Chapter 1337: I

Mo Chuxi squatted down in front of Yan Xinxin, extending a square box tied with a ribbon to her, roughly the size of a four-inch cake.

He knelt on one knee in front of Yan Xinxin, his gaze filled with warmth and affection like a spring breeze.

"Open it and take a look."

Looking at the man in front of her with such sincerity, Yan Xinxin pursed her pale lips and gave a faint smile.

"Xi, you don’t have to coax me anymore, I’m not..."

"Just take a look first."

Mo Chuxi interrupted, placing the box in Yan Xinxin’s hands.

Seeing him smile so persistently, Yan Xinxin had no choice but to raise her hand, reaching to the ribbon tied in a bow.

With a gentle pull of her fingers, the ribbon fell apart, and the sides of the box fell open.

A few four-inch sea salt cakes appeared before Yan Xinxin’s eyes.

She had seen many cakes before, but what surprised her were the words written on the cake.

Wife, I’m sorry.

Though the handwriting was a bit sloppy, Yan Xinxin immediately recognized it as Mo Chuxi’s style.

"You always make desserts for me and the kids whenever you have time, so today I tried it myself. It turns out making a cake isn’t all that easy, and doing it well is even harder."

Mo Chuxi spoke as he freed one hand to hold Yan Xinxin’s small hand.

"Wife, I’m sorry. No matter the reason, if I made you sad, it’s my fault as a husband. Please forgive my neglect. I promise it won’t happen again."

His gaze was filled with deep emotion and he promised solemnly.

"I heard everything you said earlier, Qianyuan. I’m really thankful that you always trust me. I can swear on my life that nothing happened between Wen Xin and me. In this lifetime, forever, the only woman I’ll be with is named Mu Qianyuan, I swear."

Mo Chuxi’s gaze was unwavering as he looked into Yan Xinxin’s calm eyes and made his vow.

Seeing her face without any waves of emotion, Mo Chuxi felt nervous inside.

"Qianyuan..."

"I already said earlier, you don’t need to coax me, nor do you need to apologize any further."

Yan Xinxin spoke gently, her calm response causing Mo Chuxi’s heart to beat heavily.

"You didn’t wrong me, so there’s no need to apologize. Last night, my emotions got too out of control, too harsh, and I’m the one who should apologize to you."

Hearing her response, Mo Chuxi felt uncertain inside.

For a moment, he was also a bit confused, wondering if Yan Xinxin was truly not angry or if she was merely speaking contrary words.

As Mo Chuxi pondered, he suddenly felt warmth on his cheek.

He looked up to see Yan Xinxin gently smiling as she reached out to caress his cheek.

"Was the slap I gave you last night very painful?"

Yan Xinxin asked softly, her gentle words causing Mo Chuxi’s heavy heart to rise to the surface.

Seeing her eyes with a faint hint of tears, Mo Chuxi believed at that moment that she truly wasn’t angry anymore.

"Qianyuan."

"Mm."

"Are you really not mad at me anymore?"

"Not mad, only heartache."

Yan Xinxin smiled faintly.

Upon hearing her words, Mo Chuxi’s brows relaxed instantly.

"Then, would you be willing to try the apology cake Brother Xi made for you by hand?"

Seeing his expectant gaze, Yan Xinxin reached out with two fingers and scooped a bit of cream onto Mo Chuxi’s lips.

Mo Chuxi was momentarily taken aback, not understanding Yan Xinxin’s intentions.

Still a bit confused, Yan Xinxin reached out to cup his face, stood up, leaned over, and pressed her soft lips onto his, giving him a deep kiss.

Mo Chuxi’s heartbeat quickened. As he tasted the sweet flavor of the cream, his wounded heart was instantly healed.

"Xi, I’m sorry."
