When Mu Xiaocheng guessed correctly, Lou Quzheng coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.
"Yes, I do love your mother, and I haven't let her go even now."
He had always hated Mu Heng because it was Mu Heng who had taken Qing Ning away from him.
Clearly, he was the one who met her first.
He hated Mu Heng's righteous and hypocritical appearance.
But Qing Ning loved him so much.
When Mu Xiaocheng heard Lou Quzheng say this, her first reaction was surprise.
Even after all this time, Lou Quzheng still loves his mother. Just how deep is that affection?
Mom probably doesn't know that after all this time, there's still someone who loves her as much as ever.
She never expected that Lou Quzheng would be such a devoted person.
Mu Heng looked at Lou Quzheng, his eyes narrowed slightly, unconsciously revealing a strong sense of hostility.
Perhaps this is a bodily instinctive reaction.
"Don't look at me like that, or I'll think you want to fight me."
Lou Quzheng said somewhat arrogantly, "Of course, if you want to fight, I'm happy to oblige."
Hearing him say that, and seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Mu Xiaocheng quickly said, "Uncle Lou, let's talk about serious matters first, and then we can fight."
Anyway, according to Chi Yan, Old Man Mu is very skilled, and she has never seen it before. It wouldn't hurt to see it for herself today.
Lou Quzheng looked away, leaned back on the sofa, lowered his eyes, and said casually, "When I met Qing Ning, she was only twenty years old and the precious daughter of the Meng family in Yundu. She was very gentle and liked to paint."
"I ran into some trouble in my business at the time, and was chased by my enemies. I was injured and had no choice but to flee from the border to Yundu."
“At the time, she was a student in the Fine Arts Department of Yundu University. After we met, she not only lent me money to tide me over, but also let me hide in the Meng family and let Grandpa Meng treat my injuries.”
"Your mother is a very kind woman. Her social circle is very clean, unlike those women in high society nowadays."
"After spending some time together, I thought she liked me too."
"Until later, Mu Heng appeared."
"It shattered all my illusions."
"They fell in love. I don't know if it was because of Mu Heng's face or his hypocritical appearance, but anyway, at that time, I was really unwilling."
"But even though I'm unwilling, there's nothing I can do, because your mother chose him."
Lou Quzheng stopped there.
He looked intently at Mu Heng.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he continued, "But, after being with her for so long, you've never told her your true identity, just because of your damn confidential rules."
"Because of a mission, you resolutely chose to leave her, who was six months pregnant, and embark on a path that you yourself were not sure you could return from."
Mu Heng listened to Lou Quzheng's words, each word like a needle piercing his heart.
Even breathing hurts.
Lou Quzheng lowered his eyes and continued, "When her due date was approaching, Mu Heng still hadn't returned, and there was no news of him."
“When I went to see her, she was still naively telling me that Mu Heng had promised her he would come back to be there for their daughter’s birth.”
"Ha, until you were born, there was still no news of Mu Heng."
"She wasn't angry at all, and even smiled and asked me to give you a name."
