Chapter 460 Let’s go home
He shrank back and subconsciously hid behind Jiang Shutong, with only half of his face exposed, looking at her timidly.
Shen Hanxing's heart seemed to be tugged by something, and the pain made her breathless.
She walked slowly down the steps, squatted down, and tried to make her voice sound gentle.
"Chengcheng, Xunxun, you guys..."
Jiang Shutong stood up and smiled gently at Shen Hanxing: "Miss Shen is here. I was afraid they were hungry, so I peeled some pomegranates for them."
There was no hostility in her tone, but rather a compassionate tone of an elder towards a younger person. "Come in and sit down. Ge'er is taking care of something in the study. I'll go get him."
"No need to trouble Madam."
Shen Hanxing quickly waved her hands, her gaze still fixed on the two children, “I just… just wanted to come and see them.”
Jiang Shutong had already walked to the door of the study and knocked gently.
Xuanyuan Ge came out quickly, wearing a gray wool sweater. When he saw Chen Hanxing, his face showed no expression. He just said lightly, "Come in and talk."
Shen Hanxing hesitated for a moment, glanced at Chengcheng who was still hiding behind Jiang Shutong, and followed Xuanyuan Ge into the living room.
Qi Moxun stood beside her, his eyes calmly scanning the furnishings in the living room.
“Miss Shen is looking for the child, is it for her own peace of mind, or is it really for the good of the child?”
Xuanyuan Ge sat down on the sofa, poured himself a cup of tea, and spoke directly to the point.
"You once said that if Xunxun wanted to come back, you wouldn't stop her. But you came to the door again today. What do you think the children will think?"
"I'm not going back on my word."
Shen Hanxing clenched her fingers, digging her nails into her palms, “I want to explain it clearly to them.”
"Yesterday, Chengcheng heard what Fu Jingheng and I said and misunderstood that I didn't want him anymore. I...I shouldn't have said those words in front of him. I was too impulsive."
Xuanyuan Ge put down the teacup, and the bottom of the cup made a slight sound when it hit the table.
"Miss Shen, children's hearts are the most sensitive. Chengcheng said that he was afraid that you would think he was Fu Jingheng's son and would send him away sooner or later. Is this fear also a misunderstanding?"
Shen Hanxing’s eyes instantly turned red.
She always thought she was doing well enough, but she forgot that in the world of children, a sense of security can never be built by just saying "I will support you".
"I never thought of it that way."
Her voice was filled with tears. “I brought them home and never thought of letting them leave again.”
Xuanyuan Ge raised his eyebrows, his tone tinged with sarcasm.
"Then how are you going to tell them that you and Qi Moxun will have your own children in the future? By then, will they be pushed into the corner again, watching the hustle and bustle of your family of three?"
"No!" Shen Hanxing raised his head suddenly, his eyes firm.
Xuanyuan Ge stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the two children picking pomegranate seeds in the yard.
"Ms. Shen, you may be a good woman, but you may not be able to be a fair mother."
"Xunxun is in the Xuanyuan family. I protect her and my mother loves her. She won't suffer any grievances. Chengcheng..."
He paused, then looked back at Shen Hanxing, "Fu Jingheng is eyeing you covetously, you may not be able to protect him."
"I can!" Shen Hanxing also stood up, "I have found the best lawyer. Fu Jingheng wants to fight for custody, unless I die!"
"What will happen to Chengcheng if you die?"
Xuanyuan Ge's voice suddenly became deep, "Ms. Shen, you are too stubborn. Sometimes, admitting your own limitations may not be a bad thing."
Just then, Chengcheng's crying voice suddenly came from the yard.
Shen Hanxing's heart tightened, and he rushed out immediately.
I saw Chengcheng squatting on the ground, covering his knees with his hands, tears falling down his face.
Xunxun squatted beside him, stamping her feet anxiously: "Why are you so careless?! Why are you running?"
"I didn't mean to..."
Chengcheng sobbed, "I want to tell grandma that mom likes to eat sweet pomegranates. Are there any more in the backyard..."
Chen Hanxing's heart felt like it had been doused with warm water, sour and soft.
She squatted down and gently held Chengcheng's knees, and found that his pants were a little scratched and bleeding.
"Does it hurt?" She took out the Band-Aid she carried with her and carefully put it on his knee. The trembling of her fingertips revealed her heartache.
Chengcheng looked at her, tears still falling, but he whispered, "It doesn't hurt."
Jiang Shutong came over with a medicine box and said with a smile, "Boys are bound to have bumps and bruises. Chengcheng just told me that he wanted to pick some pomegranates to bring back to you."
She also gently touched Chengcheng's head and said, "Children are all good children. As long as you treat them with care, they will understand."
She glanced at Shen Hanxing, then glanced at Xuanyuan Ge who was standing in the corridor, and said softly.
"After all, Xunxun is our Xuanyuan family's child and our treasure. If he stays, things will only get better than before."
Shen Hanxing nodded, and understood a little bit.
Since Xunxun has come to the Xuanyuan family, I’m afraid she won’t be able to go back in the short term.
"Mom," Xunxun tugged at her clothes and whispered, "We didn't mean to run away. Chengcheng was very sad, and I just wanted to take him out for a walk."
"Silly child." Shen Hanxing hugged him in his arms, then reached out to pull Chengcheng over, hugging the two small bodies tightly.
Cheng Cheng buried himself in her arms, sobbing, "Then... then you won't let me go with Dad?"
"No." Shen Hanxing touched his head, his tone extremely firm.
"As long as you don't want to leave, no one can take you away."
Chengcheng raised his head and looked at her with tearful eyes.
"Then... can I come to grandma's house sometimes? Grandma is really nice."
Chen Hanxing was stunned for a moment. Jiang Shutong only gave a little kindness, but Chengcheng was so moved.
This also shows that Chengcheng is actually lacking in love in his heart.
It was her fault.
She certainly didn't do what a mother should do.
"Can."
Xuanyuan Ge stood in the corridor, looking at the three people hugging each other in the yard, and the corners of his tense mouth relaxed slightly.
Shen Hanxing held the two children in her arms, feeling that the empty space in her heart was finally filled.
"So...are we going home now?"
Xunxun asked in a low voice, with reluctance in her eyes, but more of anticipation.
Shen Hanxing nodded and wiped the tears from his face: “Go home.”
When Chengcheng knew that his mother would not abandon him, he immediately felt full of guilt.
Now I hear them say this, of course I am very happy.
He must be filial to his mother.
Mom has been so busy lately, he must learn how to cook so that Mom can eat delicious food every day.
However, before they started to walk out, they were stopped by Jiang Shutong.
Jiang Shutong's gentle eyes slowly fell on Xunxun.
"Xunxun, didn't you say you loved grandma? Why are you leaving so suddenly?"
Xunxun's face was full of smiles. "I'll come to see grandma when I have time."
The smile on Jiang Shutong's face gradually disappeared.
"But this is your home."
“It’s not good to always disturb your Aunt Shen.”
Xunxun was stunned for a moment, then became very confused, "That's my mother."
