Xie Limo's expression shifted when he heard Yun Bixue's question . He bent down and stirred the remaining porridge before scooping another spoonful to feed her . "Don't overthink . My heart is small, and it only has space for one wife . " However, after speaking, hurt flashed fleetingly in his eyes .
That night, when Xie Limo was sitting alone on a stone stool under a flowering tree, his expression was dim despite the beautiful scenery around him . He looked at the photo of a very beautiful girl in his hands . The girl in the photo looked like she was around eighteen to nineteen years old . She looked pure and radiant with her beaming face under the cherry blossom tree, but the photo was in black and white .
Yun Bixue's question earlier made him fall into his pool of memories, and his eyes leaked of sorrow as he drowned in them .
Even though it was late at night, he couldn't resist calling his mother . When Ji Qiongxin answered her phone, he asked, "Mother, did I wake you up?"
"No, I'm not asleep yet . Limo, you sound sad . Did something happen?"
"Nothing happened, mother . I was just reminded of the past . " Xie Limo closed his eyes and sighed as he said this .
On the other end of the line, Ji Qiongxin was reminded of the person who caused them both so much heartache . After remaining silent for a while, Ji Qiongxin sadly said, "Limo, that's already in the past . Don't blame yourself . Your father and I have stopped thinking about it . All our hopes and wishes are placed upon you, and we will be at ease as long as you live peacefully . "
"Mother, is the house very quiet too?"
"We're already used to it . Since you and Bixue are married, it would be great if you have children . " Ji Qiongxin paused for a moment before carefully asking, "Limo, are you worried? Is that why you're against having a child?"
Xie Limo licked his lips and remained silent . After a while, he spoke slowly, "Mother, I will not let anything come to harm her, so I need to prepare for everything before I can give her a child . "
"Limo, you have your own ideas and views . Your father and I will support you, but a woman's heart is complicated . If you're unable to explain it after a long time, she will start having her doubts . When there's a chance or when the time is right, you can tell her everything!" After saying this, Ji Qiongxin sighed in sorrow .
"Mother, are you also thinking of sad memories?"
"Limo, you can always talk to me to lighten the burden in your heart . You have inherited superior traits from your father and me, but we have also piled even more responsibilities on your shoulders for you to bear . One doesn't have much choice in a large family like ours . Your father and I are contented and happy to see that you have your own marriage . That's why no matter how sad things were in the past, your father and I are already over it since we've placed our hopes on you . I think, for that child Bixue, you're also her beacon of hope, so you have to think clearly before taking each step . "
"Okay . "
When he finished speaking with his mother, Xie Limo continued to look at the photo in his hands . He badly wanted to burn it, but he kept it in the end . He sighed and whispered, "Don't worry, everything's fine . "
After midnight, when Xie Limo returned to the bedroom to lie beside Yun Bixue, he looked at her sleeping face and murmured, "My wife, don't leave me . " After speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead .
Yun Bixue's eyelashes twitched slightly . She was actually not asleep since she was waiting for him . She could feel that something was off with his mood as his entire being exuded sorrow .
She wanted to ask him, but she knew that if she did that, it would only worsen his pain .
While Yun Bixue was deep in her thoughts, Xie Limo's arms wrapped around her as he gently whispered, "Xue, no matter what, you have to believe in me . "
