HIDING SECRETS

******

THIS MORNING ..

Aria was watching the scene before her while eating biscuits Gu Xiaomeng left her . She was hesitating whether she should ate it or not but since nobody was watching her , she reached for one piece of it and immediately bite the soft and sweet biscuit in case she can't eat it anymore after this .

Admiring the savoury taste , she didn't even realize how many pieces she already ate . She was too absorbed in watching the family here . They were so different from her family , she thought ..

Currently , Qin Lijun and Qin Lixin were supposed to left for their school ten minutes ago . But they were adamant in not leaving their mother at home .

Qin Lixin was hugging his mother tightly while Qin Lijun held his mother's hand with his utmost strength . Nanny Xueyi can't even do anything even if she coaxed them with any way possible .

Aria doesn't know what are they doing . Is going to school a big deal ? Aren't they just going there for several hours .. ? That's what she thought while munching the biscuits .

One of the maids suddenly come beside Aria and wiped the remaining crumbs around her lips . She just laughed when Aria become froze and currently staring at her . The maid calm voice sounded when she saw what Aria has been staring .

" Well , that was just a routine for them , Miss Aria . Everyday , second young master would clung to madam's arms before he left to school . It's just his habit , it's not like he doesn't want to go to school , he just want to be a clingy boy to madam . But today is indeed weird . First young master also doesn't want to leave the madam . Usually , he's the one who coaxed the second young master to go to school . I can't believe our mature young master can also be childish like his brother . "

The maid laughed while patting Aria's hair and left to do her work . Aria only blinks her eyes several times before her small hand reached her head . She was shocked ! She doesn't know who's that maid who suddenly come and talk to her but more surprisingly she even patted her head !

She thought most of the maids only act like the maids from her house . They all talk rudely and doesn't even have sympathy to a child like her . That maid remind her of Sister Nexy ...

Sister Nexy ... Is she okay .. ? She frown remembering the only person who helped her in her house . She hoped that Sister Nexy would be fine there ... She doesn't know when they could meet again ..

Ten minutes later , Gu Xiaomeng succeeds in coaxing her youngest son to sit in the car to left for his school . However , she was surprised to see her eldest son was the one who's still stuck with her .

Afterall , her eldest son was known to be a matured and cold person , that's why he's a nickname ' The Mini Qin Ruming ' . Thus , he had never make any scenes and obediently going to school while coaxing his younger brother .

This is a first for her to see her son like this . Though it's weird , she liked that he's being clingy towards her .

" What's wrong , Xiaojun .. ? Doesn't you already skip school yesterday . You can't probably skipped it again today . "

She raise her hand to pat his head while hugging him . At this age , her eldest son height almost reached her chest , she doesn't know what to do once his height overpowered hers .

" Mommy ... " His soft voice sounded from her arms . Instead of his usual cold and calm voice , this time his voice was so gentle and soft as if he's imitating his younger brother .

" Mhmm ... ? "

" ..... I know your secrets ... " He tighten his hand onto her waist while saying that . He could feel his mother's stiffen body but he pretend that he couldn't feel it .

" What are you talking about ... Mommy won't hide secrets from my babies .. " She unconsciously stammered a bit while speaking and Qin Lijun already sense it .

" Mommy , you and father probably can hide and lied to little bao but you know I'm not like little bao .. It's enough that you know I'm aware of those secrets .. I just .. want you to be honest to me and little bao .. Mommy , you know I love you , right .. ? I .. never want to lose you .. "

He desperately gather his utmost strength while talking to his mother . He's afraid of looking at her reaction thus he let go of his mother's body and swiftly run towards the car . Before that , he looks back for the last time at his mother .

" Mommy ! Don't let that little girl fools you . If she's being rude to you , throw her away ! But ... but if she can be nice , I would .. reluctantly let her live with us for few days . "

With that words , he closed the door and let the driver drove them to the school leaving the frozen Gu Xiaomeng alone in the garden .

Indeed , she and her husband held a big secret from her kids . She thought that she's already done a great job in hiding that . Unfortunately , she just had to have a smart son .

To be honest , she was the one who forced her husband to keep that secret forever . She doesn't want to hurt her babies nor troubled them . It's enough that she hurt her husband by revealing that secret to him .

She clearly remembered his reaction at the time .

Qin Ruming was already a protective person towards his beloved family . But because of that secret , he's being more worse in being protective towards her . He even wanted to take a leave from his work that she need to take action and convince him that nothing will happen .

She thought that she could kept this secret forever . Her job as a parent was to make her children happy not to make them sad by this news .

Nevertheless , she sigh with a painful smile ..

" Even if you know , you should have kept pretending , Qin Lijun .... Do you need to expose your mother like that ... ? At the end , you're the one who's gonna be hurt .. "
