Chapter 269 - 269: Help Me Win Over Your Mother
He looked at his father, his face filled with doubt.
Feng Tianlan remained indifferent.
“Yuanxi, do you want to go with him or come back with me?” Gu Qingluan asked Feng Yuanxi, her head lowered.
Feng Yuanxi bit his lower lip, hesitating.
Of course, he wanted to go with his mother, but the future described by his father was tempting.
Could his father really fulfill his wishes?
“Little Yuanxi?” Not hearing a response from Feng Yuanxi, Gu Qingluan’s initial confidence suddenly vanished, and her heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Yuanxi was about to leave?
In a moment, Feng Yuanxi asked in a soft voice, “Mother, can I leave for a little while?”
Gu Qingluan felt disappointed. “Don’t you care about me anymore?”
Feng Yuanxi quickly denied, “Of course not, Yuanxi likes mother, and wants mother!”
Seeing his anxious appearance, Gu Qingluan’s heart softened.
Although Feng Yuanxi had chosen his father between her and Feng Tianlan, she could understand. After all, the man was his biological father, and their bond was deep. She had decided to be a good mother and not make things difficult for Feng Yuanxi.
She gently touched Feng Yuanxi’s head with her hand. “Go with him, and come find me in the Jun Residence whenever you miss me.”
“Yes, yes, Mother, 1’11 be back soon!” Feng Yuanxi assured her.
“Good!” Gu Qingluan smiled.
She watched as Feng Tianlan held Feng Yuanxi’s hand and left. A hint of sadness appeared on her face.
“Don’t be sad, Mother. You still have Xiaonan!” Gu Xiaonan gave her a hug.
As she smelled the milky scent on her youngest son, Gu Qingluan’s mood improved slightly, though not as much as before. She returned to the Jun Residence with Xiaonan.
“Miss Gu!”
Just as they reached the entrance, someone rushed out.
Gu Qingluan focused her gaze and looked. “Young Master Lu, why are you here?”
Her gaze shifted and she looked towards the side of Lu Bainian, then smiled and greeted, “Xiaoyu, you’re here too! Long time no see!”
“Fairy Sister! Long time no see. I’ve missed you!” Lu Siyu said sweetly.
Gu Xiaonan curiously sized her up.
Sensing his gaze, Lu Siyu turned to look at him, her eyes lighting up. “Beautiful big brother!”
It was the first time Gu Xiaonan had been praised by such a young girl, and he felt a hint of shyness. “You… you’re cute too!”
Gu Qingluan laughed. “Let’s go inside and talk.”
“Royal Father, please tell me quickly, how can 1 be with mother forever?” On the way back, Feng Yuanxi asked eagerly.
Feng Tianlan glanced at him with a lowered head. “It’s very simple. As long as I marry her.”
Feng Yuanxi’s disappointment was evident as he pouted. “Mother doesn’t like you, so she won’t marry you. Saying it is just futile.”
Veins pulsed on Feng Tianlan’s forehead. He didn’t need his son to emphasize this fact, and there was also…
“It’s only temporary.”
Feng Yuanxi pursed his lips, showing disbelief.
Seeing his son’s expression, Feng Tianlan furrowed his brows unhappily and sternly rebuked, “Feng Yuanxi, do you think this is just my personal problem? Look at what you’ve done. Not only have you not helped, but you’ve also hindered your father! If you had been of assistance, your mother wouldn’t be so averse to your father!”
Feng Yuanxi’s eyelashes trembled slightly.
An inexplicable sense of guilt washed over him!
Feng Tianlan asked him, “During these days you stayed with her, did you say anything positive for me?”
Feng Yuanxi slightly pursed his lips and directed his gaze toward the ground, his voice carrying a faint tone, “I mentioned a few things…”
“It’s likely you got swayed by their words right?”
Feng Yuanxi remained silent.
His silence meant Feng Tianlan had guessed correctly.
Feng Tianlan had anticipated it.
This lad was the type to favor his mother over his father once he had her.
With a serious tone, he asked, “Do you truly want our family to be together?”
“Of course!”
He wished for it even in his dreams!
“Are you sure?”
“Yes!”
“Good!” Feng Tianlan stopped and crouched in front of him. “Then, will you help me win over your mother?”
Feng Yuanxi nodded earnestly. “I will!”
A faint smile tugged at Feng Tianlan’s lips as he ruffled the boy’s hair. “Good boy.. Now, tell me, what does your mother like?”
