Chapter 431 The Xuanyuan Family Will Not Give Up This Child
Xi Muxuan had long guessed that Xuanyuan Pavilion would use all means.
It leaves a way out for myself.
So when Qi Moxun brought people on board, her lifeboat had already sailed far away.
"Boss Qi, let's chase them."
Qi Moxun waved his hand.
Looking at the waves being washed away by the speedboat in the distance.
"There's the high seas ahead. It's not safe for us to chase after them."
The others couldn't help but stamp their feet in anger.
"Can we just watch her get away with it?"
Now that Xi Muxuan has returned abroad, it will be very difficult to catch her again.
Qi Moxun rubbed his eyebrows.
It would be a good thing if Xi Muxuan returned abroad.
His people will make Xi Muxuan come back on her own initiative.
Chasing after them now would only result in more casualties.
The most important thing now is that Xunxun is fine and should be sent to the hospital for examination first.
Next, we have to face the Xuanyuan family's attack on Xunxun...
In short.
Arresting people is the least important thing.
"Search this boat and go back first."
Although everyone didn't understand.
But in the end, I had no choice but to do it.
…
The smell of disinfectant in the hospital corridor is like an invisible film, making it difficult to breathe.
Chen Hanxing stood at the fire escape entrance of the pediatric ward, his fingertips unconsciously scratching the peeling paint on the wall. His fingertips hurt, but it was far less painful than the dense, dull pain in his heart.
On the other side of the glass window, the door of Xunxun's ward was tightly closed. A warm yellow light shone through the crack of the door, but it seemed as if there was an insurmountable galaxy between them.
Half an hour ago, she saw with her own eyes the nurse pushing Xunxun into the ward. There were still traces of tears on the child's pale face, and the fingers that were clutching the corner of the quilt were trembling slightly.
But she couldn't even go up and hug him.
Because the Xuanyuan family's bodyguards were guarding the door like two iron towers, blocking all her attempts to get closer with cold eyes.
"He only has minor skin injuries. The doctor said he was too frightened and needs to rest. He'll be fine."
Qi Moxun's voice came from behind, with his unique calmness.
He gently grasped Shen Hanxing's cold wrist, pulled her hand away from the wall, and the warmth of his palm seeped in little by little.
"You've been standing here for almost an hour. The wind is blowing in from the stairs. Be careful not to catch a cold."
Shen Hanxing turned around, her eyes were very red, and there was still moisture on her eyelashes.
"I know he's okay, but I can't get in."
Her voice was hoarse and nasal.
"Did you see that? Xuanyuan Pavilion is guarding inside, and Han Lingcui has also gone in. They seem... they seem to be a family."
She was trying to remain calm.
But my heart was already in turmoil.
If you search for this...
What should she do?
The elevator at the end of the corridor opened with a ding, and a doctor in a white coat hurried past, his footsteps particularly clear in the empty corridor.
Chen Hanxing subconsciously shrank behind Qi Moxun, as if afraid that someone would see her in such a state of embarrassment.
She had never hated her own powerlessness so much. Xunxun was the child she had given birth to at great pains, but now she had to face so many obstacles that she had to be cautious even when looking at him.
"No."
Qi Moxun raised his hand to tidy up her hair that was messed up by the wind, and his fingertips brushed across the corners of her red eyes, his movements as gentle as if he were treating fragile porcelain.
"Xunxun has you in his heart. Have you forgotten the last time he secretly gave you a family portrait? The mother in his painting had a ponytail, exactly like you do now."
Shen Hanxing’s tears suddenly welled up.
How could she forget? She still kept that shaky crayon drawing in her wallet.
The little people in the painting are Xunxun with a gap-toothed smile, and herself with a ponytail. There is also a tall figure drawn next to them. Xunxun said that it was "Uncle Qi".
That was the child's purest wish, but now it seems like an unattainable dream.
"But the Xuanyuan family won't let go."
She choked with sobs, her shoulders shaking slightly. "Xuanyuan Pavilion even gave up the new energy project for him. Do you think... does he really intend to keep Xunxun by his side?"
Qi Moxun held her in his arms, let her face rest on his chest, and listened to her steady and strong heartbeat.
He could clearly feel the trembling of the person in his arms, the fear and anxiety that penetrated deep into his bones.
Chen Hanxing suffered a lot for Xunxun, from the forced separation to the cautiousness after reunion.
She was like a mother animal protecting her cubs, using her frail body to withstand all wind and rain. However, facing the deeply rooted Xuanyuan family, her strength was too weak.
"His decision today was more out of guilt."
Qi Moxun stroked her back gently, his voice low and firm.
"The deal back then involved the feud between the Xi and Xuanyuan families, and Xunxun was dragged into it innocently. Xuanyuan Pavilion owed him a sense of security, so he made concessions, but this does not mean that he can replace you."
He paused, looked down at Shen Hanxing's wet eyes, and said word by word.
"Han Xing, we never intended to give up from the beginning. Xunxun is your son, and this is a fact that no one can change. Legally, the custody is still in your hands. Even if the Xuanyuan family is powerful, they cannot ignore the rules."
Shen Hanxing sniffed and buried his face deeper.
Qi Moxun's embrace was like a warm harbor, isolating herself from the cold and noise of the outside world.
She knew what he said was right, but the panic in her heart surged back like a tide.
Over the years, she has seen too many cases of power oppressing others. For a behemoth like the Xuanyuan family, it would be easy to snatch a child away.
"I'm afraid..."
Her voice came out muffled, "I'm afraid they'll use all kinds of methods to force me to let go. I'm afraid Xunxun will forget me as her mother if she stays with them for too long..."
"No."
Qi Moxun held her face and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks with his fingertips, his eyes serious enough to make people feel at ease.
"You are his mother. No one can take Xunxun away. I won't agree to it, and neither will you. Xunxun will definitely not agree to it."
He raised his hand and gently touched her brow with his fingertips.
"Do you remember the first time we went to see him in kindergarten? He was hiding behind the slide, clutching the little bear pendant you sewed for him. When he saw you, his eyes lit up. That wasn't a reaction a stranger could give; it was a closeness engraved in blood."
Shen Hanxing's tears gradually stopped.
Qi Moxun always managed to wake her up with the simplest words when she was most panicked.
Those memories that were overwhelmed by fear are now becoming clearer little by little.
The weight of Xunxun when she threw herself into her arms for the first time, the grievance of crying and saying "I want to find my mother" when she was bullied by the children in kindergarten for the first time...
These are the unique connections between her and Xunxun, like a dense net, firmly binding their hearts together.
Yes, Xunxun is her child! It must be!
