"Your name isn't Gu Xiaoran, your name is He Jinran, you're my son, you're my son!"
By the end, He Lin had become somewhat agitated, and his emotions were unstable.
Gu Qian held his wrist firmly.
Gu Qian: "Calm down!"
"No!" Gu Xiaoran forcefully pushed away the almost deranged man.
"I have a father!"
"He Jinran, I am your father, I am the Emperor!" Because of Gu Xiaoran's actions, He Lin's wound tore open, and blood seeped out again, but he did not feel any pain at all.
"No, I'm not He Jinran!" Gu Xiaoran covered his ears with both hands; he didn't want to hear it.
He didn't want to hear this man speak at all.
Seeing this, Gu Qian stood in front of Gu Xiaoran.
"Your Majesty, please don't do this."
"Gu Qian, move aside!" He Lin felt heartbroken every time he heard Gu Xiaoran's affectionate way of addressing Gu Qian.
He was even somewhat jealous of Gu Qian.
However, he also thanked Gu Qian.
Taking advantage of the moment, he grabbed Gu Xiaoran's arm.
"Jin'er, forgive your father. Your father will make up for what he has done to you."
"No, please don't be so nice to me. I can't accept it. I really can't accept it."
Gu Xiaoran's voice was unsteady.
He was on the verge of a breakdown.
As clever as Gu Xiaoran was, he had already figured it out: it was precisely because He Lin was too obsessed with him that he brought about his own demise.
It was him who nearly caused his death at the hands of the assassin.
However, He Lin remained obsessive, saying, "You are my and Shu'er's child, you are our child."
All Shu'er left him was this child.
"Just let me go, and announce to the world that I'm dead," Gu Xiaoran said resolutely.
"He Lin, don't force him!" Gu Qian was anxious. Xiao Ran was very stubborn, rebellious, and single-minded.
And He Lin was the same.
"Shut up!" He Lin whispered, his gaze fixed on Gu Xiaoran's deliberately evasive eyes.
"Jin'er, please don't do this, okay?"
"I don't want to be a prince, I just want to be my father's son," Gu Xiaoran pleaded.
"He Jinran, your father went through so much trouble to get the throne. Are you just going to settle for mediocrity?" He Lin suddenly said, sounding disappointed in him.
"I am not you. I am mediocre, timid, and cowardly. I don't want to be successful." Gu Xiaoran shook her head violently and roared.
"I just want to be my father's and mother's son."
He admitted that he was just like that, hopeless and incapable of any real progress.
“Jin’er, you’ll get used to it eventually…” Even though Gu Xiaoran was shouting herself hoarse, He Lin still showed no sign of giving in.
He stepped forward and tried to pull Gu Xiaoran's elbow again, but Gu Xiaoran dodged back in a panic.
"No, Your Majesty, I beg you, please spare me!" Gu Xiaoran felt dizzy.
"mother!"
Tears streamed down his face.
He feared that one day he would no longer be his father's and mother's child.
"Father..." Gu Xiaoran hid behind Gu Qian, and Gu Qian also blocked He Lin effectively.
"His Majesty!"
"Gu Qian, get out of the way!"
"Xiao Ran." Qiu Yan rushed into the bedroom and hugged Gu Xiao Ran. "Mother's here."
“Mother…” Gu Xiaoran’s eyes were filled with tears. Feeling his mother’s embrace, he choked up.
Qiu Yan wiped away Gu Xiaoran's tears and pulled him out of the room.
He Lin took off to chase after him, but Gu Qian stopped him by waving his hand.
"Get out of the way!"
Gu Qian wouldn't let him go, and forcibly pulled him to the bedside and made him lie down.
"Xiao Ran is still a child."
Upon hearing the word "child," He Lin miraculously calmed down.
