Chenxing said, pinching his cheeks with both hands and pulling them apart, "Smile."
Gu Shaocheng’s face tingled from her tugging, his lips curving into a smile.
"That’s better, you should smile more." Chenxing released her grip with satisfaction. "I still rember a few years ago, once I stood at the door of your study, watching you scold your subordinates. You didn’t say a word, but with that indifferent glance, those people who usually had their eyes on top of their heads didn’t dare to breathe. Hua Hua and I were secretly hiding outside, watching, and he said you were simply terrifying, enough to scare soone to death!"
Gu Shaocheng dismissed it, "Exaggerated."
Chenxing pursed her lips, thinking it really was.
The car arrived at the inner residence; they had soone carry the children inside to rest, while the couple strolled under the moonlight, leaning on each other.
"Let hold you." Among the pavilions and towers, Gu Shaocheng paused and spread his arms.
Chenxing looked up at him, smiling as she wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her head against his chest. His chin rested on her head, and his hand slowly encircled her. A familiar and warm emotion spontaneously arose from deep within, this all-too-familiar embrace, allowing them to share this leisure under the moonlight. After so long, just a hug was enough to convey to each other how important they were.
A pure embrace with not even a kiss.
In the quiet night, listening to each other’s heartbeats.
It felt like ti stood still, with happiness filling their hearts.
"You know? Back in the day, my parents also liked to take evening strolls downstairs in our neighborhood. My mom loved clinging to my dad, and I would stand beside them, smiling with joy."
"Who knows if your mom will ever regain consciousness?" Ever since her mother-in-law left Sheng Sheng on Jiangxin Island, he held a grudge. He seldom took the children to the sanatorium, fearing she’d relapse and hurt them.
After Chenxing woke up, she frequently went to accompany her mother, but unfortunately, she couldn’t awaken her consciousness.
Gu Shaocheng, of course, understood that when she spoke of her parents, she ant her adoptive ones, "Tomorrow I’m free, let accompany you to offer incense to your parents."
Chenxing looked up, thinking she had misheard, so she asked in confusion, "Go to City T? Actually, I want to see Dad too."
"I ant your adoptive parents."
Chenxing’s eyes widened, "You want to offer incense to my adoptive parents?"
"In a way, I am their son-in-law too, it’s only right to visit them," Gu Shaocheng said.
Chenxing was stunned for a long ti, and Gu Shaocheng knocked gently on her forehead, "Don’t want to go? Isn’t it said that a laugh erases all grudges after so many years?"
Of course not; in fact, Chenxing wanted to say she had already secretly taken Zun Zun and Sheng Sheng to offer incense to her parents.
"No, I just feel surprised."
Gu Shaocheng stroked her face, "Now that Zun Zun and Sheng Sheng are grown, tomorrow let’s pay respects to your adoptive parents first, and then bring your mom back to the Gu Family, so you won’t have to go to the sanatorium as often. She can stay in the inner courtyard, making it easier to take care of her."
Chenxing nodded vigorously, thinking this decision was simply perfect.
Since becoming a mother, she understood more and more the difficulties of being a parent. Whether they were her adoptive or biological parents, in her heart, they were always her mom and dad. The grudges of the past had already transpired; she could not change it and could only accept it, hoping the living could live well.
...
Western Hills Cetery.
Chenxing squatted in front of the tombstone, looking at the yellowed photos on it. "Dad, Mom, I brought my husband to et you. His na is Gu Shaocheng, I’ve ntioned him to you; he is..."
