Chapter 379 A Sweet Dream
After receiving Chu Lingfeng's unhesitating answer, Murong Ling'er fell into a long silence.
She knew in her heart that the three conditions she proposed were almost harsh, even extremely mean.
But she really had no choice. She had no interest in matters of love between men and women, and she didn't want to get involved in disputes between wives and concubines. In order for Chen'er to have a stable and smooth future, she could only throw the problem to the person in front of her who pushed the matter to a desperate situation.
As the two of them made concessions, the tense atmosphere that was originally tense and ready to explode gradually eased.
The room was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.
After sitting quietly for a while, Murong Ling'er saw that Chu Lingfeng had no intention of leaving. Suddenly, the image of Liu Yuyan and her son appeared in her mind. With a thought in her mind, she asked, "How do you plan to accommodate Liu Yuyan and her son?"
When Chu Lingfeng heard this question, he thought of the details he had investigated before and felt that there was no need to hide it from Murong Ling'er, so he told her everything about Liu Yuyan's life.
"Liu Yuyan was originally the daughter of Liu Huaishu, the Minister of Works. After Liu Huaishu was implicated in a major fraud case in Jiangnan, the Liu family fell into decline. The men were exiled to the frontier, and the women were sold into slavery."
"Later, Liu Yuyan became a dealer in an underground casino. My fourth brother met her there and they became friends. Chu Yuting is my fourth brother's orphan, which is why he looks so much like me."
At this point, Chu Lingfeng saw Murong Ling'er's calm expression and worried she wouldn't believe him, so he hurriedly added, "When the Liu family fell, I was already in trouble and imprisoned by the witch. It's impossible for me to have any connection with Liu Yuyan. My fourth brother and I both inherited our father's looks, so Chu Yuting and I look alike. From the beginning to the end, I only have you as a woman and Xiaochen as a son in my heart."
Murong Ling'er listened quietly, her expression remaining calm.
In fact, ever since she regained her memory of that night on Xuefeng Mountain, she was certain that there could be no connection between Liu Yuyan and Chu Lingfeng.
After all, Chu Lingfeng was in the distant Xuefeng Mountain at that time, and Liu Yuyan was still trapped in the Kyoto prison. How could they have any intersection since they were from different places?
"As for Liu Yuyan and her son, they are inextricably linked to my fourth brother. Chu Yuting is my fourth brother's only blood relative, so I can't just sit back and watch."
Chu Lingfeng frowned slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes. "It seems that there are other troubles involved with them. I'll find time to have a good talk with Liu Yuyan and make a decision after I understand the situation clearly."
Although Chu Lingfeng was anxious to give Murong Ling'er and Murong Chen a legitimate status so that they could return to him openly, he also understood that the matter of Liu Yuyan and her son could not be dealt with hastily. He could only suppress his anxiety and properly resolve this difficult problem first.
……
This night passed quietly with a silent undercurrent.
Soon, it was daybreak! Murong Chen had no idea what was going on. As soon as the sky was light and the first ray of sunlight hadn't yet fully penetrated the room, he jumped out of bed in excitement, not even bothering to put on his shoes, and hurried to see Murong Ling'er.
"Mom, where is my dad?" Murong Chen shouted as he ran, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement.
In fact, he hardly slept last night. His heart was filled with joy and he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. He was always worried that this sudden happiness was just a dream, so as soon as he dozed off for a while, he couldn't wait to run to confirm it as soon as the sun rose, for fear that this happiness would disappear in an instant.
Murong Ling'er stood by the window, looking out with a complicated expression, thinking to herself that since she had reached an agreement with Chu Lingfeng, she could no longer stop Chen'er from getting close to him. However, the current situation was delicate, and this matter must not be made public too early.
"Chen'er, come here, mother has something to tell you." Murong Ling'er called softly.
Murong Chen skipped to his mother's side and asked in confusion, "Mom, what's the matter?"
Murong Linger stroked his head gently and said slowly: "There are some things you need to know about Uncle Chu." She paused, and then told Murong Chen the situation of Liu Yuyan and her son, and the truth that Chu Yuting was not a descendant of the Chu family.
"What? Chu Yuting isn't my father's son?" Murong Chen's eyes widened in disbelief, and then he jumped up excitedly, "That's great! I'm my father's only son!"
In the past few days, the gloom caused by the arrival of Uncle Chu's wife and children disappeared in an instant, and his mood was like a roller coaster, soaring from the bottom to the sky. He was originally still sad about sharing his father's love with others, but he didn't expect things to take such a turn.
Murong Linger looked at her son's excitement, frowned slightly, and warned: "Chen'er, your relationship with your Uncle Chu, oh no, your father, cannot be made public for now. You have to wait until the Chu Yuting incident is completely resolved. Do you understand?"
Murong Chen nodded quickly, his eyes gleaming with anticipation, and asked, "Then... can I go to see Dad secretly? I promise that no one will find out!"
Murong Ling'er smiled helplessly and said, "Go ahead if you want to! But be careful."
After getting his mother's permission, Murong Chen was extremely anxious and rushed out the door like a happy little deer.
As soon as he walked out of the yard, he accidentally bumped into Chu Lingfeng who was walking towards him.
"Dad!" Murong Chen shouted subconsciously, and then like a thief who was caught sneaking out, he quickly lowered his voice and ran over with a happy face.
Chu Lingfeng steadied himself, rubbed Murong Chen's head with a smile, and said, "Xiao Chen, why are you so anxious? Where are you going?"
Murong Chen blinked his eyes and said mischievously, "Dad, I just wanted to see you earlier! Why are you up so early?"
Chu Lingfeng raised the lunch box in his hand and said gently, "I've brought breakfast to you and your daughter. I know you love the signature breakfast at Longmen City Restaurant, so I bought it specially."
Murong Chen then noticed the food box in his father's hand, and quickly reached out to take it, saying excitedly: "Wow, Dad, you are so thoughtful!"
The father and son walked into the yard together. At this time, Murong Ling'er was dancing with a sword. Her white clothes fluttered in the wind and the sword shadows flashed.
She caught a glimpse of the two men from the corner of her eye, only glancing briefly before continuing to focus on the sword in her hand.
Chu Lingfeng did not disturb her, but personally placed the breakfast in the lunch box on the stone table in the yard.
The table was full of delicious food, emitting an enticing aroma. Murong Chen looked at the table full of breakfast, his heart filled with emotion, and he truly felt that he was deeply loved and valued by his father.
This feeling of being loved by my biological father is completely different from when Uncle Chu was around. As expected, blood ties have incomparable power.
"Eat quickly! Dad will often have meals with you and your son in the future." Chu Lingfeng said with a smile, his eyes full of happiness and satisfaction.
This breakfast is like a precious reunion dinner. The family of three sits together and enjoys this rare warm time.
