Kiss Husband: Sweet Wife Is a Little Crisp - Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Concealing

Later, she met Ou Mengxue, and with her encouragement, her rejection of her stepmother was even stronger, and she blamed her father’s death on her.

Going to college, her high tuition and living expenses, made it so that her stepmother couldn’t breathe. She never considered her stepmother, she thought that all the money she spent was left by her father.

But she didn’t know, for just her alone, her stepbrother and stepsister almost dropped out of school, and as soon as she graduated from college, she entered Chi Jiayang’s company, but those rewards, she squandered clean every time, never remitting a penny to her family.

Until one day, her stepmother asked her to marry a strange man, and the contradiction intensified. The woman clearly knew that the person she liked was Chi Jiayang, but wanted her to marry a man she didn’t love.

Thought everything she did was to get the money. Later, she went to her door several times, bothered her, and said words in an angry manner.

“Good, you can let me marry him, but you won’t get a penny. From now on, you and I have nothing with each other, and please never appear in front of me.”

Now she knew that everything her stepmother had done before was for her own good, and that must have broken her heart.

After she married Xu Yizhi, Ou Mengxue prevented her from going to an appointment with the magazine, causing the magazine to fire her stepmother. After she knew about the matter, she blamed Ou Mengxue, but she was perfunctoried by Ou Mengxue under the guise of it being ‘for her own good’, and it never came up again.

In the days that followed, she never saw her stepmother again, and waited until her father came back and went to look for her stepbrother and stepsister. It was only then that she knew that her stepmother had died. Ling Xi wanted to recover and make up for her mistakes, but it was a pity that everything has turned into fleeting clouds.

Xu Yizhi saw her in a trance. “Ling Xi, do you remember anything about your stepmother?” Hearing Xu Yizhi’s voice, Ling Xi turned her head and looked at the side of his face.

“En, now that I think about it, I was a jerk at that time. I don’t know if she’s still mad at me.”

It took a while before Xu Yizhi opened his mouth awkwardly. “I’ll be with you.”

Ling Xi smiled lowly, if it was before, the man would have been either sarcastic or indifferent to her, and would never have been like this. No one would have been able to be gentle with a wife who was clamouring for divorce.

“Right, I have something… I’d like your help with.” Although she was shy about it, he was the only who could do it.

“Yeah.”

“I want you to help me find a child…”

Although Ling Xi did not say it was her child, Xu Yizhi faintly guessed it.

His heart could not be calm for a long time, as if it had been stirred up by a thousand layers of waves, wave after wave.

Like a deep bottomless spring, his heart was falling.

Ling Xi had no idea, that he kept a secret from her – a secret from five years ago.

He only learned today, that there was still a child between them.

He hated himself. Why didn’t he send someone to investigate it the first place? Letting Ling Xi suffer these hardships, as well as their child.

Dark tides surged in Xu Yizhi’s eyes, unconsciously showing a trace of loneliness and sadness.

Ling Xi looked at his face carefully, she knew that no man could accept that his woman was not clean, she had wanted to hide this matter, but she didn’t want to deceive him, so she had told herself that she would speak to him later.

“Yizhi?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely find out.” The hand holding the steering wheel could not help but tighten.
