Chapter 838: Mom, I am Unfilial
Zhuang Long’s words were very pertinent. He was neither biased towards Xiao Li nor Zhuang Qilin. He rationally stood on the sidelines. Even so, Xiao Li could hear the condemnation in his words. She suddenly laughed, which Zhuang Long found strange.
“Then should I apologize to you?” What Zhuang Long had said just now made the same sense to him.
Hearing this, Zhuang Long was speechless for once.
He shook his head, his expression serious. “We can’t say that between us.” He rested his head on Xiao Li’s shoulder, no longer able to smile. “If you really want to apologize, then I should say a hundred apologies to you.” Zhuang Long knew very well who had done more wrong.
He suddenly smiled again. Xiao Li was stunned.
“Of course. If you’re willing to tell me that you love me, I’ll be very happy.”
Xiao Li said, “In your dreams.”
Zhuang Long was not disappointed.
Xiao Li left his embrace and planned to go downstairs to look for Zhuang Qilin.
She had just walked to the door of the room when she suddenly heard Zhuang Long say very softly, “I love you.”
Xiao Li stopped in his tracks.
She smiled and replied, “Then guess if I love you.”
Zhuang Long raised his eyebrows and watched as she turned and walked into the corridor.
Did she love him?
Zhuang Long did not think this was a difficult question.
She loved him. Zhuang Long believed that more than anyone else.
Zhuang Long stood upstairs and watched as Xiao Li walked out of the house. He found Zhuang Qilin on the hillside path behind. Zhuang Qilin had been throwing stones at the oranges with all his might. When he heard Xiao Li’s footsteps, Zhuang Qilin subconsciously threw the stones away and became an obedient child.
Seeing this, Zhuang Long frowned.
Actually, he could be more willful. He didn’t have to pretend to be mature and sensible.
Xiao Li apologized to him very seriously. Zhuang Qilin seemed to be still a little unhappy and refused to forgive her. Xiao Li suddenly raised Zhuang Qilin up high. Zhuang Qilin roared with a red face, “Put me down quickly. I’m already so old, yet you’re still carrying me like this!”
Xiao Li shouted at him, “Then tell me, do you forgive Mom? If you do, Mom will let you down.”
“What if I don’t?”
“Then Mom will keep holding you up.”
These words were clearly false.
Zhuang Qilin was actually a little heavy. Xiao Li would only be able to hold on for a few seconds more before she lost all her strength. However, these words were very effective on Zhuang Qilin. Seeing that his little fairy’s beautiful face was beginning to turn red from overexertion, Zhuang Qilin could not bear to see her like this. He said reluctantly, “Forget it, I’ll forgive you.”
Xiao Li hurriedly put Zhuang Qilin down. She shook her hands and twisted her sexy waist.
Upstairs, Zhuang Long’s gaze swept past Xiao Li’s waist. His eyes darkened and he turned to go downstairs.
After Zhuang Qilin and Xiao Li made up, the two of them walked side by side towards the manor building.
Zhuang Qilin’s anger had dissipated, but the doubts in his heart had not.
He casually pulled out a hard orange and casually tossed it in his hands. “What’s going on between you and Dad?”
Xiao Li subconsciously curved his lips, looking smug and charming.
“We… will probably remarry.”
Hearing this, Zhuang Qilin couldn’t help but smile. “That’s pretty good.” However, when he thought of Zhuang Long’s condition, Zhuang Qilin frowned again. “His illness…”
“Recovered.”
“That’s good!” Zhuang Qilin heaved a sigh of relief.
“Then will the two of you hold a wedding ceremony this time?”
Xiao Li shook his head and said, “That will depend on your father.”
“If he doesn’t give you a wedding, then don’t marry him. Being wronged once is enough. You can’t be wronged for the rest of your life.”
Xiao Li pinched his precious cheek. “Your heart still aches for me.” When she saw Zhuang Long, she gestured for Zhuang Qilin to stop talking about this topic. Zhuang Long stood at the entrance of the dining room, his posture elegant. At this moment, even Zhuang Qilin, this little fellow, felt that his father was quite handsome.
He was quite compatible with his little fairy.
Zhuang Long looked at the two of them and sized them up several times. After confirming that they had really reconciled, he smiled.
The person in front of him was still that familiar face, but when he smiled, it gave off a completely different feeling.
Zhuang Qilin couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
He felt that the father in front of him was even more charming than before.
When Xiao Meng returned from the house next door, Zhuang Long got the servants to serve the dishes.
After the dishes were served, Zhuang Long personally poured a glass of wine for everyone. Zhuang Long prepared a martini for Xiao Li, a glass of fruit wine for Xiao Meng, and a glass of grape red wine for himself. Zhuang Qilin was a child, so he only received a glass of milk.
Zhuang Qilin was a little dissatisfied. He said, “I’m already nine years old. Actually, I can take a sip of wine. It’ll be fine.”
Zhuang Long smiled and rubbed his head. “Say that again when you’re nineteen.”
Zhuang Qilin pursed his lips and didn’t insist.
During dinner tonight, Zhuang Long solemnly changed into a formal suit.
Everyone realized that this meal should be very important.
Zhuang Long poured wine for everyone. Holding his glass of wine, he came to Xiao Meng’s side. Xiao Meng looked at her outstanding son and actually felt a little nervous. “Mom.” The moment he called her Mom, Xiao Meng herself froze for a moment.
Ever since they reunited, Zhuang Long had always addressed her as “you”. When she suddenly heard him call her “Mom”, Xiao Meng almost cried with joy.
She took a deep breath and suppressed the sudden urge to cry.
Zhuang Long stared at his mother’s face. In his memory, his mother still looked young and beautiful.
For a moment, Zhuang Long felt bitter.
He suddenly knelt down in front of Xiao Meng.
Xiao Meng stood up in shock and bent down to help him up. As she helped him up, she said in a panic, “My child, get up! Why did you suddenly kneel down? Everything was fine! Hurry up and get up. Mom doesn’t like you like this.”
No matter what Xiao Meng said, Zhuang Long did not get up this time.
He knelt on the ground, his back straight, as if he had measured it with a ruler.
He called out for his mother again. After he did so, they could all tell that Zhuang Long’s voice was already hoarse. “Mom, it’s been so many years. I’ve been unfilial not to visit you even once.” With that, Zhuang Long kowtowed to Xiao Meng.
Xiao Meng looked at him, at a loss. Her expression was one of panic.
She gave Xiao Li a pleading look.
After some hesitation, Xiao Li did not help Xiao Meng out of the situation.
She understood Zhuang Long. He must have done this because he was filled with guilt towards Xiao Meng.
Zhuang Long looked up and said, “When I was young, I always despised you for being weak and useless. Later on, when you took the blame for me, I understood that it wasn’t because you were weak. It was because of my existence that you had a weakness. You didn’t dare to take the risk with me. For my sake, you were willing to live ignobly But I didn’t understand all of this back then.”
