Chapter 1094
1094 My heart is only so big
“Mu Chu brought his girlfriend into the family. As her husband, why can’t I fulfill her wish and give her this pair of bracelets as a gift to Lan Xiao?”
“When Mu Chu was born, Qiao Ying told me that she left a pair of gold bracelets for the child. In the future, when her child found a wife, she would personally give the bangle to the girl. Unfortunately, a beauty had a tragic life. She had a bad life. Because she lost Mu Chu, she couldn’t take the blow and died. However, just because she’s dead doesn’t mean that I’m dead. I’ll fulfill her wish no matter what. I can’t care about other people’s feelings. I only feel that I owe this mother and son.”
Old Mr. Wen sighed with a complicated look in his eyes and said in a hoarse voice.
“But you’re also huien’s husband, Yueyue. She’ll be sad if you treat her like this.”
Wen zhihuai’s lips curved into a smile as he pointed to his heart.
He looked at old Mr. Wen with a burning gaze and replied with a slight tremble.
“But dad, I’m just an ordinary person. My heart is only so big. I really can’t put another person in. Even though qiaoying has been dead for so many years, I still love her. I’ll always treat her as my only wife. I remember telling you that I’ll never fall in love with another woman in my life.”
“But you didn’t take my words to heart. You were stubborn and married a wife for me. Now, you want me to care about her feelings? I didn’t love him in the first place, and after so many years, I still don’t love him. Tell me, how can I put someone I don’t love in my heart? I only know that I can’t let the person I love suffer. I can’t care about the others.”
Old Mr. Wen’s face turned sullen.
The light in his eyes slowly dimmed.
He clenched his fists and looked at Wen zhihuai in a daze.
“In that case, did I really do something wrong back then? A wrong marriage that has harmed you and also harmed huien?”
Wen zhihuai didn’t say anything more. He undid his tie and plopped down heavily on the sofa.
He leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes.
Lan Xiao’s emotions were extremely complicated. As a junior, she really didn’t know how to persuade him about the grudges of the previous generation.
Moreover, as the person at the center of this matter, Wen Muchu, she was even more worried.
She turned her head to look at Wen Muchu. Wen Muchu lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Especially when Wen zhihuai mentioned that Yin qiaoying had died because she had lost Wen Muchu and was beaten to death.
A trace of sorrow gradually flowed out of his body.
Lan Xiao’s heart ached.
She approached Wen Muchu and reached out to hold his hand.
Only then did Wen Muchu snap out of his daze. The gloominess in his eyes gradually faded away.
He smiled at Lan Xiao.
His gaze fell on the pair of gold bracelets. Then, he carefully put the gold bracelets away and closed the brocade box.
“Since this is a token of my appreciation, don’t reject it. Just accept it.” He said to Lan Xiao gently. This is a gift that mom prepared for her daughter-in-law many years ago. We have to keep it well in the future. In the future, if we have children, we’ll treat it as a family heirloom and pass it on to our children from generation to generation.”
When Lan Xiao heard this, her nose started to sting.
She held back the tears in her eyes and bit her lip as she nodded to Wen Muchu.
Then, she held the brocade box tightly in her arms.
Wen zhihuai opened his eyes and looked at Wen Muchu in surprise.
“Yingluo, you’re finally willing to call her mommy?”
Ever since Wen Muchu had returned to the Jin capital, he had never addressed any of them in the way he should.
Even when Wen Muchu mentioned Yin qiaoying, he would use “her” instead.
Now, Wen Muchu actually took the initiative to call her mother.
Did this mean that he was slowly starting to let go of the past?
Wen zhihuai’s heart was filled with joy.
He didn’t ask Wen Muchu to call him ‘father’, he just wanted to hear him call qiaoying’ mother’. To him, that was enough.
Wen Muchu’s eyes were filled with a complicated look as he looked at Wen zhihuai.
“Isn’t she my mother? Since that’s the case, I naturally have to call her mom.”
Wen zhihuai’s eyes were filled with tears of excitement as he nodded repeatedly.
“yingluo is your mother. Even though she didn’t take care of you much, she’s the mother who loves you the most in this world.”
Old Mr. Wen was rather heartened to see this.
He felt that he had made too many mistakes in the past.
Whether it was towards Wen Muchu or Yin qiaoying, he needed to make it up to them.
Old Mr. Wen felt that it was time for him to reflect on the foolish things he had done in the past.
He lowered his head, raised his sleeve, and wiped the moisture from his eyes.
Lan Xiao’s sharp eyes naturally noticed the old man’s abnormality.
She quickly pulled her sleeve and hinted Wen Muchu to go and take a look.
Wen Muchu turned around and saw old Mr. Wen wiping his tears.
His heart shrank slightly.
Lan Xiao raised a finger to his lips and shushed her.
She told Wen Muchu not to make a big deal out of it. He was an old man with a thin skin and she could not embarrass him.
Wen Muchu pursed his lips and smiled. At this moment, his heart was a little heavy.
However, when he saw how cute and considerate Lan Xiao was, he was filled with gratitude.
It was a good thing that he had her beside him.
Imperceptibly, it dispelled a lot of the depressed emotions in his heart.
—
About ten minutes later, seventh uncle noticed that the atmosphere had eased up a little.
He hurriedly asked the servant waiting in the kitchen to serve the dishes.
Lan Xiao sat at the dining table and looked at the various dishes on the table. Her eyes flickered a few times.
These dishes were all her favorite.
The other half of the dishes were Wen Muchu’s favorite.
Lan Xiao’s heart throbbed. She tugged on Wen Muchu’s sleeve and leaned against him, whispering into his ear.
“Chu Chu, who prepared this dish? And these dishes all look so good. The taste is probably the best in the world, right?”
Wen Muchu glanced at the dishes on the table and chuckled.
“Even though the lordmaster has left all of this to that woman to prepare, I’m not sure what to do. However, seventh uncle secretly told me that the old master was worried and had secretly changed a lot of the steamed buns. So, these dishes should be prepared by him.”
“He did put in some hard work. Abalone, king crab, octopus, and so on are all your favorite. I really couldn’t tell that he didn’t have a good expression on his face. He’s really prepared this with care.”
It was undeniable that ever since Lan Xiao entered the presidential palace …
Old Mr. Wen’s intentions were not just a little.
Lan Xiao agreed and sneaked a glance at old Mr. Wen.
In the end, unfortunately, he was discovered by his old man.
