Chapter 1116: Chapter 1116: Xiaoqi’s Decision

They were just about to set off to leave when they heard Shui Jingmo’s voice: "You wait a moment!"

Shui Jingmo was always immersed in regret for not being able to stop Ning Xu from leaving in time and didn’t notice where She and Han Jing were coming from. Now seeing them, he hurriedly called out.

"Have you seen someone? Someone wearing red clothes, he, looks very beautiful..." Shui Jingmo’s voice was somewhat incoherent.

Xiaoqi sullenly poked his little head from behind Su Xingqiao and asked Shui Jingmo: "Are you talking about me?"

Shui Jingmo looked at Xiaoqi, stunned: "...Chenchen?"

Xiaoqi had seen Shui Jingmo a few times, but they were all very brief encounters without any interaction, so he hadn’t paid attention to Shui Jingmo’s feelings or whether he truly liked Feng Peining.

Now facing Shui Jingmo’s eyes, Xiaoqi finally saw what he had in mind.

It turns out that he married Feng Peining back then only because his mother threatened him with death, and reluctantly made that choice, but in his heart, all these years he has only ever loved Ning Xu.

And now... all Shui Jingmo can think about is how to find Ning Xu and explain everything to him.

"Auntie is waiting for you at home, what are you doing here?" Xiaoqi asked sullenly.

She felt sad for Ning Xu’s infatuation on one hand, and on the other, she felt sorry for Auntie’s misplaced trust, so the worst is this Shui Jingmo! Since you have someone in your heart, why not treat him well, why do you have to provoke her aunt? I hate people like this! It’s too much! Hurting two people at once!

Shui Jingmo was obviously stumped by Xiaoqi’s question, dazed, his expression somewhat wooden.

Yes, there’s Peining, too, she’s innocent after all.

For so many years, he tried his best to treat her well, but all along he could never break the obstacle in his heart, so... in truth, all these years of marriage, their happiness was just superficial, he and Peining have never consummated their marriage.

No matter what, he owes Peining, continuing to be with her like this is also harming her.

It’s not that he hasn’t thought about explaining things to Peining, but now he still holds the responsibility for all of Shuiqi Island, and Peining is the young lady of Phoenix Island. If he angers Peining, perhaps all the people of Shuiqi Island would have to bear the consequences of his mistakes. So he can’t do that...

At this moment, Shui Jingmo thought of countless things, his heart extremely tangled.

And Xiaoqi, who had been staring at Shui Jingmo all along, also saw all of Shui Jingmo’s thoughts.

She suddenly had an idea and said to Su Xingqiao: "Brother Qiao, let’s go back first!"

Then, without any further ado, she pulled Su Xingqiao away.

Han Jing helplessly shook her head and let Su Yu and Ning Shiqi handle things, and she followed them back.

After being busy for almost half a day, by the time Han Jing and the others returned, it was already afternoon. Xia Wu and the others saw them return and were somewhat worried. Han Jing waved her hand to indicate there was no problem, then pulled Xiaoqi and Su Xingqiao into the living room to wait, to prevent any accident with Su Xingqiao again.

"Brother Qiao, Sister Jing, I’ve decided, I want to persuade my aunt to leave Shui Jingmo!" Xiaoqi suddenly stood up and said solemnly to Su Xingqiao and Han Jing.
