Chapter 157 Beautiful Girl
Rui Rui nodded, "I want it."
Hearing his answer, Lu Fengqing didn't feel happy; instead, she felt even sadder.
It's perfectly normal and simple for a child to want their mother.
But she didn't have one, and neither did her Rui Rui.
She herself didn't say it, her mother had passed away a long time ago, and she had grown up and didn't care anymore, but she was still there, Rui Rui's mother was still there.
It was her fault.
Lu Fengqing felt a dull pain in her heart and asked in a hoarse voice, "If I said that I am your mother... that I am your biological mother."
Rui Rui looked at Lu Fengqing in confusion, not understanding how her aunt had suddenly become her mother.
He knows what a biological mother means; she is the person who gave birth to him, the baby who came out of his mother's womb.
But what is the relationship between my aunt and my mother?
With red eyes, Lu Fengqing repeated, "Rui Rui, I am your mother, the mother who gave birth to you."
Rui Rui shook her head, "Auntie."
Lu Fengqing corrected him: "It's not aunt, it's mom."
Rui Rui stubbornly repeated, "Auntie!"
The two words that used to sound so sweet and gentle have become a sharp knife. In an instant, Lu Fengqing felt as if her heart was being torn apart, and tears fell down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry, Rui Rui, I'm so sorry. Mommy didn't abandon you, and I don't dislike you. Mommy just..."
Lu Fengqing rarely explained anything to anyone, let alone to such a young child that she didn't want him, but that she couldn't have him; that she didn't dislike him, but that she couldn't keep him by her side.
But no matter how helpless she felt, she couldn't change the fact that Rui Rui wasn't raised by her side, nor could she change the fact that Rui Rui had been without a mother for so many years.
Rui Rui looked at Lu Fengqing's tears and pouted, "Rui Rui, you haven't grown up yet."
We agreed that Mommy would come back when Rui Rui grows up, but Rui Rui hasn't grown up yet.
Lu Fengqing suppressed her sobs, "Rui Rui hasn't grown up yet, Mommy came back first, Mommy can't bear to leave Rui Rui. Rui Rui, Mommy..."
Looking at Lu Fengqing, who was sobbing uncontrollably, Rui Rui seemed to finally realize Lu Fengqing's seriousness. The corners of her mouth began to turn down little by little, and tears rolled down from her big eyes.
“Rui Rui…”
The child's silent tears were like fine needles, pricking Lu Fengqing's heart.
Lu Fengqing bit her lower lip and raised her hand to wipe away Rui Rui's tears. "It's Mommy's fault, Rui Rui, don't cry..."
Rui Rui pursed his lips tightly, tears instantly streaming down his face. With each breath he took through his nose, his face quickly turned bright red.
After waiting downstairs for ages without seeing Lu Fengqing, Gu Suixing finally went upstairs. Just as she reached Rui Rui's room, she heard a series of sobs.
Look inside—
He was only gone for a short while, and both mother and son cried their eyes out.
"Rui Rui, don't cry, okay?"
Lu Fengqing wanted to continue wiping Rui Rui's tears, but she was afraid that wiping too much would hurt his tender little face, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
Rui Rui's shoulders heaved as she cried. You could hear her wiping her nose and see her tears, but you couldn't hear her crying.
Lu Fengqing felt a pang of discomfort upon seeing this.
Gu Suixing could easily tell what had happened. He sighed inwardly, walked in, picked up Rui Rui from Lu Fengqing's arms, and slapped Rui Rui's little bottom hard. "Didn't you eat? Cry louder."
Lu Fengqing stood up and glared at Gu Suixing through teary eyes.
Gu Suixing ignored her and said to Rui Rui in his arms, "Cry or not, if you don't cry I'm leaving."
The next second, Rui Rui, who was quietly lying on Gu Suixing's body, twitched twice, and then a loud cry rang out, instantly echoing throughout the entire room.
Even Grandpa Lu and Uncle Chen downstairs heard it.
This was the first time Uncle Chen had ever heard Rui Rui cry so loudly, and he looked upstairs with some concern.
Grandpa Lu waved his hand, indicating that Uncle Chen didn't need to worry about it.
Gu Suixing didn't expect Rui Rui to howl so loudly all of a sudden. His ears hurt slightly. He wanted to let go of the little thing, but the little thing seemed to have realized his intention. It used its hands and feet to hug him tightly, clinging to him like a tiny octopus.
"Rui Rui!" Lu Fengqing was also startled and instinctively tried to take Rui Rui from her.
Gu Suixing stepped aside, sat down on the edge of the bed, and pulled Lu Fengqing down with him.
He didn't stop Rui Rui from crying. He gently patted Rui Rui's back to help him catch his breath, and put his arm around Lu Fengqing's shoulder, pulling her into his embrace.
One is crying in his left ear and the other in his right; the power of a suona horn blowing in one's ear is no greater than that.
His ancestors, both great and small, were all his ancestors, born to come and collect debts from him.
Gradually, perhaps because she was tired from crying, Rui Rui's crying subsided and she started hiccuping.
Gu Suixing breathed a sigh of relief and asked the older one first, "Have you cried enough?"
Lu Fengqing wiped her tears and snot all over Gu Suixing's clothes, and hugged Gu Suixing and Rui Rui tightly with both hands.
Gu Suixing chuckled and squeezed her waist tightly. "Go take a shower."
Lu Fengqing didn't move.
Gu Suixing called out, "Lu Nian."
Lu Fengqing stirred.
That scoundrel rarely called her that; every time he did, it meant he was about to get angry.
Lu Fengqing raised her head, looked at the back of the head pointing at her, said nothing, wiped her tears with the back of her hand, got up and left.
As the footsteps faded into the distance, the hands that had been wrapped around his neck loosened.
Gu Suixing pulled Rui Rui away slightly, took off his shirt, wiped away Rui Rui's tears and snot, and casually tossed it onto the chair next to him.
The little guy had a sullen face, looking unhappy.
Gu Suixing pinched his little red nose, "Call me Daddy."
Rui Rui didn't speak.
Gu Suixing: "If you don't call me, come and pay your debts."
Rui Rui remained silent.
Gu Suixing: "What, want to be a little rascal?"
"..."
Rui Rui is not a little rascal!
Rui Rui swung her little feet, stretched out her hands, leaned over, and hugged Gu Suixing's neck again, beginning to repay her debt.
Each time her little mouth gave a kiss, it left a puddle of water.
I don't know if it's saliva or snot.
Gu Suixing felt a vein throb on his forehead. He hesitated for a moment between abandoning the person and continuing to hold on, but ultimately he held back.
But they didn't intend to let the little thing go so easily.
Gu Suixing: "You made Daddy's Sailor Moon cry, how are you going to make up for it?"
Rui Rui paused, remained silent for a while, and then mustered up her courage to say, "I won't pay."
Gu Suixing raised an eyebrow. "So self-righteous."
Rui Rui glanced at Gu Suixing and, seeing that he wasn't angry or unhappy, felt relieved and continued kissing him.
Gu Suixing didn't miss the little guy's little tricks. He didn't have much fatherly love in his heart, but he still felt sorry for him. He said seriously, "You can say whatever you want in front of me. You don't need to worry about my expression. I am your father. You can make me unhappy or angry. These are all your rights."
Rui Rui's babbling slowed down, and she stared at Gu Suixing with wide eyes.
Gu Suixing patted his little bottom. "Of course, it's my right to hit you too."
Rui Rui: "..."
Gu Suixing hugged him and turned to his side, relaxing his upper body against the headboard. "Tell me, why were you crying?"
Rui Rui lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "Don't want me."
Gu Suixing asked, "Who doesn't want you?"
This time, Rui Rui remained silent for even longer.
Just when Gu Suixing thought he wasn't going to say anything, he stammered out three words: "Beautiful girl."
"..." Okay, I won't call her Mom anymore, and I won't even call her Auntie anymore.
