Chapter 457: V342: He Qimo went in, because he called Gu Qingfeng and Qiu Yuan
Staring, Gu Zixuan and He Qimo locked eyes in the air.The past that could never return made them understand clearly that if these scenes had happened before their divorce, perhaps they would have broken their own stubbornness and been moved by family and life to be together.
Gu Zixuan might have, knowing the truth, thought of Feng Chengjin with sadness and sorrow, and held some feelings that she couldn’t figure out for a lifetime, but she would quietly live life with He Qimo, hiding those emotions in her heart, dutifully being a good wife and mother. Upon seeing Feng Chengjin, she might reminisce a little, smile faintly, and brush past him.
And He Qimo might, over time, slowly forget those past prides and pains, enjoying the present life. Perhaps he would have had a child with Gu Zixuan a little earlier, freeing himself and extinguishing the thoughts of all other women, and Liang Shiman wouldn’t have become increasingly distressed in the long wait... Every moment he saw Zixuan now, the tormenting pain grew deeper...
But, pondering over it, all they could do was just that—ponder.
Each of their beds’ other halves had already been occupied.
If not for needing such pure love, why were they each stubborn for eight years?
So...
They awkwardly yet politely exchanged words.
"You’re here."
"Mm." He Qimo smiled, walking towards Gu Qingfeng, brushing past Gu Zixuan...
...
It was with peace and naturalness that Gu Zixuan and He Qimo interacted.
After He Qimo entered, Gu Zixuan also conveniently closed the door, poured a glass of water for He Qimo while getting her own, and placed it in front of the living room coffee table.
He Qimo glanced at Gu Zixuan, frowned, and said, "Haven’t slept? Go rest."
Gu Zixuan shook her head, "Can’t sleep."
He Qimo watched her for a while, made some room and said, "Then come sit."
Gu Zixuan quietly took a seat.
This scene baffled the relatives present; divorced yet behaving better than being married—what was going on?
Gu Zixuan and He Qimo each understood in their hearts that they could never be together again psychologically or in life.
Their calling each other’s parents as "Dad and Mom" was just continuing the responsibilities from the eight years of marriage.
No matter how He Qimo and Gu Zixuan ended up, having been married, he was half a son to Gu Qingfeng for life, without doubt.
So, when He Qimo called "Dad," Gu Zixuan accepted it calmly.
To He Qimo, calling him "Dad" never felt like addressing an outsider.
Smiling, he naturally greeted Qiu Zhai and Song An, "Uncle, Uncle."
Inside, He Qimo quickly began frowning and inquiring about the current situation, pulled out his phone to see who he could contact for help—whatever happened, they couldn’t take people away.
On one side, seeing He Qimo was preferable over seeing Feng Chengjin, Gu Qingfeng looked profoundly at his daughter, and while speaking, affectionately beckoned, "Qimo, come, sit by Dad."
...
Outside the door, having followed He Qimo upstairs—in truth, staying in the car, watching He Qimo’s car speed into the community, and then following him up—Feng Chengjin stood outside the door. He stared at the thick pear wood door for over ten minutes, hesitating and not knowing how to knock.
The Gu Family wasn’t welcoming to him, besides Zixuan, most likely no one else would welcome him.
He Qimo went inside naturally, having been married, called Gu Qingfeng and Qiu Yuan "Dad and Mom," and even had the key to the Gu Family.
What about him...
