Chapter 1834 - 1836: Guo Feng Apologizes
"Master, we must consider this carefully. I think it’s best if we don’t take any action yet. Let’s see how our son reacts next. He has locked Xiaotian in the room now, which means Xiaotian is determined to leave; otherwise, he wouldn’t have done this. We should wait and see his next move."
Madam Guo felt that the key to the matter was Xiaotian. If Xiaotian was determined to leave, then it wasn’t about whether she and the master accepted Xiaotian and Little Yueyue.
The words made sense to Master Guo, but he was very worried. "What if she doesn’t want to leave?"
After all, Xiaotian marrying into the Guo family was like reaching a high branch. With such good conditions, she would never have to worry about food or clothing in the future. Could she really leave?
Madam Guo shot a glance at Master Guo; times have changed. Previously, she could believe Xiaotian was aiming high, but now Xiaotian herself is the high branch. No matter how you look at it, her family isn’t lacking, and her dowry is generous. Does she really need to aim high?
"You shouldn’t overestimate our family."
"You..." Master Guo was infuriated but saw his wife leave the main hall and return to the bedroom to sleep.
He flung his hand and followed suit!
...
Xiaotian sat there, not sleeping all night.
The child woke up several times in the middle of the night. Luckily, all the child’s things were in the room, preventing her from being too flustered.
When the child was hungry, she breastfed him. She didn’t have much milk left, but she had no choice. The child’s sucking made her hurt, but she couldn’t care less. Compared to the heartbreak, what was this little pain?
Finally, she waited for dawn and heard the sound at the door. She looked towards the entrance.
Guo Feng had wandered outside all night and finally came back. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xiaotian’s helpless gaze.
He immediately ran over, like a child who had done something wrong, and said, "My dear, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have locked you and the child in the room. I was just so scared. I was afraid you would leave, afraid you’d leave me, so I made this desperate move."
As he spoke, Xiaotian’s tears flowed again. This man who was so devoted to her, she had ultimately let him down.
She spoke, "Brother, let me go. We won’t have a future. I don’t want to see you and your parents at odds."
"No, no. I will persuade them to accept you," Guo Feng promised earnestly, hoping Xiaotian would believe him.
But Xiaotian’s eyes were emotionless. She felt it was impossible. Her parents wouldn’t agree to her staying in the family. Her staying would only add to everyone’s sadness.
"Since childhood, what have I failed to accomplish? You have to believe me, okay?"
Seeing Xiaotian not responding, Guo Feng maintained a good-natured attitude. Xiaotian pulled a strained smile at the corner of her lips. She didn’t speak; she really didn’t know what to say anymore.
At this moment, Little Yueyue started crying, and she hurried to take care of Little Yueyue, which kept the atmosphere from being too awkward.
Noticing Little Yueyue crying intensely, Guo Feng realized Little Yueyue was hungry.
He felt very guilty for locking them up. He really shouldn’t have done it; by doing so, he was hurting Xiaotian’s heart.
He quickly went out to instruct the kitchen to make milk for Little Yueyue and asked the Little Maid to come in to take care of Little Yueyue.
He himself headed to the main courtyard.
Yesterday, he was too emotional and had said many harsh words. Now, these matters needed to be handled properly, otherwise, Xiaotian would not be able to stay in this family, and he would never let such a thing happen.
