“But now Mother is so good, she’s extremely good to me, she makes all sorts of delicious food for me, she protects and dotes on me, and she coaxes me to sleep…”
He said a lot about how good Tao Lengshuang was to him, his words full of affection for her.
Listening to her son’s praise for Tao Lengshuang, Mo Lingxi couldn’t help but recall all her good qualities.
Since Tao Lengshuang had changed, not only had the home become peaceful and comfortable, but life had also improved, with no more messy affairs.
“Xiao Feng, Father has his own difficulties.”
Xiao Feng didn’t understand these things, but he had his own reasoning: “Father, you have your difficulties, Mother has her difficulties, and Xiao Feng also has his difficulties.”
“Everyone has difficulties, and moreover, Mother is so good to you, freeing you from worries, so why do you still treat Mother like that?”
These words stirred up complex emotions in Mo Lingxi’s heart.
Yes, Tao Lengshuang also had her difficulties, and she hadn’t really done anything to him, yet he treated her this way.
“Xiao Feng, it was Father’s mistake. This time, Father will apologize to your Mother properly.”
Xiao Feng beamed, patting his chest: “Oh dear, Father worries Xiao Feng too much.”
“However, seeing that Father knows his mistake and is willing to correct it, I will forgive you.”
Mo Lingxi smiled faintly and said softly, “Then, Xiao Feng, are you willing to help Father gain your Mother’s forgiveness?”
Xiao Feng indicated he could, and even knocked on Tao Lengshuang’s door, saying he wanted to apologize to her with his Father.
He even said that if Mother didn’t open the door, he would kneel and refuse to get up.
He would actually kneel.
Not only did he kneel, but he also kept winking at Mo Lingxi, signaling his Father to quickly kneel and apologize.
Zi Cheng, who was watching the scene: “…” Is Xiao Feng trying to set up his Father?
One day, when Xiao Feng learns of his Father’s true identity, he will probably regret his actions today.
Mo Lingxi’s eyelids twitched. For some reason, Xiao Feng insisted that he kneel and apologize to Tao Lengshuang.
If he didn’t know the child’s nature, he would have thought Xiao Feng was deliberately tormenting him.
“Xiao Feng, kneeling is impossible.”
“Why?” Xiao Feng asked, puffing out his cheeks. “If Father doesn’t kneel, it means you’re not sincerely apologizing to Mother.”
“Father is so mean!”
Mo Lingxi gently squeezed his son’s face and explained, “Xiao Feng, a man’s knees are made of gold.”
Xiao Feng blinked in confusion, “But Father isn’t kneeling to someone else, he’s kneeling to apologize to his own wife.”
This twisted logic almost made Mo Lingxi’s heart stop: “Xiao Feng, no one kneels to apologize to their wife.”
“Many people in the village kneel to apologize to their wives; I’ve seen it myself.”
This time, Mo Lingxi was speechless. He really didn’t know how to explain it to Xiao Feng.
“Xiao Feng.”
Zi Cheng stifled a laugh, his voice trembling as he explained, “Your Father has a different status, and besides, it’s not necessary to kneel to apologize. The most important thing is sincerity, do you understand?”
Xiao Feng seemed to understand but not quite: “Cousin, do you mean Father isn’t sincerely apologizing to Mother?”
Zi Cheng looked at Mo Lingxi sympathetically and gently patted Xiao Feng’s head, “Your Father is sincerely apologizing, he just can’t save face.”
Xiao Feng suddenly let out a long “Oh,” as if he understood: “Father cares too much about his reputation!”
Mo Lingxi: “…” So tired, can he exchange his son?
Zi Cheng was almost doubled over with laughter. Xiao Feng was truly a treasure.
“Xiao Feng, men are all proud, just to varying degrees. Your Father… uh.”
Feeling Mo Lingxi’s murderous gaze, he quickly corrected himself, “Xiao Feng, apologizing doesn’t require kneeling.”
“Kneeling is a very solemn matter. Wouldn’t it be strange if one knelt every time they made a mistake?”
Xiao Feng thought about the scene and nodded as if he had a sudden realization, “Cousin is so right, one shouldn’t kneel every time they make a mistake.”
“Then how should Father apologize to Mother this time?”
Zi Cheng smiled gently, “We’ll have to wait until Father truly thinks it through.”
If his uncle hasn’t figured it out yet, even if he apologizes now, similar incidents might occur in the future.
Xiao Feng didn’t quite understand. In his opinion, he should apologize immediately, otherwise, he would forget if he delayed.
“Then is Father going to apologize now?”
Zi Cheng pulled Xiao Feng up and smiled, “That depends on what Father thinks.”
Xiao Feng looked at Mo Lingxi expectantly, “Father, you must apologize to Mother properly, otherwise, if Mother doesn’t forgive you and kicks you out of the house, what will you do?”
Mo Lingxi once again had the thought of exchanging sons. He really wanted to know what kind of messy thoughts were in Xiao Feng’s little head.
“Xiao Feng, I will talk to your Mother properly, but you can’t say these things anymore.”
Xiao Feng didn’t think his words were wrong. In his opinion, one should apologize as soon as possible. “Okay, Father.”
Under the gaze of Xiao Feng and Zi Cheng, Mo Lingxi knocked on the door, “Tao Lengshuang, let’s really talk this time.”
Tao Lengshuang, who had heard all the conversation from inside, had rolled her eyes countless times.
She really suspected that Mo Lingxi’s emotional intelligence had all turned into intelligence.
Looking at what he did and listening to what he said, anyone else would have been angered to death by him.
“Just shut up!” she said unpleasantly.
Mo Lingxi touched his nose, “I really want to have a good talk with you.”
Tao Lengshuang really didn’t want to talk to Mo Lingxi anymore. She was truly worried that if they talked further, she would anger herself to death.
“I want some quiet, can I?”
Upon hearing this, Mo Lingxi agreed, saying he would talk to Tao Lengshuang slowly after she calmed down.
Zi Cheng didn’t know what to say, watching this. The doctor said she needed quiet, and his uncle really let her be quiet.
He truly admired his uncle.
Mo Lingxi was unaware of his nephew’s thoughts. He went to the kitchen to chop wood, thinking about what to cook for lunch.
During this period, he had been preparing his own meals, and Tao Lengshuang simply wouldn’t cook for him.
Even if there were extra meals, she wouldn’t give them to him.
Thinking of this, Mo Lingxi felt a bit displeased, but more so, he felt apologetic. In fact, it was his lack of consideration that led to this situation.
“Uncle.”
Zi Cheng stood at the kitchen door and reminded him, “If you continue like this with the doctor, then I won’t be able to cure this蛊 (gu).”
After returning, he had sought out trustworthy doctors, but none could help him with the蛊.
Mo Lingxi’s chopping motion paused, and he once again came to Tao Lengshuang’s door, “Tao Lengshuang, can you treat Zi Cheng first?”
“Our matters can be discussed and handled as we see fit.”
Tao Lengshuang was extremely annoyed by Mo Lingxi’s twisted logic, “I don’t have the compassion of a healer, and I can’t cure your nephew’s illness. You two should seek help elsewhere.”
Suddenly, with a ‘bang,’ the door was forcefully opened.
Mo Lingxi strode in, his face grim, and walked up to Tao Lengshuang, staring directly at her.
