The father and daughter ate their food and chatted.
The two of them were not in high spirits and were obviously a little uncomfortable. They all recalled the scene in the past when a family of four had a lively meal.
Yun Xi was unusually silent and depressed.
Qi Rui saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart. This child was more sensitive than he thought. "Doudou, why are you unhappy?"
Yun Xi threw down her knife and fork, raised her snow-white face, her eyes were red, "Daddy, I miss mommy and brother. I think about it so much, where did mommy go?"
It was so hard not being able to see her brother or mommy, and she didn't like it at all.
Qi Rui was stunned and a little confused.
"What?"
Ever since he signed the divorce agreement, he has been forcing himself to focus on work, without giving himself a moment of free time, let alone contacting Ye Qingting.
He was injured too deeply, and the only thing he could do was to stay away from the source of the injury and slowly repair the injured heart.
Yun Xi bit her lip, looking worried and uneasy.
"I couldn't find Mommy on the phone. Does she dislike me anymore? Daddy, I feel so sad."
The drastic changes in her family made her very uncomfortable. She missed her brother and mommy, wanted to play with her brother, and wanted her mommy to hug her and coax her to sleep.
Qirui heard something was wrong, suppressed the feeling of panic, and asked patiently.
"When did you call?"
"Morning." Yun Xi's tears fell. She had too much to talk about, "But the phone has been blocked. Mommy loves me the most. There is no way she won't answer my call. Will... something happen like my brother did?"
"
She shivered and looked frightened.
After all, he is a child, and no matter how precocious he is, he cannot be as steady and restrained as an adult, with the ease of expressing his emotions.
"Don't cry." Qi Rui comforted his daughter softly. He had been restless and flustered these days, which was driving him crazy.
He picked up the phone and hesitated, "Let me check."
His heart was in confusion and he was anxiously waiting for a reply.
Although my daughter is young, she is extremely keen, maybe...
After waiting for more than ten seconds, there was still a long beep. He couldn't help frowning, his heartbeat was beating faster, and he had a bad feeling.
"Doudou, has your mommy called you these days?"
Doudou twitched her fingers and counted them one by one, "I was beaten seven days ago."
Seven days ago? Qi Rui frowned, wasn't that the day after the divorce?
"What did you say?"
Yun Xi tried her best to remember, her little brows furrowed tightly, "Mommy said, let me obey daddy's words, don't make daddy angry, and don't call her too many times, she will take the initiative to call me..."
She pouted, with tears in her eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved, "But Mommy's words don't mean anything. She has ignored me for seven days. Has Mommy forgotten me?"
The child has become more sensitive, anxious, fearful, and suspicious, and has lost the brightness and joy it once had.
Qi Rui found out that the divorce had caused so much harm to her children, and she couldn't help but feel upset.
"No, our Doudou is so cute, who wouldn't like it? Your mommy loves you the most."
"Then I..." Yun Xi looked at him timidly and said in a low voice, "Can I go see Mommy? I miss her so much."
Qi Rui remained silent, his expression complex and unpredictable.
Yun Xi jumped off the chair, threw herself on Qi Rui, pulled his arm and shook him wildly, begging pitifully, "Daddy, are you okay?"
She really missed her mommy, but she didn't dare to say it for fear that her daddy would be angry, sad, or lose his temper.
