Chapter 108 Don't Forget What You Promised Me
After dinner, Xie Qingcen originally planned to talk about something with Ruan Liuzheng, but Fu Jingcheng was particularly clingy today.
As soon as he saw Xie Qingcen's movements, he hugged Xie Qingcen's thighs tightly, his big eyes like black grapes blinking, "Dad, please accompany me to do my homework."
He tilted his head back, his fair face showing a healthy flush, his voice soft with a hint of coquettishness.
The eyes are simple and innocent.
Xie Qingcen lowered his eyes, and his dark eyes quietly stared at the little kid in front of him who was not even as tall as his thigh.
A hint of helplessness flashed across Qingjun's eyebrows.
He reached out and gently pinched Fu Jingcheng's soft little face, his eyes were warm and doting, then he raised his eyes and looked at Ruan Liuzheng, his voice clear, "Shall we talk later?"
Ruan Liuzheng glanced at Fu Jingcheng beside his legs and nodded with a slight smile, "Yeah. I'll wait for you in the living room."
Xie Qingcen smiled and then took Fu Jingcheng to his room.
…
As soon as Fu Jingcheng entered the room, he quickly let go of Xie Qingcen's hand. He walked to the desk and sat on his small chair.
Then he raised his hand and pointed at the bed opposite, motioning Xie Qingcen to sit down.
Xie Qingcen raised his eyebrows slightly, his dark eyes quietly looked at Fu Jingcheng's tense face, and the corners of his thin lips rose uncontrollably.
He nodded, walked obediently to the bed and sat down, then raised his eyes to look at Fu Jingcheng, his voice clear, "What do you want from me?"
He did not put Fu Jingcheng on the child's side, but put Fu Jingcheng on the same level as him, with a calm and serious tone.
Fu Jingcheng pursed his lips, and his fair and tender face was serious, "Can you do it? Don't forget, you promised me from the beginning!"
As early as the first time he met Xie Qingcen and when Xie Qingcen expressed his feelings to Ruan Liuzheng, Fu Jingcheng approached Xie Qingcen in private and made three rules with him.
He helped Xie Qingcen create opportunities for him and Ruan Liuzheng, and Xie Qingcen had to help him and Ruan Liuzheng get rid of the entanglement of the Fu family after being with Ruan Liuzheng.
Help Ruan Liuzheng completely solve the trouble of the Fu family.
Thinking of the past, Fu Jingcheng's heart sank, his lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes like black grapes were deep, with a hint of dissatisfaction.
There is not a trace of innocence on the outside.
Xie Qingcen paused.
He seemed to remember something and suddenly chuckled twice, "I haven't forgotten. Don't worry, I won't let your mother be bullied again."
Upon hearing this, Fu Jingcheng snorted coldly, his dark eyes flashing with anger.
He opened his mouth and said, "But today that man still threatened my mother, and made my mother angry!"
"You haven't dealt with that man yet."
Fu Jingcheng's voice was serious, and his eyes, like black grapes, were full of fierceness.
His expression and demeanor don't look like that of a five-year-old child at all, but rather like that of an adult who has experienced the vicissitudes of life.
Xie Qingcen smiled faintly, he looked at Fu Jingcheng, a hint of admiration flashed across his dark eyes.
As expected of the descendant of Xie family, he is more ruthless and brave than Fu Yanci.
He stood up and walked forward, gently rubbing Fu Jingcheng's head, then slowly squatted down and put his eyes on the same level as Fu Jingcheng.
There was a hint of smile in his deep brows.
"Although I admire your ruthlessness, children should be more innocent and not think too much. Too much wisdom will lead to harm."
Fu Jingcheng turned his head uncooperatively and said seriously, "Don't change the subject. Believe it or not, I can ask my mother to change my father at any time!"
"You just need to promise me that the man will not appear in front of my mother and me again, and will not disturb my mother's life again!"
He stared at Xie Qingcen steadily, his voice solemn and serious.
Xie Qingcen was slightly startled.
He raised his eyelids, and a hint of helplessness flashed across his handsome face. "No matter what, he is your father in name only. Now we live in a society ruled by law. As long as you haven't grown up yet, he has the right to visit you in the legal sense."
"You want to isolate him from your life forever, but it's impossible. But... why do you always seek help from outsiders instead of choosing to trust your mother?"
Xie Qingcen changed the subject, a faint smile appeared in his dark eyes, and his eyes were soft.
"You should believe in your mother's ability. She is not a dodder who depends on men. Even if I have the ability to solve this problem, do you think your mother, with her personality, will be willing to accept my help?"
Fu Jingcheng said nothing.
He clenched his palms, and a rare flash of confusion appeared in his big eyes like black grapes.
After a long while, he frowned, a hint of fragility appeared on his pretty, fair and tender face, and he bit his lip and said, "But if my mother deals with that man, I'm worried that my mother will not be able to help but be soft-hearted."
"It took a lot of effort for Mom to make up her mind to give up and leave that big dye vat. I don't want Mom to go back and be bullied by those people."
It’s not that he doesn’t believe Ruan Liuzheng, but the experiences he had from childhood to adulthood were too real, making it impossible for him to believe Ruan Liuzheng anymore.
Even though Ruan Liuzheng has changed now and has promised him, he still doesn't dare to believe it completely.
It’s not that I doubt Ruan Liuzheng’s ability, but that I don’t dare to believe Ruan Liuzheng’s heart.
Looking at Fu Jingcheng's drooping eyebrows, Xie Qingcen sighed slightly. He stood up and gently held the slightly irritable little lion in front of him into his arms.
Fu Jingcheng noticed his behavior and his body stiffened involuntarily, then he struggled with a little effort.
But his insignificant strength was easily resolved by Xie Qingcen.
Xie Qingcen held Fu Jingcheng in his arms forcefully, his eyes and eyebrows softened a little, he opened his lips, his voice was low and clear, "You shouldn't doubt your mother, she is the closest person to you in this world. Fu Jingcheng, today I will tell you a truth."
Xie Qingcen forced Fu Jingcheng to look up without any objection. Although his movements were tough, the force was very gentle and did not hurt Fu Jingcheng at all.
Not even a red mark was left.
He said with a serious look, "In this world, there is no kindness without reason, nor is there malice without reason. Never put all your trust in others, because your trust may become a sharp arrow stabbing you, and in the end, it is always yourself who will be seriously hurt."
The truth was a bit profound, and Fu Jingcheng couldn't fully understand it for a while. He nestled in Xie Qingcen's arms, his black grape-like eyes slightly puzzled, but he caught the key point of Xie Qingcen's words.
He pursed his lips and said, "So when we first met, you didn't really promise me that you would take me home out of kindness?"
Xie Qingcen chuckled twice, changed his position to hug Fu Jingcheng, "Not entirely."
"But luckily, the person you met was me. But I am your mother's partner now, so I won't hurt you. But theoretically speaking, I also have selfish motives."
Fu Jingcheng frowned slightly, and looked at Xie Qingcen steadily with his big eyes like black grapes, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He didn't say anything, just waited quietly for Xie Qingcen's next words.
Xie Qingcen smiled softly, his dark eyes showing a hint of tenderness, "You may not be my biological child, but you are your mother's child. I love your mother, so I will love your mother as well."
"But you have to know that there is always a layer between you and me. If there is a time when I need to choose between you and your mother, I will choose your mother without hesitation."
After saying this, Xie Qingcen seemed to remember something, his eyes flickered slightly, and he continued, "But don't worry, except for the comparison with your mother, I will treat everything else fairly, and I will even be extra biased towards you."
"Even if your mother and I have other children in the future, this will never change."
Upon hearing this, Fu Jingcheng slowly tightened his palms. He just stared at Xie Qingcen and forgot to react for a moment.
Xie Qingcen was not in a hurry for his answer, knowing that it was a bit abrupt to bring up this matter now, but he would have to find out sooner or later.
As for Fu Jingcheng's psychological endurance? Xie Qingcen was not worried at all.
Because although Fu Jingcheng has the blood of the Fu family, his personality is completely like that of the Xie family.
He saw this when he first met Fu Jingcheng.
Xie Qingcen smiled gently. He put Fu Jingcheng down, lowered his head, and his dark eyes gradually became level with Fu Jingcheng. "As long as that man doesn't hurt your mother, I will let your mother deal with it herself."
"If things are really out of your mother's control, then I will never give that man a chance. But before that, please believe in your mother with me."
It should have been a question, but Xie Qingcen used an affirmative tone.
He looked straight into Fu Jingcheng's eyes, with an imperceptible tenderness and doting in his eyes.
Fu Jingcheng pursed his lips and nodded, "Okay, but don't forget what you promised me!"
He repeated it once more, his eyes like black grapes full of seriousness.
He didn't care how Xie Qingcen would treat him. The only thing he cared about was how Xie Qingcen treated Ruan Liuzheng.
That was the only thing he cared about.
Because when he was at the Fu family, Fu Jingcheng witnessed too many sad moments of Ruan Liuzheng. Although he was young at that time, the mother and son were connected by heart.
Sometimes, he could sense Ruan Liuzheng's mood.
Fu Jingcheng didn't want Ruan Liuzheng to live that kind of life again.
He clenched his palms and bit his lower lip subconsciously, his dark eyes slightly nervous.
However, he was still too young and didn't know how to hide his thoughts, and almost everything he was thinking was clearly shown on his face.
Xie Qingcen paused.
For some reason, a faint sense of discomfort arose in my heart.
He took a deep breath, reached out and hugged Fu Jingcheng, a faint light flashing in his dark eyes.
"Your future life will always be bright and glorious."
"This is my promise and my guarantee. It will never change and I will always keep it in my heart."
