Breaking with the Old Love and Communicating with the Son

Sure enough, there was a car parked outside the building, and that person was leaning against the car, smoking.

Zhuang Bao saw him from a distance while sitting in the taxi. As soon as she got out of the taxi, Zhuang Bao took her son's hand, let out a sigh, and walked towards him.

Xu Dingyuan immediately dropped the cigarette, stood up straight, and looked at her, both surprised and delighted.

"Mommy, he doesn't look that great. He's neither handsome nor cool. Did you really have a thing... uh... date with him before?" Zhuang Weixin whispered with a sneer.

"I'll deal with you later!" Zhuang Bao squeezed Zhuang Weixin's hand as a warning.

She didn't stop until she reached in front of Xu Dingyuan.

"Just go back. We have no relationship anymore," Zhuang Bao said seriously. "Don't forget your wife is waiting for you. What are you doing like this?"

"Baobao... I haven't forgotten you for a single day. I know you truly loved me, and I loved you too! All these years, I've been waiting so painfully to meet you again!" Xu Dingyuan couldn't hold it in any longer. The person he loved the most was treating him so coldly. "Didn't I tell you to wait for me? I will definitely find a perfect solution. But you..."

"I don't want to bring up the past anymore. Let it go, okay? We shouldn't live in the past," Zhuang Bao said.

"You must hate me, but I deserve it. I just know that I've always loved you. I've been waiting for you, waiting for you to understand me, forgive me, and come back to me..." Xu Dingyuan confessed his love affectionately.

"Alright, then I'm sorry. I didn't wait for you, didn't go back to you. I went to bed with someone else. So I'm really sorry. I gave birth to a son for someone else," Zhuang Bao suddenly realized that she didn't love him as much as she thought. Otherwise, she would have been moved by his confession just now.

"Baobao, stop lying to me," Xu Dingyuan didn't believe her at all.

"Take a good look. Which part of him looks like you?" Zhuang Bao pushed Zhuang Weixin, whom she had been holding, in front of him.

"Baobao, he looks a lot like you. His features are deep and good - looking. Although he doesn't look much like me, that doesn't mean anything. I have no doubt that he's my son. Even if he looked like an alien, I wouldn't deny it," Xu Dingyuan said.

"Come on! Who looks like an alien? You're the alien. Mommy told you I'm not your son. Don't you understand? My features are deeper because my dad is a foreigner," Zhuang Weixin couldn't stand his wishful thinking and couldn't help but retort.

"You... You?! It's impossible..." Xu Dingyuan stammered. He couldn't accept it, especially since it came from the mouth of the boy he thought was his son. "Impossible!" He shook his head in denial.

"That's right!" Zhuang Bao stared straight at his panic. "His father is a foreigner."

"… But you're unmarried, aren't you?"

"Who said you have to be married to have a child? I'm fed up with you men. You can play around with women, but then you find all sorts of reasons to go home and be a good son!" Zhuang Bao said sharply, "You clearly made a mess of things yourself, but you still want to be the good guy. Before you slept with her, was it because there was no one else, or was it because you didn't want anyone else but her? Then what was I? A sex partner for you to relieve stress when she wasn't around? Was I a prostitute you paid for? She cried and made a fuss, and her mother asked you to take responsibility. Of course, you were so affectionate to make them feel at ease and let them think I seduced you! Goodness! You had to marry her to show your responsibility for sleeping with her. But what about me? You didn't have to take responsibility for sleeping with me? I was so carried away by my love for you that I didn't cry or make a fuss and didn't let my family know because I disdained it! I didn't care about that marriage that could only be obtained by forcing you! If my parents had to step in for you to marry me, was that kind of love given out of pity or coercion? Could it last?"

Xu Dingyuan was so shocked by these words that he couldn't respond. "I... I... I..."

"If you still had me in your heart, you shouldn't have married her because of a past promise. She wants your whole heart, not pity or something to deal with your elders! You said you loved me and that sleeping with her was a habit because you had been doing it for years before I showed up. What did you take her for? You knew you would end up marrying her in the end. Even if you loved me so much, you shouldn't have touched me, you know?" Zhuang Bao looked up at the sky and held back the tears welling up in her eyes. Suddenly, a small hand quietly took her tightly clenched hand.

"Just go. I don't want to see you again and remind myself of the sin of lust I once committed. I shouldn't have been tempted by lust before marriage and been with you... Sigh, just go. Let's consider the past as a test from God. I've already gone through it, and it can't be repeated."

Later, Xu Dingyuan left, but he threatened to come back. He said he would sort everything out and then come back.

"Mommy, I'm glad I don't have to call him dad," Zhuang Weixin gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eye with his sleeve.

"What kind of statement is that!" Zhuang Bao sat on the sofa, stroked her son's head, and said, "Your mommy used to be very infatuated. I loved him so much that I could give up everything. It was because in the end, he actually told me to wait for him until everyone was less wary, and then we could be together again. That's what made me leave him!"

She laughed. "Goodness! I feel sorry for the woman he married. He married her to deal with his family. He didn't want to be called a heartless man, but he wanted me and didn't dare to leave her... What a ridiculous man. When you grow up, don't ever do this. Otherwise, I'll be the first to kill you!"

"Come on, give me some credit. Do I look like that kind of low - class scumbag?" Zhuang Weixin criticized bluntly. "Fortunately, you didn't continue with him. Just thinking that I might have had to call that kind of person dad makes me want to vomit..."

I was very likely to continue with him. If I hadn't known I was pregnant with you, I might have become his mistress because I didn't care about anything for the sake of loving him at that time."

"Why?"

"At that time... The night before he took the wedding photos, he coaxed me all night long to prevent me from getting emotional. He didn't go back until dawn. He was afraid I would cry myself to death and that I would leave him. So he always used sex to bind my heart when his fiancée was unavailable. Let me tell you secretly... I was often taken home by him in the middle of the night! At that time, their wedding date had already been set, just because he wanted me. Son, don't ever do this. Your mommy has been through it all!" Zhuang Bao laughed. Regardless of her son's young age, she even talked about such romantic affairs as a joke. Really!

"Then how are you sure he's not my dad?" Zhuang Weixin asked with a bit of panic. He really doubted his mom's muddle - headedness. Could it be that she... "I said he's not, so he's not. What? Do you doubt your mommy's IQ?" Zhuang Bao tapped her son's head. "I'm not lying. Before I went on a vacation abroad, that thing just happened. So after I met your dad, I had you. Got it?"

"What's that thing?" Zhuang Weixin didn't understand.

"Come on! Aren't you so smart? Go check on the website," Zhuang Bao originally wanted to explain, but it was too early to talk about this with a seven - year - old boy. "I'm going to take a shower. I seem to be really tired recently. I'll go to bed early and get a good sleep."

Zhuang Bao patted her son's head and got up to go back to her room.

"Ah! Mommy!" Zhuang Weixin suddenly thought of something and turned to call her.

"You thought of it?" Zhuang Bao didn't expect her son to be so smart.

"No! It's... I have something to discuss with you," Zhuang Weixin suddenly became hesitant.

"Is it something big or small?" Oh! This kid didn't say what he wanted directly. There was something wrong!

"Er... It's something big for me," Zhuang Weixin said.

Zhuang Bao used her eyes to signal him to continue. She thought maybe this kid wanted to learn something new again?

"Um... Mommy, can I skip a grade? Because I think the current courses are really boring," Zhuang Weixin said eagerly, "Although you want me to have a normal learning environment and friends of the same age, don't you think I'm wasting my time?"

"… Hmm, do you think skipping a grade would be better?" Zhuang Bao had already been thinking about this issue, but she didn't want her son to be burdened with too high expectations. That kind of life had no quality. Everyone could guess what he would be like in the future... "I don't want to be treated as an odd one either, but it's really boring," Zhuang Weixin knew his mom's thoughts, but it wasn't a good idea to stay in primary school like this. And every time he had to be careful not to show abilities beyond that of a primary school student.

"Math is especially tiring. I can clearly solve the problems in a simpler way, but I still have to use those stupid methods, which is really troublesome."

"But don't you think it's better to face your friends happily every day than to face people with ill intentions? And you know that once you skip a grade, those classmates who are older than you will be resentful. And with your indifferent attitude, you'll annoy some self - righteous people. Besides, it's only natural that you're smart and capable because skipping a grade means you have a higher IQ than them... I want you to study step by step so that you can have more time to see the world, fully integrate into the world as you grow, and have abilities other than just book knowledge. Do you understand? Use your heart and life to experience the wonders of the world and use your eyes to observe all the big and small things that happen in your life," Zhuang Bao said seriously.

Zhuang Weixin thought for a while.

"Mommy, can I daydream in class?" Of course, he understood his mom's intentions.

"Just don't let the teacher find out," Zhuang Bao knew she had successfully convinced her son again.
