Chapter 163 Happiness comes too suddenly
Tianshu: [Your feeling is very accurate, Doctor Zhong is targeting Chu Moxiao. ]
Shen Chaoyan raised an eyebrow: [What? Does he have a grudge against Chu Moxiao? ]
Tianshu: [Doctor Zhong doesn't know that Chu Moxiao doesn't know that An Qiqi is his daughter, and thinks that Chu Moxiao deliberately abandoned his biological daughter. Look, he is venting his anger for An Qiqi! ]
Shen Chaoyan: [Doctor Zhong is old, but I didn't expect him to be a man of temperament! ]
When she turned her head and looked at Zhong Shiwen again, she felt that this little old man was inexplicably cute.
After the medicine was fed, about a cup of tea later, the sleepy An Qiqi slowly opened her eyes.
She rolled her eyes and fixed her gaze on An Lan, "Mother..."
"Qiqi!"
An Lan's eyes turned red when she saw the color gradually turning on An Qiqi's face, "How do you feel? Are you feeling better?"
"My daughter made mother worried." An Qiqi is not very old, but she is a sensible child.
When the empress dowager saw that the little girl was awake, she immediately said to Zhong Shiwen, "Dr. Zhong has worked hard, you go to the next room to rest first, I want to talk to Lord Zhongqin."
"Yes."
As soon as Zhong Shiwen left, Tianshu couldn't wait to communicate with Shen Chaoyan: [Pay attention! The empress dowager is going to pull together An Lan and Chu Moxiao! ]
Shen Chaoyan was excited: [Wow! Are they going to help the lovers get together? 】
After the door was closed and there were no outsiders in the room, the Queen Mother spoke again, "Uncle Zhongqin, Qiqi is weak, and we need to take more of your blood as a medicine. Are you willing?"
Chu Moxiao knew that An Qiqi was An Lan's adopted daughter, and nodded without hesitation, "Of course, take as much blood as you want."
The Queen Mother glanced at An Lan, "If you take too much blood, your life may be in danger. I will give you a chance to regret it."
In fact, she had consulted Zhong Shiwen specifically, and it would be enough to take blood five times, which would not endanger her life.
She said this deliberately just to test Chu Moxiao.
And Chu Moxiao said without hesitation, "I am willing, and I will never regret it!"
An Lan was so worried about An Qiqi. If An Qiqi could not be cured, An Lan would definitely be in great pain.
It was worth it to exchange his life for the safety and happiness of them mother and daughter!
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, "You won't regret it even if you lose your life?"
Chu Moxiao glanced in the direction of An Lan vaguely, and replied in a sonorous voice, "I have no regrets!"
"In that case, I have something to tell you today."
[It's coming! The exciting moment has finally arrived! The Queen Mother will be the matchmaker to match good sisters and former lovers! ]
Shen Chaoyan couldn't help but grab Sikong Yan's sleeve when she heard this.
Sikong Yan turned his wrist and held her hand directly.
This woman is too dramatic inside, and she can't stop for a moment.
Chu Moxiao bowed to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, please speak. I am all ears."
The Queen Mother glanced at An Lan, and when she saw An Lan nod, she spoke again, "Look at Qiqi, look at her eyebrows and eyes, don't they look very similar to yours?"
Chu Moxiao was startled, and then he realized something, and turned his head abruptly to look at the little girl on the bed.
To be honest, since he entered the room, his attention has been on An Lan. Even when he just fed the little girl medicine with his own hands, he didn't see clearly what the little girl looked like.
At this moment, he looked at An Qiqi's eyebrows and eyes, which were 60% similar to his own. His lips opened and closed for a long time before he heard himself speak hoarsely, "Qiqi is...is it..."
An Lan is not a shy person. She didn't want to tell Chu Moxiao before because she hoped that he could pursue his own destiny and happiness.
But after this man returned to Beijing, he was alone and refused all the matchmakers who came to propose marriage for him.
He never married in his life, so he should know that he has a daughter.
Thinking of this, An Lan nodded, "Yes, Qiqi is your daughter! She was very ill before, and only her biological father's blood can save her!"
She spoke softly, but every word hit Chu Moxiao's heart hard.
His body shook, and his chest, which was as desolate as a barren land, seemed to have grown a green grassland in an instant as if it had rained sweet dew.
It turned out that he had a daughter!
Chu Moxiao felt that happiness came too suddenly.
He stared at the little girl sitting on the bed for a long time. Looking at
her curved eyebrows, her clear and bright eyes, her straight nose, and her light pink little mouth, the more he looked at her, the more intimate he felt, and the more he liked her.
He raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch the little girl's face, but stopped in mid-air.
"Your name is Qiqi?"
"Yes."
"How old are you this year?"
"Ten years old."
Ten years old?
Chu Moxiao remembered that eleven years ago, he was tricked by the princess of the enemy army and drugged.
At that time, he was drugged and was rescued by An Lan and taken back to the barracks.
When he woke up the next day, his mind was like a broken piece. He could not remember what happened that night, only some blurry pictures.
In the picture, all he saw was An Lan crying and asking him to "be gentle".
At that time, he just thought he had a spring dream.
Who would have thought that the spring dream was actually real!
No wonder it wasn't long before the news of An Lan's injury came out.
Later, An Lan recuperated in a farmer's house near the border.
It turned out that she secretly gave birth to the baby in her belly in the name of recuperation.
Later, An Lan asked to leave the battlefield.
Before leaving, she picked up an abandoned baby, brought it back to Jiangnan, and raised it as a daughter.
All of this was not a coincidence, but she deliberately fabricated the identity to conceal their daughter's life experience.
Chu Moxiao slowly put his hands on An Qiqi's shoulders, not daring to use too much force, but reluctant to let go.
When he spoke again, his voice was low and hoarse, with a bit of suppressed trembling, "I, I am your biological father."
An Qiqi heard their conversation and already knew her life experience.
However, after Chu Moxiao finished speaking, An Qiqi still turned her head to look at An Lan who was standing at the end of the bed.
Seeing An Lan nodded to her, she called softly, "Father."
Chu Moxiao's lips trembled, and he finally calmed down his emotions, "Good child! It's my fault! For so many years, I have never fulfilled my responsibilities as a father, and let you and your mother suffer!"
An Lan is a strong woman. No matter how difficult the things are, she is used to facing them alone.
This time, if her daughter was not seriously ill, I am afraid she would never tell Chu Moxiao about An Qiqi's life experience in her life.
Despite this, Chu Moxiao felt extremely guilty whenever he thought of the hardships An Lan had to go through in raising the child alone.
"An Lan, I should have found you earlier! I shouldn't have let you and the child endure so much!"
God knows how much he wanted to find her over the years.
However, he forcibly suppressed the impulse in his bones.
He told himself over and over again that she was now the mistress of the Liang family, and she still had two children to raise, and he absolutely could not ruin her reputation.
An Lan looked at Chu Moxiao, a grown man, with red eyes due to guilt, and could not help but say, "You don't have to be like this. Having a baby was a decision I made alone, and it has nothing to do with you."
Her original intention of saying this was to prevent Chu Moxiao from blaming himself. It was indeed she who chose to hide the fact after learning that she was pregnant.
However, Chu Moxiao thought she wanted to cut off all ties with him.
He lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong, and said in a somewhat helpless tone, "I know, I was sorry for you at the beginning! I dare not ask for anything else, I just hope that I can have the opportunity to see our daughter in the future, okay?"
