Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Unable to Speak the Words
Wen Jishan and Wen Jiliang fell silent upon hearing the words.
Neither Old Mr. Wen nor their brothers could speak of that matter!
After a gentle sigh, Wen Jishan and his brother left the room.
Outside the room, Zhou Shuyi and the others glanced at the two coming out. Wen Jiliang shook his head slightly, and everyone understood that the talk hadn’t gone well!
Inside the room, Old Mr. Wen held Bai Ruoqing’s photo, looking at it with tears streaming down his face, "Ruqing, it was my fault back then. I couldn’t protect you and your daughter, letting you both suffer...
The child wants to know what happened in the past, but how can I tell her?
I can’t say it out loud!
If I do, I’m afraid she will resent us even more and won’t acknowledge us!"
Once out of the villa, Qin Xiao and Xiao Li got into the car, driving out of the villa district. Xiao Li remained silent all the way...
Seeing her like this, Qin Xiao gently held her, "Nini, don’t be upset.
If they won’t say, I will investigate!
One day, we’ll uncover everything."
Xiao Li closed her eyes slightly, "He’s my mother’s father, and even he isn’t willing to tell me what happened back then. This alone shows how complicated it is.
Everyone in the Wen Family who knows won’t say anything, so how can this be investigated?"
Just now at Wen Jishan’s house, Old Mr. Wen did say some things, and Xiao Li believed what he said at the beginning was true.
But when he talked about her mother fleeing from marriage, it seemed too fabricated.
Back then, the second branch of the Wen Family was already struggling, and their greatest support, the Bai Family, had also fallen. How could they have helped her mother flee the marriage in such circumstances?
Previously, even with the Bai Family’s protection, they couldn’t annul her mother’s marriage. How could they have helped her escape later?
Even if her mother truly fled the marriage, with the strength of the Wen Family’s main branch, it wouldn’t have been difficult to bring her back!
So why didn’t the main branch look for her?
Something must have happened!
But Old Mr. Wen just wouldn’t tell them.
Qin Xiao said seriously, "Surely, those in the know aren’t just from the second branch of the Wen Family. Their silence doesn’t mean I can’t find out.
Don’t overthink it, trust me, I’ll find out for you."
Xiao Li nodded, "Okay, I trust you."
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Since visiting the Wen Family, Xiao Li hadn’t heard from any of them.
She no longer dwelled on those from the Wen Family and spent her days at home with Mianmian, healing her arm.
Now her shoulder was completely healed, as long as she didn’t make sudden moves, everything was fine.
Once her injury healed, Xiao Li eagerly wanted to return to the hospital.
The day she was to return, it was still dark outside, not even a hint of dawn in the sky, yet Xiao Li was awake, even though it was far from her work time. She couldn’t fall asleep.
Xiao Li opened her eyes slightly; raising her head, the first thing she saw was Qin Xiao’s freshly grown stubble.
She reached out her hand and gently touched it, hmm... it was a bit prickly.
After feeling the stubble, Xiao Li wasn’t satisfied; she then touched Qin Xiao’s eyes, nose, and mouth.
Having touched everything, she purposely kissed Qin Xiao’s chin, feeling that prickly stubble...
Qin Xiao seemed to wake with Xiao Li’s actions, his brows fluttering slightly.
Seeing this, Xiao Li quickly withdrew her hand and lowered her head, feigning sleep...
After a while, seeing that Qin Xiao hadn’t moved, she half-opened one eye to peek. Noticing he was still asleep, she hurriedly opened her eyes fully, wanting to get out of bed carefully.
She gently removed Qin Xiao’s hand from her stomach and slowly extricated herself from his embrace. After much effort, she managed to sit up to get out of bed.
Just as she extended one leg off the bed and moved the other toward the edge, she was suddenly embraced around the waist. With a turn, she was sprawled atop Qin Xiao...
"Not sleeping anymore?" Qin Xiao’s voice was slightly husky due to not being fully awake...
Xiao Li quickly said, "No, I need to go to the bathroom."
On hearing this, Qin Xiao released his hold on her, allowing her to get up.
Getting out of bed, Xiao Li quickly rushed into the bathroom. After freshening up, she gently opened the bathroom door to check if Qin Xiao was still asleep.
To her surprise, when she opened the door, she found Qin Xiao propped up on the bed, fully awake.
Smiling, Xiao Li walked to the bedside, "Uncle, why aren’t you asleep?"
Qin Xiao pulled her hand, and Xiao Li was tugged into his embrace, sitting there.
"You’re bold enough to disturb my sleep and then ask why I’m not sleeping?"
Xiao Li protested, "I didn’t... I just wanted to go to the bathroom."
Qin Xiao chuckled softly, flipping Xiao Li beneath him, "So, you have to touch and kiss someone before you go to the bathroom?
I understand now, I feel the urge to go to the bathroom too."
As Qin Xiao spoke, his hand started moving, touching Xiao Li’s jaw, eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth one by one.
Finally, Qin Xiao gently kissed Xiao Li’s chin, as she had done to him.
However, after kissing her chin, he didn’t stop as Xiao Li did. Instead, he continued upward, sealing Xiao Li’s cherry-like lips in a deep kiss and then moving to her ears, neck...
Afterward, Xiao Li, who had intended to wake up early, was exhausted and fell back asleep, only to be woken by Qin Xiao close to work time...
While having breakfast, Xiao Li felt her legs were slightly unsteady.
She shot a glare at the culprit and took a fierce bite of the egg, as if it were Qin Xiao.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao leaned over to her ear and said, "Bite gently, lest you choke.
If you want to bite me, do it tonight. I’ll wash up and lie there, letting you bite as you please."
Xiao Li had been eating well, but after hearing Qin Xiao’s words, she nearly choked on the egg yolk.
She quickly raised her hand, patting her chest, and seeing she was truly choking, Qin Xiao hurriedly handed her some milk to drink...
After Xiao Li drank the milk and swallowed the damn egg yolk, Qin Xiao laughed lightly and said, "Breathing okay? Want me to give you mouth-to-mouth?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li nearly choked on the milk, casting a resentful glance toward Qin Xiao, she stopped talking...
What’s with uncle today?
Does he want to kill his dear wife first thing in the morning?
Seeing Xiao Li bristle with anger, Qin Xiao ceased his teasing.
After the meal, they first took Mianmian to Qin’s mother. During the time Xiao Li was home, Mianmian often stayed with Qin’s mother, though Xiao Li usually accompanied her...
After leaving Mianmian with Qin’s mother, the two rode together to the hospital; Qin Xiao had a shift today as well.
Upon arriving, as soon as Xiao Li got out of the car and waved goodbye to Qin Xiao, she ran off to the respiratory department.
Watching Xiao Li’s distant figure, Qin Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking perhaps he hadn’t been strict enough this morning; her running was quite agile...
Maybe tonight...
