Mo Yichen didn’t know what to do and felt heart-broken when he saw his son crying like this. Mo Xiangyan had been an obedient child since he was born and never lost control of his emotions like this.

Mo Yichen leaned down and wiped Mo Xiangyan’s tears. But Mo Xiangyan still kept crying. Mo Yichen tried to comfort Mo Xiangyan and make Xiangyan calm down, so that Xiangyan could listen to him. However, Mo Xiangyan ignored him completely and just kept crying.

Mo Yichen was panicked. He had never seen his son being like this. Was it wrong to tell Xiangyan the truth?

“I didn’t lie to you. Aunt Yan is not your aunt. She is your mother. She gave birth to you after ten months’ pregnancy. Both dad and mom love you. You have a mother who is better than anyone. If she knows you are crying, she will be sad and cry with you.”

Mo Yichen raised his voice a little since it didn’t work to comfort Mo Xiangyan in a soft voice. He did not know that it was his loud voice had an effect or Mo Xiangyan understood his words.

Mo Xiangyan kept sobbing but stopped crying. He stared at Mo Yichen’s eyes and wanted to know whether he was lying or not.

Mo Yichen didn’t avoid the eye contact and also looked at Xiangyan. Finally, Xiangyan stopped sobbing after a few minutes. He said, “Aunt Yan isn’t my aunt but my mom?”

Mo Yichen looked directly into Xiangyan’s eyes and nodded solemnly, “She is your mother.”

“Why doesn’t mom live with us? Is it because my grandma dislikes her?” Mo Xiangyan couldn’t understand why he could only live with his dad and grandma, while other children could live with their parents. And even his mother couldn’t be his mother aboveboard.

He remembered when his grandma mentioned Gu Yan before, his grandma spoke in a vicious tone. Even if he didn’t understand what his grandma said, he knew that his grandma certainly disliked Gu Yan and didn’t want Gu Yan to be his mother.

“Mom can’t be with us because dad also has to listen to my grandma, right?” Mo Xiangyan’s small face puckered. He tilted his head and looked very confused. He asked, “Is it because my grandma hates my mom? Why doesn’t my grandma like mom? Is my mom disobedient?”

Mo Yichen looked at Xiangyan’s small face that was much like that of Gu Yan. But the questions that Xiangyan proposed were too difficult to answer. “It’s not because your grandma doesn’t like your mom. Your grandma just has some misunderstandings about your mom.” Mo Yichen said.

“You also had a misunderstanding with your classmate just now, right? He thought you don’t have mother but you have, so you had a misunderstanding with each other, right?” Mo Yichen seemed to know Mo Xiangyan was confused, so he enlightened Xiangyan with what happened just now, “If you go to school with your mom next time, he will know that what you drew is your mom.”

“In this way, our misunderstanding can be cleared up, right?” Mo Xiangyan interrupted Mo Yichen excitedly. He understood his dad’s words.

Mo Yichen nodded to show that Xiangyan was right.

“Can the misunderstandings between my grandma and my mom be solved?” It seemed that Mo Xiangyan thought of something and wanted to get the guarantee from his father.

“Sure. Your grandma will like your mom as much as she likes you if you help your mom.” Mo Yichen was glad because he knew that his mother, Li Yunhong, attached great importance to Xiangyan. As long as Xiangyan could help, it would be not difficult to let Li Yunhong like Gu Yan.

“But why don’t you and my mom get married?” Mo Yichen thought that this matter was finished, but unexpectedly, Mo Xiangyan asked another tough question.

“Ah…” Mo Yichen was anxious and began to sweat. He hoped that Xiangyan could ask more questions before, but now he felt so embarrassed when he faced those questions.

Mo Yichen thought twice. He must give a reasonable answer to maintain his image of a good father and Gu Yan’s image of a good mother. Could Xiangyan, a child, understand the grudge between adults?

“Because your mom is very naughty, and she wants me to prove that I care about her. And she plays hide-and-seek with me, so I should try to find your mom and catch her. And then we can always be together. You have to help dad. Do you know that?” Mo Yichen couldn’t tell the past events between him and Gu Yan to his child, so he just said briefly.

Mo Xiangyan didn’t understand that completely, but he still nodded firmly. He also decided to try his best to help his father. He thought, “Dad doesn’t catch my mom after five years, so I must do something now.”

But Mo Xiangyan wouldn’t say this to Mo Yichen. Otherwise, Mo Yichen must be upset because his self-esteem was damaged. As a man, Mo Xiangyan knew how important the dignity was, so he also should maintain his dad’s dignity.

Mo Yichen couldn’t help laughing when he saw Mo Xiangyan pretend to be serious. This was the child of him and Gu Yan. Mo Xiangyan was the loveliest and the most sensible child in the world.

However, Mo Yichen had to correct his attitude when he thought what happened today. He put off to solve the things between him and Gu Yan. It had brought a lot of harm to Mo Xiangyan invisibly. It was not a good way to conceal the truth from Mo Xiangyan. Now the matter was almost solved because Xiangyan had known the truth and also accepted it.

The next trouble was his mother. Mo Yichen shook his head when he thought his mother’s stubbornness and persistence. It was so difficult to let her accept it. He must brainwash his son into helping him. It was the serious matter for him to marry Gu Yan and enjoy their life together.

“You need to praise your mom often in front of your grandmother. If we have the support of your grandmother, it will be half done that we bring your mom back home.” Mo Yichen touched Mo Xiangyan’s little head. Xiangyan’s hair was in a mess after crying.

Mo Yichen stood up and shook his numb legs because of long-time squatting. And then he said to Mo Xiangyan, “Although it was wrong for that child to say you don’t have mom, you couldn’t fight with him. A gentleman should reason things out rather than resort to force.”

“I see, dad. I will apologize to him.” Mo Xiangyan lowered his head and really realized his mistake. After hearing his dad’s words, he felt ashamed. As a man, he not only fought with others, but also cried.

When Mo Yichen saw Xiangyan’s ashamed face, he knew that Xiangyan had realized his mistake. So, he no longer blamed Xiangyan.

Mo Yichen wiped Mo Xiangyan’s face with a wet tissue and smoothed his rumpled clothes. Now Mo Xiangyan didn’t have any worries. He was a more lovely boy with bright eyes and red little mouth. Everyone would love him. He was so cute that he deserved the best things in the world, and anyone couldn’t bear if he was treated wrongly.
