Chapter 1906: Chapter 1910: Unexpected
Ye Xingbei was montarily stunned, then laughed, “At the very least, the day I t you was painful! Anyone who wakes up to find they’ve been tricked into a man’s bed and lost their innocence wouldn’t feel good, wouldn’t you agree?”
Gu Junzhu wanted to say sothing, but Ye Xingbei interrupted with another laugh, “The day I t Xiao Shu was also painful. I was only sixteen then, and Bai ngluan and Jiang Siyou suddenly handed a child, claiming it was mine. They tossed the child into my arms and left. Imdiately after, Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai used ‘bringing sha and dishonor’ as an excuse to kick out of the house. I endured hardships growing up, and I always thought my character had been toughened, but at that mont, facing all the disdain and contemptuous looks, I was almost in despair. I…”
“Shimu!” an urgent call interrupted Ye Xingbei.
Ye Xingbei was startled and turned to see Xiao Shumiao standing at the door, staring intently at her.
A buzzing sound echoed in Ye Xingbei’s ears, and her mind went blank.
She and Gu Junzhu… didn’t close the door?
How much of what she just said did Xiao Shumiao hear?
Xiao Shumiao looked at her fixedly, then suddenly turned and ran away.
“Xiao Shu!” Ye Xingbei hurried to give chase.
Xiao Shumiao ran back to his room, climbed onto the bed, lay on the pillow, closed his eyes, and muttered, “Xiao Shu is dreaming! Xiao Shu must be having a nightmare! Xiao Shu is having a nightmare!”
Ye Xingbei stood by the bed, staring blankly at him.
So… did Xiao Shumiao hear everything she just said to Gu Junzhu?
The secret she worked so hard to keep hidden for so long was finally discovered by Xiao Shumiao?
She stood by the bed, her expression vacant, her mind a blank.
In truth, she never thought this secret could be kept from Xiao Shumiao forever.
After all, the age difference between her and Xiao Shumiao was too small.
Xiao Shumiao was so smart, perhaps he wouldn’t even need to wait until adulthood. Just a few more years and he would know that she and Gu Junzhu were not his biological parents.
But she still hoped this secret could be kept for a few more years.
At least, she wanted Xiao Shumiao to have a happy, carefree childhood.
Wait until he grows a bit more, into a young boy, when his mind is mature and resilient, and he can understand more things.
Even if he finds out he isn’t her and Gu Junzhu’s biological child, he would find it easier to accept.
But now… Xiao Shu is only five.
Gu Junzhu ca to her side, pulled her into his arms, and gently patted her on the shoulder, “Actually, we both knew, this secret couldn’t be kept for a lifeti.”
“But… we could have kept it for a few more years,” Ye Xingbei murmured, gazing at the curled-up Xiao Shumiao on the bed, “That’s why I said, I don’t like Jiang City… not at all…”
Gu Junzhu sighed silently, “It’s okay. Everything will be alright.”
Ye Xingbei looked at Xiao Shumiao, “What do we do now?”
Xiao Shumiao curled up, wrapped in a small blanket, eyes closed, his muttering voice grew fainter, seeming as though he was about to fall asleep.
Gu Junzhu watched him for a mont, “Let’s go back and let Xiao Yue watch over him.”
He looked at Lingyue, “Xiao Yue…”
Lingyue nodded seriously, speaking softly, “I understand everything, Shifu.”
He climbed onto the bed, lying down next to Xiao Shumiao, placing a hand on Xiao Shumiao’s body.
