Guoguo shook her head and corrected, "It's not Xia Mama, it's Xia Auntie. Daddy said Guoguo has a mommy~"
Xia Bingqing: "..."
That little bastard!
"Yes, Guoguo is right. Then... then Aunt Xia, say goodbye to Guoguo, and we'll meet at home, okay?"
"Okay, goodbye Aunt Xia."
Guoguo waved goodbye to Xia Bingqing sensibly. The latter forced a smile and said gently, "Goodbye Guoguo, goodbye Xun-gege."
Mu Nanxun and Guoguo, one big and one small, got into the car.
The forced smile on Xia Bingqing's face gradually faded, and her expression grew increasingly grim.
It's been three years, three whole years.
For the past three years, she had devoted herself to caring for the little one, hoping to replace that wretched woman in their hearts as soon as possible. Mu Nanxun doted on Guoguo; if she wanted the stars in the sky, he would do everything he could to give her. Therefore, she knew long ago that to win Mu Nanxun's heart, she had to first gain the little one's approval.
No matter what she did, the little thing was always polite to her, but never affectionate. So, Xun-gege's attitude towards her was always polite yet distant.
That little bitch Yi Yi has been dead for three years, but she still lives on in their hearts. She refuses to believe she can't win against a dead person!
After driving away for a while, Xiao Fang could still see Xia Bingqing standing there with a mournful expression in the rearview mirror.
After thinking about it, Xiao Fang felt that as the boss's most capable subordinate, it was necessary to remind him.
"Boss, you're being incredibly heartless. Miss Xia wanted to go home with you. But you just said there wasn't enough room, which is clearly an excuse. And a very lame one at that."
Mu Nanxun remained silent; he had never been a talkative person to begin with. Since the fire three years ago, he had become even more taciturn. Except when he was with Guoguo, he could remain completely silent in front of others, ignoring their words.
He is teaching Guoguo to read. Although Guoguo is only three years old, she is very smart and already recognizes quite a few characters.
Today, Mu Nanxun taught her the character "伊".
"The one I long for is on the other side of the water."
Mu Nanxun silently read it aloud, while carefully writing the character "伊" (Yi) stroke by stroke on the paper.
Guoguo looked up, blinked, tilted her head, and asked, "Daddy, what does that mean? Guoguo doesn't understand."
Upon hearing this, Mu Nanxun looked out the car window, his thoughts drifting far away. After a long while, he spoke quietly, his voice indifferent.
"The so-called beauty is on the other side of the water" means that the person you miss is not by your side, but far away.
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and fell silent, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes.
The "beloved one" in the poem is only in the distance, so at least there is hope. But the person in his heart is forever separated from him, and there will never be a day when they meet again.
Since the fire three years ago, his heart had been burned to ashes along with it. More than once, he had wanted to give up everything he had and go find her. But every time he saw Guoguo, who bore a resemblance to Yi Yi, he couldn't bear to abandon her.
Guoguo pouted, said "Oh," and nodded as if she understood.
My dad is always like this; he gets lost in thought every now and then, and it's like he doesn't hear me when I call him. Grandma Li at home says that Daddy misses Mommy, and she misses Mommy too; she often dreams about Mommy when she sleeps at night.
