Chapter 2004: My Heart Hurts More for My Daughter
āMianmian, why are you here?ā Madam Bai turned around and looked at her daughter affectionately. āAre you hungry? Do you want to eat something first? Iāll be done in 10 minutes at most. If youāre hungry, you can...ā
āMom, Iām not hungry.ā Qiao Mianmian walked to Madam Bai and looked at the dishes on the table. She rolled up her sleeves and said, āLet me help you.ā
āGo, go, go. Go out quickly.ā Madam Bai reached out and gently pushed her. āYou can just go out and wait. Donāt smell like oil and smoke.ā
āMom, I have nothing to do anyway.ā Qiao Mianmian called a housemaid over and got her to get an apron. She put it on and started cutting the vegetables. āYouāve always been the one cooking for me. Iāll make two dishes for you today. But my culinary skills arenāt as good as yours. Mom, donāt mind me.ā
Madam Bai didnāt stop her anymore.
When she heard that her daughter wanted to cook for her, she said in relief, āHow could I dislike it? As long as itās made by you, Iāll like it no matter what it is. I just feel that you must be tired after just coming back and want you to rest more.ā
āIām not tired.ā Qiao Mianmian turned around and smiled at her. āMom, Iām really not tired at all. Iāll cook the remaining two dishes, you go rest.ā
Madam Bai felt heartache as she watched her skillful cutting.
If it was another familyās daughter, she wouldnāt do this.
Every one of them had been served since they were young.
Not to mention cooking, if Qiao Mianmian had grown up in the Bai family, she would be like a child who grew up in a honey pot. She wouldnāt have to learn to do such trivial household chores.
As she thought about it, Madam Baiās heart ached for her daughter.
āMianmian, why donāt you move back here for a while? This way, I can help you recuperate. We can spend a few more days together. Mom really canāt bear for you to leave so soon. Weāve been apart for more than 10 years, and youāre rarely home. Mom misses you and canāt see you often.ā
Qiao Mianmian couldnāt agree to Madam Baiās request.
She wasnāt alone.
Moreover, she had promised Mo Yesi that she would accompany him after this.
If she stayed in the Bai family, Mo Yesi would definitely feel uncomfortable even if he didnāt say anything.
āMom, Iāve already made an appointment with Mo Yesi. Heāll take me overseas to play. Iāve already let him down once, I donāt want to fail him again. Iāll come back often to accompany you when Iām free in the future, alright?ā
Madam Bai looked disappointed.
But she knew that her request was inappropriate.
Her daughter was married.
It wasnāt realistic for her to abandon her husband and return to her parentsā house.
That would be unreasonable.
If Qiao Mianmian really agreed to move back, the Mo family would definitely object.
āMom is just saying. Take it that I didnāt say anything.ā Madam Bai went forward and held her hand. āAs long as my Little Seven is happy and comes back to see me occasionally, Mom will be satisfied.ā
...
After eating, Qiao Mianmian took a nap before leaving the Bai family.
She scrolled through Weibo in the car.
She was shocked to see that, after Mo Yesiās post, the news disappeared.
