Chapter 1691. I was wrong, don’t be angry.
Chapter 1691. I was wrong, don’t be angry.
Lu Moqing’s body stiffened a bit when her hand approached his.
He couldn’t bear to be angry with her, but he didn’t want to forgive her so easily either.
He didn’t want her to automatically exclude him first when similar situations arose in the future.
This time, he was genuinely angry and disappointed with her.
But seeing how she had been trying to ingratiate herself with him these past few days, he began to wonder if he was being too harsh and if she was feeling sad and upset.
However, he thought it might be good to let her feel upset for a while, so she could truly understand the pain he felt when he was heartbroken.
Throughout these days, he had been struggling with this dilemma.
When Qiaoxu held Lu Moqing’s hand and saw that he didn’t shake her off, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she took advantage and moved closer to his embrace, feeling the familiar warmth returning.
These past few days, her surroundings had been cold and distant, and she couldn’t sleep on her own, perhaps because she was used to his embrace.
Rather than going back to this bed without his warmth, she would spend the night awake working.
As Lu Moqing sensed her approaching, he moved slightly away from her like a sulking wife.
Feeling the intentional distance he tried to put between them, Qiaoxu’s heart ached, but she still shamelessly moved closer.
Seeing that he intended to move further away, she boldly hugged him, burying her face in his chest and whispered:
"I was wrong. Please don’t be mad."
Lu Moqing was taken aback, looking down at the woman burying her face in his chest, his heart softened once again.
"I shouldn’t have made decisions on my own without considering you and our child’s feelings. I shouldn’t have completely disregarded your opinions. I’m sorry."
She apologized with downcast eyes, and although no one could see her expression in the darkness, her apology was sincere.
Lu Moqing knew it was time to stop.
After ignoring her for seven or eight days, not responding to a single text message or phone call, and showing his displeasure when he returned, it was time to let go. Otherwise, he might really lose his wife.
A sigh sounded above Qiaoxu’s head.
As Qiaoxu raised her head to look at him, she felt the previously still arm around her moving slowly, embracing her and pulling her into his arms.
The quilt was pulled over her by him, and she heard him say:
"Do you know you were wrong?"
"Hmm."
Qiaoxu responded softly, leaning her face closer to his chest.
"Will you go to Gu Junhao again?"
This time, Qiaoxu didn’t immediately answer Lu Moqing, but just leaned against him without saying a word.
Lu Moqing knew she still had reservations, but at least she could recognize her own mistakes, which was progress.
After a few seconds of silence, Lu Moqing said:
"I went to Auston this time and asked about the progress of the antidote research..."
Qiaoxu looked up at him from his chest, her eyes sparkling with a hint of light.
Lu Moqing looked at her, holding her somewhat cold cheeks with both hands, and said:
"Xuxu, the antidote can be researched, and we are all trying our best to find a solution. I know you want Xia Yumo to stand up again, but is Gu Junhao really trustworthy?"
His gaze locked onto Qiaoxu’s eyes.
His deep black eyes were extraordinarily serious.
