Chapter 412 Reason and Emotion

Before that, Mu Qian once thought that Huo Qiran's mood should have stabilized when facing Cheng Manshu.

Even if he kept silent because of Cheng Manshu, after all, he could face Cheng Manshu after all. Even when Huo Jinxi took him back to the Huo family mansion, he didn't show excessive uneasiness.

But Mu Qian didn't expect that his unexpected encounter with Cheng Manshu today would make him emotionally unstable.

Mu Qian thought that Huo Qiran probably became overly dependent on her after she stayed with him.

Because before the age of six, Huo Qiran had never enjoyed the feeling of being so dependent on someone. After Mu Qian appeared, especially after knowing that Mu Qian was his biological mother, he did not hesitate to give his full trust to Mu Qian.

Probably to make up for the lack of sense of security before the age of six.

This kind of dependence allowed him to completely relax, forget his previous defenses and fears, and completely return to the mentality that a child should have.

It was precisely because of this that the sudden encounter with Cheng Manshu made his old fear resurface and caused such a big impact.

He has become accustomed to a safe and comfortable environment, and it would be unbearable for him to suddenly return to his previous state of mind.

But the more this happened, the more Mu Qian felt distressed.

In the past, it was she who owed this child so much that led to his current appearance and mentality.

And from now on, she will never allow anyone to hurt him even a little bit.

Although Huo Qiran was full of fear, Mu Qian's presence still successfully comforted him.

He lay on Mu Qian's shoulder, sobbing sadly for a while, and then gradually calmed down.

He slowly raised his head and looked at Mu Qian, whose eyes were red with tears, and he did not forget to reach out his hand to wipe Mu Qian's eyes.

Mu Qian almost burst into tears, but in the end she just smiled and said, "Mom is fine. Are you still scared?"

Huo Qiran shook his head gently.

Mu Qian responded, and then said: "As long as mom is here, grandma won't dare to hurt you again. Mom won't let grandma hurt you again, you know?"

Huo Qiran nodded and lay on Mu Qian's shoulder again.

After a while, Mu Qian walked out of the bathroom with Huo Qiran in her arms.

When she returned to the previous dining table, Cheng Manshu and her friends had disappeared.

Huo Qiran lay motionless on her shoulder. Mu Qian knew that he would not be able to eat if he stayed here any longer, so he quickly paid the bill and took Qi Ran back to the Huo family's old house.

When I got home, my aunt couldn't help but laugh when she looked at the pile of shopping bags that the driver took out of the car. "Mother and son were so happy shopping today. They actually bought so many things..."

When she looked up, her aunt noticed that Mu Qian's expression was not right, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Mu Qian walked in with Huo Qiran in her arms. She did not answer the question at first, but said: "Auntie, please cook some beef porridge for Qi Ran. He didn't eat well at night. I'm afraid he will be hungry later."

After hearing this, the aunt nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Mu Qian then put Huo Qiran down, looked at Huo Qiran sitting quietly on the sofa, stretched out her hand and touched his head, "Is there anything else you want to eat?"

Huo Qiran shook his head obediently.

Mu Qian smiled and said, "Okay, mom will drink porridge with you later."

After saying that, Mu Qian stood up and was about to go to the bathroom to twist a hot towel and wipe Huo Qiran's face. Who knew that as soon as she stood up, Huo Qiran immediately grabbed her sleeves and stood up, as if he was afraid that she would leave.

appearance.

Mu Qian couldn't help but pause, and the next moment, she picked up Huo Qiran and walked into the bathroom together.

That night, Huo Qiran was always clinging to Mu Qian, unwilling to leave her even for a second.

Mu Qian finished the porridge with him and quickly took him upstairs to take a bath and go to bed.

Huo Qiran usually goes to bed at a very precise time, and usually falls asleep soon after lying on the bed, but today he was lying in Mu Qian's arms, but he kept tossing and turning, and had no tendency to fall asleep for a long time.

Mu Qian patted his back and hummed softly.

I don't know how long it took before Huo Qiran finally fell asleep, but his little hand still held Mu Qian's pajamas.

Compared to Huo Qiran, Mu Qian couldn't sleep even more.

She just lay there quietly, looking at Huo Qiran's restless sleeping face without moving, until there was a slight sound of a car outside.

Mu Qian picked up her phone and checked the time.

It was already half past one in the morning when Huo Jinxi came back.

Mu Qian still didn't move, just lying on the bed and listening to the sound.

Not long after, Huo Jinxi went upstairs and stopped at the door of this room.

Then, the door was pushed open.

As the light poured in from the corridor, Huo Jinxi slowly walked into the room and sat down by the bed.

Mu Qian suddenly turned to look at him.

Huo Jinxi glanced at her, and then his eyes fell on Huo Qiran.

He stretched out his hand to explore Huo Qiran's forehead. He felt that the temperature was normal, then he gently touched Huo Qiran's face and said in a low voice: "Did you scare him today?"

When Mu Qian heard this, she knew why he came back so late.

It was probably not only Huo Qiran but also Cheng Manshu who was frightened today, so he went to the mansion.

Mu Qian said "hmm" in a low voice and said nothing else.

Huo Jinxi was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand to cover Mu Qian's hand that was on Huo Qiran.

Mu Qian suddenly retracted her hand.

Huo Jinxi paused and whispered, "Are you blaming me?"

It took a while before she heard Mu Qian's answer: "I know I can't blame you. You have been very good to Qi Ran. You have done everything you can do - this is the answer my reason tells me."

"Yeah." After hearing this, Huo Jinxi was quiet for a moment and then said, "What about emotionally?"

Mu Qian gritted her teeth and said slowly: "The reason why Qi Ran was frightened and became like this is because you failed to protect him."

Therefore, she still blamed him in her heart.

This is probably the reality and selfishness of human nature——

When Huo Qiran was just the son of Huo Jinxi, Mu Qian felt that his father had done a good job, at least from his point of view, he had done his best;

But when Huo Qiran became her and his son, Mu Qian only felt that he had not done well enough. Even if he could do a little more, maybe Qiran could avoid the current aphasia.

After a long time, Huo Jinxi finally took Mu Qian's hand and put it to his lips.

"I'm sorry." he said.
