Chapter 1052: Seeking the whereabouts of Mo Erni (1)
The woman’s accusation slapped Xiao Ruiyuan across the face, causing his heart to ache in tandem. Wasn’t childbirth like crossing the Gate of Hell? Hadn’t his own mother died early due to complications during his birth, her health greatly deteriorated?
Yanyan had just come of age, she was still so young, how could she not be afraid? Xiao Ruiyuan wished he could slap himself for not only failing to understand her fears but for also losing his temper with her.
Seeing the tear stains on the woman’s face made Xiao Ruiyuan feel even worse. He had told himself to cherish her, to pamper her with joy for a lifetime. She was not one to cry, yet she had shed tears in front of him—all because of him!
At this moment, Xiao Ruiyuan had no doubts about Mo Yan’s words, and his anger had dissipated, leaving only a deep sense of pity for Mo Yan. He reached out to wipe away her tears but was ruthlessly avoided.
"Don’t touch me!"
As Xiao Ruiyuan’s expression changed in an instant, Mo Yan knew she had dodged a bullet, with her heart suddenly bursting with joy. But to carry the act through and avoid revealing any flaws, she cried even harder, "Just because I misspoke, you were harsh with me. In your heart, I’m not that important at all; you don’t care about me one bit."
As she spoke, Mo Yan suddenly felt something was off: Why did these words sound like the accusations a wronged heroine would make to the hero in those trashy melodramas from her previous life?
