Chapter 140 The Intellectual Battle Between Father and Son
Kong Chi opened the bag and saw Lego puzzles, flying machines, frisbees... all things that children like to play with.
Although he had lost much interest in these things, seeing Murong Ting's expectant face, he still considerately said, "I like it."
After all, this was the first time Daddy had clearly known of his existence and had given him this gift.
He would like any gift, no matter what it was.
Murong Ting asked softly and cautiously, "Xiao Chi, can you call me Daddy?"
"Daddy," Kong Chi whispered. Although he had called him that countless times before while pretending to be his younger brother, this time it was undoubtedly the most genuine.
"Mm." Murong Ting's eyes involuntarily reddened: "As long as you like them, Daddy will buy you these things again in the future."
Kong Chi reached out her little hand and touched his face: "Daddy, don't cry. Mommy said that men bleed and sweat, but don't cry!"
Murong Ting took a deep breath and pulled Kong Chi into his arms.
"Daddy, does your wound still hurt? Thank you for saving me today." Kong Chi rested his chin on the man's shoulder and said earnestly into his ear.
"Daddy's alright. You're my son. It's only right that Daddy saves you when you're in danger. You don't need to thank Daddy anymore, okay?"
Kong Chi nodded.
He never expected that his father would kneel down and even stab himself to save him.
These actions deeply moved him.
Murong Ting also had many thoughts in his mind.
It must be said that Kong Wange has actually raised her child very well.
Although he didn't have his father's company, Xiao Chi still grew into a considerate, kind, and grateful young man.
The two hugged for a long time before separating.
After calming down considerably, Murong Ting got up, carried Kong Chi to a nearby bench, and sat down next to him.
"Xiao Chi, I'm sorry for missing out on your childhood. I'll make it up to you in the future. Would you like to come back and live with me and your brother?" Murong Ting asked.
Kong Chi paused slightly, then frowned: "Daddy, you lied. Didn't you say we'd talk about me after Mommy recovered?"
Murong Ting, feeling awkward after being exposed, said, "We were just having a casual chat. Daddy wanted to ask for your opinion first."
Kong Chi jumped off the chair warily and said seriously, "Daddy, although I love you, I love Mommy even more. Unless Mommy agrees, I will not betray her and go live with you."
Murong Ting was taken aback at first, then said with a headache, "Xiao Chi, this can't be called betrayal, it's just..."
“Daddy, you don’t need to explain,” Kong Chi said matter-of-factly. “If you really want me, then go and beg Mommy for forgiveness. Until then, let’s keep a proper distance.”
"I know you love me, but I've seen all the scumbag behavior you've done to Mommy. Think about it carefully. Do you want to start over in front of Mommy? If not..."
He sighed, "Don't blame us for taking your brother with us!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran to find Xiao Chen and Kong Ran.
Murong Ting, left standing there: "..."
Looking at his son's merciless little back, he felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart, and his emotions were mixed.
Five years of absence is indeed a long time.
It seems that changing Xiao Chi's mind will be a long and arduous task...
Just then, the consultation room door was pushed open: "Who is Kong Wange's family member?"
Upon hearing the voice, Murong Ting took a deep breath, stood up, and walked over: "It is I."
Several people entered the examination room and immediately saw Kong Wange lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed.
Murong Ting was slightly taken aback: "Doctor, is her injury serious?"
The doctor patiently explained, "Don't worry, your wife's overall condition has stabilized, and the wound on her hand has been bandaged. She just suffered a significant shock and fell asleep from exhaustion. You can take her home now."
Hearing that she was just asleep, Murong Ting breathed a sigh of relief.
On the bed, Kong Wange's face was a little pale.
After falling asleep, her posture lacked her usual guardedness, instead revealing an unprecedented frailty.
Kong Chi nudged Murong Ting from the side: "Daddy, what are you standing there for? Pick up Mommy! Mommy finally got some rest, we can't wake her up, can we? Or are you expecting the three of us to carry her?"
Lin Cheng tugged at Kong Chi's clothes and said, "Young Master Chi, how can you talk to your father like that?"
Before he could finish speaking, Murong Ting gave him a cold look: "Who are you trying to smear? My son is right!"
After saying that, he bent down and picked up Kong Wange.
Lin Cheng: "?"
Young Master Ting, are you going to turn into a doting father in an instant?
...
Old house.
Kong Wange woke up groggily the next morning.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself back at the Murong family mansion after leaving the hospital.
The old man and his three children sat together on the small couch opposite, keeping watch.
Nearby, Ranbao's eyes lit up when she saw that she was awake, and she shook the old man's hand: "Great-Grandpa, Mommy's awake!"
Upon hearing this, the old man stepped forward, smiling broadly: "It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake, little Ge'er, you've suffered so much."
Kong Wange was taken aback. Ranbao and the old man seemed to get along very well.
Could it be... that not only Chi Bao, but the old man also knows Ran Bao's true background?
Before she could think, the children rushed over and hugged her, crying, "Mommy!"
She could only suppress her doubts, turn around and sit up to look at the children, and said gently, "My darlings, are you hurt?"
The children immediately shook their heads.
Chi Bao said dejectedly, "We weren't hurt. Only you and Daddy were hurt. It's all my fault for being so useless. That's why I got caught by the bad guys and put Mommy and Daddy in danger."
Kong Wange patted Kong Chi's head: "Chi Bao, don't say that. This isn't your fault. It's all the bad people's fault, okay?"
Kong Ran hugged Kong Wange's uninjured arm tightly: "Mommy, yesterday was so scary. I thought I would never see you again."
Murong Chen chimed in from the side, "Mommy, I've already discussed it with Sister Ran. I'll learn kung fu from her from now on, and I'll protect you if there are any bad guys again!"
Kong Wange smiled and said, "Alright, your sister Ran herself is still a novice, but it's good for you to learn some basic self-defense techniques to improve your health. Mommy will find you a teacher later."
Murong Chen nodded quickly.
The old man next to him stepped forward and asked, "Little Ge'er, how are you feeling now?"
Kong Wange: "Grandpa, I'm fine. At most, my hands are a little clumsy. I'm sorry to have worried you."
“It’s alright if your hands aren’t very nimble. Ah Ting will take care of you later,” he said kindly, explaining to his grandson. “It’s a pity that Ah Ting was called away by the police early this morning to cooperate with the questioning about this kidnapping case. Otherwise, that brat would be just like us, waiting by your bedside for you to wake up.”
Remembering that she seemed to have seen blood on him before he fainted, Kong Wange asked, "Is he alright?"
