President, please comfort me.

Seeing that she was truly angry this time, Xiao Yan pulled her down to sit, holding her hand with one hand and patting her shoulder with the other to soothe her: "Don't be anxious, let's see what the brat has to say."

Xiao He sat upright, his back straight, his lips slightly pursed, not serious at all, but rather as if he was waiting to be criticized.

Tang Hui frowned as she looked at him, her face full of disappointment and regret, but she still tried her best to control herself: "Ahe, first tell me why we are sleeping in separate rooms and why you are sleeping in the master bedroom, and then tell me why these things meant for Xiaoqi are with you?"

After thinking it over again and again, Xiao He simply confessed: "I have no feelings for her, so naturally we have to sleep in separate rooms. As for these things, I asked her to return them."

"You... Mom is so disappointed in you." Tang Hui didn't expect this to be the case, and shook her head angrily.

"I thought you really wanted to marry Xiaoqi, and you've become much more considerate lately. I never expected it to be like this."

"If you didn't like them, why did you agree in the first place? If I had known, I could have let Xiaoqi meet Achao and Xiaolin, and things wouldn't have turned out like this."

"What should I do now?"

Just as Xiao He was about to speak, his father glanced at him and then said to Tang Hui, "Why don't we let Xiao Qi be our goddaughter? That way we can continue to take care of her and won't force this brat. You can't force a melon to ripen."

Xiao He panicked upon hearing this and immediately retorted, "I don't deny what I did, but now that we're married, why would I still be your goddaughter?"

Tang Hui thought the idea was good. After pondering for a moment, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I just don't know what Xiaoqi is thinking now. Sigh."

"I disagree. Don't worry about it. I know what to do." Xiao He looked at the two of them and thought they were serious.

Tang Hui was furious. She stood up abruptly and said, "Fine, fine, it's settled then. I'll ask Xiao Qi tomorrow and see what she thinks. You brat, just wait to die alone, hmph." Then she pulled Xiao's father back to their room.

After Xiao Yan and Tang Hui left, Xiao He could no longer remain calm. He picked up the [Pure White Dream] and the jewelry on the sofa and left the room.

He stood at the door of Wen Qi's room and knocked.

"Why are you here? Is something wrong?" Wen Qi had just finished showering and was lying in bed, worried. When she saw him, she peeked out and asked quietly.

Xiao He lowered his voice: "Let me in first."

"Oh, okay, come in."

The two sat facing each other. Xiao He didn't say anything, and after putting his things aside, he just stared at her. Wen Qi looked at the bags in his hands and asked in confusion, "What's this?"

Xiao was organizing his thoughts, unsure how to begin, when suddenly asked this question, he blurted out, "I'm sorry."

"Ok?"

Xiao He spoke awkwardly, "That day when you went to pick up your friend, I shouldn't have hit him without asking any questions, nor should I have said those things to you out of jealousy. I apologize to you again."

After he finished speaking, Xiao He's ears immediately turned pink. When Wen Qi heard him say "jealous," she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She was stunned and afraid that she had misheard.

"Jealous...?" Wen Qi clasped her hands together, kneading them, and looked at him shyly.

Having started the conversation, continuing didn't seem so difficult anymore. Xiao He looked at her in her pink nightgown, looking rather silly, and found it quite amusing. He wanted to tease her, but still said seriously, "Yeah, I'm jealous."

Xiao looked at her tenderly, his tone softening: "Wen Qi, I like you. I've liked you since the moment I saw your photo."

"I admit that I was initially attracted to you because of your looks, but now I can tell you with certainty that my love at first sight for you was not accidental, but inevitable."

Xiao He spoke each word clearly, his eyes resolute.

Wen Qi was completely stunned, her mind blank, and her cheeks felt slightly hot. She had no idea that he had such feelings for her, after all, he could be quite hurtful with his words at times.

"Thank you for liking me, but actually I don't know you very well." After a few seconds of silence, Wen Qi regained her composure and looked at him somewhat awkwardly.

Xiao He was afraid of pushing her too far, but thankfully the two had already registered their marriage.

After letting out a sigh of relief, he looked at her and his tone returned to normal: "Yes, we haven't known each other for very long. I'll let you get to know me gradually, and I'll also pursue you wholeheartedly. I don't expect you to be with me right away."

Seeing that he had reverted to his domineering and irritating expression, Wen Qi couldn't help but complain, "What? I won't agree even if you ask me. Do you think you can force me?"

Xiao He looked at her with a smile: "I wouldn't dare."

Wen Qi pouted, "That's more like it."

"Wait, that's not right. I didn't agree to you pursuing me?" Wen Qi asked, realizing what was happening.

Xiao He's smile deepened, and he happily flattered her: "So domineering, do I need your permission to pursue you?"

Wen Qi raised an eyebrow, a smug look on her face: "Of course!"

Seeing her smug look, Xiao He resisted the urge to kiss her: "Okay, then what do you need to do to get your consent?"

"Hmph, let's see how you perform."

"Okay, I'll do my best." Xiao He picked up the jewelry next to him, placed it on the table in front of Wen Qi, then stood up, walked around the table, and sat down next to her.

Wen Qi peered forward with a curious expression: "What are these?"

Xiao He touched his nose, finding it difficult to speak: "These are gifts that Mom and Aunt gave you before. They're being returned to their rightful owners."

Before Wen Qi could even touch him, she quickly withdrew her hand after hearing his words, her attitude becoming much more respectful: "These weren't originally mine, so it's better if you keep them."

Xiao He reached out his large hand and grasped her small hand, gently coaxing, "Are you still angry?"

Wen Qi tried to pull her hand away, but the difference in strength between men and women was too great, not to mention that the other party was Xiao He. She could only pout and glare at him: "What are you doing? Let go of me."

Xiao He simply started to act shamelessly: "If you forgive me, I'll let go. I've already explained everything to you, please forgive me, okay?"

The saying goes that even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman, and the same applies to women. Wen Qi was already attracted to Xiao He's looks, and now that they were holding hands up close, she couldn't resist the temptation and quickly succumbed to his charms.

Wen Qi is a person who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Although she holds grudges, Xiao He's behavior during this period is beyond reproach, and the anger in her heart has long been soothed.

To avoid making her actions too obvious, Wen Qi lowered her head and pretended to stammer, "Okay, then I'll forgive you this time."

However, Wenqi felt it was necessary to formally address the matters of principle.

She looked up at Xiao He with a serious expression: "But I hope this is the last time. You always say hurtful things from time to time. I can forgive you once or twice, but I won't forgive you forever."

"Okay, I won't, I'm sorry." Xiao He responded quickly. Seeing her now both obedient and fierce, his heart felt both sour and swollen, as if something had filled him up, and he really wanted to cherish her.
