After Long Jingxian put on her clothes, they headed to the Yonhan beach. Because Yonhan beach was located next to Xiao Tian’s apartment, they decided to walk.
As usual, they immediately became the center of attention. All the men were looking at Long Jingxian while the women were staring at Xiao Tian.
Because Long Jingxian and Xiao Tian were used to it, they behaved normally and kept walking.
At this moment, Mu Ai suddenly dashed towards the water and spoke, “Big brother, let’s play with water.”
Because Xiao Tian was wearing shorts, he rushed towards Mu Ai with a smile on his face, “Sure.”
As Mu Ai was splashing water on Xiao Tian, she looked at her mother and spoke, “Mother, come here and play with us.”
“I’m coming..” Long Jingxian joined them, playing with water.
After playing with water for about ten minutes, Long Jingxian stopped and sat on the sand.
“Hahaha.” Xiao Tian and Mu Ai laughed happily as they played with water.
At this moment, Long Jignxian was staring at Xiao Tian and her daughter.
‘If only it’s my husband who is playing with her.’
A trace of sadness suddenly appeared on Long Jingxian’s pretty face.
In the past, her family was a happy family, but everything changed six months ago. Now her loving and caring husband had changed into a cruel person.
All they did every day was fight and fight. There was not a single beautiful moment since six months ago.
He even still used violence in front of their daughter. It was as if both she and her daughter were no longer important to him.
‘Thank you, Xiao Tian.’
Long Jingxian did not expect that the person who was always by her side when she was feeling down was someone she had recently met.
He even helped her a few times. She did not know what would happen to her if Xiao Tian was not by her side.
When Xiao Tian saw Long Jingxian’s expression, he returned his attention to Mu Ai and spoke, “Little Ai, how about we make a sandcastle?”
“Sure.” Mu Ai agreed instantly.
Then Xiao Tian and Mu Ai walked towards Long Jingxian and began to make a sandcastle.
Xiao Tian, who was sitting on Long Jingxian’s right side, inquired, “Lady Long, why do you have such a long face?”
“I suddenly remembered my husband.” Long Jingxian replied, “If only my husband were like you, I would be happy now.”
“Speaking of your husband, can you tell me what happened to you earlier?” Xiao Tian inquired,
Long Jingxian did not answer immediately and only stared at Xiao Tian.
‘Should I tell him the truth?’
After thinking for several seconds, Long Jingxian decided to tell everything to Xiao Tian because he had helped her a few times.
“My husband…” Long Jingxian began to tell everything.
She told Xiao Tian that her husband was always angry and used violence now.
All they did every day was fight and fight. He even did not care whether Mu Ai was near them or not. If he did not like something, he would use violence.
But what she hated the most was that her husband was always drunk and gambled every day. He even stole her saving to gamble.
Because of this, the money she saved over the years for Mu Ai’s education was no longer left.
But because her husband was addicted to gambling and could not stop anymore, he decided to borrow money from Bai Yuzen at a high-interest rate.
She also told Xiao Tian that the three people who tried to kidnap her earlier were none other than Bai Yuzen’s underlings.
Bai Yuzen tried to kidnap her because her husband could not pay his debt and decided to sell her to pay off his debt.
“So, your husband forced you to sleep with Bai Yuzen to pay off his debt?!” anger rose in him like a tide when he learned everything.
“Yes.” Long Jingxian replied, “Bai Yuzen said he would forget my husband’s debt if he could spend one night with me.”
“He doesn’t deserve to be your husband!” at this moment, Xiao Tian realized that he was speaking ill of her husband in front of her. “Ah, sorry for saying that.”
Xiao Tian apologized because Mu Cheng was still her husband. He was afraid that Long Jingxian would get angry at him later.
“Hehe. It’s fine.” Long Jingxian giggled cutely when Xiao Tian suddenly apologized like that. “What you said is right. He doesn’t deserve to be my husband.”
She then continued, “Actually, I want to divorce him since a few months ago, but I can’t do that because of little Ai. She is still young and needs a father. I’m afraid it will affect her growth if she doesn’t have a father later.”
If it were not for Mu Ai, Long Jingxian would have divorced Mu Cheng a few months ago because he was no longer worthy of being her husband.
At this moment, Xiao Tian wanted to say, ‘how about I become her father?’. However, he knew it was not the right moment to joke like that.
“Yeah. It will affect her growth.” At this moment, Xiao Tian suddenly remembered Feng Yu.
He was always sad when he saw Feng Yu. Because of the broken home, she could not act like a child her age. She was even forced to mature quickly.
“I hope little Ai will always stay like this.” Xiao Tian really did not want Mu Ai to be the second Feng Yu.
“It seems like you really like my daughter.” From how Xiao Tian treated her daughter, Long Jingxian knew that Xiao Tian really liked Mu Ai.
“Yeah.” Xiao Tian replied as he looked at Mu Ai. “She is so adorable. I always feel happy and calm when I’m with her as if the burden on my shoulders has been lifted. I hope my future daughter will be like her later.”
“You are right.” Long Jingxian agreed with Xiao Tian.
Mu Ai was the reason why she could stay strong until now. Every time she was with her daughter, her mind suddenly felt calm.
At this moment, Mu Ai suddenly spoke, “Big brother, don’t just always talk to my mother. Hurry up and help me build sandcastle.”
“As you wish, little princess.” After saying that, Xiao Tian helped Mu Ai build a sandcastle.
