Miss, you really caught the wrong fish!

Maybe her hairstyle has changed, but her face has hardly changed. She is Liu Qingqing with long hair now.

Next to the woman, on the right side of the photo, was a man Ning Muxuan had never seen before.

His face was handsome and angular, and his posture was very upright. What surprised Ning Muxuan even more was that the man was wearing a bright police uniform.

He smiled cheerfully, holding a child in his arms...

Obviously, this is a warm and happy family portrait.

There are many photo frames like this one in the drawer, almost all of which have the image of the man in police uniform in them, and there are even a few of his personal photos.

This finally reminded Ning Muxuan of the first time she came to this room, when she saw the boy sorting something on the desk.

At that time, she looked at the neat but empty desk and felt a strange sense of disharmony, as if something was missing in the boy's room...

Thinking of it this way, what is missing is these photos that symbolize the happy memories of the boy and his family.

Ning Muxuan frowned slightly, a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes, and her beautiful and cold face was filled with bitterness...

What puzzled her even more was why the boy had hidden these photos and didn't want her to see them...

Could it be that...his original intention is the same as mine...he also doesn't want outsiders to disturb his original family...

……

--------

It's updated again, my family? If nothing goes wrong, there will be two more updates tonight, and the plot is finally entering its climax.

I really want to write some sweet stories these days, so now I’m just typing and pushing the plot.

The ten or so chapters I've written in the past few days have almost paid back the monthly tickets and rewards for this month.

Starting next month, 100 monthly tickets or 1 fire scrolls will be required to add one chapter.

I will definitely not delay it~ Thank you all for your support of Xiao Xuanzi~

217. Concession

She originally had a beautiful and graceful body, but now, in the cool morning breeze, she looked like a weak willow swaying in the wind.

——Ning Muxuan stood dejectedly in front of the desk, with her pretty head buried helplessly, her hair floating in disarray, and the loneliness and pain in her eyes seemed to be unable to be concealed any longer...

She seemed to have lost everything in an instant.

Mother's Love

Future family, preference and closeness of boys

My father's expectations of me

……

All of this, like a flood, suddenly broke into her life and took away everything she relied on...

Ning Muxuan stood still in the same place, looking at the photo frame in her hand, the bitterness in her heart was even more turbid. The dead silence and emptiness surged like an invisible big hand, strangling her neck, making it difficult for her to breathe for a moment——

"Ning'er? Are you looking for something?"

Just as Ning Muxuan was distracted, Liu Qingqing's worried voice suddenly came from behind.

When the woman turned around in a trance, she saw Liu Qingqing, who had been standing outside the door.

The other person was holding a bowl of porridge in his hand, looking at him gently and smiling softly...

In fact, Liu Qingqing had arrived earlier. Now it was breakfast time, but she didn't see the children coming downstairs. Thinking it was because the weather was cold, the siblings were taking a nap, so she made two bowls of porridge for them, which could fill their stomachs and warm their bodies.

The study room where little Qin Heng was located was at the end of the corridor, so Liu Qingqing sent him to Ning Muxuan first.

But when she knocked on the door, Ning Muxuan in the room did not respond.

Just as she was wondering, she suddenly heard some noisy noises coming from the room -

She was worried that Ning'er might have encountered something, so she pressed the door handle on her own initiative.

Coincidentally, Ning Muxuan had left the door unlocked yesterday because she wanted to wait for the boy to come back to find her. So Liu Qingqing was able to open the door easily.

When she came in, she saw Ning Muxuan rummaging around on the desk. On a cold morning, she was only wearing a thin nightgown and was even barefoot...

Liu Qingqing frowned slightly but kept smiling. She slowly walked to Ning Muxuan and placed the steaming porridge in her hand on the table. Then she smiled slightly, turned around and found a cotton jacket in the closet for the woman to put on.

Behind her, she gently tidied up Ning Muxuan's slightly messy hair, her eyebrows curved, and she said kindly:

"Ning'er, this is the porridge that Auntie just cooked. Try it. Drink it while it's hot. It can warm your body~"

Hearing this, Ning Muxuan lowered her eyes, but still nodded slightly.

"Um……"

Seeing that the woman did not refuse, Liu Qingqing was secretly delighted, and the smile on her face became more gentle. Then she changed the subject and returned to the previous question.

"By the way, Ning'er, when Auntie came in just now, I saw you rummaging around for something - Ning'er, is there something you're missing?"

"..."

Ning Muxuan's body trembled slightly, and she turned her eyes to look at Liu Qingqing who was smiling beside her. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it...

The white flower headdress was a gift made for her by her mother herself before she passed away. She has always kept it with her until her mother passed away.

Its meaning is extraordinary and irreplaceable to me. It also symbolizes the tenderness of my mother...

If she told Liu Qingqing about the existence and significance of the white flowers, she didn't know if doing so would hurt this warm and broken family again...

Ning Muxuan was slightly stunned, then turned around, avoiding the gaze with Liu Qingqing, and shook her head gently.

"It's okay, I found it."

"Is that so...? That's good~"

After hearing this, Liu Qingliu did not intend to continue asking. Since the other party was unwilling to tell her, Ning'er must have her own concerns.

As a "new stepmother", she would naturally love her child with the greatest tolerance. Besides, she was already very happy that Ning Muxuan did not resist her today.

Liu Qingqing smiled gently, then took a hairpin from her hair and tidied up Ning Muxuan's hair.

Then he smiled with satisfaction. Anyone would like a woman with a graceful figure and beautiful face like Ning Muxuan.

Liu Qingqing couldn't help but feel relieved and happy to have such an excellent "daughter"~

After finishing the work in hand, Liu Qingqing came to Ning Muxuan again, lowered her eyes, and looked at the photo frame in the woman's hand. With a slight smile, she explained to Ning Muxuan

"The uncle in the photo is Xiao Qin's father~"

"Isn't he handsome~"

Ning Muxuan nodded in response, looking at the photo frame in her hand, and she had obviously guessed all this in her heart.

Seeing that the woman seemed to be somewhat interested in this topic, Liu Qingqing continued to strike while the iron was hot.

"My uncle and I met at the police academy in college. Haha, don't look at me as a frail auntie now. I used to be a majestic superwoman."

"But later on, due to personal reasons, Auntie couldn't continue on this path..."

"Uncle, with my hard work, became a glorious policeman and the pillar of our family."

"At that time, Xiao Qin really idolized his father. He followed him around every day. It is said that sons take after their mothers. At that time, my aunt was so envious!"

"That kid is imitating his father every day. He keeps saying he wants to be a 'little policeman'. Haha, the way Xiao Qin shows off is so funny!"

"This is the child's dream, just like his father—"

"And there's more..."

When Liu Qingqing mentioned the person in her memory, she seemed to have endless things to say, her face full of excitement and joy, and she kept talking non-stop.

Ning Muxuan, who was standing by, listened quietly, stretched out her bare hands, and stroked the photo frame. Looking at the photo of the well-behaved and cute Qin Heng as a child, and listening to Liu Qingqing talking about the past between him and his father when he was a child -

Unconsciously, a faint smile appeared on the corner of the woman's cold and beautiful face.

Liu Qingqing, who was concentrating on telling the story, was stunned when she saw the woman's smile.

Even Liu Qingqing herself had never imagined that a woman like Ning'er, who was as beautiful as an iceberg, would actually have such a touching and sweet smile on her cold and pretty face that always kept people at a distance...

Although it was only a fleeting splendor, it also made Liu Qingqing's yearning for future life more full of hope and expectation.

But before she could come to her senses, Ning Muxuan in front of her slowly lowered her eyes and asked softly with a lonely look on her face:

"Then... why did Xiao Qin put these photos away?"

"When I first entered the room, I saw Xiao Qin tidying up something on the table..."

Liu Qingqing was also stunned when she heard this, then she slowly came to Ning Muxuan's side, gently took her hand, and stroked it in her palm.

As if she could see the worry in the woman's eyes, Liu Qingqing spoke softly and patiently explained to Ning Muxuan

"Ning'er, you don't have to worry so much. Xiao Qin didn't mean that."

"He put away all the photos of his father because he really didn't want you, Ning'er, to see them. But he did this not because Xiao Qin was unwilling to accept you, but on the contrary -"

"Xiao Qin really cares about you and is close to you. He did this just because he didn't want this 'sister' who just came home to have any unnecessary estrangement from this family..."

"Xiao Qin really loves his father, but he can also give in for your existence."

"!?——"

--------

Here's one update first to calm you down, and there will be another update before 12 o'clock tonight.

Today is the 3rd update again, folks.

Tomorrow is the beginning of the month, let's take a look at everyone's monthly tickets and rewards. 100 votes and rewards will add more chapters. If I'm slow, you can also go to my skirt to urge me on.

Xiao Xuanzi was supposed to have a full schedule today, 4 trips and 8 periods, but he had to take a make-up class in the evening, which really made me feel stupid!

It will be released at 9 o'clock, and there will definitely be another chapter before 12 o'clock?

218. Beloved Tolerance

"Xiao Qin loves his father very much"

"But even with all this, he can choose to step back for you."

Liu Qingqing's gentle voice was like a thunder, hitting Ning Muxuan's chest fiercely - in just a moment, she felt a heart-wrenching pain all over her body.

The woman's cold and beautiful face was no longer calm and indifferent as before...

She opened her beautiful eyes wide and looked at Liu Qingqing in disbelief. It seemed that she had even forgotten to breathe. Ning Muxuan bit her red lips tightly and trembled slightly.

"Xiao Qin...hid these photos because of me?"

Noticing that Ning'er looked a little unnatural, Liu Qingqing was a little confused, but she still nodded slightly and responded in the affirmative.

"Well, although Xiao Qin is a playful kid on weekdays, he is actually very delicate and knows how to be tolerant."

"Whether it's Xiaoxuan or Ning'er, Xiaoqin treats you as real family. And...it can be seen that Xiaoqin likes a beautiful sister like Ning'er very much~"

"So, Ning'er...can you give Auntie a chance, or give Xiao Qin a chance?"

After Liu Qingqing finished speaking, she gently took Ning Muxuan's hands again. She smiled and looked at her sincerely...

Ning Muxuan felt the other person's scorching gaze, as if a fire of karma was burning her cheeks, making her feel extremely ashamed.

Facing Liu Qingqing's almost pleading tone, Ning Muxuan looked away with panicked eyes. The hand that Liu Qingqing was holding in her palm was also slowly pulled out inadvertently...

Ning Muxuan turned her face away, and her dark hair covered half of her face, making it impossible to see her expression at all...

"Ning'er? What's wrong with you..."

Seeing Ning Muxuan, who had been getting along well with him not long ago, suddenly turned around, and her complexion was visibly getting worse. Liu Qingqing asked the other party with concern.

But unexpectedly, after a while, all he heard was Ning Muxuan's faint voice full of sadness.

"I'm sorry Aunt Liu... I don't have the qualifications..."

The woman placed her clenched hands on her arm at the side, her whole body trembling slightly uncontrollably.

Those beautiful eyes, as brilliant as emerald agate gems, were now filled with endless regret and pain. The extreme emptiness once again corroded everything in the eye sockets.

The tearing between the white teeth and thin lips has already caused a little blood stain, like a bright red rose, deep and dead...

——Her heart was also dripping with blood at this moment

...Xiao Qin...can, for his own sake, suppress his longing and reluctance for his beloved, and hide it deep in his heart without leaving any trace.
