Chapter 401 Want to Find
Xuanyuan Ge sat at the small desk in Xunxun's room, his fingertips gently brushing across the doodle book on the table that was filled with drawings of little rabbits.
The sunlight filtered through the pink curtains, casting tiny spots of light on the floor. The air seemed to still carry the faint scent of strawberries from the child.
He remembered the last time he came here, Xunxun timidly handed him a painting with a crooked little man on it.
Said this was painted for him.
At that time, he was busy dealing with Xuanyuan Ce's affairs and only praised the painting with a few words.
A bit perfunctory.
Now I actually feel a little regretful.
Actually, it wasn't particularly busy at that time.
It would be better if I could talk to the little guy a few more times.
"This child..."
Xuanyuan Ge picked up the sketchbook and ran his fingertips over Xunxun's childish signature. The desire to adopt her as his godson became stronger and stronger.
He thought he was pretty good to Xunxun, and every time he came he would bring the latest dolls and imported strawberries.
Although Xunxun is shy, she will secretly give him the sweetest one.
He thought it was fate, but he didn't know that this bond had already been engraved in his blood.
The idea became stronger and stronger.
Plus, the matter of Xuanyuan Ce has come to an end.
He began to think about the feasibility of this matter.
…
In the afternoon, he deliberately avoided Qi Moxun and asked Shen Hanxing to meet him alone in the cafe in the villa.
When Shen Hanxing pushed the door open and came in, she was still holding the strawberries she had washed for the children. When she saw the dolls on his desk, her steps paused noticeably.
"Mr. Shen, sit down."
Xuanyuan Ge pushed a cup of warm water over and pushed the doll in front of her. "This is for Xunxun. He said he liked this type last time."
Shen Hanxing's fingers felt a little cold when he took the doll, and he forced a smile.
"Thank you. Xunxun will be happy if she knows this." She
I put the strawberries on the table and deliberately avoided his sight, but I felt uneasy in my heart.
Xuanyuan Pavilion suddenly contacted her alone, and it was definitely not just to give her a doll.
Sure enough, Xuanyuan Ge pondered for a moment and then went straight to the point.
"Boss Shen, it's better to be frank than to speak in secret. I think if I beat around the bush, it will make you think I'm not sincere."
Shen Hanxing clenched his hands suddenly.
What on earth does this person want to express?
She took a deep breath.
Just wanted to ask.
Xuanyuan Pavilion has spoken.
I really like Xunxun, she's well-behaved and sensible. I was wondering... could I adopt her as my godson?
His tone was firm.
"I will love her like my own son and give her the best life and education."
"You know very well that I will probably never get married again in my life, and I may not have my own children. So Xunxun's future will be limitless!"
Shen Hanxing's grip on the water cup suddenly tightened, and the coolness of the cup wall rushed into his heart along his fingertips.
She raised her head almost instantly, the alertness in her eyes unconcealed: "Boss Xuanyuan, this... isn't appropriate?"
"Why is it inappropriate?" Xuanyuan Ge frowned, not expecting her to react so strongly.
"I'm sincere to Xunxun and won't let him suffer any injustice. I'll talk to Qi Moxun about it, he won't mind."
"It's not Qi Moxun's problem."
Shen Hanxing took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, his fingertips unconsciously scratching the rim of the cup.
"Xunxun is still young and has just settled down with us. He won't be able to adapt to suddenly having a 'godfather'. Besides...children need a stable environment. Too many people interfering is not good."
Her tone was too hurried and her eyes flickered, as if she was hiding something.
Xuanyuan Ge stared at her for a few seconds, a hint of doubt in his heart: "You seem... very resistant to this?"
"No!" Chen Hanxing immediately denied it, but her voice was a little weak. "I just think that we should ask the child's wishes about this kind of thing. If Xunxun doesn't want to..."
"I can slowly develop a relationship with her."
Xuanyuan Ge interrupted her, his tone full of unquestionable strength, "I'm determined to have this child."
Shen Hanxing’s heart sank to the bottom.
She knew Xuanyuan Pavilion's temperament, and once a decision was made, it was difficult to change it.
But she had promised Han Lingcui that she would never let Xuanyuan Pavilion know the truth.
The internal strife in the Xuanyuan family is brutal. If Xunxun is taken back, she will be involved in endless family feuds. That is not the life they want for their children.
"Boss Xuanyuan, can this matter...be delayed a little longer?"
Chen Hanxing bit her lip, almost pleading, "When the children are older and more sensible, we will ask Xunxun what she means, okay?"
Xuanyuan Ge looked at her red eyes and somehow felt relieved.
Perhaps the anxiety in her eyes was too real, or perhaps he was subconsciously afraid of scaring the child, so in the end he just nodded.
"Okay, but I won't give up."
When she left the cafe, Shen Hanxing's back was already soaked with cold sweat. She immediately sent a message to Han Lingcui.
[Xuanyuan Pavilion wanted to adopt Xunxun as his goddaughter. I suppressed her, but she didn't give up.]
The phone vibrated quickly, and Han Lingcui replied with only two words: [Hold steady.]
Shen Hanxing held the phone in his hand, his heart heavy.
She knew that this was only temporary. Once Xuanyuan Pavilion's suspicion took root, the truth would be revealed sooner or later.
On the other side, after leaving the hot spring villa, Xuanyuan Pavilion drove directly to the Qi Group.
Because of his good work, Han Lingcui was promoted and set up a special studio downstairs in the Qi Group.
Recently, Xuanyuan Ge often comes to see her.
It’s just that Han Lingcui doesn’t want to pay attention to it.
When I pushed open the familiar glass door, Han Lingcui was typing code on the computer screen. Her profile was as cold as if covered with ice, and she was completely different from the girl with smiling eyes in my memory.
"Lingling." Xuanyuan Ge's voice softened a bit, and he placed the thermos bucket he brought on the table. "I asked my aunt to make some soup. You have a weak stomach, so drink it while it's hot."
Han Lingcui didn't even raise her head, her fingertips tapping faster on the keyboard: "Take it away, I don't need it."
"Can we have a good talk?" Xuanyuan Ge sighed and walked behind her, "About us... and about the child."
At the mention of "child," Han Lingcui's movements suddenly stopped. She turned slowly, the coldness in her eyes almost freezing one.
"Xuanyuan Pavilion, there's nothing much to discuss between us. As for the child..."
She paused, and deliberately emphasized her tone, "I don't have your child, and I won't have one in the future."
Han Lingcui stood up suddenly, his chest heaving violently, and the documents on the table were scattered all over the floor.
Her reaction was very intense, even with an almost resolute resistance.
Xuanyuan Ge felt a little uncomfortable.
The child I have never met.
It is indeed a pain in his heart that is difficult to heal.
He looked at her red eyes and felt even more uncomfortable.
"Actually, I want to make it up to you. I know that you like that child of Shen Hanxing very much. I have already told Shen Hanxing that I want Xunxun to be my godson."
"This way, you can also be Xunxun's godmother."
