corn.
Xia Xi filled a bowl of porridge and did not go to the restaurant. Instead, he pulled a chair and sat at the island counter to eat.
Xia Yue: "How is Xuanxuan?"
"Fortunately, I went to bed early last night and haven't woken up yet." Xia Xi picked up a bun, tore off a piece of the bun skin and stuffed it into his mouth.
Su Jinru didn't sleep well last night. She didn't come out of the room until Xia Xi finished breakfast.
Xia Xi stood at the entrance changing her shoes with her bag hanging over her shoulder: "Mom, sister, I'm going to work. Don't call Xuanxuan yet. We can eat whenever she wakes up."
Seeing that she didn't eat much, Xia Yue put a corn in her bag so that she could fill her stomach when she was hungry: "Be careful when driving on the road."
Su Jinru sent her to the elevator. Xia Xi waved her hand, took the elevator to the underground garage, and drove to the company.
After a busy day, with more than an hour left before getting off work, Xia Xi called Chen Songbai and asked him to meet.
Chen Songbai didn't refuse.
After get off work, Xia Xi reported to Xu Yanfeng and walked to a coffee shop near the company.
There were a few customers sitting scattered in the store. Chen Songbai had not arrived yet. Xia Xi sat by the window, ordered a drink casually, and waited patiently for someone.
In less than ten minutes, Chen Songbai came over, wearing a casual light-colored suit over a white T-shirt. He glanced around, found where Xia Xi was, walked over, and sat down opposite her.
Xia Xi: "What to drink?"
Chen Songbai ordered a coconut American coffee. Before Xia Xi told him about her intention to meet him, he said, "Second sister, if you're here to persuade me to divorce Xuanxuan, I don't want to hear it."
Xia Xi's expression paused.
Chen Songbai lowered his head and stared at the cup in front of him: "I won't divorce her."
"But you can't solve Miao Yijia's problem, nor can you change your parents' views. What's the point of your persistence?" Xia Xi said, "It will only bring deeper harm to Xuanxuan. She has been in poor health since childhood and has suffered too much. I don't want to see her sad because of you anymore."
Chen Songbai didn't pretend to be strong in front of her, and his face showed the pain of struggle: "It's all my fault. I know what kind of parents I have. I have lived under their control since I was a child. They gave birth to me and raised me. I can't leave them alone. I can only try to go along with them. Before getting married, I thought about not living with them. Xiaoxuan and I have our own little family, and there will be no possibility of conflicts. After getting married, I realized that my thoughts were a bit naive. My parents occasionally came over, and their dislike for Xiaoxuan was so obvious. At first, I advised Xiaoxuan to be patient and it would pass, because that's how I endured it. My parents' ideas are stubborn and they can't change. I can only endure it. It wasn't until Xiaoxuan's accident that I fully realized that tolerating will only accumulate conflicts, not make them disappear."
Because he lived in such a dull family atmosphere and had a mother who was "powerful" in every way, he was afraid of such women in his bones. The first time he saw the gentle, considerate and lovely Xia Xuan, he couldn't help but want to get closer.
Xia Xi is not Xia Xuan. She would not be moved by his confession and let it go. She looked indifferent: "You told me so much, but you still didn't tell me how to deal with Miao Yijia's matter."
Chen Songbai crossed his hands and pressed them against his forehead.
"I went to talk to her yesterday." Chen Songbai's voice gradually faded. Recalling the scene of their conversation, he was filled with a sense of powerlessness. "She cried when she mentioned that incident. I asked her what compensation she wanted, but she never said anything, only talking about the grievances and hurt she had suffered. I didn't dare to force her, for fear that she would do something stupid again. I... I..."
He was helpless.
Xia Xi leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms over her chest, and raised the corners of her mouth: "Let me ask you, how did your parents know about this?"
Chen Songbai looked up at her, was silent for a moment, and said, "Miao Yijia accidentally let the cat out of the bag."
