Running To You (2)

Ruan Qingmu didn’t want him to remember what had happened to him in his previous life and he didn’t want him to remember how he had felt when he dug up his remains with his own hands.

It was nice to have everything calm and peaceful, meeting each other accidentally and then slowly progressing together like this.

They could go to university together and work in the same city after graduating.

He would ask him to rent a house together if he didn’t have a girlfriend. If he wanted to get married, he could also be his best man, watching him get married, have children, and give birth to a Little Yuan.

Ah… The hell with being the best man. If Qin Yuan ever got married, he would slip away and never be seen anymore. If he could end it abruptly in his previous life, he could also break it off entirely in this life.

“Ruan Ruan? What are you thinking of?”

Qin Yuan’s voice came from his cell phone and Ruan Qingmu finally snapped out of his sudden daze, secretly screaming “fuck” in his heart.

He stared at Qin Yuan on the phone and suddenly shouted fiercely, “Hey, I want to tell you something!”

Qin Yuan asked, “Mm?”

“If you get married in the future, I won’t be your best man! Let’s agree first. Don’t notify me if you’re getting married. I hate that kind of occasion the most, understand?”

On the other side, Qin Yuan was stunned, the light in his phoenix eyes flashed, but the bloody lines were deeper as he stared intently at Ruan Qingmu.

Only after a long time did he say word by word, his voice calm but firm. “Firstly, I won’t get married. Secondly, if I get married, I will certainly notify you.”

Ruan Qingmu’s heart inexplicably jumped around. He clenched his teeth and was about to say something when a knock came on his room door.

Mu Wanli’s cheerful voice called out from outside, “Mu Mu, come out quickly and eat. After eating, you can continue chatting with your friend.”

Ruan Qingmu hurriedly responded and Qin Yuan smiled from the other side. “Go.”

Ruan Qingmu reluctantly waved at him. “Then, wait for me. After I finish eating, I will accompany you to see the New Year festivities.”

… Qin Yuan leaned back against the bed and sat quietly for a while. Qin Zhufeng’s voice rang out lowly outside the door, “Xiao-Yuan, can I enter?”

Qin Yuan walked over and opened the door for his father, standing calmly. “Dad, I will go downstairs to eat Lunar New Year’s Eve dinner.”

Qin Zhufeng’s face was slightly uncomfortable as he wordlessly entered the door and sat with a sigh.

“Xiao-Yuan, Dad wants to talk to you. Don’t drive me away.”

Qin Yuan’s gaze fell on the several strands of white hair at his temples and he nodded calmly. “Of course.”

Qin Zhufeng was dazed for a moment before he said with difficulty, “The matter today, I don’t know whether Aunty Wei intentionally did it, but I already quarreled with her. She never received any higher education, so don’t argue with her.”

Seeing that Qin Yuan was indifferent, he smiled bitterly in embarrassment. “I didn’t look for anyone to marry for several years after your mom passed away, you know.”

Qin Yuan whispered, “Mm. You were busy with work at that time. But regardless of how busy, you would hurry up to return before ten o’clock, worrying I would be afraid of the dark at home.”

Qin Zhufeng’s eyes slightly reddened. “You were always lonely at home. It wouldn’t be good if there’s no woman in the house to care for and organize things.”

He stared blankly for a moment. “When I looked for a partner to remarry, I was afraid to find someone strong and decisive that would harm you in the future, so I specifically looked for someone like her who isn’t too knowledgeable. Moreover, she said she would care for the ex-wife’s son well and wouldn’t give birth to her own children.”

Qin Yuan shook his head. “It’s not necessary. This will be unfair to her. Moreover, the little sisters are very lovely and Dad also has the right to have another child.”

It was a woman’s right to be a mother and she had merely played the all-too-common trick of securing a marriage to a wealthy and handsome man first and then slowly trying to figure out a plan.

Qin Zhufeng smiled distressingly. Qin Yuan’s words were sensible and had indeed alleviated his worries.

This son was the pride of his life, the apple of his eye and his ex-wife’s, and he had been so soft and sweet as a child. But with his mother’s tragic death, it was as if the boy had gone from a soft little glutinous rice ball to a hard little rock overnight.

He didn’t talk, nor did he play. He just studied every day and was silent and cautious toward his father.

The house was also too cold, so cold that it was suffocating.

As he slowly grew older, he would also want a woman at home who knew how to be gentle and leave a light on for him and would look forward to having a cute and sweet little daughter again to comfort his frequently awakened heart from nightmares.

“Xiao-Yuan, don’t worry. Let alone your Aunty Wei giving birth to daughters, even if she gives birth to a son, all the business and money I make in this life will be yours.” Qin Zhufeng decided to open up his heart for the first time. “I made a promise to your mom, no matter what, I would make her feel at ease in the underworld.”

Qin Yuan listened quietly like a silent statue.
