Chapter 578: 578. He still wants to harm me for the rest of my life

It has been over 20 hours since she sent the last text message to Lu Moqing the day before yesterday. She hasn’t replied to his message, and Lu Moqing hasn’t sent any more either.

Usually, when she’s busy, she doesn’t feel much. But now, sitting alone on the sofa, facing the quiet living room, the suffocating sense of loneliness suddenly creeps in like vines, climbing and growing within her bloodstream.

Qiao Er hasn’t slept either. Seemingly sensing that Mommy is unhappy, he slowly crawls up onto her lap and lets out a meow, as if to comfort her.

Qiao Xu holds Qiao Er in her arms, gently stroking his back and looking at the beautiful teenager. She imagines Lu Moqing picking out a pet in the pet store, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curve into a smile.

She holds Qiao Er upright in front of her and asks, "Do you know that your Daddy is a menace? He’s already hurt me once, and now he wants to hurt me for the rest of my life. What should I do?"

She’s asking Qiao Er, but it’s also like she’s talking to herself.

Qiao Er doesn’t understand what Mommy is saying, but he meows a couple of times to answer her nonetheless.

Leaning back against the sofa, she looks at the ceiling and talks to herself, "If I can’t let go, then let’s give us both a chance. What do you think, is this decision right or wrong?"

"Maybe... he’s not as bad as I think, right?"

"The worst outcome... is just losing again, right?"

"..."

She holds Qiao Er and talks to herself for a long time, as if comforting herself and confirming her decision.

Qiao Er doesn’t understand, so he steps on Qiao Xu’s stomach to massage her.

After a long time, Qiao Xu picks up Qiao Er again and gazes directly into his beautiful blue eyes, asking, "Little Er, do you want a little sister?"

"Meow~"

Qiao Xu doesn’t know if he understood her or not, but hearing his meow, she can’t help but laugh. Patting his little buttocks, she says:

"Go to sleep, your brother is already asleep."

Qiao Er might have truly understood this time. He leaves Qiao Xu’s side and wiggles his butt as he crawls into his cat nest, slowly closing his eyes.

Qiao Xu lowers the volume on the TV, lies sideways on the sofa, and after a while, she hears slow footsteps approaching the entrance.

She’s startled and sits up abruptly.

There are only two apartments on this floor, hers and Lu Moqing’s next door. At this time of night, there shouldn’t be any footsteps outside the door.

She suddenly sits up from the sofa and hears someone entering the entrance code.

She gets up, quickly walks to the entrance hall, and grabs a decorative vase from the hall cabinet, clutching it tightly in her hand.

The lock is unlocked, and the person outside slows down to push the door open.

Qiao Xu’s heart races, her breath caught in her throat.

The moonlight streaming into the living room casts a tall shadow of the person standing at the door.

In the darkness, Qiao Xu raises the vase in her hand and smashes it down directly at the person’s head.

The person reacts quickly, turning to avoid the force of Qiao Xu’s attack. Qiao Xu, using too much force, is propelled forward by the momentum of the vase and nearly hits her head on the corner of the tea table.

She’s caught around the waist by the person behind her.

Qiao Xu stiffens, turns around with the vase to strike back, but her wrist is caught and the vase is snatched away.

That person embraces her tightly, his hoarse voice pressing low, "Xuxu, it’s me."
