Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Yanhui’s eyes were filled with anger, anger that he didn’t understand the reason behind. “So? Now that they called me father, I’m their biological father!”
Xu Qing felt extremely aggrieved. What did this man mean? Even if he wouldn’t be with her, why did he have to snatch her children? She smacked Qiao Yanhui’s chest crazily as she shouted, “What do you want?! You still think you’re their father? Then where have you been for the past two years? Why didn’t you come back to look for me? Do you know how much I missed you? How could you do this?! Since you left and didn’t come back, why are you saying such things now…”
Qiao Yanhui was dumbfounded. He didn’t know why he was so angry just now and blurted it out! He didn’t expect her to have such an intense reaction, but if he still didn’t understand now, he would be a fool. He obviously knew this woman! Thinking of the three children that resembled him, he suddenly grabbed Xu Qing’s wrist and asked word by word, “Do we know each other?”
Xu Qing looked at Qiao Yanhui angrily. “You think we don’t know each other?” In the next second, Xu Qing suddenly thought of something and subconsciously wanted to grab Qiao Yanhui’s wrist to take his pulse, but Qiao Yanhui dodged. This was Qiao Yanhui’s habit. He didn’t want to let others know about his physical condition. He was already being very lenient by not sending Xu Qing flying just now!
As Xu Qing stared at the aloof and estranged Qiao Yanhui, she asked in disbelief, “You don’t know who I am? You don’t recognize me?”
Qiao Yanhui asked, “Should I know you?” Qiao Yanhui felt that he was acting really strange today, completely unlike himself. How could he be so close to a woman?! He couldn’t resist the urge to approach her again. When this woman rushed forward to slap him, he actually didn’t kill this woman in a fit of anger.
Xu Qing’s expression darkened. From Qiao Yanhui’s expression, it seemed that he really didn’t know who she was! Then what had happened in the past two years? Why did Qiao Yanhui not recognize her anymore? Xu Qing was filled with doubts, but Qiao Yanhui didn’t explain.
Xu Qing tried her best to calm down as she said, “Can I take your pulse?”
Qiao Yanhui frowned slightly and was clearly unwilling. He didn’t know who this woman was, so how could he reveal his secret to her? He had been poisoned and wouldn’t live for more than a year. If others found out, it would definitely cause a commotion.
Upon seeing Qiao Yanhui’s look of refusal, Xu Qing was enraged! She grabbed Qiao Yanhui’s collar and said word by word, “Listen carefully. My name is Xu Qing! I’m your wife!”
With that, Xu Qing left with the three children.
Qiao Yanhui was stunned! He tried his best to recall it, but his face suddenly contorted with pain. He couldn’t help but squat on the ground and cover his head. His head ached terribly! He wanted to reach out and hold Xu Qing, but his headache was really too painful. He couldn’t stand up and could only watch the four of them leave.
Xu Qing walked on the road with a heavy expression. She didn’t even hear Xu Hanxue’s shouts.
“Mother, do you not like our father?” Xu Hanxue looked at Xu Qing pitifully. Why did her mother not like her father? In that case, she was really in a difficult position because she liked her father so much…
When Xu Qing didn’t respond, Xu Hanxue was about to cry. Xu Qing came back to her senses and picked Xu Hanxue up as she said, “I need to confirm some things now. I won’t forget about looking for your father.”
Xu Hanxue immediately beamed with joy, but her two brothers were silent.
Xu Qing brought the three children to Beautiful Closet to look for Deng Chengxi.
The popularity of Beautiful Closet was beyond Xu Qing’s expectations. There were really many customers. It seemed that Beautiful Closet was all the rage.
Xu Qing walked in calmly with the three children. Immediately, a shop assistant came forward to welcome her. One had to know that there was no lack of rich people in the capital. Xu Qing’s clothes weren’t high-end. The shop assistant had been in Beautiful Closet all year round and had seen all kinds of people. Naturally, she was a little disdainful of Xu Qing, but she didn’t show it and still introduced the clothes to her warmly, even though she felt that Xu Qing couldn’t afford them.
This made Xu Qing admire Deng Chengxi’s management skills. She didn’t make things difficult for the shop assistant. Xu Qing told the shop assistant that she would look around herself. She wanted to see how popular the clothes she designed were. After all, no amount of flattery could compare to the customers’ reactions.
