Chapter 200 Heartache
The two of them cried very loudly, and their tears kept falling like they were free, which made Shen Hechuan's heart break.
He kept circling around the two of them, at a loss, and kept asking them what had happened.
However, both of them were busy crying and ignored him.
By the time the two were tired of crying, Chen Hechuan was also tired of asking.
He sat on one side, listening quietly to the conversation between the two. The more he listened, the deeper his frown became.
"Mother, Xier didn't mean to hide the truth from you. She was just scared."
"I'm afraid that after I tell my mother, I'll never see her again."
Gu Jingchun looked at Gu Jinxi's worried eyes, and his heart ached. He quickly wiped his tears and said, "Have you forgotten what your mother told you?"
"No matter what, mother will never abandon you. So, if you are wronged in the future, you must tell mother, okay?"
Gu Jinxi nodded.
Then he whispered, "But Xier is afraid it will affect mother."
"Xier knows that mother is doing something very important. Xier is young and can't help mother at all. She will only be a burden to mother. Xier doesn't want to be a burden to mother."
When Gu Jingchun heard this, his heart ached even more, and he felt guilty. It was all his fault that he had been so focused on revenge during this period that he ignored Gu Jinxi's feelings.
She should have thought of it earlier. This child has been precocious since childhood.
Because she had little company, he had been well-behaved and sensible since childhood, but she took this well-behaved and sensible behavior for granted and neglected to comfort him.
This made her very regretful, and she quickly explained: "Xier, you can't think like that."
"Mother is busy with all this, and everything she does is for you, and for your better life in the future."
"In my mother's opinion, nothing is more important than you.
Compared to all kinds of troubles and things, mother hopes that you can be happy, do you understand?"
Gu Jinxi nodded.
But Gu Jingchun knew that once his character was formed, it could not be changed overnight.
However, Gu Jinxi had never been like this before. Perhaps something else had happened during this period, so he asked again:
"Xi'er, mother hopes that you will remain the same as before. If there is anything, you must tell mother. Even if you are wronged, you will not have to endure it. You must do whatever you want. Do you understand?"
Gu Jinxi nodded, but then shook his head.
"no."
Gu Jinxi said, "Grandpa Emperor said that I am the eldest grandson of the Emperor. Unlike ordinary people, I cannot think about mother all the time, and I cannot stick to mother all the time."
"I should not show my emotions on my face. Even if I miss my mother, I can't show it.
This is the rule in the palace and also a means of protecting oneself.
Otherwise, if someone finds out, they'll take advantage of me and plot against me, which will affect my mother's safety."
Moreover, he also said.
If I can't do anything without my mother, I will inevitably be laughed at in the future, and my mother may even be expelled from the palace because of me."
After hearing this, Gu Jingchun finally understood why Gu Jinxi was like this. He sighed quickly and then glared at Chen Hechuan fiercely.
Chen Hechuan didn't expect that Gu Jinxi had actually started teaching these things in the past few days.
The first thing he felt was heartache and anger.
Facing Gu Jingchun, he felt even more guilty.
However, when he thought of his childhood self, he fell silent again.
After all, I went through the same thing when I was young.
As the crown prince, he cannot let others discover his preferences, nor can he show his emotions in front of others.
Even if I miss my mother, I can't show it.
Not only that, even if he went to find his mother, he would be driven out.
So, he could only secretly climb trees and crawl through dog holes just to see his mother.
But when facing his mother, he had to remain calm and not let anyone detect his thoughts at all.
This feeling made him feel very uncomfortable.
But later, as he grew up, he gradually got used to it.
I also understand that I should bury all my feelings deep in my heart.
If he hadn't met Gu Jingchun, he wouldn't have known that he would have such overwhelming emotions.
And now, looking at his son, he feels aggrieved because he can't see his mother.
He was even scolded by Gu Jingchun for seeing his mother but forcing himself not to show it.
He couldn't stop feeling heartbroken.
Therefore, when Gu Jingchun looked over, his first reaction was guilt and helplessness.
The reason why Gu Jingchun entered the palace was for his son.
Similarly, all the efforts she made over the years, and her avoidance of her relationship with Chen Hechuan, were just to make her son live a more comfortable life.
And now, she has made those who bullied her son pay the price.
His identity also gradually became known to the public.
However, it made his son so unhappy.
Gu Jingchun couldn't help but wipe away his own tears, then wiped away his son's tears, then looked into his eyes and asked him firmly.
"Gu Jinxi, mother asks you, do you like it here?"
"Do you like being your father's son?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinxi couldn't help but glance at Shen Hechuan.
When Shen Hechuan heard this, he immediately stood up.
He understood very well what Gu Jingchun meant.
She clearly wants to leave again!
How could this be possible? He had used all means to get this person into the palace, so how could he bear to let her go now?
Gu Jinxi looked at Chen Hechuan and nodded slowly.
"Um."
"Mother, I like Daddy. I have liked this Daddy from the very beginning. I liked him even when he was not yet my Daddy."
"Xier was very happy when she found out that he was her real father."
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan was completely relieved.
He couldn't help but take a step forward, holding Gu Jinxi in his arms, and said softly:
"Daddy's good son, Daddy likes you too. Don't worry, Daddy will definitely prepare candy for you again."
He whispered the last sentence into Gu Jinxi's ear to make sure Gu Jingchun didn't hear it, and then added: "This is a secret between the two of us!"
When Gu Jinxi heard this, her eyes lit up instantly. She winked at Chen Hechuan playfully and then nodded.
While the two were talking, Chen Hechuan handed a few pieces of candy to Gu Jinxi during the handshake.
Gu Jinxi felt the thing in his hand, and his face became more lively.
That's what a child looks like.
Chen Hechuan hasn't spoken to Gu Jinxi alone since her identity was exposed.
But the two of them worked together in perfect harmony, as if they had been together for years. Even Gu Jingchun couldn't help but sigh when he saw it.
After all, they are biological father and son.
The reaction between the two of them can't be faked.
