Chapter 402 I Can't Threaten You Anymore
"Xuanyuan Pavilion!"
Han Lingcui interrupted him directly.
"I'm warning you, Xunxun is Chen Hanxing's child. Don't think of using the child to control her."
"I do like Xunxun, but if you want to use Xunxun to threaten me, you're making a mistake!"
Xuanyuan Ge saw how excited she was, and the doubts in his heart grew bigger and bigger.
What are they afraid of? Why do they get so nervous when the topic of Xunxun is mentioned?
"Lingling, I know I was wrong back then."
Xuanyuan Ge lowered his posture, with regret in his voice.
"But...can't we just start over? I've already made things clear with my family and I won't let you suffer any more."
"Start over?" Han Lingcui suddenly laughed as if she had heard a huge joke, but tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Xuanyuan Pavilion, when you destroyed me, why didn't you think about starting over? I tell you, it's impossible."
She pointed at the door, her voice as cold as a knife: "Take your soup and boil it. Don't show up in front of me again, and don't bother Xunxun. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I will do."
Xuanyuan Ge looked at her resolute back, and the thermos in his hand became extremely heavy.
In the end, he turned around and left, but the doubts in his heart grew like vines.
Chen Hanxing's vigilance, Han Lingcui's excitement, and Xunxun's inexplicable sense of closeness...
These fragments swirled in his mind, vaguely pointing to a possibility he had never thought of.
In the studio, after he left, Han Lingcui finally couldn't hold on and slid to the ground.
She picked up the scattered documents on the ground, and at the bottom was a crumpled photo. It was a photo of Xunxun that she had secretly taken.
"Xunxun..." She pressed the photo tightly against her chest, her tears silently soaking her clothes.
"Mom will never let you get involved, she will never..."
The rain outside the window started to fall without me noticing, hitting the glass like countless tiny sighs.
Han Lingcui sat on the cold floor, her fingertips stroking the smiling face in the photo again and again, but her heart felt like it was soaked in ice water, tightening.
The phone vibrated on the table. It was a video call from Shen Hanxing.
When the call was connected, Shen Hanxing's worried face was reflected on the screen: "Lingcui, Xuanyuan Pavilion didn't contact you again, right? The children just fell asleep, and I always feel uneasy."
Han Lingcui sniffed and forced a smile.
"It's okay, he's gone. It's just... he seemed suspicious. When he mentioned Xunxun today, his eyes looked strange."
"I knew it would be like this."
Shen Hanxing's voice sank, and the camera could see Qi Moxun behind her handing her a cup of warm water, which she took and took a sip.
"Xuanyuan Pavilion's assistant is checking hospital records recently, so we need to prepare in advance."
Han Lingcui's heart suddenly sank: "Check the hospital records? Is he..."
“It’s not certain yet, but we can’t take it lightly.”
Chen Hanxing's tone was particularly serious, "The paternity test you did at the time, Ah Xun has already done an elimination operation, but the Xuanyuan family has powerful connections, and I don't know how long this matter can be concealed."
The raindrops were beating harder. Han Lingcui looked at the blurry neon lights outside the window and suddenly remembered the days when he had a falling out with Xuanyuan Pavilion.
It was then that she found out she was pregnant, and people from the Xuanyuan family came to her house and said that Xuanyuan Pavilion must marry someone who would be beneficial to the family, and asked her to "leave tactfully."
At that time, Xuanyuan Ge was dealing with a family crisis abroad. She couldn't get through to him on the phone and only received a message from his assistant saying, "Sorry, sir, you can't help yourself."
Her heart was completely chilled, which led to the subsequent accident.
"I will never let them take Xunxun away."
Han Lingcui's voice was trembling, but extremely firm.
"Once you enter the Xuanyuan family's muddy water, you can never get out. Xunxun deserves to have a normal childhood, not be a pawn."
"I know." Chen Hanxing's voice softened, "Let's carry it together. There will always be a way."
After hanging up the phone, Han Lingcui carefully tucked the photo back into the depths of a drawer, where she also hid a yellowed pregnancy test report. The date on it was right after her last meeting with Xuanyuan Ge. She had thought it was the beginning of happiness, but it turned out to be endless torment.
On the other side, Xuanyuan Ge was sitting in the car, the wipers sweeping across the mist on the glass again and again, but they could not dispel the doubts in his heart.
The assistant just sent a message: "Sir, no clues found."
Xuanyuan Ge tapped his fingertips lightly on the steering wheel, his mind full of the image of Xunxun.
Xunxun's eyes, that clear yet stubborn look, are exactly the same as Han Lingcui's;
He likes strawberries, and Han Lingcui's favorite thing to eat is strawberry cake;
Even the small action of him clutching the doll when he was scared was very similar to Han Lingcui's habit of clutching the corner of his clothes when he was nervous.
These fragments were pieced together in his mind, and an unthinkable thought emerged: Xunxun, could it be his son?
The thought made his heart beat wildly, with a mixture of surprise and joy, as well as a hint of indescribable panic.
If that was true, why did Han Lingcui hide it from him? And why did Chen Hanxing help to conceal it?
Was it because of the misunderstanding back then, or... He didn't dare to think too much about it, he just felt a tightness in his chest.
"Turn around and go to the hot spring villa."
Xuanyuan Ge suddenly said to the driver, with an imperceptible tremor in his voice.
He wanted to go see Xunxun, even if it was just a look from a distance, to confirm whether that thought was true.
The car drove back into the rain and headed towards the valley.
Xuanyuan Ge looked at the night scene passing by outside the window, his heart in a mess.
What should he do if Xunxun is really his son?
Apologize to Han Lingcui and ask for her forgiveness?
Break away from the family completely and protect the mother and child?
But Han Lingcui's resolute eyes and Chen Hanxing's vigilant attitude were like two invisible walls blocking him.
In the wooden house of the hot spring villa, Shen Hanxing hung up the phone, and Qi Moxun gently hugged her from behind.
"Don't worry, I've already sent scouts to keep a close eye on the people from Xuanyuan Pavilion. They won't be able to find anything."
Shen Hanxing leaned in his arms, listening to his steady heartbeat, feeling a little relieved: "I'm just worried that he'll become suspicious. Xuanyuan Pavilion is so smart, there are many details that can't be concealed."
"So what?" Qi Moxun lowered his head and kissed the top of her head. "Xunxun is our child now. As long as we protect him, no one can take him away."
The rain was still falling outside the window, and white steam was rising from the hot spring pool in the valley, making the night hazy.
Just like Shen Hanxing’s current state of mind.
The fog was so thick that I couldn't see anything clearly.
It just made her feel uneasy.
"Fu Jingheng is still in the dark"
She was even more anxious.
"He's been keeping a close eye on us, and now there's been no news. He might be worried about being implicated by Xuanyuan Ce."
"But we can't ignore him because of this."
"Besides, Fu Jingheng always likes to surprise people. I'm worried that he might know something."
Qi Moxun hugged her tightly.
"Leave it to me, I will make sure he can never threaten you again!"
