Qiao Mubei felt that she was more difficult to deal with than the previous Nanxin. However, there was one thing that he understood.
"Dou Dou, I already said that he isn't your father!" Nanxin finished using his good temper and shouted.
Dou Dou was so frightened that she started crying. However, she did not dare to make a sound.
A child crying like this is bound to cause problems. Nanxin lowered his voice and softened his attitude, "Good girl Dou Dou, come home with mother."
Dou Dou hugged Qiao Mubei's neck. "Not Daddy, then Dou Dou will marry him. Dou Dou will be here, not home!"
This is really a little lover!
"I'm staying here tonight." After a long while, Nanxin had nothing left to say, and spoke as he glanced at Qiao Mubei.
Nanxin went straight up the stairs to look at the guest room. She wanted to clean up the guest room and sleep in the guest room.
Dou Dou was wrapped around Qiao Mubei until she was tired and fell asleep.
"You don't need to sleep in the guest room. You can sleep with Dou Dou." Qiao Mubei said before he stood up and left.
Xiang He called Nanxin. Only now did Nanxin remember that she had promised to eat with Xiang He today.
"Sorry, but Dou Dou has lost her temper and is making a racket to stay at Qiao Mubei's place." Nanxin was truly sorry.
Right now, Xiang He had probably waited a long time for the call to come. Xiang He did not get angry. Instead, he said with a rejoicing tone,
"I've already returned home. I was worried that you would still be waiting for me. Fortunately, you didn't come." These words made Nanxin feel no guilt.
"I didn't go, so that's it."
"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." Just as Xiang He finished speaking, the other end of the line had already ended, Nanxin did not hear anything.
It was already past twelve o'clock, and Nanxin's clothes were not taken off. He was just hugging Dou Dou and closing his eyes, preparing to go to sleep.
Perhaps it was because of the bed, but she was still unable to sleep. She got up and went to get a cup of water, only to see that the light in the study was still on.
Nanxin looked at him, and perhaps because he felt her gaze, he raised his eyes to meet hers. Qiao Mubei put down the document in his hand, his gentle voice sounded very nice.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I'm thirsty." She replied indifferently. After a pause, he sounded like he was in a business negotiation.
"Sleep early, we're going to have a lawsuit tomorrow. I hope that you can help me win this case. In terms of compensation, I won't be stingy. " She was deliberately distant from him.
When he won the case for her, she would talk to him about the divorce, hoping he wouldn't have to.
Qiao Mubei arranged the documents and placed them back in the folder. Qiao Mubei had already roughly understood the situation regarding Nanxin Hotel's case.
He had just returned and had a lot of things to do. Mu Yun did not manage to manage Zhang Bonian's restaurant anymore. Qiao Mubei looked at Nanxin.
"Alright, I'll go rest now."
"I hope you won't get too close to Dou Dou. I don't want to get involved with you anymore." Nanxin's voice was cold.
However, it had only been a few days, and Dou Dou was already so reliant on Qiao Mubei. If she could keep her temper with today, who knew what would happen in the future.
Qiao Mubei's eyes darkened, and she pursed her lips in silence. Seeing Qiao Mubei not saying a word, Nanxin thought that Qiao Mubei had agreed and turned back to his room.
The next morning, Nanxin woke up very late. She had fallen asleep very late last night, and her neck seemed to have fallen asleep, making her feel very uncomfortable.
Dou Dou obediently sat in front of the table, swinging her legs and waiting for the breakfast to be placed in front of her. Qiao Mubei had prepared a portion of the adult food for Dou Dou. Dou Dou finished drinking a cup of milk, eating a sandwich and eating two fried eggs before patting her full stomach with satisfaction.
When Nanxin woke up, Dou Dou was already full. Dou Dou smiled sweetly.
"Mom, Dou Dou has finished eating. Hurry up and finish eating. After that, send Dou Dou to school with dad." Mom and Dad sent Dou Dou to school together. She wanted to show off in front of her friends.
Seeing that Dou Dou had forgotten to be angry at her after waking up, Nanxin was finally relieved.
"Mom is not hungry, Dou Dou, come over here and carry your bag. Mom will send Dou Dou to school," Nanxin waved her over as he held her pink cartoon bag.
Nanxin hadn't eaten since last night, and she still chose to endure a meal this morning. When she loved Qiao Mubei, all she could eat was Qiao Mubei's. If they weren't together, she wouldn't even want to eat his food.
Qiao Mubei frowned.
"Your body isn't yours, don't you know how to cherish it?" Dou Dou nodded like she was pounding garlic. Her little eyes were blinking.
"That's right, that's right. Mom's body is also Dou Dou's. If Mom doesn't eat, she will get sick. If she gets sick, Dou Dou will not be taken care of." Nanxin couldn't bear to reject such a pitiful offer. He grabbed a sandwich on the table and started eating.
When Dou Dou took the initiative to pull Qiao Mubei's big palm for him to send her to school, Nanxin looked at him with eyes full of warning.
What she said to Qiao Mubei yesterday, told him not to get any closer to Dou Dou. However, Qiao Mubei's reaction did not seem to remember what Nanxin said to him at all, and she only carried Dou Dou out the door.
Qiao Mubei went to the garage to retrieve his car, and Nanxin forcibly carried Dou Dou out of the district. At the entrance of the small district, Xiang He had already been waiting for a long time.
"Why are you here?" Nanxin looked at Xiang He suspiciously. Xiang He laughed. He had told her about it yesterday, but she had not heard it.
"You promised me that you would marry me if I could persuade my parents to let us go. Does that still count? " He did not beat around the bush and directly went into the main topic.
Xiang He had handled this matter well, the key point was that something had gone wrong with her side. Nanxin thought for a moment.
"I'm afraid not. I'm not divorced yet." Xiang He knew of Qiao Mubei's existence, so he made preparations in advance.
"I've already contacted the lawyer for you. If you're free, I'll bring him to see you."
"Is the lawyer you hired experienced in the divorce case?" Nanxin was a little worried. Normal lawyers were not Qiao Mubei's match.
Xiang He's mouth slightly raised.
"Don't worry, he hasn't lost a case yet." Nanxin was so eager to get a divorce, of course he was happy.
Xiang He squatted down and looked at Dou Dou looking behind him. He asked with a smile, "What's wrong with Dou Dou? Why didn't you respond when you saw dad. Did dad make you unhappy? "
I'm sorry, but Dou Dou will not call you daddy anymore. Dou's dad will be back to look for Dou Dou and Mom." In the future, Dou Dou will call you uncle. Dou Dou doesn't want dad to be unhappy. " Dou Dou snapped her fingers in a conflicted manner.
Since she was still young, her relationship with Qiao Mubei was still unclear, but she still firmly believed that Qiao Mubei was her father. Xiang He looked at Dou Dou, as if he was grieving.
"Didn't we agree on it already? How could Dou Dou go back on her word? Children have to keep their word. " Dou Dou looked at Xiang He with a conflicted expression.
"It's not a matter of keeping your word. Dou Dou already has a dad, so you can't call me daddy. Uncle Xiang, you should know that." Xiang He was really sad. He had only wanted to cultivate feelings for Dou Dou, but now, Dou Dou did not even recognize him as his father.
When Qiao Mubei drove out of the car, Dou Dou saw the black car in the distance and immediately recognized it.
"Dad, Dou Dou is here." They were the only ones in front, and Dou Dou was jumping and waving to attract Qiao Mubei's attention.
On the other hand, Dou Dou called Qiao Mubei's father willingly and smoothly. Xiang He's eyes darkened.
"Dou Dou, let's get on." Nanxin opened Xiang He's car door and pulled Dou Dou over. She more or less understood the conversation that Xiang He and Dou Dou had just had.
If Dou Dou was not willing, she would go along with Dou Dou. Now, she knew that Dou Dou also liked Xiang He, it was just that she liked Qiao Mubei more.
Xiang He looked at Dou Dou,
"Dou Dou has already made uncle very sad. Don't tell me that uncle doesn't even want to ride his car anymore?" He purposely changed his words to go with Dou Dou's meaning and gain her sympathy.
Dou Dou's eyebrows furrowed as she got into the car. She sat in the back seat. Nanxin originally wanted to accompany Dou Dou to sit in the back, but Xiang He opened his mouth.
"Did you get a pillow on your neck?"
"How did you know?" Nanxin was a little surprised. How careful she had to be to see that she was lying on the pillow.
Xiang He smiled lightly.
"Get in the car first. I'll help you press a few times to ease up a bit."
"You can even do this?" Nanxin's opinion of Xiang He had already become a good man living at home. Xiang He raised his eyebrows.
"I used to sleep on the bed a lot, so I gave myself some experience." Qiao Mubei stopped the car, and what entered his line of sight was Xiang He and Nanxin's actions were very intimate, and Nanxin even took the initiative to hold Xiang He's hand.
His face was covered in an ashen color, and his eyes were cold. The hand gripping the steering wheel was tightly clenched. He was extremely patient.
Normally, he could still endure things like this, but he still couldn't tolerate things like this. Nanxin no longer stuck close to him, but wished to be able to stay far away from him. An indescribable fear spread from the bottom of his heart, and if he continued walking further and further away from her, then, he would lose her … He stepped on the throttle and stood in front of Xiang He's car.
