Chapter 141:Finding Father
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Of course you’re not. You all have a father and mother!” Xu Qing’s heart ached. She tightened her grip on Xu Hanxue and couldn’t help but look down at her two sons! Seeing that their expressions weren’t good, she wished she could sew Old Madam Qian’s mouth shut.
“What about my father? Where is he? I want my father…” Xu finally couldn’t take it anymore and burst into tears. She leaned over her mother’s shoulder and refused to look up.
When Xu Tingdeng heard that his sister was crying more and more sadly, he became anxious. “Sister, don’t cry. Look, at my expression!” As Xu Tingdeng spoke, he kept raising his little head. One moment, he was pushing his nose, pretending to be a piglet, the next moment, he was pinching his ears, pretending to be a puppy.
“Sister, don’t cry. I will be your horse.” Xu Yuanguang’s face was also filled with heartache. He was a reserved child and rarely showed emotions, but only when facing his youngest sister would he act cute just to make his sister happy.
Perhaps it was because the contrast with his usual expression was too great, but every time, Xu Yuandeng coaxed his sister, his sister would stop crying and start to smile. However, this time, Xu Hanxue was still crying and her shoulders kept shaking.
Xu Qing’s heart ached. She wiped Xu Hanxue’s tears and said gently, “Don’t cry. I will take you to your father in a few days, okay?”
“Really? You’re not lying?” When Xu Hanxue heard this, she instantly stopped crying. Her tear-stained face was instantly filled with surprise. Even her two brothers beside her had excited expressions.
However, Xu Yuanguang’s excitement was different from his younger siblings’. He felt mixed emotions. His palms were clenched tightly, like he was preparing to attack! If he could really see his father, he would punch him first. He had to ask that man why he had abandoned his mother and sister. Why had he abandoned their family?!
Xu Qing had mixed feelings. She knew that the children missed their father, but they had always kept it in their hearts!
After Xu Qing finally coaxed the three children, she returned home. At this moment, the house was lively.
Because it was Xu Xiang’s birthday, Xu Huai and Xu Zhi had also returned.
“Little Qing, Hanxue’s eyes are red. Did she cry just now?” Qu Feng asked with a pained expression.
As soon as she said this, everyone finally noticed Xu Hanxue, who was lying on Xu Qing’s shoulder. Her eyes were red from crying. Everyone was anxious and wished they could fight the person who made her cry.
When Xu Hanxue heard this, she immediately straightened up from Xu Qing’s arms. Looking at the room full of people who were worried about her, she smiled and said, “I’m not crying! My eyes are uncomfortable from being blown by the wind just now. That’s why my eyes are red!” She wouldn’t admit that she was crying because she missed her father.
Xu Hanxue’s answer made Xu Qing’s heart ache. Her three children had been very sensible since they were young and knew how to comfort people. In the past, the children would also mention their father, but after they saw that she wasn’t in a good mood every time they did, they gradually understood and never mentioned him again!
But just now, when she was called a bastard, Xu Hanxue really couldn’t hold it in anymore. After all, she was still a three-year-old child. She cried out her longing for her father.
Seeing that Xu Hanxue was really fine, everyone was no longer worried.
Xu Hanxue looked around and realized that she didn’t see Xu Xiang. She asked softly, “Where’s Auntie? When are we eating the birthday cake?” She liked desserts very much, but because her mother was very strict, she could only eat one piece every time it was someone’s birthday.
Then, a delicate voice said, “Who’s thinking of me?”
They saw a girl dressed in pale pink, and her pretty face had a bright smile! Behind her, there was a tall guy. The guy was a little tanned. It was obvious that he had been out and about all year round. He looked calm and aloof. His eyes were piercing and his nose was high. But when he looked at the girl in front of him, there was a hint of affection.
This person was Xu Sizhi. That stubborn youth had also grown up.
Xun Fen and Teng Nian had come with Xu Sizhi. Over the past two years, they had changed a little. The murderous aura on their bodies had faded a lot. Xun Fen was no longer a rash little girl who always wanted to kill someone! After following Xu Qing for two years, they became more and more like normal girls. They would occasionally wheedle, speak straightforwardly, and of course, enjoy happiness!
Xu Hanxue quickly approached Xu Xiang. “Aunt, let’s eat the cake!”
Xu Xiang’s young face was filled with affection as she pinched Xu Hanxue’s chubby face and smiled. “So you didn’t miss me at all. You just wanted to eat cake. I’m so sad…”
