Duan Zihui rarely apologized to her.
Last time it happened once, and then it was over.
The little girl was too young to understand anything.
Duan Zihui didn’t feel anything when he apologized to her, but he felt a little embarrassed and ashamed when he apologized to Xie Qingyu.
He cared about his pride.
“Mom, did Dad apologize?” Zhuzhu asked, having not heard her mother say ‘it was okay’ for a while.
Xie Qingyu shook her head: “No.”
Zhuzhu immediately snatched the phone and said loudly, “Dad, as a responsible person, I think you did something wrong and should learn to apologize. You should apologize to Mom right now, or I won’t talk to you next time.”
Fine…
Apologize, then.
Anyway, it’s just over the phone; it won’t hurt him.
He closed his eyes, as if resigning himself to his fate. His lips moved for a while before he finally uttered, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have made that joke.”
The phone was in Zhuzhu’s hands right now.
She turned on the speakerphone and said, “Dad, you spoke too softly just now. Mom didn’t hear you. Say it again.”
Hiss…
Duan Zihui gasped.
Duan Zihui thought that he had apologized and the matter was over, but he didn’t expect that she didn’t hear him and that he had to repeat himself.
Duan Zihui felt that his lifelong reputation had been ruined by this girl.
He wanted to discuss it with this girl, but he felt that it would be too embarrassing for him to do so.
He remained hesitant.
He began to reflect on himself, wondering how he had ended up in this situation.
After thinking about it, he realized that it was all because he had this little troublemaker in his family.
If it weren’t for this little troublemaker, he wouldn’t be in such a humiliating situation.
But what could he do?
Could he put her back in her mother’s womb?
He himself couldn’t bear to part with it.
His throat bobbed several times before he finally admitted defeat, his voice rising considerably as he laughed, “Um… Xie Qingyu, I’m sorry, I was just joking with you. We’re like family, aren’t we? I wouldn’t be so petty, would I? I was just teasing you. You know we’ve known each other for so many years, when have I ever been petty with you…”
Xie Qingyu ignored him: “We have nothing to do with each other.”
She turned and left the room.
Holding her phone, Zhuzhu said with a hint of schadenfreude, “Dad, Mom hasn’t said she forgives you.”
As she spoke, she chased after her mother, loudly saying, “Mom, you haven’t said you forgive Dad yet…”
Xie Qingyu, with her back to Zhuzhu, headed toward the dining room, saying, “Forgive him? Let him dream on.”
She noticed that Little Zhuzhu was still holding her phone.
Xie Qingyu thought for a moment, then suddenly bent down with a mischievous smile and coaxed, “If you want me to forgive your dad, you can tell me your little secret, and I’ll forgive him.”
Zhuzhu was unhappy and threw the phone back to her mother: “Mom, one thing is one thing. My little secret with Dad is between Dad and me.”
“Anyway, Dad has already apologized.”
After saying that, the little girl ran quickly back to her room.
She wouldn’t tell her mother about their little secret.
Duan Zihui, listening to their conversation, discussed with her: “Xie Qingyu… how about this? I’ll tell you our secret, and you remove me from your blacklist.”
Xie Qingyu smiled: “…No way. You can enjoy being on the blacklist. From now on, if you need anything, just call me and hang up. No need to send WeChat messages.”
Then she slammed the phone down.
Duan Zihui stared blankly at the disconnected phone for a moment and then scratched his hair in frustration.
The problem was that he was unhappy being on the blacklist.
Duan Zihui was so preoccupied with this matter that he was losing focus on his work.
He stared at the computer screen, his mind preoccupied with this very issue.
He was thinking that he had to find a way to get her to remove him from the blacklist.
