Chapter 341: Chapter 310 I Really Like Her
Mu Shuoqian could still remember that sentence Luo Shangqing said while standing outside the door. He said, "Don’t ever do anything illegal."
Later, Mickey came and told him everything that happened to Gu Qili recently. Mickey’s words were quite intense, it seemed like she really hated him too, assuming he was responsible for everything.
After Mickey left, Mu Shuoqian realized how big of a mistake he had made. He thought that letting go meant giving her freedom, but this freedom caused her too much pain. It was all his fault; letting go isn’t always the right thing to do.
"Thud, thud"
The door shook violently as it was beaten and Mu Qinian’s mournful voice came through, "Dad, what on earth did you do, why does A-Li say we might never meet again?"
Thinking of the recent phone call he made using Uncle Yu’s mobile to Gu Qili, Mu Qinian’s tears streamed down. He thought hard but couldn’t find any faults in himself, so he figured it must be because dad looks too fierce, which scared her.
"Dad, why don’t you go and apologize to A-Li, be nicer, don’t always keep a stern face."
"Dad, I am serious about A-Li, I really like her a lot."
Mu Qinian was still sobbing uncontrollably when suddenly the door in front of him opened. Just as he thought he had successfully persuaded Mu Shuoqian, a shadow flew out, and then the door slammed shut. A cold voice carried by the wind said, "Do whatever you want."
She is his biological mother, he has no reason to stop them from meeting. But the thought that she might recognize her son and possibly take him away made him anxiously distressed. Was he really going to be left all alone?
Mu Qinian stared at the toy box on the floor, treasured it, picked it up, hugged it and happily went back to his room.
"A-Li, are you really ignoring me?"
This message, Gu Qili had read it no less than ten times. Each time she wanted to reply, but forced herself to ignore it.
She really liked Mu Qinian; the liking came from the bottom of her heart. However, once she knew he was the child Mu Shuoqian had with another woman, she felt conflicted.
Mu Qinian should be around the same age as Tongtong, his father moved on fast, having a child not long after she left.
Gu Qili massaged her temples. Her mind was in chaos. Reason told her to stay away from this child, but her emotions made it hard to let go of this fleeting relationship.
She decided to delete the message, maybe then she wouldn’t be so conflicted.
"What are you looking at, you didn’t even hear me calling." Tang Tianyou coughed lightly, "Are you trying to starve me to death, your patient?"
That reminded Gu Qili that she was still holding the thermal flask, containing sea cucumber porridge. Tang Tianyou didn’t like takeout, so she had gone home to cook fresh porridge.
"Here it comes, starved ghost reincarnated." Gu Qili glared at him, unscrewed the flask, poured a bowl of porridge and put it in front of him, "Eat, the temperature is just right."
Tang Tianyou stirred the porridge leisurely with his spoon, "You seem a little off today."
"I saw Mu Shuoqian," Gu Qili was always straightforward with him, "and his son."
Tang Tianyou’s spoon paused, a rush of anxiety swept through his body. Over these four years, their relationship had grown, but it had never crossed that boundary; he knew she still thought of Mu Shuoqian. Precisely speaking, Mu Shuoqian’s impact on her hadn’t faded even over four years.
"Tianyou, it’s really strange, I thought I would hate him when I saw him, but I didn’t. To me, he now seems like a stranger. He harmed our Gu Family, caused Niannian’s death, I should be irreconcilable with him, but seeing him live well now, I even think, let it be, why bother anymore? Can I still take revenge on his son?" Gu Qili caressed the thermal flask in her hands, her gaze distant and cold, "Let’s just be strangers, never to meet again in this life."
Tang Tianyou seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, took a spoonful of porridge into his mouth, "It’s best if you can think like this. Now the most important thing is to get the winery going, let other things take their course. I don’t want to see you unhappy."
Gu Qili blinked at him, "Don’t worry, I have no mood to think about these things now. Once the investment for the winery comes through, I will start recruiting aggressively."
"Why don’t you recruit me too?" he said earnestly.
