Chapter 522: Chapter 354 Xunxun is My Son_3
Murong Qian was certain: “To me, Xunxun is more important than anything. I would rather be expelled from the family home, forsake my place as the Murong family’s successor, than be separated from Xunxun!”
“You——”
Gu Qian was so angry with her, she, in a fit of fury, slapped her across the face.
The crisp “slap” echoed clearly in the confined car cabin.
Instantly, Murong Qian’s pale face turned fiery red as she hissed in pain and teared up.
“I’m sorry!”
Covering the side of her face that was throbbing with pain, she apologized through her tears, “I have failed as a daughter, I just hope you will agree!”
“You——”
A stinging sensation hit Gu Qian’s chest, “Murong Qian, are you really willing to abandon your parents for an illegitimate child?”
“I will get married, I will get married immediately, then Xunxun will not be an illegitimate child. Is this a feasible plan?”
“…”
“Mom——”
“Who are you planning to marry? That Lu fellow?”
After Gu Qian finished speaking, she glanced back and found that, the white Ferrari was nowhere to be seen.
Murong Qian didn’t notice this and nodded earnestly: “Yes! I love him! He is Xunxun’s biological father.”
“You’re saying he is Xunxun’s…”
“Yes! We broke up due to a misunderstanding four years ago, but now we’re back together. Mom, Lu Cong is a good man, you’ll definitely like him. I’m just asking you to keep this a secret for me for a while, I promise I’ll get married as quickly as possible.”
As long as she could marry Lu Cong, Xunxun would no longer bear the title of “illegitimate child,” and the Murong family would no longer disown her.
But all of this required her parent’s consent.
Gu Qian narrowed her eyebrows, and remained silent.
“Mom…”
“Let me think about it.”
Gu Qian waved her off, preventing her from saying anything else.
Perhaps it was due to a mystic connection of blood, but when she first set eyes on the little boy while meeting with Murong Qian today, she immediately fell in love with him.
If she could, would she really bear to let such a well-behaved grandson be adopted by the second family of the Murong clan?
She had no other choice.
As for Murong Qian’s proposal…
It seemed like a reasonable solution.
“Here’s what we’ll do, I will take Xunxun back to A Nation first, and after discussing it with your father, I’ll let you know.”
Finally, Gu Qian’s attitude has softened a bit.
At last, Murong Qian burst into a smile, “Really? That’s great, thank you, mommy.”
In her joy, she rushed over and hugged Gu Qian tightly.
Gu Qian was at a loss for words, she sighed exasperatedly, “Alright, now find a café. I want to have a chat with Mr. Lu.”
“Ok, sure.”
Murong Qian bobbed her head, nodding vigorously.
Then, she carefully reminded, “He doesn’t know about Xunxun being his son yet. I hope you can keep this a secret for me too. I’ll find an appropriate time to tell him.”
“You… you really… forget it, I don’t want to see him anymore. Bring him to A Nation once you’ve talked things out. As for Xunxun, he’s at the hotel right now. I’ll take him back to the country in a bit.”
Murong Qian: “…”
————
True to her word, Gu Qian had the steward drop Murong Qian on the side of the road and drove away.
Watching the Rolls-Royce disappear into the distance, Murong Qian looked somewhat dazed.
“Qianqian——”
Lu Cong parked his convertible on the side of the road, unbuckled his seatbelt, and jumped out of the car.
“Sorry, I am late. There was a small accident. A child suddenly ran onto the road. Thankfully, I managed to brake in time and didn’t hit anyone.”
Murong Qian shifted her gaze towards him. Seeing that he was unharmed, she let out a quiet sigh of relief.
“Why are you on the side of the road? Where is your aunt?”
Lu Cong rested his hands on her shoulders, looking concerned.
Something seemed off about her. Could it be her family didn’t approve of him and forced her to break up with him?
Lu Cong felt a jolt in his heart.
“My mom went back to A Nation. She took Xunxun with her.”
Murong Qian clenched her fists, attempting to stay calm.
“Oh,” Lu Cong responded, taking her hand. “Shall we go back then? Okay?”
“Okay.”
Murong Qian nodded slightly, allowing him to guide her to the front of the car.
Lu Cong, being the gentleman, opened the passenger’s side door for her to sit down and promptly buckled her seat belt for her.
As he made his way around the car to the driver’s seat and had just fastened his seatbelt when he heard Murong Qian say, “Lu Cong, let’s register for marriage tomorrow?”
Lu Cong: “????”
“Why the hurry?”
He was puzzled.
Murong Qian bit her lip, not knowing how to begin to explain it to him.
What if he finds out about Xunxun’s existence, gets angry at her, and calls off the marriage? Now what?
Seeing Murong Qian lowering her eyes in silence, Lu Cong thought that it had something to do with Murong’s family denying their marriage, his eyes darkened and he said firmly: “Qianqian, I will work harder to make your family accept me. Don’t worry.”
“The problem is not with them, the problem is with Xunxun.”
“Xunxun?”
Lu Cong was even more confused.
That little rascal, would he really have the authority to decide for Murong Qian?
Murong Qian swallowed, then tested the waters, “Do you like Xunxun?”
