Xie Limo naturally understood what his father was implying. He couldn’t comfort his father, but he told himself that he had to do an excellent job.
“Father, I know. I’ll try my best.”
Xie Yaocang shook his head. “You cannot just try your best. You must do it. You must protect your wife. That’s the only way to prevent yourself from feeling conflicted deep down.”
As he spoke, he looked at Ji Qiongxin and breathed a long sigh.
Xie Limo knew how miserable his father felt. Thirty years ago, his father had failed to protect his mother well, and that was the regret of his lifetime. Even after his mother had gotten better, his father still couldn’t get over those miserable days.
Xie Limo could see the sorrow in his father’s eyes, so to placate him, he promised to him that he would protect Yun Bixue.
After a while, Xie Limo asked, “Father, what about the headquarters?”
Xie Yaocang patted Xie Limo’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry. Your mother and I will keep it from the headquarters and not let them find out. You and Bixue just have to stay healthy.”
“Thank you, Father.”
Xie Yaocang smiled calmly. “You’re being so polite with me.”
“Father, I now know how hard it was for you and Mother back then.”
Xie Yaocang sighed. “It’s all in the past. I can only rely on you now.”
“I’ll do a good job. I won’t disappoint you.”
“Yes, protect your wife. That’s your most important duty.”
Xie Limo knew the heavy meaning behind those words and nodded solemnly.
Although he was speaking to his father, he still turned towards Yun Bixue. He couldn’t feel at ease when she was out of his sight as he had gotten used to looking at her. He would only feel better after seeing her.Visit on our NovelFull
Xie Yaocang could clearly see the look on Xie Limo’s face. He smiled warmly and said, “You’re just like me when I was younger.”
“Hmm?”
Embarrassed, Xie Yaocang didn’t want to talk about his youth. Seeing that curious look on his son’s face, he explained, “You know how your mother had been hurt before. After she got pregnant, I became exceptionally anxious. I couldn’t sleep, and when she moved, I woke up immediately. I wanted to do everything for her back then. Thinking back now, I was too young and overly nervous.”
“Father, was mother pregnant with me during that time?”
“Yes, it was you. You didn’t give your mother a lot of pain, but the headquarters troubled her greatly, and she almost broke down. Thinking back now, I don’t know how we got through it. Fortunately, everything went well, and your mother is fine. I’m happy too.” As Xie Yaocang spoke, his eyes turned towards Ji Qiongxin and were filled with gentleness.
Xie Limo knew that his parents had a difficult time throughout their relationship. Therefore, he cherished the times he spent with Yun Bixue.
Xie Yaocang added, “Your mother and I can tell how much you love Bixue. We will deal with the headquarters and fight for a year’s time, so she can give birth to the baby.”
Hearing his father’s words, Xie Limo’s heart grew heavy. The soft look on his face turned dark as he fell into deep thought. Finally, he asked solemnly, “Father, would everything still proceed according to the rules?” That was what he was most worried about.
