His heart sank and his smile froze.

Liu Sao awkwardly picked up the bag and looked inside, the embarrassment on her face only grew deeper.

Liu Sao turned and looked at the clock, "It's almost 5."

I put down my teacup and stood up. "I'm going to the hospital." I am very worried about Zheng Keer. I don't know if she is injured, or if she is severely injured.

Soon, they arrived at the hospital. Just as they were about to take the elevator up, they heard someone call out from behind them, "Auntie."

Hearing that it was Heng Heng's voice, I frowned, retracted my hand that was pressing the elevator button, and turned around.

He was walking toward me, his expression calm and serious.

It had to be said that not only did Heng Heng's five senses inherit Lou Shaotang, he also inherited his aura perfectly. He was the same as Lou Shaotang, he was not smiling, and had a maturity that was inconsistent with his age. He did not have the innocence that a child should have, and his maturity was unimaginable.

I put my hands in my pockets and looked at him, wondering why he'd called me. Usually he wouldn't talk to me. It's also no wonder that he would never have a good impression of me due to my relationship with Zheng Keer and Lou Shaotang.

"Can I talk to you?" Heng Heng stood in front of me. As he was shorter than me, he slightly raised his head to look at me, but his eyes were fearless, as if he was also looking at me with a gaze that was on the same level. Although the voice was childish, the tone was as experienced as an adult's.

I stared at him for two seconds, then jerked my chin toward the coffee bar behind him.

When he arrived at the coffee shop, Heng Heng quickly scanned through and immediately found a table against the wall and sat down. I laughed unhappily in my heart, as though I had decided to follow Lou Shaotang's lead.

"Auntie, can you leave my dad?" I had barely sat down when he spoke.

"The hand holding the dining plate stopped mid-air." What did you say? " I turned my eyes and raised my eyebrows at him, wondering if I had misheard.

He met my eyes. "My mother has suffered a lot for my father, and she loves him very much. This shouldn't be her fate."

So he hadn't misheard!

Although it was a small mistake, it was more of a joke.

"So you think I should give your father to her?" I put the plate back in its place, a slight smile on the corner of my mouth and a hint of mockery in my voice.

"Not Jean, it's payback." He corrected me at once.

My smile froze, and I stared at his serious face.

"Heng Heng, I think you're mistaken." In a few seconds I was able to compose myself and sit up straight. My expression became serious, and I said to him, "First of all, your father is not a thing. Secondly, I didn't take your father from your mother. He was single when I was with your father. Finally, "I stopped and said confidently," Your father doesn't love your mother anymore. I'm the one he loves now. "

"How do you know my father doesn't love my mother?" The moment I said that, Heng Heng didn't stop asking me.

The corner of my eye jumped.

"It's not that my father doesn't love my mother, it's just that he has been away from my mother for too long and has forgotten her feelings a little. As long as they are together again, that burning passion from back then will definitely return. " Heng Heng's face was resolute, and his tone was firm. Then he said, "So Auntie, I ask you to leave my father and let him return to my mother's side."

I was stunned. If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed these words came from the mouth of a nine-year-old.

"Who taught you this?" I narrowed my eyes and stared at him suspiciously, Shen Yiru's face appearing in my mind.

"No one taught me." Heng Heng's expression was calm, it was definitely not a lie.

She was already used to being arrogant and unruly. She probably never said such erotic lines in her life before.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This child was terrifyingly precocious.

"What about me, leaving your father?" I asked, smirking at him.

"You're beautiful and smart, and if you leave my dad, you'll find a better man. Even if you can't find it, you still have a company and you can live a good life. But my mother was the only one my father could count on. "

"…"

What Heng Heng said was reasonable, I do have the qualifications to go into the arms of another man compared to Zheng Keer, and I also have the ability to support myself in order to achieve happiness. But because of this, I should be leaving Lou Shaotang?

Why?!

"You're right." I smiled. "I might be able to find someone better than your father, but I might not be able to find someone better than him."

Heng Heng, who was talking nonstop just a moment ago, instantly froze up when he heard what I just said.

I don't know if a child of his age can understand adult love, or what I mean by that, but from his expression it seems he knows more or less.

"But, but my mother loves my father more than you do." After a while, Heng Heng finally regained his senses. He lost his previous calm and said a bit anxiously: "Can you break a leg for my father, for him, for him?"

I stared at him in silence, speechless. Because on this question, I also asked myself, if it was me, would I have chosen to amputate to protect my child?

The answer is, no.

I admit, I'm more selfish than Zheng Keer. I can't be as great as her.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Heng Heng's innocent face exposed a trace of pride, but immediately became heavy again, "Do you know why my mother was in a car accident this time?"

"Why?"

"It's also for my father." "No," he said.

"What do you mean?" I stared at him, my hand tightening around the cup, my heart racing.

"Father's birthday is coming up in a few days. Mom wants to do one last thing for him before he leaves so she can go to the Dragon Hidden Temple to pray for him. On the way there, she got hit by a car."

My head exploded and my whole body went stiff. Never would he have thought that it was once again because of what had happened to Lou Shaotang. This time, Lou Shaotang felt even more guilty about it. This debt of conscience would probably not end even in his next life.

"Is she seriously injured?" I only hope it's just a false alarm, Zheng Keer is fine.

"A concussion. The only leg is broken." Heng Heng's eyes lit up with tears, "Auntie, just treat it as me begging you to take pity on my mother, leave my father. "Actually, my mom can't bear to leave. She really loves and loves my dad, so much that she can do anything for him without caring about her own life."

"Do you know what kind of life we've been living these past ten years?" No matter how I reacted, Heng Heng sniffed and continued, "We live in a dark basement, my mother works 2 hours a day by herself. She is sick, but she doesn't see a doctor, so she saved some money for me to study and treat Grandmother's illness. We were very poor, but she still didn't come to see him, because she didn't want to drag him down, and he was a public figure, and she didn't want to discredit his image. She said only a woman as beautiful and perfect as you could be worthy of Dad. "

Every word of his was pounding my heart. Zheng Keer was indeed a good woman. She selflessly gave her all for Lou Shaotang, and was willing to suffer so much for him.

But if so, why did she come back?

Covering my heartbroken feelings, I asked directly, "Since that's what she thought, why did she come back now?"

"I came back because my grandmother died and wanted to take her ashes to their roots." Heng Heng said: "Looking for Father was my idea, Mom did not know about this beforehand. Do you remember that time in the cafeteria when you asked my dad for a call? "

I nodded, remembering.

"Actually, the reason I followed dad to that restaurant that day wasn't because I was lost with mom. Borrowing a phone is just an excuse, but to get dad's phone number. Then I called Dad and it was all me who sent Mom pictures. "

So that was the truth. I always thought that Zheng Keer was the one who took the initiative to look for me. I misunderstood her.

My eyes burned and my heart filled with guilt.

"Auntie, there are some things that I shouldn't have said, but I still have to tell you." Heng Heng looked at my reddened eyes and said, "Do you know how excited my father was when he found out that my mother was still alive? He cried all afternoon while hugging my mother. He didn't stop … "He stopped, as if he was too embarrassed to say anything. He frowned, cleared his throat, and then said," I kept kissing her. "

"" My brain felt like it had been struck by lightning, staring blankly at Heng Heng.

Thinking about those days, Lou Shaotang really seemed like he had come to life. His sad face, and his reddened eyes, all those drawings flashed through my mind one by one like a movie.

Looking at the bag of "Zizi Forest" on the table, I thought that Heng Heng was probably right. Lou Shaotang still loved Zheng Keer from the bottom of her heart, but it was too long ago, the love was buried so deeply that even he himself did not realize it. Adding on my existence, it interfered with his judgement of Zheng Keer's share of love.

Thinking back, Zheng Keer had done so much for Lou Shaotang. What about me? What can I do for Lou Shaotang?

Maybe, I should not stay by Lou Shaotang's side; maybe, I should help Zheng Keer.

"I want to go up and see your mother," I said.

Heng Heng nodded.

We went upstairs together. When I arrived at ward door's entrance, I subconsciously looked towards the small window and saw Lou Shaotang holding onto Zheng Keer's hand and feeding her water. Just as Heng Heng had said, Zheng Keer's left leg was in a cast, her head was wrapped in a bandage, and her face was as pale as paper. She looked extremely weak.

She hadn't had much to drink, so she didn't know what Lou Shaotang had said to her. Lou Shaotang put down the cup and helped her wipe her mouth with a tissue.

"Auntie, why aren't you going in?"

Heng Heng's voice pulled my attention back to him. I opened the door and went in
