Chapter 764

Shu Xia was blushing uncontrollably.

She couldn't face anyone!

She rolled her eyes at Qiao Muting, "How can you just kiss me like that? Don't you see where we are?"

Qiao Muting narrowed his cold eyes, a hint of desire leaking through his slightly deepened voice, "You are my wife; I can kiss you anywhere, it's legal."

This one sentence left Shu Xia speechless.

There was no flaw in that logic.

It was just, wasn't he afraid she would misunderstand?

Misunderstand that he always kissed her on impulse because he couldn't help but like her?

Jiang Nannan had just stepped out of the hospital when her mother, Ms. Jiang, called.

"Nannan, come home for a bit."

"Is something the matter, Mom?"

Ms. Jiang sighed, "So much has happened between you and Huo Jingyan, and your father has been wanting to see you. If he doesn't see you, he won't be at ease."

Jiang Nannan knew she couldn't avoid it, "Alright, I don't have much to do today anyway, I'll head back now."

What is meant to come will come; it cannot be avoided.

Not long after, Jiang Nannan returned to the Jiang residence.

Ever since problems arose between her and Huo Jingyan, she hadn't been back once.

Usually, she only discussed these matters with her mother.

It was Jiang Fu who opened the door, "You're back?"

"Yes!" Jiang Nannan changed into her slippers.

Ever since she was little, her father had always doted on her; sometimes when she made a mistake, he couldn't bear to criticize her.

In the end, it was always her mother who criticized both of them together.

With so many things happening recently, her father hadn't called her, and she knew it wasn't because he didn't care, but because he didn't know how to advise her.

When her heart ached, her father's heart ached just the same.

Whenever the father and daughter met, they usually had a bellyful of things to say; a situation like this where they had nothing to say was almost non-existent, extremely rare.

After sitting down, Ms. Jiang, who was busy cooking in the kitchen, poked her head out and said to the two of them, "You two watch TV for a bit, I have two more dishes to finish."

"Alright," the father and daughter replied in unison.

"How is work lately? Is it tiring?" Jiang Fu asked.

Jiang Nannan answered truthfully, "I really like my current job, it's not tiring, and I have plenty of opportunities to rest. Dad, are you still going fishing these days?"

"That's the only hobby I've had lately, just meeting up with a few old friends to fish and chat when I'm free. I heard from your mother that you really like your current job, but you often have to travel with celebrities; you need to take good care of yourself. I haven't seen you in a while, and you've lost a whole circle of weight." As Jiang Fu spoke, his eyes turned red without him even realizing it, filled with heartache.

His daughter, whom he had doted on since she was small, had suffered grievances recently, and as a father, seeing her lose weight and become unhappy, how could he feel good inside?

He hadn't been in the mood to go fishing for some time now.

He had been flipping through various psychology books, trying to learn how to comfort Nannan.

But the more he read those books, the more he felt they weren't very useful.

Jiang Nannan smiled, "Dad, everyone pursues a slim figure nowadays. I was almost becoming a little round ball these past few years, so losing weight now is actually the result of eating properly. Every day I eat a balanced diet of meat and vegetables, and I rarely eat junk food—it's absolutely healthy! Don't worry, Dad."
