The Newlywed's Sweet Honey: Husband, Pamper Me to the Bone!-Chapter 898: Stay With Me Tonight (Part 2)

"Do you think your father is so easily deceived?" Qiao Yebai’s expression was calm.

"Not easily deceived, so you must have used some tricks, even at the cost of hurting yourself." Lian Xiaoxiao said bitterly, "Qiao Yebai, you can be ruthless to yourself, let alone to others. It’s ridiculous that I never realized it before."

"So, you should understand that I’m really not capable. Otherwise, your father has been dead for so many years, who am I pretending for?" Qiao Yebai glanced at her, a wicked smile on his face, "Do you really want me to stay tonight?"

"Whether you’re capable or not, I naturally have a way to judge." Lian Xiaoxiao lifted her chin slightly, "Rest assured, as long as you stay, I’ll definitely let your sister go tomorrow morning."

Qiao Yebai’s eyes seemed to darken.

After a long time, he nodded and faintly uttered, "Okay."

Lian Xiaoxiao involuntarily clenched her fists, her eyes a bit moist.

Actually, she had long known that her father wasn’t a good person. For Qiao Yebai, he had his stance, so in the end, he killed her father to rise in power. She really had no right to blame him for anything.

But her father never had a word against her, even if he was truly a great villain, committed many wrongdoings, and was hated by all, he was still her father. She had no right to blame him.

Moreover, she had to avenge him.

So she and Qiao Yebai were destined to be at odds.

For so many years, she had been making trouble for Qiao Yebai, but it was all just little skirmishes, not significant, and Qiao Yebai never took it seriously.

But she knew Qiao Yebai wasn’t incapable of dealing with her; he simply wasn’t willing to.

Perhaps out of disdain or maybe because of the bond from training together before, he went easy on her. At this point, Lian Xiaoxiao increasingly understood she wasn’t a match for this man, she couldn’t avenge her father unless she had the guts to go down with him. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

But she couldn’t bring herself to do it. Not because she couldn’t let go of herself, but because she couldn’t let go of him.

She’s had a crush on this man for so many years; what she seeks is nothing more than his focused gaze. But wanting to win his heart is a thousand times harder than killing him.

In truth, she had practically given up in her heart. After all, ever since he killed her father, there was no possibility of anything between her and this man, she could never be with the man who killed her father. So, the fact that he doesn’t like her makes it a bit easier for her to bear.

Otherwise, she would be in even more pain.

Therefore, asking him to stay and accompany her for one night, such an unrealistic request, is merely to give an account of her feelings over the years.

At night, Mu Yiliang slept restlessly, Lian Xiaoxiao never appeared again, and Qiao Yebai didn’t make a move.

Unsure what conditions Lian Xiaoxiao had proposed.

Waking up the next day, Mu Yiliang knew without looking in the mirror how bad her complexion was. After washing up, she barely felt a bit more awake when Lian Xiaoxiao came to find her.

"You can leave now, Qiao Yebai is waiting outside." Her voice was slightly hoarse.

Mu Yiliang was filled with mixed emotions of surprise and joy, "Really?"

"Hmm. Yesterday, I was rude." She gestured to invite.

Mu Yiliang glanced at her, suddenly feeling a bit suspicious; why did Lian Xiaoxiao look even more exhausted than she did? The dark circles under her eyes were heavy, and her walking posture was somewhat strange, a look that... suggested excessive indulgence.

Anyway, every time she was tormented by Yan Sijue for a whole night, she was basically in this half-dead state.
