Mu Xue was stunned. "I didn't scare them. I didn't say I wanted to marry you either. They misunderstood…"
Shao Qihai frowned. "So why did you find the children and say these things? They are children and they will misunderstand."
"I didn't want to!" Mu Xue's eyes were red. "I only heard the villagers gossiping about you living off a woman and being a good-for-nothing. That Ji Buwang came knocking on your door, but you didn't dare say anything and you even washed clothes every day. Those words were really awful. I felt indignant and worried about you. That's why I said a word or two to the kids."
When Shao Qihai heard Mu Xue's words, his expression changed slightly. He took a deep breath and held it in. "I don't mind, so you don't have to mind either, Mu Xue. Don't say anything to the kids again. It wasn't easy for us to mend our relationship. I don't want it to be ruined."
