Burned Vows
Xia Qingkong quietly finished her dinner. As soon as she put down her chopsticks, Xia Zhenghua coughed. "Qingkong..." "Dad," Xia Qingkong elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth, then interrupted Xia Zhenghua's words, "I've just returned to the Xia family today, and I have to follow Young Master Mu back?" "Qingkong, you know it's like this..." Naturally, Xia Zhenghua knew he was at fault and patiently explained to Xia Qingkong. "Can I go a few days later?" Xia Qingkong looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, like a clear pond under apricot blossoms, rippling with elegant waves. Xia Qingchuan saw the pitiful expression on her face and snorted. "Do you know how precious Young Master Mu's time is? He came to our house specially today, and you're putting on airs." Xia Qingkong looked at the disdain on her face and cast aThe aggrieved committee looked at Mu Chenhao sitting next to them with a aggrieved expression,Mu Chenhao also saw the delicacy on her face,Gently snort coldly,Really good at pretending。 Xia Qingkong showed weakness on the surface, but she clearly saw the disgust in Mu Chenhao's eyes. How precious is time? The time to flirt in the nightclub is really precious! The expressions of Xia Qingchuan and Mu Chenhao are really identical. Xia Qingkong now thinks that they are a match made in heaven. Let them get married as soon as possible, so this pair of dogs and men won't go out to harm others. "Do you know how many people want to marry Young Master Mu?" - What does it have to do with me? Xia Qingkong originally wanted to refute Xia Qingchuan, but seeing that her face could squeeze out a pond of spring water, she immediately changed her tune. "I know, aren't you one of them?" "Xia Qingkong!"
Xia Qingchuan was immediately pricked on the spot and her face changed instantly. "There are quite a few people like you who are eager to marry into the Mu family by all means," Xia Qingkong said with apparent sincerity, looking at Xia Qingchuan. Seeing her face turn the color of a pig's liver, full of anger but unable to speak out, she naively added another sentence. "Or perhaps you, my dear sister, should marry him?" Xia Qingchuan was originally full of rage and wanted to lose her temper, but upon hearing the last sentence, a smile immediately squeezed onto her face. Shen Miaoyu, with sharp eyes, saw the smile on her face. This silly girl, how could she smile at a time like this? So she fiercely kicked her shoe under the table. Xia Qingchuan felt herself being kicked hard and immediately withdrew her smile, her face a mix of anger and joy, twisted in an instant. Mu Chenhao watched everything on the dining table with a cold eye. Xia Qingkong's sharp wit was indeed quite challenging. However, he also had to see what this woman really wanted to do. Playing the game of feigning indifference to capture someone's heart, her mind was probably unfathomably deep! "The engagement was arranged by the elders, so this matter cannot be delayed any longer," Mu Chenhao said, looking at Xia Qingkong like an old fox. "But I've just returned to the Xia family, and moreover..." Xia Qingkong's eyes filled with tears as she continued to look at Xia Zhenghua through blurred vision. Xia Zhenghua finally couldn't hold back any longer. Although Xia Qingchuan's words were harsh, they were straightforward and true. Even Mu Chenhao had spoken, so why was this daughter still not getting it? Thinking of this, Xia Zhenghua frowned, feeling a hint of impatience in his heart. "Qingkong."
Xia Zhenghua's words carried a hint of frustration, 'You can't refuse this matter.' Xia Qingkong listened with her head bowed, her shoulders trembling slightly. Xia Zhenghua's frown deepened, and Shen Miaoyu, seeing this, started to whisper in her ear. 'Miss Xia Qingkong has just returned, it's normal for her to be reluctant to leave.' 'A wild girl with a single-minded determination to come back, although she helped father get the contract, such deliberation, I wouldn't believe she has no ulterior motive.'
Xia Qingchuan also casually reminded from the side. Xia Zhenghua was influenced by the two people's coordinated actions, and his impression of Xia Qingkong greatly diminished. Mu Chenhao watched the family of four from the side, each of them performing an excellent act, a slight smile curling up at the corner of his mouth. His gaze fell on Xia Qingkong, who was sobbing aside, and Mu Chenhao unexpectedly began to look forward to how she would fight back. This seemingly fragile little rabbit could also bite. Indeed, with swollen red eyes, Xia Qingkong looked up at Xia Zhenghua's gloomy face, then at Shen Miaoyu and Xia Qingchuan with their mocking expressions, her lips trembling. "But tomorrow is my mother's memorial day..." Thump. Like a small stone thrown into a quiet lake, ripples spread out. However, the living room was eerily quiet, with no one speaking for a moment, only Xia Qingkong's faint sobbing heard. Yet, this sentence had a huge chain reaction in everyone's heart. Xia Zhenghua was the most moved. The memorial day of his first wife, and his daughter, who had been lost for many years, had just returned home, and he was about to push her out so harshly and unfeelingly, no, to sell her out. Moreover, he had forgotten that tomorrow was actually her mother's memorial day, yet he was being so aggressive here. The dead should be honored; no matter what happened back then, Xia Zhenghua felt immense guilt at this moment, looking at Xia Qingkong, words stuck in his throat. Xia Qingkong glanced at Xia Zhenghua's twitching face, knowing she had achieved her effect, and then lowered her head to wipe away her tears. Upon hearing this, Shen Miaoyu's complexion also changed drastically. The living fear comparison with the dead, especially since that cheap woman's daughter was so shrewd. Xia Qingchuan didn't know about these matters, but hearing that it was Xia Qingkong's mother's memorial day, he thought that most likely his father would soften his heart and not send Xia Qingkong to the Mu family so quickly. So, would this also be a good thing for himself? Thinking of this, Xia Qingchuan quickly stood by Xia Qingkong's side. "Since it's auntie's memorial day, then let's postpone going for a day."
Xia Qingchuan had given her father a way out, and then Xia Zhenghua turned to Mu Chenhao and said, 'Indeed, there is something, and it's also my fault for being too hasty. Could Young Master Mu wait a little longer?' Mu Chenhao nodded, his gaze falling on Xia Qingkong. Ever since he met this woman, she had been constantly changing his perception of her. 'If that's the case, waiting a few more days is no problem.' Mu Chenhao spoke, and Xia Zhenghua breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Qingkong, who had been bowing her head and pretending to wipe away tears, now also curled the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly. After dinner, Mu Chenhao left first. Xia Zhenghua felt guilty towards his daughter and sent over quite a few things that night to compensate for her losses over the years. Xia Qingkong cried and made a fuss for most of the evening, and finally, Xia Zhenghua also went back to rest with tears streaming down his face. Once Xia Zhenghua left, Xia Qingkong quietly opened the window and climbed out along the windowsill to the outside of the kitchen. Where there are women, there are rumors; where there are women, there are catfights. Xia Qingkong believed in this principle and sneaked to the back wall of the kitchen. The most densely populated area for women in the Xia family was the backyard kitchen, and the group of aunts, middle-aged women, and young girls loved to gather and gossip. As expected, just as Xia Qingkong squatted down in the corner, she heard the discussions inside. 'To be honest, I think the second young mistress wants to marry Mu Chenhao.'
