Gu Hecheng asked Xiao Kong dejectedly, "Why?"
Xiao Kong did not speak for a long time. Gu Hecheng and him sat on the lawn. It was noisy and noisy in the distance, but it was so quiet between them that they could almost hear the sound of the wind blowing through the grass.
"I haven't had a father since I was born." Xiao Kong lowered his head and choked with sobs. Finally, he said, "Actually, there was a time when I really wanted to know who my father was and why I didn't have a father."
"Then I finally understood a little when I met you and went to your house and saw how angry my mother was."
Xiao Kong turned to look at him. Gu Hecheng found that his heart was almost broken into pieces. He did not dare to look into Xiao Kong's resentful eyes.
"Until I met that woman." Xiao Kong thought of the woman who had painted his mother's picture beyond recognition and felt disgusted. "I finally understood why my mother didn't take me with her."
"Only now did I understand why my mother's gaze was so helpless every time it was time to go back, and why she would be so worried every time she received a call from me." Xiao Kong lowered his head, and big drops of tears fell onto the grass.
"My mother always pretended to be strong in front of others, but in fact, she often hid and cried. She cried even more than I did." Xiao Kong's voice sounded a little disdainful, but Gu Hecheng understood that Xiao Kong was full of love for Shen Qianqian.
Xiao Kong sniffled and looked up at Gu Hecheng. "Uncle, you didn't know that my mother liked to cry so much, right? Or maybe you never cared."
Xiao Kong's words made Gu Hecheng speechless. Everything he said hit his heart and made him regret it.
Gu Hecheng's eyes reddened. Many of the things he had done in the past were now being told by such a young child in such a serious manner. Only then did he realize that he had truly committed a crime. He finally understood why Shen Qianqian refused to forgive him.
"Xiao Kong." Gu Hecheng got up and was about to pull Xiao Kong. However, Xiao Kong avoided him this time.
"Uncle, my mother and I are very happy now. Since my mother doesn't want to tell Xiao Kong who my father is, then I don't want to know either. I hope you won't make things difficult for my mother, okay?"
Xiao Kong looked at him with his clear eyes, but it made Gu Hecheng's heart ache so much that he couldn't breathe. He stretched out his hand but didn't dare to touch Xiao Kong's head. When Xiao Kong's eyes finally turned cold and he was about to leave, Gu Hecheng mustered up his courage and stopped him.
"Xiao Kong, don't worry. What you're worried about won't happen. However, I like your mother. From today onwards, I'll never let go of both of you. I'll make your mother accept me, but can you help me?"
Gu Hecheng looked at Xiao Kong expectantly. However, he could only look at Xiao Kong in disappointment. He just stood there in silence for a moment. He didn't even turn his head and walked away.
Just as Gu Hecheng lowered his head in disappointment and was about to walk away, Xiao Kong suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned around and said loudly to Gu Hecheng, "Then I'll have to see if you're sincere. If you make my mother sad again this time, I won't trust you anymore."
Gu Hecheng looked up in surprise. Xiao Kong made a face at him and then ran away.
Gu Hecheng watched Xiao Kong run away. He was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and left with tears of joy.
At night, Xiao Kong ate his rice in silence. He stole glances at Shen Qianqian from time to time.
Shen Qianqian was not in the right state, so she didn't notice. After a long time, Xiao Kong finally asked tentatively, "Mom, did you watch the video of the football match today? And the video of the award ceremony. I was there."
"Oh, I watched it. Xiao Kong did a great job." Shen Qianqian answered casually. Seeing her put down her bowl, Xiao Kong immediately put down his bowl and said, "Mom, are you tired today? Why don't you rest early? Actually, I can play with Grandma Liu for a while."
Shen Qianqian sighed. She felt that she was not in a good mood today. She felt sorry for Xiao Kong. She hugged him and said, "Okay. Don't be naughty."
Xiao Kong nodded and patted his chest. He promised Shen Qianqian, "Mom, don't worry. I won't."
Xiao Kong stretched his neck. After seeing Shen Qianqian close the door, he immediately called out to Mother Liu carefully, "Grandma Liu, come here. I have something to tell you."
Mother Liu was doing housework in the kitchen. When she heard Xiao Kong calling her, she quickly wiped her hands and walked over. She saw him holding her hand mysteriously and was about to walk into her room. She was puzzled and asked, "Xiao Kong, what's wrong with you today? Did you do something bad behind my back?"
Xiao Kong shook his head. "No."
"Grandma Liu, I have something important to discuss with you." Xiao Kong held Mother Liu's hand tightly. He pushed open the door and locked it. He said to Mother Liu, "I'll tell you a secret."
Mother Liu squatted down in confusion and kept the same height as Xiao Kong. Xiao Kong wanted to say it directly, but he was afraid that someone would eavesdrop, so he chose to whisper in her ear for a while.
Mother Liu, who was squatting down, had a variety of expressions. In the end, she looked at Xiao Kong in disbelief and said, "Did you really say that?"
"Yes!" Xiao Kong said firmly, "I know that Mom was hurt in the past, but I think only Uncle Long Legs can untie the knot in Mom's heart."
"Besides, I can see that Uncle Long Legs is sincere now," Xiao Kong thought for a while and said, as if he was afraid that Mother Liu would not believe him, "He even cried today."
"Cried?" Mother Liu was surprised. If Gu Hecheng really cried, it seemed that he really regretted it.
Mother Liu suddenly felt happy when she thought of this, so she said to Xiao Kong, "Have you thought about what to do?"
"Grandma Liu, do you mean that you're on our side?" Xiao Kong looked at her with his big eyes.
"Aiyo, you're really a clever little devil." Mother Liu gently tapped Xiao Kong's head, then sat down on the chair and pulled Xiao Kong in front of her. She said seriously, "In fact, although the past is a little … your Uncle Long Legs also misunderstood your mother."
"But it's good that you can recognize this problem now," Mother Liu sighed. "But this matter can't be rushed. I can't support you on the surface, but I can understand your mother's thoughts as soon as possible and then inform you, okay?"
"Okay, okay." Xiao Kong showed his childish side because he was happy. After that, the two of them discussed for a long time and finalized a few plans. Xiao Kong then quietly returned to the room.
Three days later, Shen Qianqian, who was reading the script of a new movie at home, suddenly received a call from a cake shop.
"Why is it you?" Shen Qianqian took the phone from Mother Liu. Originally, it said that a cake shop was calling, but she didn't expect that when she picked up, it was Gu Hecheng.
Shen Qianqian's fragile nerves suddenly became sensitive. She stood up abruptly, feeling that her heart was in her throat.
"Gu Hecheng, I told you not to get close to Xiao Kong. What do you want?" Shen Qianqian's cold words made Auntie Liu hold her breath as she turned around to leave. However, she didn't dare to expose herself in front of Shen Qianqian, so she could only go downstairs and look up from time to time as she made the dumplings.
About ten minutes later, Shen Qianqian ran out with her coat and bag. "Mother Liu, I'm going out."
"Okay." Before Auntie Liu could finish her sentence, Shen Qianqian had already run out of the room. Auntie Liu was delighted when she saw how anxious Shen Qianqian was.
Shen Qianqian ran all the way to the cake shop with her sunglasses on. This cake shop was very high-end and had a private and secret room. After she arrived, she realized that she didn't ask for Gu Hecheng's specific address. She could only call him again anxiously.
"Where are you?" Shen Qianqian looked up as she spoke. When she finally found the place that Gu Hecheng said, she reached out to push the door open. However, she froze when her hand landed on the doorknob.
Although blood ties did exist, Shen Qianqian didn't expect that Xiao Kong would like Gu Hecheng so much from the beginning.
Feeling nervous, Shen Qianqian pushed the door open. "Gu Hecheng!"
Xiao Kong and Gu Hecheng, who were happily making cakes, suddenly looked up. Shen Qianqian looked at Xiao Kong's face, which was smeared with cream. He looked very serious and happy as he made cakes. She didn't know what to say.
Shen Qianqian twitched the corners of her mouth unnaturally. Then she smiled at Xiao Kong and said, "Have fun first. I have something to say to Uncle."
Gu Hecheng looked at her innocently. Shen Qianqian was speechless. She could only go forward and grab Gu Hecheng's wrist to drag him away.
Shen Qianqian left the room and walked two steps. She saw that there was another room that wasn't closed. She pushed the door open and walked in.
"Gu Hecheng, what do you mean? Did you tell Xiao Kong?" Shen Qianqian felt as if her heart was being roasted on fire. She was afraid of what Gu Hecheng would say next.
Gu Hecheng looked at Shen Qianqian's worried eyes. He stopped smiling and hesitated for a moment. Although he almost told the truth, he remembered his plan with Xiao Kong. He could only continue to hide it. "No, I haven't told Xiao Kong."
"Then why did you call me? You …" Shen Qianqian suspected that things weren't that simple. However, Gu Hecheng smiled and said, "But Xiao Kong told me voluntarily."
Gu Hecheng looked at Shen Qianqian with a smile. Shen Qianqian didn't say anything. He asked, "So what are you going to do now? Are you going to go in and take him away directly?"
