Being hit where it hurts, Cui Hao felt a knot in his heart; as a parent, he couldn’t find the dignity of a father in front of his son. Even his old wife could see through his thoughts, but his son just hated him. To avoid seeing him, his son would rather move out early, and how could Cui Hao feel comfortable about that?
But he also knew that the situation they were in wasn’t sothing that could be explained in a few words. Because of that matter, his son still hadn’t forgiven him.
He wasn’t without remorse or regret for what had happened in the past. But as a father, as a man, he couldn’t express his vulnerable side like a woman. He had lived too rigidly all his life, and at this age, he couldn’t bring himself to soften.
Lin Ning comforted him and then reassured Cui Jiangjing, "Son, don’t take your dad’s words to heart. Ho will always be your safe harbor; you can co back anyti you want. Mom will make you sothing delicious."
"You’re spoiling him. Look at his attitude when talking to us; there’s not an ounce of respect left. He doesn’t even consider us! Let him go! You go, and don’t co back again!"
"Honey!"
"Hmph!"
Cui Jiangjing watched Cui Hao turn his head away, Lin Ning full of helplessness. Suddenly, he felt overwheld with fatigue, and he turned and left, not looking back.
"Son..."
Lin Ning called him a few tis but couldn’t stop him. As she watched him leave, her eyes turned red with anger, and she pushed the man on the sofa in frustration, "See, you’ve driven him away again. Every ti he cos back, you drive him off. Are you happy that he won’t co back..."
Cui Hao regretted it after seeing Jiangjing leave, but stubbornly admitted nothing, "Whether he cos back or not, it doesn’t matter! What’s the difference if he doesn’t co back? He cos back only once every few months, just to take a shower, change clothes, and leave, doesn’t even stay for dinner. It’s better if he leaves, out of sight, out of mind. I can just pretend I don’t have a son!"
Lin Ning was caught between laughing and crying, wanted to scold him but saw the bitterness hidden in his eyes, surely the pain in his heart wasn’t any less than hers. She swallowed back the words she wanted to scold, gently patting the man’s shoulder in silent comfort.
...
Gu Linxi had just finished fixing a sports car that a regular custor brought in for maintenance, and as she slid out from under it, she saw soone else in the shop.
She watched as the man who left returned, got up from the trolley, biting off her gloves with cherry lips, casually grabbed a bottle of mineral water nearby, and took a sip, asking without much surprise, "Why are you here again, isn’t the hospital busy?"
"Ca over to bring you clothes."
Cui Jiangjing’s handso face carried a smile, his eyes seemingly filled with starlight, as he handed over the paper bag.
"Take it, I had the dry cleaners wash it clean."
Gu Linxi glanced at him, silently accepted the clothes. She originally didn’t want to speak, but when their eyes t, she couldn’t help it.
"You... what’s wrong, you don’t seem to be in a good mood."
Her question caught the smiling man off guard. He touched his own face, confirming he hadn’t shown any emotion, and gave a surprised look from his peach blossom eyes, "How did you know I’m in a bad mood? Aren’t I smiling?"
Gu Linxi took another sip of water, saying casually, "You don’t always smile; does having a smile on your face relate to your mood being bad?"
"Hahaha."
As soon as she finished speaking, soone burst out laughing joyfully, quickly walked over, and pulled her into an embrace.
"Xixi, you’re my treasure!"
