C5 I Didn't Put on a Show

"Mommy?" Moyichen, who had his head lowered and was playing with a small ball, suddenly raised his head. His curious gaze met with Muqingxuan, who was close to having a look at his eyes.

Muqingxuan reached out her hand to caress his cute and delicate little face, but he shrank back instead, her eyes filled with resistance.

"Diehde, is she really Mommy?"

Moyanrui went forward and put his arm around his shoulders, and said patiently: "Of course, look, does she look exactly like Mommy in the photo?"

Moyichen stared at Muqingxuan for a good while before nodding his head heavily. He stretched his right arm out, but was unable to reach Muqingxuan.

Moyanrui glared at her fiercely, reminding her what she was standing around for.

Because of Moyichen's previous retreat, Muqingxuan was worried that he would scare the child again.

But after Moyanrui glanced at her unhappily, she understood what he meant. She excitedly hugged her child, her hands trembling, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

Her child was still alive. The warmth from his body was like a small stove in her arms, causing her heart, which had been cold for five years, to feel incomparable warmth.

"Mommy, why haven't you seen me before?" Moyichen cautiously asked.

Muqingxuan released his small body and wiped away the tears on his face with his fingers.

"I …" She did not know how to tell the child. Was it possible to tell him that she had never known he existed? Then the lie about their parents would be exposed, the Moyanrui would definitely not let them go.

"Your mommy was away on a business trip. It's not like she doesn't see you. Every time she comes back, you fall asleep, so you didn't see her." Moyanrui helped her answer this question, and she looked at him with gratitude.

Moyichen lowered his head and thought for a moment, then believed it too. Then, he grabbed Muqingxuan's hand. "Mommy, if I fall asleep again the next time you come back, you wake me up. I won't cry or be angry."

As if afraid that the Muqingxuan would not believe him, he shook his head. Such an expression and action made Muqingxuan's heart ache uncontrollably.

"Mommy won't leave you again, she won't!" She once again pulled Xiaochen into her embrace.

The Moyanrui watched the interaction between the two without saying a word, a complicated look in his eyes. When the Muqingxuan said that he would never leave the Xiaochen, his back unconsciously stiffened.

Hearing Muqingxuan's words, Xiaochen opened his round eyes wide, and peeked his head out of her arms in surprise. He asked with his head raised, "Really?"

"Of course." When Muqingxuan replied, she did not have enough confidence. She glanced at Moyanrui, worried that he would not give her the chance to do so.

The look in her eyes caused Moyanrui's face to instantly tense up and his gaze to sharpen by quite a bit.

Just a moment ago, he actually believed this woman who was spouting lies. Her guilty conscience was immediately revealed, and Moyanrui couldn't help but berate herself in her heart.

He coldly stretched out his hand, pulled Xiaochen back to his side and said with a stern voice, "We're going to school."

Muqingxuan opened her mouth, but she did not say anything. She was already very happy that he was willing to let her see her child. Even if they wanted to spend more time with the child, they wouldn't dare to open their mouths and provoke his ire.

"No, I'm not going to school!" Suddenly, the Xiaochen pushed the Moyanrui away emotionally and curled up on the sofa with a dark face.

"Xiaochen, why aren't you willing to go to school?" Muqingxuan walked up, caressed his little head and asked gently.

"Is it because someone is bullying you in school? I'll go and have a talk with your teacher." When the Moyanrui thought of this possibility, he immediately went into a rage.

"No one is bullying me." Xiaochen immediately explained, "I just don't want to go to school."

"Are you in trouble again?" Moyanrui stared at Xiaochen, knowing that this was not the first time he was in this situation.

Xiaochen grabbed Muqingxuan's arm: "I'm not going to school, I don't want to go home. Mommy is gone again." He looked up, tears in his eyes.

"Silly child, you came back from school, Mommy is still at home."

Even though Muqingxuan said this, the mentally sensitive Xiaochen still didn't believe him. "The other students' parents are all together, but Mommy, you have never been with us. Are you really your Diehde's wife?"

"Huh?" This question embarrassed Muqingxuan. When she didn't know how to answer, Moyanrui came over and wrapped his right hand around her neck, accurately kissing her lips.

The Muqingxuan opened his eyes wide in shock, but did not push him away. Very quickly, he moved his lips, put his arm around her shoulders and smiled to Xiaochen: "Your mommy was busy before and had always been out on business. She won't do it in the future, right?"

He looked at her as if he was waiting for her answer like the Xiaochen.

Muqingxuan immediately nodded his head, "Yes! "Nope."

The doubt in Xiaochen's heart seemed to have been dispelled by their interactions, but he still said that he could not go to school, and only after they tried to ask and persuade him in many different ways, did he explain the reason. It was almost Halloween, and the teacher had asked them to make a jack-o '-lantern with Mom and Dad, but he hadn't done it properly.

"Why didn't you tell Diehde earlier?" Moyanrui was surprised, this was not a difficult matter. However, thinking about it, Xiaochen's recent bad mood, might even cause a very simple point of pain to him, and this was definitely where the children's activities took place.

"I want to make a pumpkin lamp with Diehde's mother." He said it in a soft voice.

"Alright, then let's do the pumpkin lights together. When are we going to hand in the homework?"

After Moyanrui asked this question, his face wrinkled once again, "Today."

Hearing his words, Moyanrui immediately called the kindergarten teacher. After hanging up, he came over to comfort Xiaochen: "Teacher said that it's fine to hand in the money later. The event evaluation is only on the weekend."

Xiaochen's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Then Diehde, let's do it quickly."

Moyanrui immediately had someone find pumpkin.

Because they had never done this kind of little thing before, after Moyanrui checked the tutorial, the three of them worked together to finally produce a satisfactory one after destroying three pumpkins.

"I didn't expect you to be so weak." Moyanrui scolded Muqingxuan, "Aren't you a person who learned how to dance, can your fingers be more nimble?"

"You …" Muqingxuan was not willing to admit defeat, "Your blade is so powerful, cutting a pumpkin is not nimble."

The two of them teased each other and glared at each other. Neither of them wanted to let the other go. All of a sudden, they seemed to have forgotten all the grudges and misunderstandings of the past six years. Muqingxuan also lacked the fear he had towards Moyanrui ever since they met again.

"Diehde, Mommy, are you guys arguing?" Xiaochen's gaze swept between them as he asked worriedly.

"How could that be? Diehde won't quarrel with your mother. " Moyanrui was worried that Xiaochen would be unhappy and immediately explained, "I was just laughing at your mother for being so stupid."

Muqingxuan rolled his eyes.

After confirming that the Xiaochen had fallen asleep, the Muqingxuan who was telling stories to the Xiaochen quietly withdrew from the children's room and went back to her room to take a bath with a smile.

When she came out, she found Moyanrui sitting on her bed.

She took two steps back in fear. "What are you doing here?"

He looked at her frightened expression. His face tightened up as he sneered. He patted the seat next to him and signaled her to come over.

Muqingxuan took a deep breath, suppressed the fear lingering in his heart, and slowly walked over.

Just as he sat down, he heard his sarcasm.

"It's such a waste if you're not the actor. Your acting skills are quite good. Even I have to think that you are a good mother who does her duty." He put his hand under her chin and his eyes narrowed.

"I'm not acting!" she countered seriously for herself.
