MO Ruyue didnât give him the chance to think too much. She held San Baoâs shoulder and turned him over, pushing him into the courtyard. She happened to meet Aunt Liu and Er Bao who were walking over.
âRuyue, this⦠This isâ¦â
Aunt Liu was also shocked when she suddenly saw a man beside MO Ruyue.
She had suffered such a huge blow, let alone the others.
Er Baoâs reaction was even worse than San Bao i s. He opened his mouth so wide that even flies and mosquitoes could fly in.
âLetâs talk later, letâs go in first.â
MO Ruyue had already expected the Liu couple and their babiesâ reactions to be very exaggerated, but she had still underestimated the effect of the exaggeration.
Especially when the other three babies came out of the room, the situation was a little out of control.
âFather!
A voice that sounded like it was breaking could be heard, and in the next second, a figure flew toward Gu Ying.
âEr Bao!â
Da Bao, who had just come out of the house, could not stop him in time. He could only watch as his second brother pounced on the man standing in the courtyard.
Gu Ying neither dodged nor refused. Instead, he hugged the boy in his arms, and at the same time, a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
It was soft and sore, and his chest felt a little tight, but there was also a feeling
Was this the feeling of being a father?
âFather, why did you only come back now? I miss you so much!â
Er Bao hugged Gu Ying tightly, even his legs were on his legs, like an octopus that had been clinging to its prey.
Gu Ying turned to look at MO Ruyue. He had never encountered such a situation and didnât know how to deal with it.
MO Ruyue shook her head at him, indicating that he should calm Er Bao down first.
Gu Ying hesitated for a moment, but he still reached out his hand and slowly touched the top of Er Baoâs head.
A soft touch came from his palm, melting Gu Yingâs cold and hard heart.
No wonder MO Ruyue was so thoroughly separated from the dark life. If he was always surrounded by a group of children like this, he would not be willing to return to the dark.
For some reason, Gu Ying suddenly remembered what had happened when he was renting a house in that small mountain village. At that time, the elderly and children in the village were never afraid of the cold he was covered in. Every time they saw him, they would show a bright smile.
The children would also give him some small gifts from time to time. Whether it was a bunch of flowers, a few grasshoppers, or a handful of wild fruits, they were all sincere hearts that they had brought out.
The feeling that Gu Ying could not understand at that time suddenly became extremely clear and profound at this moment.
âMother, isnât he Uncle Gu Ying? Why did Second Brother call him father?â
San Bao raised his head and looked at MO Ruyue. He was completely stunned by Er Baoâs shout.
Although he felt a sense of familiarity and closeness when he saw Uncle Gu Ying, he couldnât associate the person in front of him with his âfather.â He was so tall, his figure was like an unattainable mountain peak.
He was so handsome that no man he had ever seen could compare to him.
There was also a faint, cold fragrance on his body. It was a smell that he had never had before in his memory.
Could this man really be his father?
But he⦠Wasnât he already dead?
âQin Qingduo, get off uncle. Heâs not your father. His name is Gu Ying.â
MO Ruyue called Er Baoâs full name, which meant that her attitude was very serious.
Aunt Liu was also stunned as she watched from the side. She could not imagine how things would develop next.
At the start, she really thought that Qin Ming was back but after looking closely, she realized that he was a completely different person.
Although Qin Ming was also a quiet person, he didnât give people the feeling of being cold at all. The man in front of her not only had a cold aura, but also an aura that couldnât be hidden.
This was an extremely dangerous man. This was what Aunt Liu judged based on her decades of life experience. However, what she couldnât understand was how MO Ruyue knew such a man and even brought him home.
She didnt even mind letting the babies interact with him. What was going on?
Soon, everyone gathered in the babiesâ study room, including the Liu couple.
Originally, they wanted to avoid it. After all, this was MO Ruyueâs private matter. Even if they couldnât understand, they didnât have the right to interfere. They didnât expect her to ask the couple to stay.
âUncle Liu, Aunt Liu, Iâve treated both of you as real uncles and aunts, so I donât want to hide this matter from you. Or perhaps Iâll have to explain it a second time, so Iâll just tell you both this time.â
When she said this, the Liu couple also stayed. Although they also felt a little embarrassed, they were more or less relieved that MO Ruyue had acknowledged them.
âMother, whatâs going on here? Heâs not my father from outside, so what does it have to do with you?â
Everyone had just taken their seats and MO Ruyue had yet to speak when Da Bao immediately asked.
His expression was gloomy and his brows were tightly furrowed. He stared unkindly at Gu Ying, clearly full of hostility. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHe is indeed not your father. He is just someone who looks very similar, but he is the most important person to Mother.â
MO Ruyue said frankly and did not avoid Da Baoâs gaze.
She couldnât explain to her babies about reincarnation. Perhaps there would be some kind of opportunity in the future for them to be honest with each other, but now was not the time.
âYouâre breaking off your marriage with my father for this man?
Da Bao immediately asked the second question.
His questions were all direct and sharp, with no room for escape.
âNo, Iâve already had this thought before this. Iâve never even met your father, and I canât be a widow for the rest of my life for a stranger.â
âEven if he didnât appear, I would still break off my marriage with your father. Nothing will change about this.â
MO Ruyue answered without any hesitation. Things had always been like this.
She would not go against her own heart and give the so-called âwhite lieâ to make Da Bao feel more at ease.
âWas this the uncle who recuperated at our house last time?
Da Bao asked the third question of the night. His eyes were sharper and more direct, as if he had already known everything.
âYes, and the last time was not the first time I saved him, but the second time.â MO Ruyue still answered this question without hesitation.
Da Bao was an extremely sensitive person. If there was a trace of hesitation in her answer, he would notice it. If he found out that she was lying in the future, things would become even more difficult to deal with.
It was better to be honest from the beginning and then slowly untie the knot in his heart.
This time, Da Bao suddenly stopped asking questions and looked at MO Ruyue silently. No one knew what he was thinking.
âIs this the reason why you donât allow the outside world to have any contact with him?â
Da Bao asked one last question after a while.
âLook at his appearance. What would happen if I let you see him?â
This time, it was MO Ruyue who asked in return. When she first found out that Gu Ying and Qin Ming looked very similar, her first instinct was that she couldnât let the babies see his appearance.
When they suddenly saw someone who looked like their father, the shock they received would only be more than what they felt now..
