Chapter 1205 She is not simple
Shen Pingting thought for a long time before answering accurately: "In an underground boxing ring, it was at least half a year ago. It was a long time ago, but I can remember it."
Underground boxing ring is a very niche term. It seems to be in a different world from Lu Xi’s life, at least it is something she can never come into contact with.
"Mu Cheng's presence in a place like that proves that even if she can't fight, she's definitely not an ordinary person, right?"
Shen Pingting nodded, "Well, she is not simple."
This is Shen Tingting's most intuitive feeling. Killers can always smell each other's scent. Although Mu Cheng does not have any bloody smell, he is definitely not a good person.
"Okay, I got it." Lu Xi agreed. The two sisters did not continue the topic and quickly hung up the phone.
Fu Nanzhou was right next to them just now, so he naturally heard it as well, and his handsome face was also covered with solemnity.
Seven years have passed, and Mu Cheng had never shown up before, but recently came to Haohao's side. It's hard not to be suspicious.
Lu Xi took a deep breath and said hesitantly, "Husband, you say...should we remind Qin Lang? It's hard to say, right?"
Fu Nanzhou hummed solemnly, "I'll let Liangchuan talk to him."
They are not that close to Qin Lang. If it were Pei Shaoqing or Jiang Yizhou, they would have no scruples. However, Qin Lang grew up in Jiangcheng, and Fu Nanzhou got to know Qin Lang through Ji Liangchuan, so some things were not convenient to say.
Qin Lang is kind, but also very wise. He already knows what Ji Liangchuan is thinking.
"Don't worry, I know."
Ji Liangchuan lowered his head and lit a cigarette, "What are you going to do?"
Qin Lang knew he was talking about Mu Cheng. Since Haohao's biological mother had been found, the child must want to be with his mother.
Qin Lang smiled bitterly, a little confused, "I don't know either."
After a pause, Qin Lang looked at him again, "If it were you, what would you do?"
Ji Liangchuan took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Don't compare with me. We have different personalities. I didn't like Shen Pingting before, so I resisted getting married. Now I like her and want to marry her more than anyone else. Together we can give Xiaochuan a complete family. I am considering myself.
"The key lies in your thoughts, and it also depends on what the other person thinks. I think she has a similar personality to Shen Pingting, and she is probably not someone who will compromise for the sake of the child, so you should think it over carefully."
Qin Lang's heart moved slightly, and the words "a bit like Shen Pingting" created ripples in his heart.
Yes, she is somewhat similar to Shen Pingting, which makes him think that maybe this is also good.
Qin Lang didn’t quite understand the so-called “stand-in” before, but now he seems to understand. Because he can’t get it, he wants to get some kind of comfort and sustenance from others.
After Ji Liangchuan left, Qin Lang also returned to the villa.
Mu Cheng was in Haohao's room. The door was open and the mother and son were sitting on the bed reading a picture book.
Qin Lang did not venture to go in, but stood outside the door and looked at the two of them.
The little guy who usually goes to bed at 9 o'clock is not asleep yet. He looks sleepy but is still trying hard to keep his eyelids open.
Qin Lang wanted to talk to Mu Cheng alone, so he knocked on the door and said as he walked in, "Haohao, it's time to go to bed. It's almost ten o'clock."
Haohao rubbed his eyes and said, "Dad, I'm not sleepy yet. Can I play with Mom for a while longer?"
"I can't even open my eyes, how can you not be sleepy?" Qin Lang found it a little funny. Haohao used to be very well behaved. When he was told it was time to go to bed, he would go wash up immediately. This was the first time he resisted.
Haohao still didn't move, "Dad, I don't want to sleep, can I not sleep for now?"
Qin Lang sighed, "You're afraid that if you fall asleep, your mother will disappear, right?"
He is Haohao's father, how could he not know what his son is thinking?
Haohao's eyes widened, and finally he lowered his head and replied sullenly, "Yeah."
Qin Lang felt a pain in his heart again. He walked to the bed with his long legs, picked him up and said, "Don't worry, Mom won't leave this time. Even if she leaves, Dad will definitely find her."
Knowing a person's name and ID number will make it easier to find him or her.
"Then can I sleep with my mother?" Haohao still wanted to sleep with his mother. Although this mother was not gentle and although he had never seen this mother before, she was his biological mother, Haohao's own mother, not Xiaochuan's or anyone else's, but Haohao's, the one who gave birth to Haohao.
Qin Lang looked at Mu Cheng and asked politely, "Miss Mu, do you mind..."
"do not mind."
"I'm glad you don't mind. One more thing, please allow me to stay here. After all, this is the first time we meet today. As a father, I can't leave Haohao alone with you, even if you are his biological mother."
Qin Lang spoke calmly, not hiding his guard at all.
Tan Mucheng frowned, obviously disliking it, but she could also understand Qin Lang.
Looking at it from another perspective, this also shows that Qin Lang cares about Haohao and he is a good father.
"Please."
After saying this, Tan Mucheng took Haohao's hand to brush their teeth and wash their face, and then they lay down on the bed together.
She supported her chin with one hand, lay on her side, and her eyes fell on Haohao's little face.
"Mom, can you pat me?" Haohao asked shyly.
A child of this age does not need to be patted or coaxed when sleeping, and may even not need anyone to accompany him, but Haohao wants his mother to pat him.
Tan Mucheng did not refuse and patted him gently.
Haohao tried hard to keep his eyelids open, wanting to imprint his mother's face in his mind, but he was so sleepy that he fell asleep before even three minutes had passed.
Tan Mucheng looked at her son quietly, with an indescribable feeling in her heart, as if she was filled with something, soft, tender, and even... warm.
Qin Lang had many questions in his mind and was eager to know the answers, but he did not disturb Mu Cheng.
It’s strange to say, although the woman in front of them was such a stranger to him and his son, it seemed that they were not that resistant to her. This was true for Haohao and for him as well.
Qin Lang just looked at the two people on the bed. Time passed by minute by minute, and they could hear each other's breathing in the quiet room.
After making sure that Haohao was soundly asleep, Tan Mucheng withdrew her gaze and got up from the bed with quick but light movements.
Qin Lang narrowed his eyes slightly. It felt so light and fast, which was very strange.
"Do we want to talk outside or here?" Tan Mucheng asked.
Qin Lang glanced at his sleeping son, "Let's talk about it here. Haohao doesn't sleep well, and he's very sensitive. He keeps things to himself, and wakes up easily every time. Before, he mistook Shen Pingting, Xiaochuan's biological mother, as his own mother, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep. Later, he found out it was a misunderstanding, and he always woke up crying in the middle of the night, and it took many days to get better."
Qin Lang said these words to Mu Cheng on purpose. He just wanted to let Mu Cheng know that Haohao missed his mother very much.
Tan Mucheng felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart, and it hurt slightly. Ever since she gave birth to Haohao, she had deliberately ignored the child's situation, thinking that as long as she didn't contact him and didn't care, the child would not become her weakness, and she would not be targeted because of her and be in danger.
Tan Mucheng thought that this was right and that she had done a good job, but the reality was that all indestructible fortresses were easily destroyed and vulnerable to a single blow.
"Then let's talk about it here."
"Ms. Mu, since you remember what happened back then and can recognize at a glance that Haohao is our child, then I want to ask you, where have you been all these years? Why haven't you come to see Haohao? Why did you show up today?"
