As soon as the words were finished, Leilei appeared at the door and called out, "Mommy, I brought my brother."
Ji Yunhuan and her sister-in-law looked towards the door and saw Qi Mo standing there with a stiff expression.
Facing his sister-in-law again made him feel very uncomfortable.
Leilei tightly held onto him, giving him no chance to escape.
Leilei dragged Qi Mo over to the sofa and made him sit down. Qi Mo, seeing his sister-in-law, remained silent.
His sister-in-law looked at her son’s indifferent manner and took the initiative to speak. "Still angry with ? After so long, are you still brooding over that slap?"
Qi Mo did not respond, just quietly listened.
His sister-in-law gently said, "If you really hate , then fine. Do you want to slap back?"
Qi Mo raised his head, glanced at his sister-in-law, and then looked away. "You know I can’t hit you."
He hadn’t lost his mind to the point of hitting his mother.
His sister-in-law said to Ji Yunhuan and Leilei, "You two go out. I have sothing to say to him."
Ji Yunhuan stood up, took Leilei by the hand, and led her out, closing the door behind them.
Leilei looked at Ji Yunhuan with so concern. "My brother and mommy won’t start fighting again, will they?"
"It’ll be fine." Ji Yunhuan could tell that her sister-in-law intended to reconcile.
She believed that with her sister-in-law’s intelligence, she’d be able to resolve the issue.
The room was very quiet. Even after Ji Yunhuan and Leilei left, neither his sister-in-law nor Qi Mo made a sound. The atmosphere was very awkward. Qi Mo couldn’t stand it anymore and stood up. "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going."
Staying in a room with his sister-in-law made him feel suffocated.
He couldn’t feel close to his mother as other children might.
His sister-in-law quickly spoke to stop him. "I have sothing to say to you."
Qi Mo listened and then sat back down.
His sister-in-law sat in front of him. Although she appeared calm, she felt more nervous than ever.
She composed herself and then spoke to Qi Mo. "I shouldn’t have hit you that day. It was my fault."
Facing his sister-in-law’s apology, Qi Mo showed no reaction.
His sister-in-law said, "You must think it was because of Fang Zihuan that I hit you, but Qi Mo, it really wasn’t."
"Wasn’t it?" Qi Mo’s voice was filled with disbelief.
Under those circumstances, with his sister-in-law so angry, how could it not have been because of Fang Zihuan?
His sister-in-law explained, "I just didn’t want you to get into trouble because of my issues. Fang Zihuan is not a good person. If he hurt you, what would I do? Do you know how I feel inside?"
"You know he’s not a good person, yet you still want to be with him? Don’t you think your words are full of contradictions?" Qi Mo looked up at his sister-in-law.
One sentence left his sister-in-law at a loss for words.
His sister-in-law didn’t know how to explain her relationship with Fang Zihuan. "It’s all in the past. If it weren’t for this incident with you, I wouldn’t have seen him for a long ti. If you think I love that man and are targeting him to hurt , it’s really unnecessary."
Qi Mo no longer planned to do such aningless things.
Later, Qi Cheng persuaded him a lot, and his elder brother also spoke to him a lot. So, he no longer wanted to do those aningless things.
Luo Sha left then.
After feeling heartbroken for so long, she wouldn’t necessarily co back.
Luo Sha abandoned him, and this had nothing to do with anyone else.
His sister-in-law looked at Qi Mo and said guiltily, "Qi Mo, I know I’m not a good mother. Because of my relationship with your father, I’ve done many things that have disappointed you. But Qi Mo, can you stop blaming us for these things? Even if one day, your father and I split up, we wouldn’t neglect you and Leilei. The issues between your father and have nothing to do with you two. Besides, don’t you see, your mother hasn’t left because she’s considering you and Leilei?"
"..."
In the evening, everyone was having dinner downstairs. The chef placed the prepared food on the long table, and the guests helped themselves.
Ji Yunhuan sat on the sofa to the side, noticing that Qi Mo’s attitude seed to have improved sowhat. He was no longer so defiant towards his sister-in-law.
It appeared that the communication between his brother and sister-in-law had worked.
Ji Yunhuan felt relieved seeing Qi Mo willing to communicate with others.
As Ji Yunhuan watched Qi Mo for a while, she sensed a pair of eyes on her. Subconsciously, she looked up and saw Bai Liyan standing beside the second-floor railing. However, Bai Liyan wasn’t looking at Ji Yunhuan; he was talking to Gu You.
Gu You was eating sothing brought from upstairs and asked Bai Liyan, "Do you want so?"
Bai Liyan glanced briefly.
Gu You said, "Let feed you."
She used a fork to offer the food to Bai Liyan. He indifferently looked at the food near his lips and took a bite.
"Tasty?" Gu You looked at him with a smile in her eyes.
"It’s okay."
Bai Liyan’s reaction wasn’t very intense.
After he finished eating, his eyes returned to Ji Yunhuan downstairs. She was tending to two children, with Su Zi accompanying them.
Just seeing her made his heart ache.
Gu You glanced downstairs, knowing that Bai Liyan had been staring at Ji Yunhuan all evening.
She couldn’t help but complain softly, "You keep staring at soone else. Your companion feels a lot of pressure. If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn’t have co. It’s so embarrassing to be ignored."
Bai Liyan sighed and looked at Gu You, "Should we take a walk outside?"
Gu You readily agreed to his suggestion, handed her plate to a nearby servant, and left with Bai Liyan.
The house was large, and Bai Liyan led Gu You on a leisurely walk. The garden, lit with palace lanterns, created a beautiful atmosphere.
She linked her arm with his and asked, "Are you really planning to spend your whole life thinking about her?"
Bai Liyan remained silent.
Gu You looked at him tenderly, "Dr. Bai, why don’t you try being with ? I’ve liked you since the first ti I saw you."
Bai Liyan stopped and looked at Gu You, "Don’t you think your words sound insincere?"
"Insincere? How could that be? I’m very sincere." Gu You giggled, "Don’t be so sensitive, okay? This ti I an it."
Gu You looked ahead seriously and said, "I really like you. I don’t mind that your heart belongs to soone else. If you’re willing to be with , I can’t promise much, but I assure you, you’ll be happier than you are now. I’ll do my best to make you fall in love with ."
"..." Feeling Gu You tighten her grip on his hand, Bai Liyan looked at her.
In his loneliest mont, fate had brought him Gu You from who knows where.
