Mu Qiao ate absent-mindedly during the meal, and Liang Yue was taking care of the two children.
Liang Yue saw Mu Qiao's worries and asked her, avoiding the two children, "Mu Qiao, you were transferred from Yishui City to the Border Defense Military Region when you were pregnant. Where is the child's father? You never told me about this. What happened between you two?"
In the past, Mu Qiao would not have answered this question, but tonight was different. Her sixth sense told her that Qiao Lubai might have returned.
"When I was transferred to Yishui City, the child's father went on a mission. In order to prevent me from being alone and helpless for the rest of my life, he divorced me." Mu Qiao said calmly with a bitter smile on his face.
"Don't he know you're pregnant?" Liang Yue asked.
Mu Qiao shook his head. "I wasn't pregnant when he left. It was a month after he left that I found out I was pregnant. In order to let him perform his mission with peace of mind, I applied to be transferred out of Yishui City. I thought that if he could come back safely, he would definitely come to the border to find me and the child. But I didn't expect..."
Mu Qiao sighed, "Maybe I think too much."
"Did he come back to see you and your son?" Liang Yue thought, it's been five years, what kind of task would take so long?
Mu Qiao still shook his head, "Maybe something happened to him, so it's inconvenient for him to come to us."
...
...
"Maybe." Liang Yue didn't want to discourage Mu Qiao, but he still had to say something, "Will he remarry?"
This is what Mu Qiao can't accept the most!
But this problem cannot be ignored.
If they had not remarried, he would have known that she and he had a child, so even if he no longer had feelings for her, he should have come to see the child.
If he doesn't come, does that mean he can't come and is restricted by his current wife?
It seems like this is very likely.
The more Mu Qiao thought about it, the more he felt confused. He felt mixed emotions and really wanted to get drunk to clear his mind and stop thinking about it.
As an outsider, Liang Yue couldn't get involved too much and could only offer comfort as much as possible.
Mu Qiao is still rational. She will not let herself fall into the circle of her own imagination.
She is not alone now, but a mother of two children, and she has to think about her children.
So, she made a decision.
After Liang Yue left, Mu Qiao dialed a number that he hadn't contacted for five years.
The other party answered quickly, "Hello, who is this?"
"It's me, Mu Qiao."
Hearing Mu Qiao's voice, the other party was a little excited, and his voice trembled a little, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!"
"Hello, Heicheng." Mu Qiao greeted politely.
Hei Cheng was very excited, "Hello sister-in-law, it's been five years and you still remember my phone number. I'm really touched."
Mu Qiao said, "I've always remembered that I didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't call you. Sorry!"
Hei Cheng smiled and said, "It's okay. Even if my sister-in-law changed her contact information after she was transferred, I still can't contact you, and there are some things I can't tell you."
"What do you want to tell me?" Mu Qiao grasped the point and asked.
Hei Cheng hesitated for a while and organized his words. "It's like this, sister-in-law. Two years ago, Mr. Qiao disappeared. Before he disappeared, Daisy sacrificed herself to save him. Before she died, her last request was that Mr. Qiao remain faithful to her for three years. During these three years, he cannot remarry, and he cannot remarry you."
"She was on the verge of death after taking a bullet for Master Qiao, so Master Qiao had no choice but to agree to her request. However, Master Qiao disappeared in that battle, and there has been no news of him for two years."
Hei Cheng's words solved Mu Qiao's doubts. It turned out that Daisy sacrificed herself for Qiao Lubai, and Qiao Lubai promised to remain faithful to her for three years.
However, Heicheng said that there has been no news of Qiao Lubai since then, so is that leader in the military actually Qiao Lubai?
Mu Qiao had doubts in his heart and had to ask, "Heicheng, haven't you heard any news about Young Master Qiao's return in Yishui City recently?"
Hei Cheng was stunned for a moment, then said, "No, if Young Master Qiao comes back, he will definitely contact me, because before that battle, he told me that if he was lucky enough to return to Yishui City alive, he would definitely come to find me."
So that leader of the military department isn't Qiao Lubai?
Mu Qiao's mood instantly fell to the bottom.
After ending the call with Heicheng, Mu Qiao fell weakly on the bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, without blinking for a moment.
“Boom boom boom…”
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Little boy Qiao Yitian pushed the door open with a cold and handsome face.
"Mom, I want to ask you a question."
Looking at Mu Qiao who was lying on the ground, the little guy asked in a serious tone.
Mu Qiao sat up weakly, looking at the cold and handsome face of little boy Qiao Yitian, feeling even more melancholy.
"Ask." She replied softly, not in good spirits.
"Are you not feeling well?" Qiao Yitian is a kid who is very good at observing people's expressions.
Mu Qiao nodded, then shook his head.
This ambiguity made little boy Qiao Yitian a little confused, but he did not show it. Instead, he turned around and went out, poured a glass of warm water and brought it in.
"Mom, drink some water." His heartwarming gesture quickly comforted Mu Qiao's lonely heart.
"Thank you, Tiantian." Mu Qiao took the warm water, took a sip, looked at his son's cold and pretty face, and asked, "Tiantian, do you have any questions for mom?"
Qiao Yitian blinked his dark eyes and asked, "Mom, has my sister and I's father passed away?"
"No!" Mu Qiao answered absolutely, "Your father is still alive. He must be alive."
"Then why doesn't he come to visit us?" This is the thing that Qiao Yitian can't understand the most.
Other people's fathers accompany their children, ask about their well-being, and pick them up and drop them off at the kindergarten. Why can't his and his sister's father do the same?
Not only does he not do so, he never shows up.
"Because he is saving..." Mu Qiao wanted to use Zhang Qian's method to fool Qiao Yitian, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qiao Yitian, "Mom, I am not a three-year-old child anymore."
"Yes, you are a five-year-old child." Mu Qiao added to his words, forced a weak smile, and explained, "Your father is a soldier. He went on a mission five years ago and has not returned yet."
"Then why didn't he come back from the mission?" Qiao Yitian had a lot of questions tonight, as if he had noticed something.
Or maybe he kept asking because he heard the conversation between Mu Qiao and Liang Yue.
"He has to defend his country and eliminate the bad guys, so he can't come back." How could Mu Qiao explain it? After all, he is not Qiao Qiao for a day, and he is not so easy to fool.
"Dad is a hero." Qiao Yitian said this after a long silence.
"Yes." Mu Qiao agreed with his summary, but this hero included too much bitterness and too much loss.
"You're wrong, Dad is a superhero." At this time, the little beautiful Qiao Qiao squeezed in through the door with snacks in her arms, climbed onto the bed with her small body, and nestled in Mu Qiao's arms.
"Mom, am I right?" Qiao Qiao looked up and blinked her big watery eyes, asking Mu Qiao for praise.
"Yes, Qiao Qiao is absolutely right." Mu Qiao agreed with him and bent down to kiss her little forehead. The little girl giggled with joy.
Qiao Yitian looked at the intimate scene between his mother and sister and got goosebumps. He turned around, closed the door and left.
This little boy Qiao Yitian has such a strong personality. Mu Qiao and Qiao Qiao have gotten used to it and don’t care at all.
When the little boy Qiao Yitian went out, he went straight to the landline and called his aunt.
"Aunt, it's me, one day..."
