I Just Happened To Fall For You

In the end, the butler still led her to her mother's home.

Xu Qiaoqiao stared at the self-contained courtyard in front of her, feeling a pang of hometown fear.

She pushed open the door and walked in, immediately seeing the beautiful woman sitting on the bed.

Under the soft light, her face bore a tranquil smile, her head gently lowered. Her delicate and pretty features all emitted an aura of serene aging.

At this moment, she was humming a song, her soft voice naturally comforting.

It was her.

Even after eight years, Xu Qiaoqiao recognized her at a glance. It was her mother.

Unconsciously, she moved forward and called out, "Mom."

The woman was startled and slowly turned her head.

She looked at Xu Qiaoqiao a few times, then made a gesture for silence: "Shh, don't make noise, my little Qiaoqiao is sleeping."

Xu Qiaoqiao was taken aback and then noticed that the woman's hand was continuously patting the pillow on the bed, her voice softly urging, "Qiaoqiao, it's late, time to sleep ..."

Such devotion and gentle sincerity brought tears to Xu Qiaoqiao's eyes.

Only at this moment did she finally understand what the butler and the old madam meant by 'severely sick'.

— —

Xu Qiaoqiao squatted in the yard, staring at the night.

Her heart was heavy, as if a large stone had pressed down on it.

All those details she had long forgotten gradually emerged in her mind.

Her mother taking out the mildewed green bean cake from her bosom and telling her she had saved it for her ...

Her mother producing a pair of crystal shoes, fit only for a doll, and presentring them as her birthday gift ...

How ridiculous it was that in her younger years, she had failed to notice her mother's abnormalities.

Even during these eight years of her mother's absence, she had doubted whether her mother didn't want her.

But now, she finally understood.

Even though this woman wasn't of sound mind, she had always tried her best to love her.

Tears welled up in her eyes. She took a deep breath, lowered her head, closed her eyes, and tried to suppress the sour emotions in her heart.

Only then did she stand up and look towards the room.

The woman seemed tired, but she stubbornly continued to pat the pillow, humming the same lullaby, softening the whole night.

Unconsciously, she lifted the corners of her mouth into a smile.

Suddenly, she felt a cold chill coming over her.

Before she could turn her head, her arm was firmly grasped, and she was pulled out, staggering.

She was startled and turned around, only to discover that the person pulling her was none other than Xu Mushen!

Previously in the car, and even though she had met him later, she had always kept a distance from him. So, it wasn't until now that Xu Qiaoqiao realized just how tall Xu Mushen was.

He was at least a head taller than her, his figure steady like a mountain, exuding a domineering and powerful aura.

The light was a little dim, so she couldn't see his expression clearly.

But she could still feel the hostility and danger emanating from him.

Xu Qiaoqiao was taken aback. She struggled hard, but found that she was powerless before him!

She lowered her voice and shouted, "Bi-Big Brother, what are you doing?"

Was he trying to settle the score with her about what happened during the day?

It was a dark night with high winds, a good time for a murder!

Xu Mushen ignored her, continuing to drag her out of the courtyard.

Scared, she felt her body sinking, "Big Brother, let's talk things over, a gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists!"

Xu Mushen halted, turned around, his tone solemn, "Are you sure you want to talk here?"
