Chapter 239: I’m Sorry, It’s My Fault
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Xuan was surprised.
“I thought Dad had told you about the reason why I’m snow-white, but it seems like he didn’t.”
Gu Qingcheng tightened her grip on Huo Xuan’s hand.
Huo Xuan knew Huo Sicheng well. He had asked him about the reason why he was so white, but he refused to answer her.
She didn’t understand why Huo Sicheng refused to answer the question. After all, her son was loved by his own family, and his son felt inferior because of his appearance. As a parent, he must guide and investigate the reason for his son’s inferiority.
However, Huo Xuan’s behavior made her heart ache. He refused to admit that he was sick. He was just like a normal person.
To her, she had never thought that Huo Xuan was sick, other than the fact that she was surprised by how different he was when she first saw him.
Everyone was like this, seeking common ground while reserving differences.
Huo Xuan wasn’t sick. He was a normal boy, but his appearance was different from ordinary people.
She brought Huo Xuan to the doctor not because he was sick, but because she wanted to find out the reason why his body was so white. If there was a potential risk of illness, she had to plan for him in advance or find a doctor to treat him.
Lu Chi listened to Huo Xuan and looked at Gu Qingcheng curiously.
“Mom, I want to leave this place.” Huo Xuan held Gu Qingcheng’s hand tightly. “Okay?”
Gu Qingcheng held Huo Xuan in her arms, her heart aching. She looked at Lu
Chi and said, “I’ll take my son and leave first.”
Lu Chi nodded and said, “Where to? Shall I send you there?”
“No need.” Gu Qingcheng left the Lu family mansion with her son.
Gu Qingcheng didn’t say a word to Huo Xuan on the way back. Through the rearview mirror, she saw Huo Xuan, who had been beaming with joy when they arrived at the Lu family mansion, curled up in his chair, looking sad.
She parked the car at the roadside parking lot, sat in the back seat, and reached out to hug Huo Xuan.
The moment she hugged Huo Xuan’s tiny body, she could clearly feel his body tense up.
“I’m sorry.” Her large hand gently caressed his back to comfort him. “It’s Mommy’s fault for not thinking things through. It’s Mommy’s fault. Mommy made Baby unhappy. I’m sorry.”
Huo Xuan listened to Gu Qingcheng’s apologetic tone, and his deathly still eyes turned to look at her with clear and gentle eyes.
“Mommy is not wrong.” He responded to his mother gently. “Baby knows that Mommy is doing this for Baby’s own good. Baby won’t blame Mommy. Instead, Baby is grateful to Mommy.”
Hearing Huo Xuan’s thoughtful words, Gu Qingcheng felt even more stifled. “Baby, Mommy didn’t mean that you were sick.” She explained to him. “In Mommy’s eyes, my baby is the cutest angel in the world. I brought you to see this doctor today not to see what illness you have, but to check your genes. This way, we can prevent potential diseases in your body and make plans in advance.”
In order to prevent her from being unable to explain clearly, she said to him, “I’ve also done a genetic test. My chances of suffering from heart disease are higher than others, so I practice dancing to train my heart and lung function to avoid getting sick.”
Huo Xuan knew her mother’s good intentions, but when she heard her mother mention heart disease, she said nervously, “Mommy won’t have heart disease. Mommy will definitely be healthy.”
“With my baby’s words, Mommy will definitely be healthy.” Gu Qingcheng kissed Huo Xuan’s face lovingly. To make him happy, she said gently, “Baby, let’s go to the children’s playground to play, okay?”
Huo Xuan’s eyes lit up when he heard the word ‘amusement park’. He asked happily, “Can I go?”
Gu Qingcheng looked into Huo Xuan’s eyes. She felt as if her heart had been stabbed by a knife.
It hurt. It hurt.
Huo Xuan had always been under Huo Sicheng’s protection. Other than the school, he had always been to Wanmei Villa. He had never been to the amusement park because Huo Sicheng did not allow him to go to crowded places. That way, he could avoid getting hurt and encountering danger.
As for why Huo Xuan asked her so carefully, it was because he was kidnapped last time. He was ordered not to go out in Wanmei Villa, so it would be dangerous for him to go to crowded places.
She had found out that Gu Mei wanted to kill her son and had put an end to any future troubles. Now that the Gu family and the Qin family were in a mess because of the trending video, they would not come to hurt Huo Xuan.
However, in order to prevent any danger, she would contact Lu Chi.
Anything that could be solved with money was never a problem. She would hire someone to protect Huo Xuan.
“You can go.” She said with certainty. “Mommy will drive you to the amusement park. ”
Huo Xuan was so happy that she started dancing. Then, she thought of Huo
Sicheng who said worriedly, “Daddy will be angry if he knows.”
“Don’t worry,” Gu Qingcheng comforted Huo Xuan. “With Mommy here, Daddy will be fine.’
Huo Xuan smiled happily. “Yes, Daddy listens to Mommy the most.”
Gu Qingcheng smiled gently at Huo Xuan. She took out her phone and contacted Lu Chi to send someone to the amusement park.
She could use her money to book the entire amusement park, but she suggested going to the amusement park so that Huo Xuan could play with children of the same age. Therefore, once the amusement park was booked, it would be meaningless without children.
Now that Gu Mei and Qin Jun were on the trending searches, she wore a caD
and a mask to avoid trouble. Only her eyes were exposed.
Huo Xuan had seen the news this morning. He knew why Gu Qingcheng was doing this, so he wasn’t surprised.
He also chose to wear a cap to cover his white hair and was led by his mother to the entrance of the amusement park.
When he looked at the cartoon dolls placed around him, and the adults who came and went holding their cute sisters, brothers, or younger brothers, he was ecstatic.
This was the first time he had come to the amusement park in his life. Everything around him was very novel.
Gu Qingcheng bought a ticket and brought Huo Xuan into the amusement park.
“Baby, should we take the train or the Ferris wheel first?”
“Let’s go.” Gu Qingcheng pulled Huo Xuan toward the train.
Huo Xuan was having a lot of fun at the amusement park. Even though Gu Qingcheng saw someone following them and protecting them, she didn’t let Huo Xuan leave her sight.
That day, the mother and son had a lot of fun. It was not until they were playing the trampoline that a child started fighting and pushed Huo Xuan down.
In an instant, Gu Qingcheng was so frightened that she quickly pulled her son, Huo Xuan, into her arms. The other children had already gone up to fight, and even the parents who were watching from the side saw that their sons were fighting.
Gu Qingcheng and Huo Xuan’s bodyguards rushed forward to protect the mother and son, and they were about to leave this messy place.
The children were pulled away by the adults. The fat child in the lead pointed angrily at the child in front of him whose face was scratched and said, “It was him. He pushed me first.”
“Nonsense, you pushed my son first.” The parent of the scrawny child, whose face was covered in blood, protected his son. She grabbed Gu Qingcheng, who was about to leave, and said, “Don’t go yet. Your son was hit by a car just now. You must have seen clearly that it was her son who hit my son first.”
The fat kid’s parent saw that the skinny kid’s parent was trying to guide her with words, and she looked at Gu Qingcheng in exasperation. “Madam, I believe that you’re an upright person. You must have seen his son push my son first, causing him to hit the steel pipe and his forehead to swell.”
Before Gu Qingcheng could say anything, she saw a wad of money being quietly shoved into her hand. She frowned and looked over, only to see the skinny child’s parent standing in front of her and giving her a look.
Huo Xuan looked at the wad of cash in Gu Qingcheng’s hand, displeased.
Gu Qingcheng glanced at the money that had been shoved into her hand.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the parent who was giving her a hard look.. She asked, “What do you mean?”
