Chapter 454 Using Chengcheng’s Custody Rights
"Because I don't want to make my mother worry."
Xunxun's voice dropped, "Just like you don't want to make your mother sad."
Chengcheng thought about it and nodded vigorously.
"Then you can run back secretly like I did. I ran back from dad last time."
Xunxun was amused. The tears in the corners of her eyes had not yet dried, but the corners of her mouth were already curled up.
"But the Xuanyuan family must have a lot of bodyguards, so they can't get away."
"Then you wait."
Cheng Cheng patted his shoulder like a little adult and said, "When you grow up and become as powerful as Ultraman, you can decide where to live by yourself."
Xunxun looked at the Band-Aid on Chengcheng's forehead and suddenly remembered something.
"Mom and Dad Qi are getting married. They said they'll have the wedding after they're done with this."
"Yes," Chengcheng looked up at the sky. In fact, he was also looking forward to this wedding.
Uncle Qi said he owed Mom this.
But he felt that as long as his mother was happy, that was enough.
He hopes his mother is happy every day.
Xunxun's eyes lit up. "If I leave, I want to wait until their wedding is over. I also want to prepare gifts for them."
"I want to, too!"
Cheng Cheng jumped up, “I can draw a picture of the four of us. Me, you, Mother Shen, and Uncle Qi, like a family portrait.”
"And draw dinosaurs!" Xunxun added, "very big dinosaurs, guarding them."
Two children squatted on the ground, using branches to draw an imaginary wedding in the fallen leaves.
The golden leaves were blown up by the wind and fell on their hair and shoulders, like a handful of stars.
…
Qi Moxun pushed open the door of the jewelry store, and the brass wind chimes made a crisp sound.
The clerk led him through the display cases of diamonds and into a secret room inside.
On the black velvet tray, a pigeon blood red diamond ring lay quietly, with a thick luster flowing under the light, like a solidified sunset.
"This is 'Red Flame'."
The clerk's voice was filled with awe. "The last time it appeared was at an auction three years ago. I didn't expect it to suddenly appear in the domestic market."
Qi Moxun put on white gloves and gently brushed the surface of the diamond with his fingertips.
The light reflected from the cut surface danced in his eyes, like the light in the corners of Shen Hanxing's eyes every time he smiled.
This was the surprise he prepared for Shen Hanxing.
Unfortunately, I missed a move and someone else took it first.
He thought the surprise would be replaced with something else, but he didn't expect the person who took the photo of the "surprise" to contact him on his own initiative.
"Does the seller really just want to see me in person?"
"Yes."
Lin An handed over a document. "The other party is very mysterious. They only said that you must be present in person for the transaction. The location is set at a private art gallery on the outskirts of the city, and the time is 3 pm tomorrow."
Qi Moxun put down the ring and took off his gloves: "Can't find any information?"
“Nothing.”
Lin An's brows knitted together. "The source of funds, identity and background, are all blank. It's like... they appeared out of thin air."
"Interesting."
Qi Moxun picked up the appraisal certificate from the tray, a faint smile on his face, "The more mysterious it is, the more I want to meet it."
"Boss Qi, could this be a scam?" Lin An was worried. "Things have been turbulent lately. Xunxun's incident just happened..."
"rest assured."
Qi Moxun put the certificate back into the file bag and said, "I'll arrange for bodyguards. Everything will be fine."
He looked at the red diamond, his eyes softening, "This is a surprise for Han Xing, there can't be any mistakes."
Lin An looked at the longing in his boss's eyes and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
He has followed Qi Moxun for many years and knows how stubborn this seemingly gentle president is in his heart, especially when it comes to matters involving Shen Hanxing.
It was dusk when we left the jewelry store.
Qi Moxun sat in the car, looking through the wedding dress designs on his phone.
Shen Hanxing has beautiful shoulders, and a backless style should suit her very well; the hem of the skirt should be embellished with diamonds, like the white shirt she wore when she first appeared in court, clean and dazzling.
He wanted to give her a grand wedding to make up for all the regrets he had when he got the marriage certificate in a hurry.
The phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Shen Hanxing: "Xunxun said she wanted to wait until after our wedding to make a decision. What do you think?"
Qi Moxun's finger paused on the screen for a moment, and he replied with two words: "Listen to him."
Then he added, "The wedding is on the 16th of next month. I've already picked a venue. It's in the glass church by the lake. You're sure to like it."
When Chen Hanxing received the news, he, Xunxun, and Chengcheng were lying on the living room floor pasting paper lanterns.
The outline of the pumpkin lantern has been cut out, and the children are sticking gold sequins on it. The scraps of paper are scattered on the ground like fragments of stars.
"The wedding is scheduled for the 16th of next month." Shen Hanxing held up his phone to show the children, "You must wear a suit then."
"I want to wear a dinosaur suit!" Xunxun raised his hands covered in glue.
"I want to wear Ultraman!" Chengcheng shouted.
Shen Hanxing smiled and ruffled their hair: “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Han Lingcui walked in with a fruit plate and saw the mess on the floor. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Are you going to tear the house down?"
"Auntie Han, come and help!"
Xunxun held up a crooked lantern and said, "We're going to make ten lanterns and hang them at the church door."
Han Lingcui put down the fruit plate, sat down next to Shen Hanxing, and picked up the glue stick: "I heard that Mr. Qi is preparing a wedding dress?"
"Well, he's very secretive and won't tell me the details."
Shen Hanxing complained, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, "He said he wanted to give me a surprise."
"He has always been sincere to you." Han Lingcui looked at her and suddenly sighed, "As for Xunxun's matter..."
"Let him be happy for a few more days."
Shen Hanxing's gaze fell on the children. Xunxun was sticking sequins on the tip of Chengcheng's nose, and the two children rolled into a ball with laughter.
"No matter what happens in the future, at least he is happy during this period."
Han Lingcui didn't say anything else, but just helped them stick the lanterns silently.
The moonlight from outside the window came in, illuminating the children's smiling faces and the tears that flashed in Shen Hanxing's eyes.
Some partings are bound to happen, and perhaps all we can do is say goodbye properly.
…
The private art gallery has a very high dome, and the sunlight shines through the colored glass, casting colorful spots of light on the floor.
Qi Moxun stood in front of the replica of "Starry Sky", his fingertips unconsciously stroking the watch chain on his wrist.
It was a gift from Shen Hanxing, with a small diamond hidden in the dial.
"Mr. Qi is indeed on time."
A man in a black windbreaker walked out of the shadows, with a silver mask on his face, revealing only a pair of deep eyes.
In the display case behind him, the red diamond "Red Flame" glowed faintly under the spotlight.
"I want 'Red Flame'." Qi Moxun's voice was calm and steady. "Name your price."
“Price is not an issue.”
The masked man walked up to the display case and tapped his fingertips on the glass. "I just want to make a deal with Mr. Qi."
"What deal?"
“I’ll help you deal with Fu Jingheng, and you give Shen Hanxing to me.”
Qi Moxun's eyes instantly turned cold: "Who are you?"
"A man who wants to take back what's his."
The masked man chuckled, “Fu Jingheng has been in contact with overseas forces recently, trying to use Chengcheng’s custody rights to force Shen Hanxing to hand over the company’s shares.”
"I know his weakness, and I know how to make him disappear completely."
"Do you think I would trade the Frost Star?"
Qi Moxun reached for the cell phone in his pocket, where the emergency call button was hidden.
"I thought you would consider her safety."
The masked man's voice was bewitching, "Fu Jingheng is like a poisonous snake. If you don't get rid of it, he will bite someone one day. But I can help you get rid of this trouble forever."
Qi Moxun stared at the eyes under his mask and suddenly smiled: "Do you think I don't know who you are?"
The masked man paused.
"Fu Jingchen!"
The masked man was stunned and said nothing.
Qi Moxun sneered and continued.
"Back then, Fu Jingheng was an illegitimate child. You all didn't think highly of him, so you didn't take him seriously."
"But Fu Jingheng and Han Xing joined forces and soon forced your mother to acknowledge this illegitimate child."
"After that, they pressed on, and your mother had no choice but to take you abroad."
"Everyone said that the original wife of the Fu family was very wise. She took away many things from the Fu family and left Fu Jingheng with a mess."
"But only those who truly understand the Fu family know."
"Your father didn't have much property back then, and there were also big problems within the Fu family. Before Fu Jingheng came to the door, there were already internal and external troubles. Your parents were also considering divorce."
"Now that you have the power, you want to take everything back."
"You want Han Xing only because you resent her for being so ruthless to you back then."
"Of course, you also want to make Han Xing your hostage so that Fu Jingheng will be afraid to act rashly, right?"
The masked man suddenly pulled off the mask on his face, revealing a face that was almost identical to Fu Jingheng, except for a shallow scar at the corner of his eye.
