"I've already clarified everything with Jingrong," Mo Zixi replied .
The chief's expression immediately warmed up in satisfaction, "At least you did one good thing . You've been in the military for so long and haven't taken any breaks, so I'll give you one month off . Handle the matter well and don't let me hear any rumors!"
"Otherwise, you will hold responsibility for it!"
Mo Zixi saluted at his superior and turned to leave . But, just as he was about to step foot out of the office, he heard the chief tap on the table behind him, "Hurry and send me your marriage application . "
Marriage? Why did it sound like something he had to do?
But, just like he said, he didn't want to marry another woman just as he broke up with one . Even though, it was a reasonable thing to do .
After leaving his chief's office, Mo Zixi drove over to the parking lot near the hospital .
He knew that he was temporarily unable to return home and he had nothing to pack .
However, he ended up waiting an entire hour . By the time he saw Yao Anqi walk out, it was already 4am and the hospital was pretty much empty .
Mo Zixi looked at Yao Anqi and pressed his car horn .
When Yao Anqi approached and saw Mo Zixi, she was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
"Get in the car, I'll drive you home . I'll also take the opportunity to grab a few things for Xingzhe," Mo Zixi replied .
"But . . . "
"If you keep delaying, someone will come over," Mo Zixi reminded .
Yao Anqi had no choice but to open the door and step into the passenger's seat .
However, while they drove, they didn't have much to talk about . They were originally just acquaintances, but they suddenly turned into the parents of a child . Most people couldn't accept a change like this .
But, if they remained awkward, time felt slow and long . In the end, Mo Zixi couldn't help but say, "From now on, you will see me more often and I will come to look for you, but I will try my best not to cause you any trouble . "
"But, what about Chen Jie?"
"I've already clarified everything with her . . . " Mo Zixi replied . "It's not because of you . We broke up because we had problems to begin with . "
"How is it not because of me? I feel like I've stolen someone else's man . . . "
"You didn't steal from her, she stole from you," Mo Zixi explained . "I know it will be hard for you to relax if I don't tell you the real reason, so let me tell you the truth . If Chen Jingrong didn't lie to me, it would have been hard for me to end things with her . But . . . there's no 'if' . She did indeed deceive me for 4 years . "
"4 years ago, on that particular night, I didn't know it was you . When I woke up, she was the one that was lying next to me, so I thought she was the one I slept with . "
"Then . . . "
"I did not touch her . She is still a virgin," Mo Zixi laughed . "So, from now on, don't blame yourself anymore . I won't mention her again either . I know you're not a person with a lot of problems, so let's leave this matter here and not mention it ever again . "
Yao Anqi nodded her head . As long as she wasn't a mistress, she didn't mind .
After a short conversation, Mo Zixi finally pulled up outside Yao Anqi's home .
But, rather than calling it a 'home', it was more of a shelter from the wind and rain . It was apparent that Yao Anqi didn't live a very wealthy life .
"If not for Xingzhe, you would be quite a rich woman . "
"I'm an orphan, so after giving birth, we only had each other," Yao Anqi explained as she packed a few things and handed them to Mo Zixi . "These are some things that Xingzhe likes and is used to . If he sees this, he won't come looking for me . "
"When will you go to visit him?" Mo Zixi asked .
"I . . . don't think I should see him often from now on . Otherwise, we will have too many things tying us together . "
After listening to Yao Anqi, Mo Zixi looked at her in seriousness and said, "You may think it's not possible, but nothing is impossible in my family . I will never find a stepmother simply for the sake of my son . Getting married is not a priority for me, so you can come visit whenever you want . "
"Major Mo . . . "
"You keep throwing the blame on yourself, but I've never thought that you messed up my life . In fact, you saved me just in time," Mo Zixi said patiently . It's not early anymore, you should get some rest, your eye bags are getting dark . I'll take this with me first and you can give me a phone call if you get the chance . I'll leave my phone number on the desk . I have one month leave . "
Yao Anqi was tired and didn't have the energy to think about other things .
After Mo Zixi left, she lay on the bed and fell asleep .
Mo Zixi actually wanted to tell her not to work so hard .
Especially after seeing her simple living arrangements, he thought he should help her move somewhere else .
Mo Zixi finally arrived home at 6am . The early-riser Tangning saw her son return holding Xingzhe's things and immediately asked, "You've sorted everything out?"
"Yes, I've clarified it," Mo Zixi replied . "Mom, where is Xingzhe? I want to see him . "
"He is in your sister's room . She loves him," Tangning said as she pointed to Mo Ziyan's room .
"OK, I'll go in when she wakes up then," Mo Zixi said as he carried his things back into his room .
Perhaps, she could sense her son's struggles, so Tangning followed him upstairs .
"If you're struggling, just cry . We are all here for you . "
Mo Zixi had never felt this bad before . As he wrapped his arm around Tangning's waist, he buried his head into her stomach and began to cry, "Mom, I feel like a failure . "
"Why didn't I discover the truth earlier? Why didn't I know that I had a son earlier?"
"If I knew earlier, Yao Anqi wouldn't have suffered so much and Xingzhe would have had a father to love him . "
"And I wouldn't have been deceived for so many years like an idiot . "
"Anqi didn't want to disturb your life," Tangning comforted as she patted him on his back . "You should be happy that Anqi is a good person that gave birth to such an adorable baby for you and saved you in time . "
"Mom . . . even though that's the case, I still feel bad . I invested 4 years into a relationship to find out that it was all a lie in the end . "
"So what if it was 4 years? The truth was still revealed in the end," Tangning comforted again . "Simply learn from your mistakes and never get fooled again . "
"Also, I don't know what to do about Yao Anqi," Mo Zixi sobbed . "I can't not marry her because she's already given birth to a son for me, but if I try to marry her, she may not be willing . Plus, she can definitely lead a much better life . "Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
