"Mom, isn't dad coming back today?" Caring and looking at the door expectantly.
"It's almost eight o'clock, and the food on the table is getting cold."
The expression on Guan Xue's face was a little dull. After hearing her daughter's words, she nodded slowly, then forced a smile and said, "He should be busy."
"Ignore him, let's eat first."
Caring Ai held her mother's hand and slowly shook her head, "You made this table with your own hands, and the food you cooked is all daddy's favorite food."
"I'll call him."
Guan Xue did not stop him, but instead had a hint of expectation in his eyes.
The atmosphere at home has been very strange recently. Qin Ming hasn't spoken to her much since he came back from Pengyang University last time.
The life assistant was fired by him at the speed of light.
Guan Xue knew that Qin Ming was suspicious of him.
These days, Qin Ming goes out early and comes back late, and sometimes he just rests in the company.
The two haven't seen each other for a while. This situation happened... when she just got married to Qin Ming.
At that time, Qin Ming was always thinking about his dead wife, and he was lukewarm towards her.
The main reason for marrying her back was because he wanted her to come back and take care of his daughter.
At that time, she had a daughter and was down and out. Qin Ming was the best choice she could find.
She firmly believes that no matter how affectionate a person is, they cannot resist the warmth of ordinary fireworks.
With her gentleness and consideration day after day, she slowly occupied a place in Qin Ming's heart.
That kind of waiting day, she thought would never happen again.
Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, she would experience another incident.
Guan Xue thought she wouldn't feel uncomfortable, but people's hearts are not made of iron. She was able to squeeze Qin Ming to death all these years because she was sincere.
It's precisely because it's not all hypocrisy that she feels so sad now.
She doesn't regret what happened to Qin Sangsang. A person's heart can only be so big, and a person's love can only be so much.
If a person does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
It's absolutely fine for her to fight for herself and her children.
What she regretted was why she didn't do things more beautifully.
Qin Sangsang had an awkward and stubborn temper before. Even if she knew that the child would be angry, she would not complain if she suffered a loss.
Who would have thought that he would suddenly change his temper now.
A caring and sweet voice came, "Dad, I was selected to be the lead dancer of the dance troupe this time. Mom is helping me celebrate at home, but the food I burned is all your favorite food."
"When will you come back...If you don't come back, I think my mother is distracted..." She was as coquettish as caring about a little girl.
If it were normal times, Qin Ming would have become soft-hearted and affectionate.
This time he was a little cold, "You guys can eat first, I have some things to deal with here."
Guan Xue's bright eyes slowly fell silent, and a layer of gray haze covered her eyes.
"Forget it, let's eat first."
Putting down the phone, Qin Ming rubbed his eyebrows, feeling as if the condiments had been spilled, and thousands of flavors lingered in his heart.
To be fair, he had really cared for and loved his stepdaughter all these years, but he didn't expect that his daughter didn't even have a few hundred yuan a month for living expenses. That feeling...
Qin Ming opened his wallet and took off the family photo, revealing a small yellowed portrait inside.
The gentle and elegant woman looked at him with a smile. From some angles, Guan Xue was somewhat similar to her.
Behind the small portrait, written in black block letters: My love, Xianrou
"Xianrou, it's me who didn't take good care of our daughter."
Qin Ming stared at this photo for a long time and had the impulse to call Sang Sang many times.
He picked it up and put it down several times, not knowing what to say to Sangsang.
Just when he made up his mind to talk to his daughter, he saw the text message sent by his son.
The raised hand froze.
The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh. In the end, he made the choice he thought was most appropriate.
He hurriedly put the small photo back into his wallet, not daring to look at it again.
After sitting in the office for a while, Qin Ming picked up his coat and decided to go home.
Qin Gao was happily munching on watermelon at the dinner table. While spitting out the black seeds, he looked doubtfully at his mother and sister not far away.
"What are you doing with my phone?"
Caring Ai glanced at her younger brother and said perfunctorily: "Nothing, just eat your watermelon."
Qin Gao was annoyed and threw the melon rind into the trash can unhappily, "What's wrong with you now?"
It's becoming less and less gentle.
Guan Xue put down her phone and finally smiled, "Your dad said he would be back later."
Caring and Ai also breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Qin Gao much more favorably.
Instead, Guan Xue cursed softly, "Why are you kid talking to your sister?"
"Mom, don't talk about my brother."
"Look at how kind your sister is to you. I can't even say a word to you."
Qin Gao:….
He always felt that something was weird. Without thinking, he suddenly said, "Mom, is Qin Sangsang's living expenses really caused by the life assistant?"
Qin Ming was about to open the door when his outstretched hand suddenly froze.
He also wants to know.
"Why would you say such a thing? It's too much for my mother."
Caring Ai slapped Qin Gao angrily and said, "Apologise to mom quickly."
Qin Gao was like a stubborn donkey, holding his neck and trying to get results.
"I was negligent." Guan Xue lowered her head and couldn't see her expression. "Sang Sang has always been hostile to us. In order to avoid suspicion, I handed these matters over to my assistant."
"Oh, yes, is that so?"
Care and love: "Why do you think so bad about your mother?"
Qin Gao was extremely embarrassed and scratched his head at a loss.
Qin Ming was stunned for a while and then opened the door.
"Dad, you're back." Qin Gao called out impatiently.
Caring and Ai also happily agreed, and diligently brought Qin Ming's slippers.
Qin Ming was surrounded by his son and daughter, one on the left and the other on the right, as he walked to the dining table.
Caring and loving takes credit for her mother, "What mom cooks is all what you like to eat. Her thoughts are all on you, and she doesn't even say she loves me."
"Damn kid, what are you talking about?" Guan Xue blushed shyly and glanced at Qin Ming affectionately.
"That's what it is."
"Qin Xiaogao, have you washed your hands? Just eat the vegetables with your hands."
Qin Ming was a little stunned. His beloved wife was by his side and his children were laughing and playing.
The scene in front of you is so harmonious and warm that you are addicted to it and reluctant to break it.
"Let's eat."
Sensing Qin Ming's changed attitude, Guan Xue secretly gave a faint smile.
So many years of companionship have long left a deep mark on Qin Ming's heart, and she knows that the words "cherish the people in front of you" are not false.
At the dinner table, Qin Ming said nothing, but Guan Xue served him soup and vegetables, and he did not refuse.
But the next second, Qin Ming suddenly said, "I am going to transfer 30% of the company's shares to Sangsang."
Qin Ming held the dishes and said to himself: "This is what her mother left for her. I will ask the lawyer to handle it tomorrow."
