Chapter 142 The Adorable Baby Discovers Daddy and Mommy's Secret
Murong Chen said guiltily, "Oh dear, what real secrets do we father and son have? I wrote in my diary to scold Daddy, and he found out the next day."
Kong Ran and Kong Chi: "..."
Then, Kong Chi asked, "Xiao Chen, do you know why Daddy hid a handkerchief in the study?"
Murong Chen sighed: "I only overheard bits and pieces, so I don't know if it's true or not. It seems that Daddy once had a woman he liked, and this handkerchief was left to him by that person."
Kong Ran and Kong Chi stared wide-eyed, exclaiming in unison, "What?"
"Daddy liked other people before?" Kong Ran asked incredulously.
Although embarrassed, Murong Chen nodded: "Before Daddy met Mommy, he met a beautiful aunt. That aunt helped Daddy heal his injuries, and Daddy fell in love with her at first sight."
He spoke softer and softer, feeling very melancholy.
Sigh, why isn't that person Mommy?
Kong Ran was furious upon hearing this: "If Uncle Scumbag has someone he likes, why did he still marry Mommy!"
She now understood why he always targeted her mother: because there was another woman in his heart!
Kong Chi frowned and said, "Xiao Chen, why didn't you tell me and my sister about something so important? If I had known that Daddy had someone in his heart, I would never have helped you get together with Daddy and Mommy."
Murong Chen said anxiously, "Brother Chi, Sister Ran, don't be angry. It was my fault. Please listen to my explanation. Actually, Daddy's feelings for that aunt are long gone."
Kong Ran was stunned: "Gone?"
Murong Chen nodded: "That aunt seems to have passed away at a young age. Daddy will never have her. I guess that's why what you can't have always haunts you, which is why Daddy always misses her."
Kong Ran was caught off guard and was momentarily speechless.
Beside him, Kong Chi seemed to be deep in thought: "Xiao Chen, you just said that the amulet Mommy embroidered looks a lot like the embroidery on the handkerchief Daddy hides in his study?"
Murong Chen nodded seriously: "That's right!"
Kong Ran frowned: "Xiao Chenchen, you just glanced at it casually, you couldn't have been mistaken, could you? Many amulets have patterns of flowers, plants, birds and insects embroidered on them."
Upon hearing this, Murong Chen also became somewhat uncertain: "Oh dear, is that so? I forgot the details of that flower, but I remember it was a very beautiful peony that was similar to this one. Shall I take you to see it again?"
Kong Ran's eyes lit up: "Can we go see it?"
Murong Chen chuckled and said, "We'll be quiet. Anyway, Daddy isn't home, so he won't know. Don't worry, I've sneaked into that study several times before, I know it well!"
"Okay, let's go now!"
She wanted to see who could match her mother's embroidery skills!
The three children sneaked in, avoiding the servants, and slipped into the study by pushing open the door.
Soon, Murong Chen easily found the small box on the antique shelf.
The box was the very one that Kong Wange had accidentally knocked over a few days ago.
Murong Chen waved to Kong Ran and Kong Chi, and the three little ones immediately squatted under the table and huddled together.
"Xiao Chenchen, quickly open it and let us see," Kong Ran urged.
Murong Chen opened the box in a few quick movements, and then opened the small cloth bag inside.
There was indeed a white handkerchief inside.
He carefully took it out and pointed to the peony at the bottom: "Ran-jie, Chi-ge, look, doesn't it look just like it?"
The handkerchief was embroidered with exquisite double-sided embroidery, featuring a red-crowned crane in the front and two koi carp in the back.
A delicate white peony is embroidered on the lower right corner of the handkerchief.
Kong Ran and Kong Chi went over to take a look.
After a moment, the two were astonished, and then exclaimed in unison, "Oh my, it's not just similar, this handkerchief was embroidered by Mommy!"
Murong Chen was stunned for a moment, then turned around with wide eyes: "Brother Chi and Sister Ran, what are you saying? Mommy embroidered this handkerchief?"
Kong Ran took it and looked at it repeatedly. After a while, she said with certainty, "That's right, this is Mommy's handiwork, especially the bottom. Mommy always has the habit of embroidering a white peony in the lower right corner of her embroidery. It's a six-stamen, double-layered, eight-petaled white peony. It's very special!"
Kong Chi added, "Apart from the embroidery, this handkerchief is exactly the same as the one Mommy embroidered for my sister, both in terms of the stitching and the choice of fabric. Xiao Chen, this handkerchief was definitely embroidered by Mommy."
After hearing what the two of them said, Murong Chen was even more confused: "But... isn't this handkerchief from Daddy's former sweetheart?"
Kong Chi stroked his chin: "What if Mommy was Daddy's sweetheart back then?"
Murong Chen: "?!"
Kong Ran turned his head and gave a thumbs up: "Little Chichi, you really dare to think big."
Kong Chi looked at Kong Ran: "Don't you think that makes a lot of sense? You're two years older than us, and you're Daddy and Mommy's biological child. What does that mean?"
Kong Ran reacted for a moment, then exclaimed, "That means Daddy and Mommy met before you two were born!"
Kong Chi nodded seriously: "That's right. Not only have we met, but it's also very likely that Daddy and Mommy were in love back then, otherwise they wouldn't have had my sister."
Kong Ran and Murong Chen were stunned.
After a long pause, Murong Chen asked, bewildered, "Then why did Daddy say his sweetheart is dead? Isn't Mommy right here?"
Kong Ran chimed in, "Yeah, and Uncle Zha's behavior clearly shows that he didn't recognize Mommy. He's always acting superior and sarcastic towards her. It makes me want to punch him. This isn't how you treat someone you love!"
Kong Chi shook his head: "As for the reason, I can't think of it either. Maybe there's some misunderstanding between them."
Murong Chen was stunned for a while, then his eyes lit up as he realized what was happening: "Brother Chi, you're right. There must be a misunderstanding between Daddy and Mommy, which is why they dislike each other."
Kong Chi nodded his little head: "Logically speaking, that's how it is."
Murong Chen exclaimed excitedly, "Does that mean that as long as we help Daddy and Mommy clear up their misunderstanding, they can make up?"
Kong Chi nodded again: "Yes, no problem!"
Murong Chen jumped up: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go tell Daddy the truth now!"
He was excited, but his older brother and sister, who were squatting on the ground, remained calm and composed.
He paused, then frowned slightly. "Brother Chi and Sister Ran, why aren't you reacting? I didn't lie to you this time. Daddy isn't a jerk. He loves Mommy. Don't you want Daddy and Mommy to get back together?"
Kong Chi sighed: "Xiao Chen, have you forgotten how Daddy reacted when we talked to him so many times back when he was looking for Chanyi?"
Murong Chen was stunned for a moment, then plopped back down: "Oh dear, how could I forget that? Daddy's not very bright, what if he doesn't believe us?"
