Before this, Mu Qian once thought that Huo Qiran's emotions should have stabilized when facing Cheng Manshu.

Even though he kept silent because of Cheng Manshu, after that, he could already face Cheng Manshu. Even when Huo Jinxi took him back to the Huo family mansion, he did not show excessive anxiety.

But Mu Qian didn't expect that when she met Cheng Manshu accidentally today, his emotions were so unstable.

Mu Qian thought, probably after she was with him, Huo Qiran became overly dependent on her.

Because before the age of six, Huo Qiran had never enjoyed the feeling of relying on someone like this. After Mu Qian appeared, especially after knowing that Mu Qian was his biological mother, he gave Mu Qian full of trust without hesitation, probably to make up for the lack of security before the age of six.

This dependence made him completely relax himself, forget his previous defense and fear, and completely return to the mentality that a child should have.

It is precisely because of this that the sudden encounter with Cheng Manshu made his former fear come back to his heart and cause such a big impact.

He has become accustomed to a safe and comfortable environment, and suddenly returns to his former state of mind, which is inevitable that he will be unbearable for a moment.

But the more this happens, the more Mu Qian feels sad.

In the past, she owed too much this child, which led to his current appearance and mentality.

And from now on, she will never allow anyone to hurt him any more.

Although Huo Qiran was full of fear, Mu Qian's existence successfully comforted him.

He lay on Mu Qian's shoulder, sobbed sadly for a while, and then gradually calmed down.

He slowly raised his head and looked at Mu Qian with tears in his eyes. He did not forget to stretch out his hand and wipe Mu Qian's eyes.

Mu Qian almost fell tears, but in the end he just smiled slightly and said, "Mom is fine. Are you still scared?"

Huo Qiran shook his head gently.

Mu Qian responded, and then said, "With my mother here, grandma dare not betray you anymore. Mom will not let grandma harsh you anymore, do you know?"

Huo Qiran nodded and lay on Mu Qian's shoulder again.

After a while, Mu Qian walked out of the bathroom with Huo Qiran in his arms.

When they returned to the previous dining table, Cheng Manshu and her friends were gone.

Huo Qiran lay on her shoulder and motionless. Mu Qian knew that he would not be able to eat even if he stayed here, so he quickly paid the bill and took Qi Ran back to the Huo family's old house.

When I got home, I watched the driver move a lot of shopping bags from the car, and the aunt couldn't help laughing, "Today, the mother and son were happy to go shopping, and they actually bought so many things..."

As soon as he looked up, the aunt noticed that Mu Qian's expression was not right and couldn't help but say, "What's wrong?"

Mu Qian walked in with Huo Qiran in her arms, and did not answer the question at first, but said, "Auntie, you can cook some beef porridge for Qiran. He didn't eat it well at night. I'm afraid he will be hungry later."

After hearing this, the aunt nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll go now."

Mu Qian then put Huo Qiran down, looked at Huo Qiran sitting quietly on the sofa, and reached out to touch his head, "Do you want to eat?"

Huo Qiran shook his head obediently.

Mu Qian smiled, "Okay, then mom will accompany you to drink porridge later."

After saying that, Mu Qian stood up and was about to go to the bathroom to twist a hot towel to wipe Huo Qiran's face. Who knew that she would be together? Huo Qiran immediately grabbed her sleeves and stood up, looking as if she was afraid that she would leave.

Mu Qian couldn't help but pause, and the next moment, he picked up Huo Qiran and walked into the bathroom together.

That night, Huo Qiran always pestered Mu Qian tightly and was unwilling to leave her for a minute.

After Mu Qian accompanied him to drink the porridge, he quickly took him upstairs to take a shower and go to bed.

Usually, Huo Qiran sleeps very accurately and usually falls asleep quickly when he lies in bed. However, today he is lying in Mu Qian's arms, but he keeps tossing and turning, and has not tended to fall asleep for a long time.

Mu Qian patted his back and hummed a song softly.

It was unknown how long it took, but Huo Qiran finally fell asleep gradually, but his little hands were still holding Mu Qian's pajamas.

Compared to Huo Qiran, Mu Qian couldn't sleep even more.

She just lay there quietly, looking at Huo Qiran's uneasy sleeping face without moving, until a slight sound of a car came from outside.

Mu Qian picked up his cell phone and looked at the time.

It was already half past the morning, and Huo Jinxi was back.

Mu Qian still didn't move, just lay on the bed and listened to the movement.

Soon, Huo Jinxi went upstairs and stopped at the door of this room.

Then, the door was pushed open.

As the lights poured in from the corridor, Huo Jinxi slowly walked into the room and sat down beside the bed.

Mu Qian suddenly turned to look at him.

Huo Jinxi glanced at her, and then his eyes fell on Huo Qiran.

He reached out to explore Huo Qiran's forehead. He felt that the temperature was normal, so he gently stroked Huo Qiran's face and said softly: "Did you scare him today?"

When Mu Qian heard this, he knew why he came back so late.

Perhaps it was not only Huo Qiran but also Cheng Manshu who was frightened today, so he went to the mansion.

Mu Qian said "um" softly and said nothing else.

Huo Jinxi was silent for a moment before reaching out to cover the hand that Mu Qian placed on Huo Qiran.

But Mu Qian suddenly retracted his hand.

Huo Jinxi paused and whispered: "Are you blaming me?"

After a while, I heard Mu Qian's answer: "I know I can't blame you. You are already very good to Qi Ran. You have tried your best to do everything you can - this is the answer my reason tells me."

"Yes." Huo Jinxi heard this, and after a moment of quietness, he said again, "What about emotions?"

Mu Qian gritted his teeth and said slowly: "Qi Ran will be frightened and become like this today. It is because you have not protected him well."

So, she always blamed him in her heart.

This is probably the truth and selfishness of human nature—

When Huo Qiran was just his son of Huo Jinxi, Mu Qian felt that his father had done a good job, at least from his position, he had done the best;

But when Huo Qiran became her and his son, Mu Qian felt that he was not doing well enough. Even if he could do a little more, perhaps Qi Ran could avoid the current aphasia.

A long time later, Huo Jinxi finally took Mu Qian's hand again and put it on his lips.
