"Dad, what about you? Will you still be nice to Sister Mai?"
"I..." He was stunned. At this moment, he was as confused as Xiaobai, and felt despair in his heart.
After a long while, he slowly asked: "Xiaobai, if dad can't be with Sister Mai, will you be unhappy?"
The child looked up at him.
His heart skipped a beat: "What Dad means is that if Sister Mai marries someone else in the future, would you rather follow Sister Mai or Dad?"
The child was dumbfounded and kept twisting his fingers: "Dad... I won't leave Sister Mai... I want to be with Sister Mai..."
His eyes felt hot, but he couldn't breathe.
"But...Dad..." The child bit his finger, timidly, "Am I not allowed to go to your house anymore?"
Xiangxi's heart felt like a knife cutting him, and his eyes were wet.
Poor Xiaobai, she is so young and has just received a little love from her father. How can we let her choose between her father and her mother?
She doesn't know that she can only have one: father or mother, not father and mother.
There is a huge difference between the two. How cruel is it to ask a child to make a decision?
He put his face close to the child's little face and forced himself to calm down: "Xiaobai, my place will always be your home. No matter when, daddy welcomes you."
"But...Sister Mai...you won't welcome Sister Mai anymore, will you?"
"..."
Yi Xiangxi couldn't answer.
He couldn't say that it wasn't that I didn't welcome her, but that she was determined not to come.
He couldn't slander Qiao Xiaomai in front of his children, and he didn't want to.
The child's voice became even lower: "I know, it's because Uncle Chocolate is back... Dad, Sister Mai likes Uncle Chocolate, but she doesn't like you, right?"
"..."
She frowned in distress, with tears hanging on her long eyelashes.
"Dad, can I help you? I don't want Sister Mai to marry Uncle Chocolate, I will help you..."
He was shocked, and quietly glanced at the closed bedroom door, picked up Xiaobai and returned to her own room, closed the door again, and then quietly asked: "Xiaobai, why did you say that?"
"Dad, you go after Sister Mai... If you chase Sister Mai, she won't marry Uncle Chocolate... I don't like Sister Mai marrying Uncle Chocolate..."
Tong Yan Wuji makes Yi Xiangxi dumbfounded, but there is a sweet sadness. The child is her own flesh and blood after all. No matter how good other men are, she doesn't like them. She only looks towards her father.
This is human nature.
He shook his head, his voice so weak that even he couldn't believe it: "But, Sister Mai doesn't like me."
"Dad, if you are as kind to Sister Mai as you are to Xiaobai, Sister Mai will like you."
He was shocked.
Suddenly I discovered what I had been ignoring - why can I be so good to my child, but I still don’t know how to treat her? I want to be good to her, but there is no way?
Like a person who has been lost for a long time and is suddenly pointed out the direction.
The child has become his own teacher, and he wakes up the dreamer with just one word.
He murmured to himself: "If I treat Sister Mai well, Sister Mai will marry Dad, and Dad will definitely do this. But, I don't know how to treat Sister Mai well..."
