Su Wanqing didn't expect that her mother's first words when she woke up would be in this tone.
She...never spoke like this before.
"I heard that you fell ill, so my father and I came to see you." Su Wanqing lowered her head, "I'm sorry, mom, I was wrong last time at the airport."
"Luo Mingxuan is here too?" Su Jiuge raised his eyebrows in surprise.
The one who was really surprised was Su Wanqing. She had never heard her mother call Luo Mingxuan by his full name. Where had her affection and nickname gone?
"Yes, Dad is very worried about you. He went out to do errands and will be back soon." Su Wanqing poured a glass of warm water and handed it to her mother, whose lips were dry and peeling.
With the help of his daughter, Su Jiuge half-sit up, with a soft pillow placed behind his waist. His expression was a little stiff when he drank water.
"Wan Qing, what do you think of your father?" Su Jiuge took a few sips, suddenly raised his head and asked.
"He is a very successful businessman."
"What else?" Su Jiuge's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Su Wanqing's expression for a moment, "I mean, how do you feel about your stepfather?"
How do you feel?
Su Wanqing's heart "thumped" and jumped suddenly.
"Be in awe." She couldn't find any other words to describe it.
She admires him for his achievements today, admires his business methods, and admires her careful teaching of her;
In the same way, she was afraid of him, afraid of his crazy behavior, and afraid of his inexplicable emotions.
"Awe?" Su Jiuge seemed very dissatisfied with the answer and continued to ask, "Does Wan Qing like dad?"
"This...can't say I like it." Su Wanqing answered truthfully.
"Is that annoying?" Su Jiuge still refused to give up.
Su Wanqing's slender eyelashes fluttered slightly. The doctor said that the mother should not be stimulated anymore, and harmony is the best.
"We are a family. Even if we don't like it, we still have to live in harmony." This was her compromise answer.
Su Jiuge nodded, an inexplicable emotion flashed across the corners of his slightly raised eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Wan Qing, I hope you can get along well with Xuan and develop a relationship. During this time in Los Angeles, in addition to staying with me, the two of you can go out and have more fun. Treat it as a comfort trip."
Su Wanqing was stunned by her mother's eyes. Her eyes were different from before. They had changed a lot. They were no longer gentle, but more incomprehensible and deep.
"But I -" I don't want to.
She didn't want to be alone with Luo Mingxuan, let alone go on a trip.
"Wan Qing, can't you just pretend that it's your mother begging you?" Su Jiuge held her daughter's hand and spoke earnestly, "Mom's body has collapsed, so you can just pretend that she is fulfilling her wish, okay?"
Mother's hands were cold, and the coldness spread along Su Wanqing's palms to her heart, reminding her what an unfilial daughter she was.
After a long silence, she finally nodded: "Okay, I promise you."
She couldn't think of any reason for rejection. She felt desperate.
Su Jiuge's smile finally spread to his eyes, adding a bit of morbid eccentricity.
"Mom, can I ask you a question?"
"Well, tell me." Su Jiuge seemed to be in a good mood.
Su Wanqing raised her head and stared into her eyes: "Why did you come to Los Angeles to see Uncle Qi?" Su Wanqing did not expect that her mother's first words after waking up would be in this tone.
She...never spoke like this before.
"I heard that you fell ill, so my father and I came to see you." Su Wanqing lowered her head, "I'm sorry, mom, I was wrong last time at the airport."
