Chapter 456 Xunxun said he wanted to find his father
Shen Hanxing's fingertips were still on Qi Moxun's stubble. The child's voice coming from the living room was like a tiny needle, piercing her heart unexpectedly.
Those few words were light but carried a weight of a thousand pounds, making the ivory white wedding dress on her body suddenly feel heavy.
The lace rubbed against my skin, causing a slight itchy pain.
"What's wrong?"
Qi Moxun noticed her stiffness and followed her gaze towards the living room door. The children's laughter continued.
But it is obvious that these two children are no longer as innocent and lively as they used to be. Even when they are smiling, they seem to be carrying countless worries on their minds.
Shen Hanxing didn't say anything, but gently pushed his hand away and walked towards the living room holding the hem of her wedding dress.
The wedding dress made a rustling sound as it dragged on the floor. Every step she took felt like she was stepping on cotton, so light and empty that it made her tremble.
Qi Moxun hurried to catch up and saw her stop at the entrance, looking at the two small figures on the carpet, her shoulders shaking slightly, as if something was holding her breath.
"Why did Xunxun go to the Xuanyuan family?"
Her voice was soft, carrying the lingering tenderness from when she had just tried on the wedding dress, yet wrapped in an indelible bitterness.
Qi Moxun held her waist, and his palm could feel the tightness of her waistline.
I couldn't help feeling depressed.
Moreover, when he heard Shen Hanxing ask this, his face was full of surprise.
Just now, I was too focused on Shen Hanxing’s wedding dress and thinking about the set of red diamond jewelry, so I didn’t pay attention to what the children said.
"Perhaps, the children just said it casually, you..."
"It's not casual."
Chen Hanxing interrupted him, staring at Xunxun without blinking.
The little boy was tiptoeing to stuff a dinosaur model into the toy box. His profile in the afternoon sun revealed a certainty that was inconsistent with his age.
"Xunxun never says anything he's not sure of."
She took a deep breath, lifted her skirt and walked towards the children.
The train of the wedding dress swept across the pile of building blocks, knocking down half of the newly built "castle".
The wooden blocks clattered to the ground, startling the two children so much that they looked up at the same time.
Cheng Cheng saw her wedding dress first, and his eyes lit up: "Mom, you look like a fairy!"
Xunxun just pursed her lips and subconsciously twisted the tail of the dinosaur model with her fingers.
His eyes stayed on the hem of her skirt for two seconds, then quickly moved away to look at the old sycamore tree outside the window.
Shen Hanxing squatted down, and the puffy skirt of her wedding dress bloomed like a huge flower around her.
She tried her best to make her voice sound as gentle as usual: "Xunxun, did you just say you wanted to go back to the Xuanyuan family?"
Xunxun's shoulders shrank slightly, and he didn't answer immediately.
Chengcheng rushed to say, "Xunxun said she didn't want to make her mother worry."
"Did Xuanyuan Pavilion tell you so?" Shen Hanxing asked, his fingertips feeling slightly cold.
She knew that Xuanyuan Ge had come to visit Xunxun often recently, but she never expected that the child would have such an idea.
Perhaps, she really had problems with her understanding of Xuanyuan Pavilion.
She thought the other party was a gentleman.
But the other party took advantage of the loophole!
Xunxun shook his head, put the dinosaur model on the ground, and gently pushed it around with his toes.
"I wanted to go back on my own." He paused and lowered his voice.
"Besides...the Xuanyuan family is my home."
boom!
These words were more unbearable than a bolt from the blue.
"Xunxun!" Chen Hanxing's voice suddenly tightened, and his heart seemed to be tightly gripped by something, and the sour feeling spread along the blood vessels to every part of his body.
Why do you think so!
What on earth has she done wrong recently!
The child actually feels that being with her is not his home!
Why!
Xunxun raised her head, her clear eyes covered with a layer of mist.
"Mom, this is my home too, but... it's not where I should be."
He reached out and touched Shen Hanxing's wedding dress, his fingertips gently stroking the lace.
Shen Hanxing was shocked beyond words.
"Tell me, who told you these words?"
"Who's telling you this?"
She knew that because of her background, although Xunxun was only five years old, she was much more mature than her peers.
And my worries are getting heavier and heavier.
She always thought that this was an essential part of a child's growth.
So I don't want to interfere with him with adult thinking.
Who would have thought that her desire not to put too much pressure on her child would actually backfire!
She wanted to hold the child in her arms, but found her arms too heavy to lift.
For a moment.
She was very panicked.
I have no idea what to do.
I don’t know how to get Xunxun’s thinking back on track.
"Xunxun," Qi Moxun stood behind her at some point.
"Are you just worried that Mom will be stressed?"
Xunxun lowered her head and buried her face in the neck of the dinosaur model.
"If I don't leave, Mom will be in danger."
Shen Hanxing’s tears immediately fell.
It seems that the previous kidnapping did leave a serious psychological trauma on Xunxun.
Seeing his small shoulders trembling slightly, my heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
"You want to go back, right?" She spoke with difficulty, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of her throat.
Xunxun hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded gently. Her tears fell on the plastic back of the dinosaur model, leaving a small stain.
Shen Hanxing turned his head away and looked at the sunlight outside the window, his eyes suddenly becoming very hot.
She sniffed and tried to force a smile, but the corners of her mouth were stiff and unresponsive.
"Okay," she heard herself say, her voice so soft it sounded like a sigh, "If you really want to go back, I respect your idea."
"Really?"
Xunxun suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then dimmed, "But...will you be sad?"
"Silly child."
Shen Hanxing reached out and rubbed his hair, the trembling of her fingertips revealing her reluctance, "Mom can visit you anytime."
Having said that, the empty pain in my heart became more and more obvious, as if a piece of it was cut out and cold wind was blowing in.
Chengcheng looked at Xunxun, then at Chen Hanxing, and suddenly grabbed the corner of her clothes: "Mom, I'm here to accompany you!"
Shen Hanxing was startled, lowered her head to meet his timid eyes, and felt even worse in her heart.
In fact, I have been so busy during this period and had to deal with the Xuanyuan family's troubles that I have indeed neglected Chengcheng.
This child was led astray by the Fu family before, but now that he is with her, his character has changed.
After all, he is her child. After being together for a long time, everything in the past has long been forgotten.
What remains is blood ties!
Chengcheng buried his face in her arms.
Completely dependent on her.
Shen Hanxing hugged his soft little body, and her heart felt even more bitter.
She thought she could give these children a stable life, but it turned out that what she did was not enough, and she didn't even give the children a sense of security.
Qi Moxun gently supported her shoulders and whispered, "Go back to your room and change out of your wedding dress first, don't catch a cold."
Shen Hanxing nodded, and when he stood up, his steps were a little weak.
The hem of the wedding dress swept across the scattered building blocks, making a tiny crunching sound.
It makes people feel more confused.
