Chapter 177 Little Fool
"Aunt Liu?" Xu Qiu asked.
Ye Xi nodded, "He hired a servant."
Xu Qiu laughed, "Who is he?"
Ye Xi wrinkled his nose at her, "You asked even though you already know the answer."
Xu Qiu shook her head. She didn\'t have any appetite at the moment, but she couldn\'t bear to touch her daughter\'s heart either.
"How is it?" Ye Xi asked while blinking his big eyes, as if he was offering a treasure.
Xu Qiu did not manage to taste anything, but he still nodded his head, "It\'s very delicious!"
"Then eat more!" Ye Xi giggled as he continued to feed her.
Xu Qiu looked at the mountain in his bowl, his face filled with black lines. He laughed helplessly, "Xiao Xi, are you a mother pig?"
Ye Xi was startled, he looked at the small bowl in front of her.
He realized that he had inadvertently filled the small bowl in front of her.
In an instant, she blushed in embarrassment as she moved the food that was caught between the chopsticks and was about to be placed into her bowl into her own bowl.
"Idiot!" Xu Qiu laughed.
Ye Xi rushed into Xu Qiu\'s embrace, "Mom, you can\'t insult my intelligence!"
"Haha ??" Xu Qiu hugged Ye Xi and patted him, "In mother\'s eyes, you only have the IQ of a bottle eater, you don\'t need to be insulted."
"??" Black lines appeared on Ye Xi\'s face. Was it really his own flesh and blood?!
After di
er, he cleaned up his things and took a shower. It was almost 11 P.M. by the time he went to bed.
Ye Xi hugged Xu Qiu\'s elbow, and placed his little face against her arm. His eyes stared blankly at a certain point, and didn\'t say anything.
Xu Qiu pretended to think in his heart, as his hands lightly patted the small hands of Ye Xi who was wrapped around her arm, and he also didn\'t make a sound.
After an unknown period of time.
Ye Xi suddenly raised his head, looked at Xu Qiu, and finally asked: "Mom, who is that man?"
"??" Xu Qiu\'s figure trembled, and passed by in a panic. He tilted his head and looked at Ye Xi\'s bright and curious eyes, and his lips faintly trembled.
His throat felt as if it had been choked by a small invisible hand, making no sound at all.
How could she tell her the man\'s identity?
It was time to tell her that the man was the culprit who had killed her uncle and grandmother, their enemy.
Or should he tell her that the man was actually ??
Ye Xi stared at Xu Qiu\'s complicated eyes which had multiple emotions flashing across them. He became even more suspicious, "Mother, you knew each other before right?"
Xu Qiu\'s eyes flashed with pain and bone-deep hatred as his lips turned white.
How she thought. She had never met him!
Ye Xi took in the pain and hatred in Xu Qiu\'s eyes, and looked at her pale and trembling lips.
Unable to bear it any longer, Ye Xi pursed his lips, "Mom, if you don\'t want to say ??"
"Xiao Xi, the man you saw today was a friend of mine when I was young. Because I was young and stupid, I did something wrong and there was a gap between us. "
"After not seeing her for twenty years, I thought that the events of that year had turned into dust with the passing of the past twenty years, and had disappeared with the wind. He didn\'t expect that when he saw her again, he would still be unable to let go of that old matter. So what you saw today between him and me was actually not as serious as you thought. "
"So don\'t be afraid, Xiao Xi, those harsh words he said couldn\'t be true. After all, when he and I were young, we could be considered as... Friend. He won\'t... I won\'t have the heart to harm you. Actually, he\'s not that bad! "
Xu Qiu didn\'t know why she had said that;
How repulsive was this man\'s appearance? His methods were sinister and vicious.
She should tell her that man was a heartless, devil-may-care creature!
However, she couldn\'t think of a single word to say.
He didn\'t mean what he said!
Ye Xi stared at her.
I wanted to ask her.
If that man really just said those harsh words, it wouldn\'t harm her at all.
So why was she so scared?
But the words were only on the tip of his tongue.
Seeing the complex expression on her face as she tried to glorify the man, she was unable to say it out loud, unable to bear it any more.
Ye Xi moved closer to her and hugged her arm even tighter, "Mom, I\'m really not afraid, really!"
"Yeah, my Xiao Xi is the strongest." Xu Qiu kissed her forehead, her clear eyes filled with love.
Ye Xi slightly hooked his finger at her, then lowered his head, his long eyelashes covering the emotions in her eyes. After a long while, he opened his mouth, "Mother, that man, why did he call you Lan?"
As soon as Ye Xi finished speaking, he felt Xu Qiu\'s entire body shake violently.
Ye Xi was shocked, he worriedly raised his head and looked at her.
Xu Qiu\'s face did not have the slightest bit of color, her eyes were filled with pain and evasion. She twitched her face and anxiously pulled Ye Xi\'s arm that was wrapped around her arm.
Ye Xi saw that her heart was tight, and couldn\'t help but to move closer to her, wanting to hug her.
But just as she approached.
She then moved to the side and said with a trembling voice, "Xiao Xi, go to sleep. Mom\'s tired."
"??" Ye Xi frowned, he stared at her back for a while, then leaned towards her.
This time, she didn\'t avoid her.
Ye Xi hugged her from the back, holding her very tightly as he stuck his face to the back of her head, "Mother, if you don\'t want to say it, then don\'t. I won\'t ask anymore."
She understood that everyone had a minefield that they didn\'t want others to encounter. Perhaps this was her mother\'s minefield.
If he touched it once, it would make her suffer once. She would rather never touch it!
Even if this problem continued to haunt her.
She would never touch it again!
Xu Qiu did not speak.
Only, at a place where Ye Xi couldn\'t see it, the tears had long ago turned into a river.
She would bear all those sins by herself!
It was already past midnight, and in the quiet bedroom, only two shallow sounds of breathing could be heard.
Ye Xi did not sleep. She knew that the Xu Qiu in front of her also did not have one either.
But neither of them spoke.
The air current that was created beside the two of them was indescribably heavy and heavy.
This had never happened before.
A light and melodious ringtone suddenly rang. It seemed to have drilled a hole into the solemn atmosphere. Grief and heaviness slowly flowed out from this hole.
Ye Xi looked at Xu Qiu in front of him, then slowly sat up and extended his hand to grab the phone on the bedside table, seeing the two familiar words on the display, Ye Xi pursed his lips, got off the bed with the phone and walked out of the bedroom.
Walking out of the bedroom, Ye Xi looked at Xu Qiu once again before closing the door.
He walked into his room, turned on the light, sat on the bed and picked up the phone.
"You took so long to receive it?" The familiar bass sound, in this night, was as low and deep as a cello playing out, moving one\'s heart.
Ye Xi took a Hello Kitty fluffy doll beside the bed and hugged it in his arms, then said, "I was just in my mother\'s room."
"And now?" the man asked, his voice slurred and hoarse.
"I\'m in my own room now." Ye Xi whispered.
"??" The other person remained silent for a while, then said, "Turn on the video."
"Hmm?" Ye Xi was startled.
"I want to see you." The man\'s voice softened.
Ye Xi blushed and looked at the laptop on the computer table. "Computer?"
"Whatever." The man smiled.
Ye Xi pursed her lips, "But it\'s already the early morning, aren\'t you sleepy?"
"I\'m not sleepy." The man paused. "You want to sleep?"
Ye Xi shook his head lightly, "Not for now." "Temporarily?" The man laughed, "Open it."
Ye Xi immediately jumped down the bed and opened his notebook, but he felt that he was too anxious, he purposely said this into his phone, "I really can\'t sleep for the time being, that\'s why I started the video chat with you."
"Heh ??" The man laughed happily.
Ye Xi became even more embarrassed.
Ye Zichen pouted and logged onto QQ.
She suddenly thought of the fact that she didn\'t add him, "Hubby, what\'s your QQ number?"
"QQ?"
"Yeah, QQ number."
"I haven\'t used QQ in a long time." Huo Yaoting said.
"??" Ye Xi smirked, "Without QQ, how can we start a video?"
"WeChat?"
Ye Xi looked at the WeChat on the table, "Ok."
After logging into WeChat, Ye Xi asked, "WeChat husband?"
"Say it."
"Oh. Ye Xi pinyin, 520 added on the back. " Ye Xi said.
"520?" Huo Yaoting raised his voice.
Ye Xi rubbed his nose, "No!"
"Narcissist!"
Ye Xi was about to push it back, but he saw that it was added in, and the nickname was still his.
Ye Xi sweated, "Hubby, it\'s a nickname, why do you use your own name?"
"I\'m too lazy to think about it." Huo Yaoting spoke casually.
Ye Xi accepted the request and immediately opened the video call.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Just as Ye Xi tapped on it, he heard his ridiculing voice come over from that side.
Ye Xi\'s face reddened.
Seeing his handsome face on the computer screen, Ye Xi\'s face turned even redder.
Sitting in front of the computer desk, Ye Xi was as shy as a little wife, not daring to look at him.
"Xiao Xi, cell phone." Huo Yaoting smiled, and stared at the phone that she was still holding up by her ear.
Ye Xi heard the voice coming from the computer.
He was stu
ed for a moment before realising that he had cut off the call.
Good!
Ye Xi pursed her lips, her face red as she placed the phone on the table.
"Raise your head." Huo Yaoting laughed as he looked at her shy appearance.
Ye Xi raised his head, his eyelids moving up, still not daring to look at him.
Huo Yaoting\'s double pupil eyes that were filled with warmth and affection, and his grave and stern face had also become a lot gentler. It was not difficult to hear the affection and tolerance in his voice, "Little fool."
