Free Web NovelChapter 205: Chapter 203: Right to Use the Uterus
With a calm heart, Chu Xijin outwardly put on a heartbroken expression, "How could this happen?"
"If you would be considerate and leave your aunt’s side, it wouldn’t lead to this sort of impact. Otherwise, you’re just delaying your aunt’s lifelong happiness."
"Is that so..."
Chu Xijin’s eyes welled with tears, and his nose reddened with grievance. "Am I really a burden?"
The man pretending to be a classmate’s father nodded, "Enough, I won’t say too much to a child. Whether or not your aunt pursues happiness depends on your actions."
Chu Xijin thanked him.
Numbly turning away, his figure was lonely and desolate, like an abandoned animal.
The man left satisfied.
Chu Xijin’s reddened eyes suddenly became sharp, as he went to the security room, telling the uncle that he had lost something and needed to investigate. Using his watch, he captured the man’s appearance, then thanked the security uncle, "I found it."
"Okay, go back to class."
"Mm-hmm."
Chu Xijin sent the image to a hacker he had met at his aunt’s brother’s banquet, asking her to investigate.
Hackers usually don’t show their faces.
But this lady hacker was a noble heiress and a fan of Xiao Jin, so she straightforwardly revealed her identity.
She was all about freewheeling.
During class, Chu Xijin continued to ponder the man’s words.
Although his words were unreasonable,
they held some truth.
It’s possible that his aunt chose not to have children because of him.
After class, returning home, Chu Xijin heard the sound of games echoing in the quiet living room.
"Double Kill——"
"Triple Kill——"
"Legendary——"
Chu Xijin walked in to see his aunt lying on the sofa, "Auntie, did you leave work early today?"
"Mm, tonight we’re going out for hot pot." Mu Ran said, feeling a bit depressed, so she decided to leave work a few hours early to treat herself to hot pot.
Chu Xijin sat beside her and peeled an orange, "Auntie, how many kids will you have in the future?"
"None."
Mu Ran replied, her words muffled by the orange.
Chu Xijin’s heart sank, surprised that what the man said was true. "Aunt, you’ve taken care of me for so long; if you have kids in the future, I can help you raise them."
Mu Ran’s eyes instantly lifted, narrowing slightly. She curled her fingers, tapping his forehead, "Are you dumb? Raising kids, right now, everything you do isn’t any less meaningful than raising kids. If you like siblings, you can occasionally play with Wenwen and your sister, right?"
"What about you?"
Chu Xijin was still afraid he was delaying his aunt’s happiness.
If that were the case, he would feel very guilty, thinking his existence had harmed his aunt.
Mu Ran put down her phone, seating herself cross-legged to face him, "What about me, do I have to have kids?"
"No, I didn’t mean that." Chu Xijin waved his hand, slightly panicked.
"Then what do you mean?" Mu Ran countered.
"I... I’m just afraid I’m delaying you." Chu Xijin bit his lip and confessed the truth.
He had promised his aunt he wouldn’t hide anything from her and needed to keep his word.
Mu Ran thought of a former classmate who lived under someone else’s roof at his uncle’s house. In the past, his uncle had no children and treated him like a treasure, but when his uncle had kids, he felt like a weed.
They sat together at that time.
Mu Ran remembered his words, "When my uncle had kids, I was happier than anyone, but when they truly had kids, I felt worse than anyone. The home I thought was mine no longer felt like it."
Since then, the once upbeat and lively child became silent, carefully trying to please everyone.
Over the years, Mu Ran hadn’t seen the old classmate, only heard about him two years ago, that he was desperately repaying debts.
The money was not only for living expenses from his uncle but also for upbringing.
Mu Ran looked at the child in front of her, unsure what he encountered today, thinking about the future, and speaking about helping her raise kids.
She sighed lightly.
Breaking apart an orange slice, she fed it to Xiao Jin, "To me, my womb’s usage doesn’t depend on whom I marry, nor on what others think. My womb, my body, I have the right to use it. The idea that you come, and I don’t have kids has never existed; moreover, I have money, I don’t need anyone to care for me in old age. Above all, I’m grateful for your arrival; your existence makes me feel the heavens have been too kind to me. In my lonely and helpless childhood, they gifted me a warm and strong sister along my growth path. After growing cold-hearted, they gifted me a lovely and kind-hearted child, Xiao Jin. Don’t feel burdened. To me, you are heaven-sent, understand?" frёewebηovel.cѳm
People’s energy is limited.
Mu Ran doesn’t believe she won’t love her own children.
She also doesn’t believe Xiao Jin won’t treat the baby even better.
On the contrary,
considering Xiao Jin’s affection-starved nature, he likely would be willing to give everything for a baby.
Mu Ran doesn’t want that outcome.
She loves Xiao Jin.
She hopes he receives plenty of affection.
Of course, her firm decision not to have children is certainly not only because of Xiao Jin; Mu Ran is extremely afraid of pain, very afraid.
This really is the reason.
The most important reason too!
"I..."
Chu Xijin’s eyes reddened for real this time, his voice slightly choked up.
"What are you guys doing?"
Breaking the mood was Xiao Yu’an, finally waking up, attaching himself to Mu Ran, "How come you got back so early? Why didn’t you wake me up?"
Mu Ran was hugged by him, venting her frustration by ruffling his face, "I find you annoying, tonight you’re paying for hot pot!"
"You said you’d take care of me before." Xiao Yu’an shamelessly replied.
"Regretting it now. Got a problem!" Mu Ran raised an eyebrow.
Xiao Yu’an chuckled, "No problem, whatever you say goes."
Chu Xijin wanted to explode.
He suddenly found uncle annoying; the tender moment was ruined by him.
Xiao Yu’an sensed Xiao Jin’s resentful gaze but didn’t mind, "When are we going?"
"Change clothes with Xiao Jin, let me finish a round of gaming, then we’ll go."
Xiao Yu’an and Xiao Jin obediently complied.
Once changed, the three went out for hot pot, Chu Xijin requested a leave from his aunt, "Auntie, Xiao Miao is in a sports event, I’ll accompany her first."
"Sure, but you can only freely take leave in kindergarten; after primary school, you can’t."
Mu Ran showed little respect for kindergarten but had for primary school.
"Can I skip straight to middle school and take a leave then?" Chu Xijin posed an earnest question.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough... " Mu Ran choked, such a brilliant remark made her a school failure feel extremely envious. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Xiao Yu’an patted her back.
Xiao Jin quickly poured water.
