Chapter 1238 At least I can keep a good memory
Li Jinxing paused when looking at Si Yan and didn't react for a while.
Siyan took a sip of milk tea and lowered his head and said, "When you answered the phone on the balcony that night, I heard you say your mother's name."
"Just because of this?"
Si Yan shook his head. "I want to go back to Qiule Manor, but Uncle Sun won't let us go back. This would have been impossible before. Dad... I know you'll be very angry when Mom leaves and will go looking for her, so... have you found her and brought her to Qiule Manor? You don't want us to see her, so you won't let Uncle Sun take us back?"
Zhou Yi, who was driving in front, was a little surprised at the child's intelligence. Just based on these two things, he actually guessed half of what happened.
I always thought that as long as they didn't tell anyone, the two children would never know, and hiding it from them would be good for them.
But with their intelligence, how could they possibly hide it?
Zhou Yi looked behind him in the rearview mirror. There was an unmelted ice and snow in Li Jinxing's drooping brows. He was thinking about whether to admit it or tell Si Yan and the others.
Li Jinxing's first reaction was denial, but when the words came to his lips, they were like cotton stuck in his throat, unable to be spit out or swallowed.
Six-year-old children also have the ability to read people's expressions. From the various expressions on Li Jinxing's face, you can tell that what he said is mostly true.
Mom is back... should I be happy?
Si Yan and Si Xu both like their mother very much. They should be happy that Gu Wanqiu is back.
But in this atmosphere, they can't be happy at all.
Among the things they knew, He Tianyou revealed some of them.
Dad found Mom, but locked her up in Qiule Manor and didn't let her go out, like a bird in a cage.
Their parents didn't love each other, and their mother dropped everything and wanted to leave.
If mom is unhappy with them, then they won't be happy either.
To like someone is to fulfill her, not to imprison her for your own selfish reasons.
"Do you want to see her?"
Si Yan Si Xu did not answer the question directly, but asked in return.
"Does Mom want to see us?"
They like their mother, so they care more about her thoughts.
Li Jinxing thought about Gu Wanqiu's attitude towards Xiao Sui. She didn't even care about her own child, so how could she care about these two children?
If Gu Wanqiu were to meet Si Yan and Si Xu at this time, would she say something unpleasant to hurt them?
Li Jinxing closed his eyes and thought for a moment: "Don't worry about her thoughts. As long as you meet, I will take you back to Qiule Manor. Not only can you see her, but you can also see your sister."
"Has my sister been born yet?"
"Yeah, it's a full moon."
Si Yan and Si Xu looked at each other and saw desire in each other's eyes. They wanted to return to Qiule Manor.
Compared to North City, Qiule Manor is where they grew up. They are more familiar with it. Moreover, as long as they go back, they can see their mother. If their mother is unhappy, they can coax her to be happy.
There is also my younger sister Xiaosui, whose name was chosen by them together.
When their mother was pregnant with my sister, they often gathered around her, telling stories and singing songs to her belly.
I don’t know if my sister will remember these things after she is born...
Si Yan hesitated for a moment and then made up his mind: "I want to go back to Qiule Manor."
Si Xu also said, "I want one too."
"Let's forget about it today. Tomorrow is Saturday. Let's pack up and go back. She's sick today." He and Gu Wanqiu had just had an argument, and it would be easy for him to lose control of his emotions if they met again at this time.
When they heard that Gu Wanqiu was sick, the two brothers looked anxious: "Mom is sick? Is it serious?"
"It's not serious, just a common cold. I'm afraid it might be contagious to you, so even if you can go back to see her tomorrow, you two can't get too close to her. Got it?"
"knew."
Even though Gu Wanqiu had cruelly abandoned them, they never blamed her and still care about her.
…
The next morning, Si Yan Si Xu got up early, and after breakfast, he took the initiative to pack his luggage, put the things he wanted to take in order, and then asked the nanny to find a bag to pack them for them.
The two children were obviously in high spirits today, excited but also nervous and worried, as they were afraid of seeing their mother and didn't know how to make her happy.
They feel timid when they are close to home and have not seen their mother for a long time.
After getting in the car, the two children were filled with questions. Thinking about going back to Qiule Manor today, they went to bed early last night, thinking of going to bed early and getting up early, but who knew that they couldn't sleep at all.
"Dad, is my sister cute?"
"Very cute, just as cute as you guys."
"Do you have any photos?"
Li Jinxing was shocked. He really didn't have any photos. During the month after the child was born, he was plagued by illness. He had to accompany Si Yan and Si Xu while dealing with work. He rarely went to Qiule Manor, and the confinement nanny told him about the child's condition.
"There are no photos. When you return to Qiule Manor and see your sister, you can take pictures yourself."
It’s a pity that there are no photos, but they will be able to see their sister at Qiule Manor soon.
They took out a bag from the backpack they were carrying.
"What is this?" Li Jinxing asked.
Siyan replied, "This is a gift we prepared for our sister."
The two bags were opened, and they were full of handmade gadgets, paper cranes, paper stars, paper lanterns, and two paintings.
Si Yan was a little embarrassed: "My brother and I made this during our playtime at school. I wanted to give it to my sister. I wonder if she will like it."
"She's sure to like it."
"Very good."
Li Jinxing took the bag from Sixu's hand and looked inside. Some of the paper cranes were folded roughly, while others were folded very well. Judging from the marks, it should have been a while. They might have started preparing these before Gu Wanqiu left.
When they arrived at Qiule Manor, the driver slowly drove the car in and stopped at the door. Li Jinxing got out first and then carried the children out one by one.
They hadn't been back to Qiule Manor for so long that the roses around the fountain had already bloomed.
Siyan and Sixu both inherited Gu Wanqiu's allergy to rose pollen.
Even though she is allergic and can't touch them and can only watch from afar... she still likes roses and hopes someone can plant roses for her.
Li Jinxing did it.
So what?
It still failed to move Gu Wanqiu.
At this time, Gu Wanqiu was standing in front of the window looking at the roses downstairs.
The roses selected by Li Jinxing are beautiful, but have no fragrance. They may have been selected specifically based on her allergic constitution. Roses without fragrance have very little pollen, so even if Gu Wanqiu touches them with her hands, she will not have an allergic reaction.
The window was open and she could hear the sound of a car engine downstairs.
Gu Wanqiu didn't know that Li Jinxing had returned. Li Jinxing rarely came back here, and every time he came back, he would make a fuss and leave unhappy.
The bigger reason why Li Jinxing came here was for the child.
Maybe he will take the child away soon, and then she won't be able to see the child even if she wants to.
And when will she be able to leave here?
The nanny ran up and said, "Miss Gu, President Li is back." She ran up to remind Gu Wanqiu not to make Li Jinxing angry.
Every time Li Jinxing gets angry, she is the one who suffers.
Gu Wanqiu was stunned: "He's back?"
"Yes, Siyan and Sixu also came back with us."
Gu Wanqiu originally thought that she might never see Si Yan and Si Xu again until her death in this life.
Gu Wanqiu lowered her head and looked at the iron chain on her feet.
Si Yan and Si Xu came here, obviously they already knew that Li Jinxing had found her.
Do they know that she is now imprisoned by Li Jinxing?
Gu Wanqiu endured the headache and remembered what He Tian had said before. If Li Jinxing refused to let her go, then he could only ask the two children for help.
In order to achieve his goal and put a perfect end to this matter, he didn't mind using some tricks to involve the two children.
He had no choice.
So, Si Yan and Si Xu suddenly came here. Did He Tian have anything to do with it?
If so, she would be able to leave here soon.
Gu Wanqiu looked up and saw the birds flying outside the window.
Downstairs, Li Jinxing and his two children had already entered the house. Although they had returned to their own home, they acted uneasy after entering, looking around cautiously.
"Let's go see your sister first." Li Jinxing walked into the nursery, holding a child in each hand. Little Gu Sui was sleeping at this time, with a little saliva on the corner of his mouth. He was sleeping in the crib. He might be dreaming, and his little hands and feet moved from time to time.
The weather has been hot recently, and she was only covered with a very thin blanket. Her little hands and feet were exposed, and they were pink.
Siyan and Sixu stood on each side, and Siyan even touched her sister's little hand out of curiosity.
When his fingers reached out to touch her palm, Gu Sui suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand.
"Dad, look, my sister grabbed my hand." Si Yan lowered his voice and tried hard to suppress his excitement.
"Yeah, I see."
Sixu: "My sister is such a small ball."
"She is still sleeping now. When she wakes up, she will be able to play with you. Do you want to go see your mother now?" Li Jinxing asked.
"Okay, let's go see mom." Si Yan Si Xu put the backpack in the baby room.
"Will Mom be happy to see us? Will she be unhappy?"
"She should be willing... What would you do if she was unhappy? Would you get angry with her?"
Si Yan and Si Xu shook their heads together: "No, we won't be angry with mom?"
"Why aren't you mad at her? If she said something nasty to you, got angry at you, or was mean to you, wouldn't you blame her at all?"
Siyan and Sixu continued to shake their heads, their eyes clear.
"Why?" Li Jinxing asked.
Why else could she be so angry? Of course, "She's our mother. The teacher said that giving birth is a life-threatening experience for a mother. It's very painful. She endured the pain and gave birth to me and my brother. She gave us life. How could I blame her?"
"Even though she once abandoned you and left without looking back, you still loved her?"
Si Yan and Si Xu fell silent together. In fact, they felt a little resentful about Gu Wanqiu leaving, but that was in the past. They would not resent or hate someone for a long time. Resentment was too tiring... Instead of remembering the bad things about others, they would rather remember the good things, the things that Gu Wanqiu had done with them, watching TV together, flying kites together, going to the amusement park together, listening to stories together, and the plush bears she bought for them.
Remember this, and they won't blame her.
On several occasions, Li Jinxing almost told the truth.
——You are not her children. Gu Wanqiu only gave birth to one child, Gu Sui.
This truth may be a bit cruel for children.
One day Siyan and Sixu will know the truth, but not now.
"Dad, please stop blaming Mom, okay? It's tiring to blame someone. Mom is not happy here. Let's find a way to make her happy. Maybe she'll stay here."
"It's useless." Li Jinxing said with a mocking look on his face, "After so many months, don't you understand? I've done enough, but she still chose to leave."
"Then... let her leave."
"Are you willing to do that?"
"I'm reluctant to let her go, but she's unhappy. In comparison, I like a happy mother who loves us and is willing to be with us. If she becomes unhappy and no longer wants to be nice to me and my brother, then I won't force her to stay here. If I let her go, I can still keep a good memory. If I lock my mother up here for a long time, she will change..."
By then, even the good memories of the past may be completely consumed.
Siyan doesn't want to become like this, and hopes that his father can understand that some beautiful things are only suitable to be kept in the heart.
You have to understand what you really want. What he and his brother want is a mother who loves them, not an unhappy wooden man.
Dad, do you understand?
Si Yan looked up at Li Jinxing and saw that he had a sullen face, and his facial expression seemed to be covered by a layer of fog, making it impossible to see his true emotions.
When they reached the door of the room, Siyan and Sixu stopped. As long as they went in, they would be able to see their mother.
Haven't seen you for two months?
What changes will happen in two months?
Is the mother in the room still the mother they remember?
Li Jinxing gently pushed them and said, "Come in, we're already here."
The iron chain on Gu Wanqiu's feet had not been untied and was dragging on the ground. She sat on the edge of the bed, opened the window and looked outside. A summer breeze came in from outside, and the thin breeze was mixed with the warmth of summer.
Hearing the noise at the door, Gu Wanqiu turned his head to look over.
"Mom..." The mother and her two children looked at each other from a distance. Finally, the two children spoke first. This voice contained too many emotions, including longing, temptation, and timidity.
"Why are you here?" Gu Wanqiu looked at them with a pair of dull eyes.
It's obviously the same person, but for some reason I feel like he has become a stranger, like a different person.
