Chapter 1297
The Apple of the Ruthless CEO's Eye: My Sweet Wife Is so Adorable
Qiao Mu met Yu Yiduoâs worried gaze and explained, ââMom, Iâm fine.â
How could Yu Yiduo believe that Qiao Mu would be fine? She wanted to go up and comfort her, but Li Zheng pulled her upstairs with the excuse that he wanted to rest.
She was a little dissatisfied and shouted as soon as she entered the room,âMy daughter-in-law is unhappy. I havenât comforted her. Why did you pull me back to my room?â@@novelbin@@
â She has a man and doesnât need your comfort. Sheâs our sonâs woman, not yours. Donât be a busybody. â Li Zheng said indifferently.
Yu Yiduo snorted. Although it sounded reasonable, she was still worried.
Only Li Yan and Qiao Mu were left downstairs.
...
Just as Qiao Mu was about to speak, the man in front of her walked over and pulled her into his embrace.
She was stunned and raised her head from his embrace. â Uncle, you knew that Shu Xinyu kidnapped me? â
âYes.â The manâs voice was low. â I thought that you wouldnât know if I didnât tell you. Itâs better to let you think that Ning Tongtong kidnapped you than to let you know the truth, but this matter was still exposed. â
Qiao Muâs heart warmed. This man was always thinking about her, and he had always used his own methods to protect her.
She knew about this matter now, but there were still many things that he had handled well without her knowing.
She hugged his waist tightly. â Uncle, thank you. â
A word of thanks was not enough to express her feelings for him, but she still wanted to thank him.
Thank you for being so good to her, thank you for protecting her in his hands and sheltering her from the wind and rain.
Thank you for appearing in her life and giving her warmth that she had never had in her life.
He looked down at her and raised his hand to tuck her hair behind her ear. â Silly girl, you donât have to pretend to be indifferent at a time like this. â
She looked up at him and said softly,Actually, Iâve known about this for a long time, perhaps even earlier than you. â
Li Yan narrowed his eyes. â How did you know? Why didnât you tell me?â
â I accidentally discovered a scratch on Shu Xinyuâs shoulder. It was the same as the scratch I left on the man in black when I was kidnapped. At that time, I was indeed very sad and shocked, but I didnât want you to worry, so I didnât mention it. But now, itâs fine. â
Li Yan didnât get up. â Qiao Mu, compared to me worrying, I donât want you to be sad alone. You have me, and youâre no longer alone. You can rely on me for everything. Youâre not allowed to shoulder such things alone in the future. â
Qiao Mu pouted. â This isnât fair. You can shoulder it alone, so why canât I? âYouâre hiding it from me because you donât want me to be sad. Itâs the same as me hiding it from you because I donât want you to worry about me. Li Yan, youâre my support. I can be your support too. I donât want to be wrapped up by you all the time. Iâm no longer a child.â
Qiao Muâs eyes were extremely serious as she stared at Li Yan. Her expression made Li Yanâs heart flutter.
He knew that she was very strong. It was precisely because of this that he wanted to protect her so that she did not need to be strong in front of him.
However, this little woman was not willing to be treated differently. She wanted to be on equal footing with him and become his support.
It sounded funny, but her eyes were filled with determination and seriousness.
Yes, she was no longer a child, but she had always been a child in his eyes.
He only hoped that she would always be like a child, innocent and happy.
