Chapter 434 The Child Cannot Be Circulated Outside
Xuanyuan Ge said slowly, "But I also know that you are his mother. In his heart, no one can replace you."
Shen Hanxing raised her head suddenly and looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect Xuanyuan Ge to say such a thing.
"Yesterday on the boat, he cried and told me to leave him alone, saying that I couldn't lose something important because of him."
Xuanyuan Ge's voice trembled slightly. "A five-year-old child can say such words. It shows that you have taught him well."
Chen Hanxing couldn't help but shed tears again. She knew that her Xunxun was a sensible and good child, so sensible that it made people feel distressed.
"Xuanyuange, I know you treat Xunxun well, and I thank you for saving him yesterday."
Chen Hanxing wiped away her tears and said firmly, "But Xunxun is my son, I can't give up on him. If you want him to stay in the Xuanyuan family, I won't agree."
Xuanyuan Ge looked at her, his eyes showing no anger, only a hint of helplessness: "I didn't say I wanted to take him away."
Shen Hanxing was stunned.
"I owe him so much over the years."
Xuanyuan Ge's gaze turned to Xunxun on the bed again, "I just want to make it up to him, give him the best life, and prevent him from suffering any grievances. But I won't force him, and I certainly won't let him leave you."
He paused, looked at Chen Hanxing, and said seriously: "Xunxun needs a mother and a complete family. If you want, we can... I hope you can take good care of him."
Chen Hanxing was completely stunned, unable to believe what she had heard. Xuanyuan Pavilion meant... that he agreed to let her and Xunxun be together?
"Are you...are you serious?"
Shen Hanxing's voice trembled.
Xuanyuan Ge nodded: "I know you don't trust me. But I promise you, from now on, I will not let anyone hurt Xunxun again, nor will I stop you from seeing him again."
He took out a small longevity lock from his pocket and placed it on the table.
The longevity lock was very similar to the one Xi Muxuan threw away yesterday, except that the word engraved on it was different, it was the word "Xun".
"This is something I've prepared a long time ago, but I never had the chance to give it to him."
Xuanyuan Ge's voice was very soft, "I know I did a lot of wrong things in the past and made Xunxun suffer a lot."
"Actually, I no longer expect to be forgiven."
"Lingling has long hated me and doesn't even want her child to have anything to do with me."
“But I still have one thing to ask Miss Shen.”
"From now on, don't stop me from seeing Xunxun."
"I won't fight you for custody, but I really can't let go of the child."
Chen Hanxing looked at the longevity lock on the table, then looked at Xunxun who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and tears blurred her vision again.
All the grievances, pains and struggles of these years seemed to make sense at this moment.
"Okay." She choked out a sob. "I believe you."
Xuanyuan Ge looked at her, a hint of relief and gratitude flashing in his eyes.
He knew how much courage it took for Shen Hanxing to agree.
He will not let this trust down and will definitely let Xunxun grow up in a loving environment and make him a happy child.
The sunlight from outside the window shone through the glass and fell on Xunxun's face, giving his pale little face a golden halo.
Shen Hanxing walked to the bedside and gently held Xunxun's little hand. The child's warm body temperature came from her cold fingertips.
She lowered her head, gently kissed the child's forehead, and whispered, "Xunxun, Mommy is here and will never leave you again."
Xunxun on the bed seemed to feel something. His little mouth moved and he made a vague mumbling sound, as if he was calling "Mom".
…
In the study of the Xuanyuan family's old house, sandalwood incense curls up from the copper stove, giving the ancient books on the mahogany bookshelf a heavy sense of age.
Jiang Shutong sat on a rosewood chair, her fingertips sliding across the cold armrests. The lotus pattern carved on the back of the chair made her fingertips numb, but it was far less sharp than the anxiety in her heart.
"Mom, you've been sitting here for half an hour."
Xuanyuan Ge stood by the window, holding a document in his hand, but he didn't read a single word.
The magnolia outside the window was in full bloom, as white as snow, which reminded him of the paper magnolia flower that Xunxun held in his hand yesterday. It was Chen Hanxing who taught him how to fold it.
Jiang Shutong raised her eyes. There was no expression on her well-maintained face, only the fine lines at the corners of her eyes revealed her emotions.
"I was thinking that the sheets in that child's ward were made of such ordinary material."
She paused, her voice suddenly cold, “Are you planning to let him follow Shen Hanxing and live in an apartment that doesn’t even have a security system?”
Xuanyuan Ge turned around, and the document was wrinkled in his palm.
“The place where Shen Hanxing lives was arranged by Qi Moxun, and the security is very comprehensive.”
"Qi Moxun?"
Jiang Shutong sneered, picked up the teacup and took a sip. The heat of the tea blurred the sarcasm in her eyes.
"Can a person from another family be more reliable than the Xuanyuan family?" She placed the teacup heavily on the table, and the celadon made a crisp sound when it collided.
"You're confused! Xunxun is the eldest grandson of the Xuanyuan family, destined to be included in the family tree. How could she live such a shameful life with such a notorious woman?"
Xuanyuan Ge's brows were twisted into a "川" shape: "Mom, Han Xing is Xunxun's mother."
"Mother?" Jiang Shutong felt as if she had heard a huge joke. "When she got divorced, she didn't even want her own son. What kind of mother is she?"
She stood up and walked to Xuanyuan Pavilion, her eyes as sharp as a knife.
"Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Do you feel like you owe the child something and want to make amends?"
"But have you ever thought that if the heir of the Xuanyuan family grows up with that kind of woman, he will only become a useless wimp in the future!"
"Mom!" Xuanyuan Ge's voice sank. "Xunxun is no one's appendage. He has his own life."
"He should have grown up in the Xuanyuan family!"
Jiang Shutong's voice suddenly rose, and the pearl necklace around her neck swayed with her movements.
"Do you think I'm willing to take care of these things? If it weren't for your utter devotion to Han Lingcui, would I need to worry about this?"
There was a sense of helplessness in her tone, a sense of disappointment.
"I've asked my family doctor. Han Lingcui injured her uterus in the car accident. Her chances of pregnancy are less than 30%. If you're truly determined to spend your life with her, Xunxun is the Xuanyuan family's only root!"
Xuanyuan Ge's face darkened.
He knew that his mother had been checking Han Lingcui's health, but he didn't expect that she even got the doctor's diagnosis.
He looked out the window. Magnolia petals were blown down by the wind, like a silent snowfall. "I don't need you to worry about my personal affairs."
"I'm your mother! Your business is my business!"
Jiang Shutong took a step forward and grabbed his arm, her knuckles turning white from the force.
"Your father passed away early. Was it easy for me to support this family alone? Now that we finally have a child, are you going to watch him be led astray by outsiders?"
"What is Chen Hanxing's background? What can she teach Xunxun?"
Xuanyuan Ge suddenly pulled his hand back, a trace of fatigue flashing in his eyes.
"Mom, Xunxun was on the boat before. In order to protect me, he was almost pushed into the sea by Xi Muxuan. He was only five years old, but he understood what responsibility and protection were. Shen Hanxing taught him very well, better than any of us."
"That's because he has Xuanyuan blood in his bones!"
Jiang Shutong refused to give in. "If he had grown up with us, he would have been even better!"
