Chapter 343: Chapter 311: She and Tang Tianyou Already Have a Child
Gu Qili’s gaze fell not on Mu Shuoqian, but rather on the ostentatious Maybach 62S. After so many years, Maybach had already released new models, yet he was still driving this 62S, and most importantly...
"What are you staring at, your face is so tensed up?" Tang Tianyou, who had alighted from the car with her, noticed her peculiarity and followed her gaze just in time to see the Maybach’s driver-side door swing open and a long leg clad in black trousers step out. Mu Shuoqian always had a radiant aura, as if equipped with built-in lighting effects, thus his presence immediately drew the attention of everyone around.
"Ah, whose parent is this?" People began to whisper, unable to hide their envy in their tone. This man was strikingly handsome and was driving such a luxurious car, his status must be extraordinary.
Upon getting out of the car, Mu Shuoqian also spotted Gu Qili not far away. Today she wore an army green hooded coat with her hair tied up high, showing off her long elegant neck, pale as a swan.
Standing next to Tang Tianyou, who was dressed in a black trench coat, the two of them appeared to be talking about something. Suddenly, Tang Tianyou lifted his hand to tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
She did not refuse, instead giving him a faint smile in return.
The pair in the sunset seemed perfectly matched, easily mistaken for a couple posing for a roadside photo shoot. However, the sight painfully stung someone’s eyes, who took great efforts to force himself to look away, leaning nonchalantly against the car as he pulled out a cigarette to slowly smoke.
The children began to come out from the kindergarten and were picked up by their parents one by one. Gu Qili anxiously tiptoed to look for Tongtong, but instead, she saw Mu Qinian walking out alone wearing a large backpack.
With both hands pulling on the straps, he walked with his head down, kicking aside anything in his way, his little face looking somewhat desolate.
Gu Qili felt an inexplicable pang of heartache. Despite having decided to sever any ties with him, seeing the little guy in distress still made her heart ache; she wanted to go over and hold him tightly, comforting him.
Absent-mindedly, Mu Qinian pursed his lips, lifted his head, and with a turn of his large eyes, he spotted Gu Qili. Joy immediately climbed up his eyes as he waved from afar, "Alice, Alice, I’m here."
Indeed, his Alice wouldn’t give up on him so easily.
Gu Qili felt even more guilty and uneasy, believing that he thought she was there to pick him up.
Just as Mu Qinian was swiftly running towards her, a strong hand grabbed his shoulder and forcefully yanked him back: "Mu Qinian."
It was then Mu Qinian noticed the somewhat annoyed Mu Shuoqian, blinking, he looked somewhat disdainfully: "Dad, why are you here?"
What kind of attitude was that? Shouldn’t he be overjoyed to tears seeing him? Yet, there he was, giving him a sullen face; more affectionate to see his mother than his own father. It seemed all the years he had spent raising him were in vain, the ungrateful child.
"Dad, don’t pull me, I want to talk to Alice," Mu Qinian struggled with his legs flailing, but his kinetic defiance was like the buzzing of a mosquito in front of Mu Shuoqian, utterly non-threatening.
Mu Shuoqian stuffed the child into the car, and as he was about to duck into the vehicle himself, he suddenly saw a fashionably dressed cute little girl happily running out from the kindergarten. On seeing Gu Qili, she affectionately threw herself into her arms.
The two chatted and laughed, close as mother and daughter, and something Gu Qili said led the little girl to obediently let Tang Tianyou take her away, her little hands naturally wrapping around his neck and kissing him on the cheek.
After years apart, she and Tang Tianyou already had a child together, appearing blissfully happy as a family of three, envied by onlookers.
Although Mu Shuoqian had long braced for such a day, and this was precisely the outcome he had hoped for, seeing it in reality felt as if it was the end of the world.
Seeing her happy in front of another man, seeing her bear a child for another man, he couldn’t bring himself to genuinely wish them well.
At that moment, he nearly wanted to disregard everything to take her back, all the damn grudges be damned, even if she hated him, he would still have her by his side, no matter what.
"Dad, why have you turned the air conditioning so low, trying to freeze me to death?" Mu Qinian, sitting in the rear child seat, grumbled unhappily, not letting him see Alice and now attempting to freeze him with the air conditioner; he was increasingly doubting if he was really his own flesh and blood.
