Chapter 2372: The Age of Not Knowing Moderation
My father was silent for a while, with a complicated expression on his face, as if it was a memory that was both bitter and sweet.
After a while, his father said to Gu Hanye, "When Xiao Chongyang comes back, he will go straight to your mother and tell her everything I did to him back then."
"Mother won't forgive you easily..."
"Of course not. I was at the company at the time, and she called me home. She repeated what Xiao Chongyang said, and then asked me if I really did it. I didn't deny it. She was very angry and wanted to divorce me. I asked her, after the divorce, would you marry Xiao Chongyang? Your mother had a cold face and said it was none of your business, then she started packing her bags... Your mother is usually very gentle, but when she gets angry, she can be very fierce."
"That's true..."
In Gu Hanye's childhood memory, his mother rarely lost her temper and was always gentle, but whenever his mother got angry, he and his father dared not say a word.
The father sighed helplessly, "Anyway, your mother said she would never live with me anyway."
"And then?"
Although Gu Hanye knew that his parents did not divorce in the end, he still felt worried for them when he heard his father say this.
My father said, "My assistant just called to confirm our sea trip. Your mother and I had originally planned to go on the sea for a few days. I told my assistant on the phone that everything was as planned and we would go as planned. When your mother heard this, she said, 'Do you think I'd go with you after I knew all this?' I said, 'If you don't want to go, I'll go by myself.' Your mother said, 'It's up to you!'"
Gu Hanye remembered that his grandmother said that his parents went out to sea for a month and got pregnant with him after they came back. He felt that his grandmother was talking about this time.
"But you ended up going out to sea together."
The father nodded and said that he was also very angry that day. He thought that after three years of getting along, Han Ye’s mother had gradually fallen in love with him.
Although they had never slept together at that time, their relationship was heating up. She would call his name when she had nightmares at night, and she would also be jealous when he had beautiful female employees around him.
But after meeting Xiao Chongyang, everything seemed to be back to square one, so he was very angry and a little out of control.
As my mother packed her luggage and walked out the door, my father grabbed her luggage, opened the suitcase, and scattered her things all over the floor.
She simply left her luggage behind and strode out.
My father grabbed my mother's wrist and locked the door...
My father stopped talking here.
Gu Hanye subconsciously asked, "And then?"
His father looked at him and asked, "What do you think?"
“…”
Gu Hanye was embarrassed for a moment, feeling as if his father had unexpectedly fed him a mouthful of dog food.
Gu Hanye felt like he was really talking too much. Actually, as his father had just said, he was very angry and his behavior was a little out of control. In such a situation, it goes without saying what a man, out of jealousy and possessiveness, would do to the woman he loves...
He cleared his throat and was about to skip this part and let his father continue, but his father actually told him...
My father must have been very happy when he told this story, because there was a light in his eyes.
Gu Hanye decided to shut up and be a quiet listener.
"Then I kissed your mother, and she slapped me and called me a bastard. I said I was a bastard. Your mother then called me despicable and shameless. I was thick-skinned at the time and said I was despicable and shameless. Did you only realize it today? Your mother's face turned red with anger, but she only knew a few curse words. In the end, she ran out of words and called me a big liar, asking me what else I had lied to her about! I had no choice but to tell her that my love for her was real."
The father smiled helplessly, "Isn't it corny?"
Gu Hanye scratched his brow, "Not bad..."
These conversations seemed familiar. He remembered that Jiuyao seemed to have scolded him like this before, and he seemed to have responded in the same shameless way.
I used to wonder where my rogue and scoundrel nature came from, but now I've found the root...
"What happened next?" Gu Hanye asked again.
The father frowned and said, "You are thirty years old, not thirteen. Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?"
"Yeah... I understand. I mean, the next day..."
Of course he knew that this was what his father meant by "half-heartedly agreeing". He wanted to ask, what happened afterwards? Did the two of them reconcile?
His father understood what he meant and said, "The next day, your mother woke up in the afternoon. I asked her if she wanted to go to the sea to watch the sunrise. She glared at me, got out of bed and started packing. I asked her why she was leaving, and she said in a bad mood, 'We're going to be at sea for several days, so don't I have to bring some changes of clothes?'"
Gu Hanye could imagine how happy his father was at that time.
Because after so many years, when my father recalls that period of time, his eyes are bright.
But if this happiness had continued, there would be no subsequent story.
What happened next? Why did the relationship fray again? And under what circumstances did his father order the paternity test? Gu Hanye still had many questions in his mind.
"Xiao Chongyang shouldn't have given up just like that, right?" Gu Hanye asked.
My father nodded. "After that, your mother and I went on vacation at sea. We boarded a giant cruise ship. We were joined by our good friends, some celebrities and nobles of the time, and even Xiao Chongyang's spies...
"At the time, Xiao Chongyang was busy with some matters and couldn't go on board in person, so he sent his spies over.
"There were various parties on the cruise ship every day, but your mother and I spent most of our time in our suite, just like any newlywed couple... Of course, there were times when we weren't in the room, when I would take her dancing or fishing on the lower deck."
Gu Hanye found it unbelievable when he heard these things. His strict father and dignified mother had actually been so crazy at one time.
Actually, if you think about it, when my parents were together, they were only in their twenties. They were young and energetic, and it was the age when they didn't know what moderation was.
But when I think that I came into this world at that time, I feel it is very wonderful.
"But you two were together, Xiao Chongyang's spies must have seen it."
"Yes, that person reported everything to Xiao Chongyang. Xiao Chongyang finally lost his patience, put aside everything, and took a speedboat to the ship, wanting to take your mother away. But your mother refused him and hoped that he could let go of the past feelings because they were no longer possible. Xiao Chongyang asked why, and your mother said, because she was pregnant. It was only then that I found out that she had been pregnant for more than 20 days..."
My father paused, opened the cigarette box and took out a cigarette.
Gu Hanye opened his lighter, lit one for his father, and also lit one for himself.
He had never smoked with his father before, and his father had quit smoking a long time ago, but from the time he came to the study until now, there were already several cigarette butts piled in the ashtray in front of him and his son.
His father took a puff of his cigarette and said to him, "To be honest, I think I was conceived when I first arrived on the ship."
