Thinking of this, Xiao Yue patted the bed and said, "You can lie down and cover yourself too. It's cooler to sit outside."

In fact, it wasn't cold at all. Xiao Yue's room had always been temperature-controlled, so she wouldn't feel uncomfortable at all, but Mo Qing still followed her, took off his slippers and sat in the bed.

Xiao Yue leaned into her husband's arms and said, "If I really leave, you will be lonely. If you want to find a partner, then go ahead. But if you don't have deep feelings for me, then don't get married. This will save my children from having another stepmother who will make them uncomfortable."

Mo Qing stroked his wife's hair and said with a smile: "You have been thinking too much recently. You know me best. Don't always think about things that make you uncomfortable. If you are really worried, try to get better soon."

Xiao Yue also knew that she had been thinking too much recently, but she couldn't control herself. She was the type who tended to think too much, otherwise she wouldn't have suffered from that difficult mental illness before.

When she was young, her parents were praised by everyone as a model couple, but less than two years after her mother died, her father remarried. At that time, her father was in his fifties, and he and her mother could be said to have almost finished their lives together.

The happiness between her parents made Xiao Yue believe that all couples should be deeply in love and only love this person. However, her father's remarriage directly broke Xiao Yue's heart in two. Xiao Yue felt that this was a betrayal.

The education and upbringing she received told her that her father was a human being too and needed emotional support. He had been drowning in the pain of losing his wife for two years, and finally someone could help him get over it. As a daughter, she should be happy for him and give him support.

Xiao Yue supported her father and sent her blessings to his new marriage. In front of everyone, she played the role of an excellent daughter, and even though her father remarried, he still placed her in the most important position.

But only Xiao Yue herself knew that no matter how perfect her performance was, it was just an performance. Her father was originally the perfect man in her heart, but his remarriage broke this image and shattered her trust in men.

Many times, Xiao Yue felt that she was split into two people. One was her who was perfect and considerate in every way, and the other was her who was bored with everything and felt that everything was fake.

Now, as her body deteriorates, the thought that everyone is a masked person begins to influence her mind more and more.

Mo Qing is a good man, a good husband, and a good father, but she still can't trust him. She has always known that this is her psychological problem and has been cooperating with the treatment.

But the effect was not good, because she could not trust her psychologist. She was used to keeping her thoughts to herself, and no one could make her analyze herself with confidence.

Xiao Yue felt that she was very hypocritical at the moment. She clearly wanted to say, "How can you men be trusted? I just saw through your nature and arranged your funeral in advance."

At this moment, she not only felt that she was hypocritical, but even Mo Qing had become insincere in her mind.

Xiao Yue felt depressed and uncomfortable. She pounded her chest. Mo Qing asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable again? I'll go call the doctor."

Xiao Yue held him back and said, "It's okay, I just feel a little stuffy. Don't call the doctor all the time. I'll be fine after a while."

Seeing that Mo Qing didn't get out of bed, Xiao Yue took a few deep breaths before saying, "I'm serious. I understand that you men have needs. You've been guarding me all these years, and it's been very hard. If I really leave, and you have someone you like and want to relieve your loneliness, I understand that, but I have to think about my children.

Also, if you really look for someone in the future, this person must not be Li Zhenzhen. You must promise me this."

Mo Qing frowned when he heard this. He knew that his wife was worrying a lot and that she had been trying hard to change herself. But perhaps because of her serious illness, she couldn't help but worrying too much now.

"I promise you everything you said. I will not find a stepmother for the children, and I will not have any involvement with Li Zhenzhen anymore. If you think too much while you are sick, it will only make your condition worse. Ayue, I just want everyone in our family to be well-off. Please try harder for us." Mo Qing promised while hugging his wife.

Xiao Yue only took Mo Qing's first words to heart: "Just promise me, don't let my child suffer any grievances in the future, don't have any contact with Li Zhenzhen, I don't trust this woman..."

Xiao Yue closed her eyes somewhat listlessly. Li Zhenzhen was a very considerate woman. Such people were either truly upright or had deep thoughts. But no matter which type Li Zhenzhen was, Xiao Yue didn't want Mo Qing to rekindle their old relationship with her.

Xiao Yue persisted for another half a month. Mo Qing sent someone to notify Mo Cheng who was away to come back as soon as possible. On the day Mo Cheng came back, Xiao Yue's spirits were much better than usual. The family had dinner together, and Xiao Yue's appetite was much better than usual.

After dinner, the father and son talked about work in Xiao Yue's bedroom for a while. The daughter sat next to Xiao Yue and whispered to her. The atmosphere was unusually harmonious and beautiful. However, in the second half of the night, when Mo Qing habitually checked on his wife, her body was no longer warm.

Xiao Yue left this world when the severe cold was receding. Mo Qing followed her wishes and kept the funeral simple, sending her off quietly.

Chen Jiaojiao brought back the daily necessities, put them in the storage room, and then walked into her mother's room: "Mom, Xiao Yue died, and the funeral was held quietly. Even many of us from the family were not notified to attend. After all, she was the wife of the head of the Mo family, and I don't know why the funeral was so simple."

Li Zhenzhen was altering clothes by the bed. When she heard Chen Jiaojiao's words, she paused for a moment and then said with emotion, "It's better for her to be gone. Her illness was hard to live with, and her life is difficult now. It's better for her to be gone."

Chen Jiaojiao said disapprovingly: "No matter how hard life is, it's not as hard as theirs. They live a comfortable life."

As she spoke, she walked up to her mother and saw that the clothes in her hand were men's shirts. Chen Jiaojiao frowned and said with some dissatisfaction, "Mom, are you making clothes for that Captain Gao? You are not really attracted to him, are you? Don't be confused. If you want to get married again, I will help you look for someone nearby. You can find many good ones. Captain Gao is really not good enough."

Li Zhenzhen resumed her work: "What nonsense are you talking about? You don't have to worry about my affairs. Captain Gao has put a lot of effort into finding your brother recently. I'm just thanking him."

Chen Jiaojiao sat aside and watched Li Zhenzhen busying herself, and kept saying, "That's his duty, he should do it, the Mo family pays him a salary. Isn't this dress a little small? Captain Gao is so tall, I think this dress is not suitable, right?"

Li Zhenzhen didn't want Chen Jiaojiao to notice anything, so she put the clothes away and replied casually, "I haven't done these before, so I don't care if it's appropriate or not. Anyway, I just want to express my gratitude."

Chen Jiaojiao didn't care about this matter. She changed the subject and said, "Master Mo has lost his wife. He must be very sad recently. Mom, do you want to go visit him?"

Li Zhenzhen looked at her daughter in silence: "What are you thinking about? If I can't wait to get close to him now, it would be Sima Zhao's intention, and everyone would know it, and I would be laughed at. Besides, I don't have that intention. Mo Qing is not that easy to take down. It's best not to touch a bone that is not easy to chew."

Chen Jiaojiao naturally knew that she couldn't be impatient. She just wanted to test her mother's attitude to see if she had such intention. Now, after hearing her mother's answer, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"You don't know, Xiao Yue just died, many people in the clan are thinking about introducing new people to the patriarch, they are so anxious! I wonder if the Mo patriarch can resist these wild and wild butterflies?"

Li Zhenzhen smiled: "If he can't even handle these, how can he hold the position of the head of the family? You, your thinking is still too limited, don't just focus on those things between men and women."

Chen Jiaojiao became even more depressed after hearing this: "Who wants to see these things? These things have to revolve around me. That useless Mo Ze has found three women. His mother has found all the old, middle-aged and young women for him. I feel sick when I see them now. Mom, it's been more than two months since my brother's incident. Don't you have to pay attention to me? I can't stand that crazy woman anymore!"

Li Zhenzhen looked at the time and started packing. "I'll discuss this with you when I get back. I've made an appointment with Captain Gao. I'm going to meet him now to give him a thank-you gift and ask him if there's any new progress on your brother's matter."

Chen Jiaojiao watched Li Zhenzhen pack up several pieces of clothes. She casually opened them and took a look, and asked doubtfully, "Captain Gao can't wear these clothes, right? Mom, are you really going to see Captain Gao?"

Li Zhenzhen responded quickly: "If you don't believe me, come with me. I can only alter these clothes to this shape. If they don't fit, I can find someone else to alter them."

Chen Jiaojiao had just come back from outside, so naturally she didn't want to go out again: "The snow is melting outside, and the road is not easy to walk on. Mom, please be careful on the road and come back early."
