This mother and daughter have caused so much estrangement between him and Xiao Mo that he didn't even have time to properly accompany his own child.
He would not let them off!
...
The car drove for a long time, and Qiao Mo felt a bit sleepy.
In a daze, she felt warmth on her body, followed by a lightness under her feet.
She opened her blurry eyes and realized they had arrived home. His coat was draped over her, and he was walking towards the house.
"I can walk on my own," she said softly.
He didn't let go, holding her tightly: "You've gained some weight."
Qiao Mo's cheeks flushed slightly, hesitantly looking at him, she cautiously asked: "Have I gained a lot?"
"Yes."
Biting her lip, Qiao Mo said again: "Then quickly put me down."
He smiled and whispered in her ear: "So light, it's making me think we should replace the cook."
Qiao Mo shyly avoided his gaze, saying no more.
