“Daddy, don’t fight with Mommy, okay?” Chi Ze whispered to him.
“Go back to your room.” Chi Mingwei’s tone sank.
Chi Ze didn’t dare to say anything else and followed Chi Yan upstairs.
In the blink of an eye, only Zhu Limin and Chi Mingwei were left in the huge living room.
“Hubby, how’s Dad’s health?” Zhu Limin had also sensed something wrong with Chi Mingwei. She had done a shameful deed earlier, so she looked a little unnatural under his gloomy gaze.
“Where on earth did you go?” Chi Mingwei asked word for word.
“Didn’t Yanyan tell you my mom wasn’t feeling well, so I went to visit her,” Zhu Limin said, pretending to be calm. “If you don’t believe me, you can call her.”
Chi Mingwei stared at her coldly, as if he wanted to see through her.
Zhu Limin straightened her neck and let him examine her. However, her heart had long been thrown into turmoil.
She really felt that her relationship with Chi Mingwei had become worse recently.
He seemed to have seen through some of her secrets, but he didn’t intend to say them out loud.
This feeling was undoubtedly a torture to her.
Chi Mingwei stared at her for minutes until her heart almost jumped out of her throat. Only then did he say slowly, “Since your mom isn’t feeling well, you should go back and accompany her more.”
Zhu Limin heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that.
She was really scared to death.
She thought that Chi Mingwei knew that she hadn’t been to her mother’s place today.
“I understand, Hubby. It’ll be our wedding anniversary in two days,” Zhu Limin said as she took two steps forward and approached him. “Shall we go on a vacation and spend some time alone together? We haven’t had time together in a long time.”
Chi Mingwei pushed her away gently and said coldly, “I’ve been quite busy recently. If you want to take a vacation, you can go by yourself.”
The smile on Zhu Limin’s face froze instantly as she looked at him with eyes filled with hidden bitterness.
It’s all Chi Jiao’s fault. Ever since she came back, Chi Mingwei’s attitude towards me has been deteriorating day by day.
“Also…” Chi Mingwei stared at her. “Your good daughter almost caused a major disaster today, did you know that?”
Zhu Limin knew what he was referring to. Chi Yan had already told her about it on the way back.
However, she didn’t feel that Chi Yan had done anything wrong.
As the saying went: humans make mistakes, just as horses will trip at times.
Who could guarantee that they wouldn’t do anything wrong once in their lives?
“Hubby, Yanyan did it for the sake of the Old Master. She wasn’t trying to intentionally harm him. She’s very upset now as well. She even cried badly on the way back.” Zhu Limin was a little dissatisfied with his tone when he mentioned Chi Yan.
What did he mean by “her good daughter”? Was he trying to draw a line between himself and them?
No way!
“If only you could be so tolerant towards Jiaojiao as well,” Chi Mingwei said with a cold expression.
“How am I not tolerant of Jiaojiao?! On the other hand, your dear daughter doesn’t smile when she sees me. No matter what, I’m still an elder, right?!” Zhu Limin couldn’t hold it in anymore. All the grievances she had suffered over the past few days exploded at this moment. “Chi Mingwei, even if you’re biased, you have to have a limit. You actually made Yanyan apologize to Jiaojiao today! She’s her older sister. Do you plan to make her unable to lift her head in front of Jiaojiao for the rest of her life? Don’t go overboard!”
