When I opened my eyes, I went back to the night when I forced my husband to give birth to a son.

Su Xiaowan poured a glass of water for Xiao Beiguo. "Everything is fine at home. But you, did you not get enough rest outside these days? You look very tired."

"Fortunately, the first day of negotiating the deal went smoothly, but the next few days were a bit difficult. We ran into a wall with Nancheng for two consecutive days."

Xiao Beiguo took a big gulp of chrysanthemum tea and sighed with contentment.

It feels good to be home.

"Many people came to discuss cooperation. Although our designs are very good, we are a new factory and we don't have much of an advantage in terms of price, so customers are very hesitant."

Su Xiaowan didn't think anything of it. She sat on the chair and handed him an orange.

"This is normal. It would be abnormal if everything went so smoothly. We have received the order now, and the factory can start production now."

"When the time comes, we will open a clothing store in the local area, specializing in selling clothing from our factory."

"Are you going to produce and sell it yourself?" Xiao Beiguo was a little surprised.

"Of course, I had this plan from the beginning. Now the factory has started production. I will talk to Brother Nancheng about it. I want to buy a store in the Foreign Trade Building to sell it."

Su Xiaowan was very confident. After all, the clothes she asked Ji Yuelan to alter were all styles from the 1990s, which could be said to be ahead of current trends.

It’s just that their clothes are not available on the market, so it’s normal for customers to hesitate.

"Isn't this too risky?"

Although Xiao Beiguo signed a contract this time, he also saw a lot of things.

Although one has to be bold and daring to do business, their current business is already quite big, and if they act rashly, the risk would be huge.

“Everything has risks, but if you don’t do it, you will definitely not succeed.”

"North Country, do you believe me?"

Su Xiaowan knew it was difficult for him to trust her, but she believed that her decision would not be wrong.

"I believe in you, if you want to do it, then do it."

Although Xiao Beiguo was worried, since Su Xiaowan wanted to try, he was willing to accompany her to face it.

Even if they really lose money in the end, the worst that can happen is that they start over again.

"Thank you North Country."

"Silly, why are you telling me this?"

Xiao Beiguo handed her the peeled orange and asked, "Did anything happen at home during the days I was away?"

"Indeed, on the second day after you left for business, Xixi was taking a nap and dreamed that we didn't want her, so she got upset."

Xiao Beiguo frowned slightly, "Did Xixi encounter any problem?"

"I think it's because I treated her badly in the past, and you were often away from home making money. This time you suddenly went on a business trip, and I happened to go to the flower and bird market that afternoon."

"It's okay, Xiaowan. Xixi is just worried. I will guide her and care about her. Slowly, she will get better."

"I have done things wrong before, but if I had cared more about you, you wouldn't have done that."

Xiao Beiguo held her hand and said, "Xixi is like this because we ignored her in the past. As long as we care about her more and let her feel enough love, she will not be like this anymore."

"Yeah, I think so too. Xixi is very dependent on us now, which also proves that she lacks love in her heart."

"Yes, now that the factory has started operating, I may be on business trips more often in the future. If I'm away for a long time, we can take Xixi with me."

Xiao Beiguo didn't want Xixi to feel uneasy because of work.

"We'll see when the time comes. I can't leave everything in the factory to Brother Nancheng. Besides, if we all go, it won't be a good idea for Dad to be alone at home."

Although Su Xiaowan also agreed with Xiao Beiguo's idea, she did not think this method was feasible.

"But I will probably be traveling on business most of the time in the first half of this year."

Song Nancheng told him about this on the way back this time.

"Then you can go on your business trip with peace of mind. I will take good care of Xixi. She lacks love because we have had a bad influence on her in the past."

"As long as we treat her with our heart, care for her and cherish her, she will surely gradually believe that we really love her and will not abandon her."

"Okay, then I'll listen to you. Let's eat first and have a good rest tonight. Nancheng asked me to take a day off tomorrow, so I'll go out with you and Xixi tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go cook. Do you want to take a shower first?"

Xiao Beiguo nodded, "I'm going to take a shower. Xixi should be back later."

"Okay, I'll go cook first."

After Su Xiaowan finished speaking, she went to the kitchen to prepare food.

After breakfast the next day, Xixi looked at Xiao Beiguo eagerly, her eyes full of desire for his companionship.

"What's wrong, Xixi?"

Xiao Beiguo held her on his lap and held her hand, "Do you have something to say to Dad?"

"Yeah, Xixi misses daddy."

The little girl leaned in Xiao Beiguo's arms, pinched his fingers and played with them, muttering softly.

"Dad, Xixi thought you were going out and not coming back like before, and Xixi was scared."

"Why do you think so, Xixi?"

Xiao Beiguo asked patiently.

"Because in the past, when Dad left home, Mom would get very angry and unhappy. She would beat Xixi and not give me food."

Xixi spoke in a very low voice, with fear and anxiety in her eyes.

"I'm afraid that mom will be the same as before. Xixi doesn't want the mom before, she wants the mom now."

"Then Xixi, do you think your mother is still treating you badly?"

Xiao Beiguo explained patiently and guided her step by step.

"No, mom loves Xixi very much. She buys delicious food for Xixi and teaches Xixi arithmetic."

"Does Xixi like her mother?"

"I like it." The little girl answered without hesitation.

"Xixi, we all make mistakes, but if we can correct them, then we can be forgiven."

"Mom made mistakes in the past and treated Xixi badly. Now I have corrected myself and treated Xixi with my heart. Can Xixi forgive me? Do you believe me?"

"Xixi didn't disbelieve Mom, nor did she not forgive Mom. She was just afraid that Mom would become the same as before."

Xiao Beiguo stroked her gently to comfort her, "No, Xixi, mother loves Xixi very much. She made a mistake before, but now she has corrected it. I will love Xixi well in the future."

"Well, Xixi knows, and will love mom well in the future."

"Great, let's go change clothes and take you out to play later, okay?"

"Okay, Xixi, can we go to the place we went last time?"

Xiao Beiguo kissed her and said, "Okay, we'll go wherever Xixi wants to go."

After Su Xiaowan changed her clothes and came out, Xixi also got dressed, and the family went out together.

It was the first time for Old Man Xiao to go out. Looking at the towering buildings in the big city, his eyes lit up.

"Dad, when I have time, I will take you out to see the outside world."

Old man Xiao responded repeatedly, choking with sobs.

He had never thought he would be able to live the life he has now.

The three of them went to the Foreign Trade Building. Xiao Beiguo held Xixi and walked side by side with Su Xiaowan.

But they hadn't walked far when they ran into Song's mother and Qin Shanshan.
