"I believed at that time when you said you really like me. Even if in the future, you abandon me, I don't have anything to talk about. After all, I am like a pest hanging onto you…" Sun Xumei tightened her hold on Luo Lixi as her face became pale.
"You! How can you have such disgusting thoughts? You are my wife!" Luo Baiyun snapped out in disbelief. "Have you had these ridiculous thoughts from the very start of our marriage?! That's why you always ate so little at every mealtime?!"
"..." Luo Lixi was silent. She pondered for a long time and only remembered the times when her mother used to eat less. 'Isn't it because of the period?'
"Don't be ridiculous. Even if I am your wife, I failed to give you any benefits which you could have gained by marrying my cousin. If I look at it from another angle then I can only say, I am not qualified to stand beside you." Even if those words were painful, Sun Xumei felt the need to vent out her inner frustration.
These were the exact words Wang Yue told her in the room when they were alone.
The man became silent. After staring at her forced smile, he walked ahead and hugged her tightly. "Did I ever tell you that… I never intended to marry your cousin?"
"Do you think I'll believe it?" Sun Xumei smiled.
From the side, Luo Lixi turned her eyes away and stared at the pillar beside her. She acted as if she wasn't there and turned motionless like a brick.
'I really want to give them all the privacy in the world.' Luo Lixi closed her eyes and thought.
...
"I can not reject her straightforwardly as it will only bring troubles for you. Rather than going head-on against her, it's better to give her false hope until I…" While saying this, he lifted his hand and held up the woman's face.
"You should believe me when I say I really love you. Don't believe others." Luo Baiyun's voice felt he was commanding as he stared straight into Sun Xumei's eyes.
After being silent for a while, the woman nodded and hugged him back and whispered, "As I have said… Even if you abandon me, I don't have anything against you. As long as you treat my children fairly, I won't say anything."
"The things I told you earlier, did it go down the drain?" The man became dissatisfied as he squeezed her cheeks. Sun Xumei stayed motionless and let him squeeze all he wanted.
Soon, Luo Baiyun lost interest. Abruptly, both of them turned around and glanced at the little girl who was facing them with her back.
In Luo Lixi's mind, a few familiar lines were hopping nonstop, [Don't always believe what others say and you see. Believe in me!]
She remembered the time when she got very frustrated and angry about that woman who was living in that place, 'Did I also misunderstand… but…'
Suddenly her body was picked from the ground and she was forced to look at the big face of her father.
"What are you thinking like an old man?" The man asked as he stared at his daughter.
She shook her head and said softly, "Nothing."
"Why are you acting so quiet? If it was another day you would have become a monkey and jump around screaming in my ears." The man teased her as he softly squashed the small face of Luo Lixi.
Even then she was silent and stared at her father, just like her mother.
Suddenly the identical faces began to stare at each other and stayed silent for a long time. Luo Baiyun's expression also changed as he looked at the serious face of his daughter.
His hold began to tighten as he tried to understand something.
"Stop staring at each other. We should go back to the Mansion." Because of the woman's voice, both of them had to break their stalemate and turned around.
Luo Baiyun nodded and then walked into the Mansion with a deep and puzzled face.
…
Even during the dinner, Luo Lixi was absent-minded. Her father had to remind her several times to eat. She would nod but really didn't put anything in her mouth and stared at her father.
Then her gaze fell on the old man who was busy eating silently. She didn't have any appetite as she slipped down the chair and started walking towards another way.
"Xixi, come. Let me feed you." Sun Xumei said hurriedly when she saw her leaving without saying anything. 'Did she become angry for ignoring her?'
Luo Lixi stopped in her place and then turned around, "I am not hungry. You all eat."
The maid who had come from Luo Villa followed her when Luo Lixi began to leave. Luo Qintian's eyes followed her closely as she walked slowly and steadily. Then his eyes fell on his useless son and then at Sun Xumei.
Luo Baiyun was busy caring for his wife and then glanced at his father. Both of them moved their eyes away and concentrated on their own task.
Wang Yue, who was in the opposite direction of Luo Baiyun, stared at the couple. Suddenly she felt that all the care of Luo Baiyun was for the child in that woman's belly, not for the woman.
'He will also care for me if I become pregnant with his child, right?' While staring at her plate, she thought with a smile.
When Bin Manman noticed this, she found it very strange. She glanced at Luo Baiyun and then at Wang Yue again. 'What happened between them for her to be so happy?!' She had the urge to ask but forced down her urge.
After the dinner, Luo Baiyun stood up and glanced at his parents. "We have to leave now. Thanks for the invite, mother."
"Why are you acting like a stranger? Don't go and stay here." While talking, Madam Tang glanced at Sun Xumei subconsciously. The latter understood the hint and turned around to speak up but Luo Baiyun shook his head at them and said, "We can't. My important documents are there."
While they were talking, Luo Lixi walked down the stairs with a little box. She glanced at the people who were still on the dining table area and walked towards them, "Baba, let's go back."
"Okay." Luo Baiyun helped as he helped Sun Xumei to stand up. The other two women also stood up with their child and Wang Yue said, "Aunt, uncle, we should leave now we should leave too."
The old grandma was reluctant to see Luo Lixi leave and sighed. "Well... if you want to leave, I can't force you to stay."
"Our villa is always open for you. You can come to meet her at any time." Luo Baiyun said and then picked up Luo Lixi. His sight fell on the little box she was carrying and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"Nothing." She held the thing tightly and then glanced at her grandparents. With a cute smile she looked at them slightly and spoke out, "Grandma, grandfather let's meet again another day~"
Sun Xumei was confused and shocked by the sudden behaviour of her daughter. After all, she didn't teach these things to the little girl before. She guessed her father must have taught her to say this to his parents.
"Ahh! My dear, why don't you stay back. Grandma will treat you well!" Madam Tang asked as she rubbed Luo Lixi's head gently.
"No~" Luo Lixi replied flatly.
"Sigh!" Madam Tang smiled in resignation. Then she turned at Sun Xumei, "Take care of yourself and the child."
Sun Xumei nodded and then turned to Luo Qintian. She bowed slightly. Luo Qintian didn't react and stood still.
Luo Baiyun took Sun Xumei and Luo Lixi outside. Bin Manman and Wang Yue followed them.
"We will meet again. Remember to come to grandma." The old woman said loudly with reluctance as she saw them entering a car.
Luo Lixi waved her hand and soon the car drove away. In the back, two cars left as well.
The old man glanced towards the door slightly and then turned to his wife whose mood became downcast.
"You can meet them again. No need to become sad." Luo Qintian murmured.
"Husband, I know yet…" The old lady spoke vaguely as she turned around and went to the second floor. Luo Qintian stared at her back and then turned around to look at the door.
Housekeeper Wu went behind him and bowed as he said, "Master, madam has yet to drink her medicine. The maid has said she has been avoiding eating them since morning."
"I see…" Luo Qintian replied and then turned around to leave. The housekeeper glanced at the tired back of Luo Qintian and murmured, "Master, young master is capable enough. If you want, you can give the company to him and then spend all the remaining time with madam."
Luo Qintian's steps paused for a moment. Then he regained his pace and left. The housekeeper sighed as he turned around and glanced outside. "It's good weather."
