Drifting Towards You

Li Mubai didn't make a sound, but lightly dropped his big hand on top of her head.

He knows better than anyone else, how can he not be sad?

That kind of pain is like a destiny that you can't get rid of with all your strength, even if you try to stay away, it still won't help.

Xia Feise leaned in his arms and let out a long sigh.

Both of them were silent for a long time, until Xia Feise slowly raised her head to look at him and whispered, "I will bring you to see Dad next time."

"Good." Li Mubai said softly.

"Let's go home." Xia Feise said softly, a little tired. Although she didn't shed many tears, her eyes were still a little red and swollen.

Li Mubai drove downstairs in silence all the way, and when she turned her head, she saw that she was asleep with her coat on her cheek.

But it seemed that he was not sleeping very well, and his brows were slightly twisted, as if something unhappy had happened.

Li Mubai did not wake her up, but hugged her directly after getting out of the car.

Xia Feise opened her eyes in a daze, a little sleepy.

Li Mubai whispered: "Go to sleep."

Xia Feise blinked her heavy eyelids, then gently closed her eyes, a little exhausted.

It feels like a battle has just been fought, exhausted from the inside out.

Li Mubai took her home and put her on the bed.

Xia Feise didn't fall asleep, she slowly got up, took off her clothes and changed into her pajamas before getting into the bed again, and then looked at Li Mubai and whispered, "Are you going to sleep together?"

Li Mubai wrapped the quilt tightly for her, and said warmly: "I just got up and won't sleep anymore."

"Okay." Xia Feise retracted into the quilt without making a sound.

He sat on the side of the bed and looked at her. After a while, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and her breathing gradually became even more uniform.

Li Mubai tucked the quilt for her, lowered his head and gently dropped a kiss on her eyes, then got up and exited the bedroom, took the car key and went downstairs.

On the other side, Mother Yao sat in the same place after Xia Feise left, and she couldn't help but recall what she said.

After sitting for a long time, she didn't come back to her senses until Father Yao called.

"How? Did she promise?" Father Yao said in a deep voice.

"No..." Mother Yao said slowly.

Father Yao frowned: "Did you tell her well? Didn't it make her feel unhappy? She has a very close relationship with Li Mubai, and our family must not be offended."

Mother Yao held the phone with both hands and was a little cramped: "No...no, I have always been very good and spoke very polite. But...but she still seemed...very determined when she left, and she seemed a little unhappy."

Father Yao's brow furrowed tighter, and he said nothing.

Mother Yao said again: "Will there be any trouble? Will it hurt our house?"

"It shouldn't be. After all, this kind of thing will happen to no one. Especially when she is with Li Mubai now, she is not short of money or power, so it is normal to refuse. As for the unhappy...probably it is because of you. This mother."

Mother Yao muttered to herself: "Because of me..."

"I said before that you should have a good relationship with her. After so long, you haven't made any progress at all. How can you say that there are such strange mothers and daughters? Oh, forget it, you come back first."

When the words were over, the phone was hung up with a ‘pop’, seemingly full of helplessness.

Mother Yao felt a little uncomfortable thinking of Xia Feise's words.

Does he really treat her as a vase that can only decorate the facade?

Or it is because she gave birth to two children that he has always been so kind to her...
