Xiao Long applied the ointment to Qiao Xin's body until his hands opened Qiao Xin's lower clothes. Sensing that she was in danger, Qiao Xin immediately shouted without a word, and this managed to make Xiao Long startle.

"Aaah!"

​​

Qiao Xin immediately took a sitting position, hugged herself, covered her whole body, and moved away from Xiao Long. Her eyes looked at Xiao Long with that terrifying expression on her face.

"What do you want?!" Qiao Xin snapped, Xiao Long, who felt that he was being accused, was annoyed. Xiao Long intended to take care of Qiao Xin, but the woman thought he would do something strange. "Are you willing to steal the opportunity in the narrow? Do you intend to rape me, Xiao Long?!"

"Do you think I have the lust to rape you? Even your body is really unsightly at all, I want to throw up every time I'm near you, Qiqi. So stop dreaming nonsense!" annoyed at Xiao Long, he threw away the ointment in his hand, then he stood up, looking at Qiao Xin with an annoyed expression on his face.

Qiao Xin felt guilty. How could it not be, Xiao Long, applied ointment to her wound? How could she accuse Xiao Long of being perverted? Isn't that a very inappropriate thing at all? What's more is, Xiao Long was the one who took care of her all night while she had a fever last night.

Qiao Xin tried to stand up when Xiao Long walked away from her. Qiao Xin tried to hold Xiao Long's arm but was pushed away so violently by Xiao Long that Qiao Xin almost fell completely. But quickly, Xiao Long caught Qiao Xin's body which was about to fall.

The two looked at each other. Neither of them even blinked at all. But after that, the two of them hastily distanced themselves from each other, feeling extremely awkward.

"You really stink, I have to burn my bed sheet, how can there be a stinky and dirty woman like you, Qiqi!" irritated Xiao Long, stepped into the bathroom, making Qiao Xin speechless.

Qiao Xin smelled her own body, and she didn't feel any smell at all. But why did Xiao Long look so annoying? Since Qiao Xin was still feeling guilty, she decided to leave the room, went to the kitchen to make breakfast for Xiao Long before the man left for work. At least it was an apology to Xiao Long.

"Qiqi, what are you doing? Are you okay now? How are you?" asked her mother-in-law. She looked closer, examining Qiao Xin's body so affectionately.

"I'm fine, Mother. Now I can walk again, it seems last night I was exhausted, that's what made me a little unwell. Mom, you don't have to worry, okay?"

"Thankfully, I feel very guilty that you are sick, Qiqi. If you can't, it's okay, we won't force you to dance or do anything else."

"Oh no, Mother. Not at all." Qiao Xin tried to calm her mother-in-law because, after all, Qiao Xin seemed to feel guilty about everyone. How could she not? She didn't want to get her tutor fired, and she didn't want to make the banquet fail. She didn't want to embarrass the Han family to death just because of her stupidity.

"I'm fine, ma'am. Right now I want to make breakfast for Xiao Long," Qiao Xin finally said.

Hearing this, her mother-in-law looked very happy. Again, the first time there was a woman cooking food for Xiao Long, Xiao Long usually could at least eat the food he wasn't used to.

Again, Xiao Long's mother nodded. She wanted to prove one more guess about her son and daughter-in-law, then she hugged her beloved daughter-in-law's body.

"Do whatever you want to do, Qiqi. Mother will always support you," said her mother-in-law later.

Qiao Xin smiled again, and then she made soup for Xiao Long. After the breakfast that Qiao Xin made was ready, Qiao Xin rushed back into the room. Putting Xiao Long's breakfast menu on the table, seeing Xiao Long come out of the bathroom made Qiao Xin smile.

"Xiao Long, I have something to tell you."

"Stop saying anything if it's a bad thing." Xiao Long annoyed, Qiao Xin just kept quiet, even though she just wanted to apologize for what she had done earlier.

"Thank you for taking care of me," Qiao Xin finally said, walking into the bathroom, and that managed to silence Xiao Long.

For then, Xiao Long decided to put on his clothes, put on his expensive tuxedo suit and prepared to leave for the company. But when Xiao Long was about to leave the room, his eyebrows shot up at the sight of the breakfast on the table. Xiao Long looked in the direction of the bathroom door, and when he approached the food. Sitting on the sofa and clearing his throat, Xiao Long ate the food.

At first, Xiao Long was silent. How could he not, because the taste of the food he ate was much different from the food he usually made at home, even from the food he used to eat at his regular restaurant. However, the taste of this dish was not bad enough on his tongue, causing Xiao Long, who had not had time to eat since last night, and was now very hungry, even devoured the breakfast until who finished it. After who finished everything, Xiao Long rushed to his feet, looking at Qiao Xin, who seemed to come out of the bathroom with wet hair. Again, Xiao Long was silent for a moment, and somehow he felt strange with Qiao Xin's wet hair appearance.

"Later, all your private tutors won't come,"

"Why?" asked Qiao Xin, who seemed

confused. "You want to fire them? Don't do that, Xiao Long, I beg you. I promise you that if later I will be able to do whatever they teach me, I—"

"I channel them in more appropriate places for them to work, because working with you, will only make them high blood pressure,"

"Then who will teach me?" asked Qiao Xin, who seemed confused. Xiao Long cleared his throat he adjusted his tie.

"I'll teach you later," he replied, exiting the room, and this took Qiao Xin by surprise.

*****

"Mother, I didn't expect that Mother, Uncle, and An Xin would come home so soon," Xiao Long was currently at the airport, as he wanted to take his in-laws back to them hometown. It just so happened that Qiao Xin wasn't allowed to come, but she had been having quite a long conversation with her family since morning.

Qiao Xin's mother looked at Xiao Long, and she expressed gratitude for having a daughter-in-law as good as Xiao Long, then she hugged Xiao Long's body warmly.

"Xiao, thank you very much for everything. Thank you very much for your concern and for making Qiao Xin your wife, I really feel indebted to you, Xiao," said his mother-in-law again, somehow hearing his mother-in-law's words made Xiao Long feel strange as if his mother-in-law wanted to say something.

"Mother, has something happened? If so, tell me," Xiao Long finally said.

His mother-in-law looked at Xiao Long, and then she burst into tears. One thing that made Xiao Long somewhat panicked, whatever it was, whoever it was that had made his mother-in-law cry Xiao Long would never allow them to live in peace.

"Xiao, do you know, these few days when Mother was around the city, Mother came to several places. The first place mother went to was the W Corporation company, because there were Qiao Xin and Jiang Min working, at first Mother was very happy and enthusiastic, thinking that Mother would be welcomed by Mother's son after we had not seen each other for a long time. But in fact, Jiang Min, who was actually in the office, kicked out Mom and Uncle, he told us to leave, that's one thing that made Mom think was the reason you said Jiang Min was out of town on business and couldn't attend the meeting. your marriage is with Qiao Xin right? Because you already knew that Jiang Min's relationship with Qiao Xin was in a bad state, they were in trouble, or even that their current relationship had been shattered. Just because he wanted to keep his company meritorious, Jiang Min had sacrificed Qiao Xin, and fired Mother's daughter in a completely inhumane manner. Mother is very sick, Mother is very sad. But I don't dare to tell Qiao Xin this, and I ask you, don't tell Qiao Xin that I already know the truth. Let Qiao Xin keep telling her that she's still working at W Corporation with Jiang Min."

Who broke Xiao Long's heart to hear this. Xiao Long never thought that what he had done now actually hurt someone he now loves so much. Xiao Long lowered his head. What if finally, his mother-in-law found out if he was the reason Qiao Xin was fired from the company? Surely his mother-in-law would feel a lot more devastated than now, something that Xiao Long didn't dare to say.

"How do you know about all that? The matter of Qiqi being fired from the company and why?" asked Xiao Long, trying to find out. His mother-in-law seemed silent, and then she took another deep breath.

"Mother has met Jia Min, Qiao Xin's ex-lover, Xiao. And that bastard said it all, I really didn't expect that Mother's kind, innocent daughter could meet such a bad man, I'm really grateful that if Qiao Xin is now with you, you have saved her from the snare of all the assholes in the world."

Xiao Long was silent again, and his jaw clenched at his mother-in-law's words. Be thankful? If his mother-in-law knew that Xiao Long was much more despicable than those two men, what would his mother-in-law's reaction be? Xiao Long-married Qiao Xin just for the sake of his grandfather's life, a contract marriage that was only valid on paper, even Xiao Long had no intention of taking Qiao Xin seriously at all. Xiao Long doesn't know what to do now to answer his mother-in-law's question because Xiao Long feels guilty about this.

"Xiao, can you promise Mother? One promise that I want from you and I hope you will always hold on to it until you die, a promise to Mother that you can do it?"

Xiao Long was shocked, he looked at his mother-in-law with his mouth open, but he couldn't make a sound. His voice caught in his throat very real.

"W… what, Mother?" asked Xiao Long in the end, his eyes glistening with guilt for his mother-in-law. While Uncle Xiao Xin, who saw what happened, chose to leave, he couldn't bear to see all that right now.

Qiao Xin's mother touched her son-in-law's arm affectionately, and then she started crying again, and then she looked at Xiao Long with such deep eyes.

"Take care of Qiao Xin for Mother forever, stay with her until death do you two. Take care of your marriage until then, and always make Qiao Xin happy no matter what. She may be stupid, but know Xiao, that Qiao Xin is our very sincere and kind daughter. If you look deeper into her heart, you will see how perfect she is, and I beg you to accept it and promise me that."
