Mo Zixi shrugged his shoulders, but he did not say anything bad about Chen Jingrong.
This was his final act of grace towards her.
…
After dinner, Mo Zixi took little Xingzhe to the bathroom for a bath. But, Yao Anqi spotted him and carried him out of the water.
Mo Zixi followed behind, a little confused.
"The bath … isn't done yet."
"Xingzhe has hemolysis and his immune system is low. He shouldn't stay in the water for too long," Yao Anqi said before she carried Xingzhe back to the master bedroom and placed him on the bed.
After hearing this, Mo Zixi felt extremely guilty, "I'm sorry …"
Yao Anqi was silent for a moment before she sighed and turned around, "Go change your clothes in case you catch a cold."
Mo Zixi looked at his clothes and nodded, "In that case, when I come out, teach me how to do it properly."
Yao Anqi did not say anything else as she nodded her head.
Mo Zixi was a new father, so sometimes, he wasn't as mature as a woman. So, he sometimes forgot that Xingzhe was sick. Because of this, he needed Yao Anqi to watch over him.
After changing into a new set of clothes, Yao Anqi returned to the bedroom. She had already prepared everything. She turned on the shower and turned on the air conditioner, "This will make Xingzhe feel better. Go in."
Mo Zixi looked at the bathtub helplessly, "If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have changed."
Yao Anqi knew that Mo Zixi was pretending to be relaxed to make her less nervous.
Over the past two days, she had slowly come to accept the fact that she was married.
As for Mo Zixi's existence, she was no longer as repulsed.
Meanwhile, Xingzhe was even happier. Perhaps, he didn't know what it meant to be a father, but he could clearly feel that he was in a place that was safer than his mother's embrace.
Mo Zixi jumped into the water and played with his son. Seeing this, Yao Anqi did not disturb them any further. She simply closed the bathroom door and allowed the father and son to bond.
Actually, this kind of life wasn't bad.
Especially Xingzhe, who was extremely happy …
That night, it wasn't easy for Mo Zixi to coax Xingzhe to sleep. Before he left the master bedroom, he said to Yao Anqi, "I'll get the nanny to look after Xingyan tomorrow. I need to report to the special forces tomorrow."
"OK," Yao Anqi replied.
"Don't worry. Although they have a good reputation, I still installed a camera in the house. You will be able to see everything that happens in the house." "Tomorrow, I'll buy some food and leave it at home. It should be enough for you and your son to eat for a while. The nanny will buy the rest for you. Also, I've left my card on your bedside table. If you need anything, just swipe it."
Yao Anqi listened quietly without replying. After a while, she finally asked, "Anything else?"
"Also … after I join the special forces, it's even more impossible for me to see Chen Jingrong. Don't worry."
Yao Anqi smiled and nodded, "Sure, I'll remember what you said."
"Then … you and Xingzhe should sleep."
After speaking, Mo Zixi turned around and left the bedroom. Yao Anqi did not try to stop him. Although he was a little disappointed, she did not force him. After all, he was the one who didn't take care of Xingzhe's health that night. He made himself seem especially childish and unable to handle the responsibilities of a father.
It was understandable that Yao Anqi didn't trust him.
But, for some reason, as he lay in bed, Mo Zixi spent most of his time thinking about Yao Anqi and the child in the master bedroom. These two people practically occupied half his mind.
The next morning, Mo Zixi woke up early. Seeing that Yao Anqi hadn't woken up yet, he snuck into the bedroom and laid down on Xingzhe's bed to look at his son's obedient face.
He seemed to be having a sweet dream, waving his little hands from time to time.
"Xingzhe, I let you down last night. I almost made you fall sick." Mo Zixi leaned over and placed a kiss on Xingzhe's cheek, unwilling to let him go. "Daddy is going to the army, so I might not be able to see you for a while. That's why I decided to take a photo of you. That way, when I miss you, I can take a look at you."
Yao Anqi was awoken by Mo Zixi, but she did not get up.
Just like that, Mo Zixi sat by Xingzhe's bedside and spoke to him for half an hour.
He also took a lot of photos.
She never expected this man to be so affectionate.
Yao Anqi couldn't take it anymore, so she finally turned on the bedside lamp and pulled out a photo album from her drawer. She then handed a photo of her and Xingzhe to Mo Zixi, "This is for you."
"Did I wake you up?"
"If you don't turn on the light, how could you take a clear photo?" Because it was too dark and Mo Zixi did not dare to turn on the flash, the photo only showed a dark blur.
"I simply hope that after I go to the army, I'll have something to remember," Mo Zixi replied.
"I know. You've already done enough by giving us such a good living environment. You don't need to carry any more burdens on your shoulders," Yao Anqi said as she looked at Xingzhe. "When you have time, come home often."
"Of course I will," Mo Zixi could no longer hold back as he pulled Yao Anqi into his embrace and hugged her tightly.
But, he did not do anything else as he quickly left with the photo.
Yao Anqi's heart moved a little. After all, she knew that Mo Zixi was a man with an indomitable spirit. So, as soon as Mo Zixi left, she chased after him barefooted and grabbed onto his arm, "Xingzhe and I will be waiting for you at home."
At this time, the sky was dark, but as soon as Mo Zixi lowered his head, he noticed Yao Anqi standing barefoot on the steps. So, he immediately rushed into the house and retrieved her shoes. He then knelt down and helped her put them on, one at a time, "Remember, no matter what happens, give me a phone call. Or, you can go to Hyatt Regency."
"OK."
"Go in, it's quite cold outside."
Yao Anqi nodded. After Mo Zixi left, she turned around and returned to the master bedroom.
It wasn't that she didn't remember the night from 4 years ago. That night, when she was passionately intertwined with that man, her mind kept replaying the scene. Perhaps because of this, Yao Anqi felt a natural familiarity with Mo Zixi.
Because they existed in each other's memories.
Because of this, it was easy for her to fall in love with him.
Plus, ever since Mo Zixi found out about her and Xingzhe's existence, he had done so much for them. This man was definitely worth trusting. So, she decided to work hard to fit in as a wife. At the very least, she wanted him to be her husband and sleep in the master bedroom.
At that time, Chen Jingrong was locked up in solitary confinement. She still wanted to see Mo Zixi after she was released …
But, she had no idea that Mo Zixi had already joined the special forces!
