He stared at the jade pendant silently for a long time, stroking it back and forth with his rough yet warm hands. His eyes slowly began to turn red. Chu Xi also felt a sense of empathy. This might be the only thought left to him by the mother he had never met. He didn't even know if his mother was still alive...
Chu Xi silently hugged her man's back, using her own warmth to comfort his somewhat lonely heart, the strong and stubborn heart that had lost his mother's love since childhood.
She was just thinking about explaining to her man the origin and reason of these jade pendants, but now she silently shut her mouth. She decided not to add to her troubles and just relax for a while.
The small hand touched the big hand, and slowly moved into the broad and thick embrace. At this moment, only tenderness could comfort and melt him.
Finally, Chu Xi told the source of it. This was related to his life experience, so he had to make it clear in order to find clues in the future.
"I, I didn't mean to anger them, but that old lady was really annoying. So I took out some of the things they hid while they were not at home. Otherwise, I really couldn't swallow this anger."
"Besides, I've already seen that the old lady is definitely not your relative. There's no way they could have raised a man as outstanding and handsome as you..."
The more she spoke, the less confident she became. Chu Xi's voice gradually lowered because she felt that the look in her man's eyes had changed a little.
"I blame you. I didn't know you had suffered so much before, and I shouldn't have ignored you. If I had known they were such people..."
As he spoke, Shi Peng suddenly raised his right hand and slapped himself hard. The sound of "pa" startled Xiao Shitou and Aqiu in the yard, and they looked over in surprise.
Chu Xi, who thought she might be criticized or blamed, didn't expect Shi Peng to not consider the "consequences" for that family at all. Instead, he cared about her, the instigator. You know, after that "taking" of things, her family was completely "bankrupt"...
Chu Xi was relieved and waved to the little Shitou who looked worried. After comforting him, the little Shitou's face looked a little better. However, he still walked over slowly, held one of Shi Peng's fingers with his little hand, and gently stroked Shi Peng's right cheek.
"Daddy, does it hurt? Let me blow on this little stone and it will stop hurting... huhu..."
His little eyes were filled with worry, and he no longer had the mood to play. Chu Xi tugged gently but failed to pull him away.
"Little Stone, be good. Daddy's fine. Go play..."
Chu Xi had no choice but to squat down and comfort him in a gentle voice, and patted Shi Peng after she finished speaking.
Shi Peng's dazed look did scare the child a bit. Seeing his child's worried look, he quickly squatted down and tried to persuade him kindly.
After a while, Little Stone was finally attracted by a small wooden figure that Chu Xi had taken out, and then he took A Qiu to play somewhere else...
They both breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other.
However, the repressed and self-blaming emotions that had just been there also disappeared, and the two of them could understand each other's hearts.
"Then you go early and come back early. I won't go back. It's not convenient to take all three of them with me on the road. You go back and think of a way to ask about the jade pendant. Are there any other clues..."
"Don't worry, I will ask properly this time!"
When he said this, Shi Peng narrowed his eyes slightly! His eyes were already filled with complicated emotions!
However, he also believed that with his many years of experience in fighting enemy spies, he would definitely be able to pry useful information out of those top-notch people.
"Don't worry about the family matters. I'll be back tomorrow, or at the latest the day after tomorrow. We've already got the jade pendant, so let's go straight to Kyoto. We can also check out the information provided by Liao Zhiqing!"
"Okay, let's go to Kyoto and have some fun. We can also check out some of my teachers there. I've been wanting to visit them for a long time. Of course, I haven't seen my parents in a while..."
Shi Peng touched his wife's black and shiny hair and smelled the sweet scent. He was intoxicated for a moment...
When I heard this, I suddenly realized that I had never met my parents-in-law and their family before. It was so embarrassing.
