Chapter 372: Chapter 358: After Disguising Herself as a Man, the Rabbit Spirit Ran Away with a Baby in Her Womb 68
The progress feels a bit too fast.
She had only casually tested the waters on a whim just now, not expecting to receive Changqi’s confession of love directly.
“Can I take back what I just said? Isn’t this moving too quickly? It’s only been the first time in seven years that me and the kids have seen you, and it hasn’t even been a full day,” Su Zhiruan pointed towards the children playing nearby, took a deep sigh, and then turned to Changqi, “Maybe we should wait a bit longer, at least let the kids prepare!”
“So you’re saying you don’t want to accept me, right?” Hurt and helplessness appeared on Changqi’s face. He took a step back, yet his gaze remained fixed on Su Zhiruan, never having left, “I want to know your thoughts.”
“That’s not what I said. I’m just thinking, we’ve only reunited for a day. Not just me, but if others knew, they would also think it’s quite abrupt. Moreover, considering our past relationship was master and servant, we never interacted as lovers. Your sudden confession leaves me somewhat at a loss,” Su Zhiruan decided to lay out her inner thoughts for him. They had not been together before. Su Zhiruan had always been disguised as a man, serving him as an Attendant Student. Now, suddenly transforming and receiving a confession from Changqi, anyone would find it incomprehensible.
“What kind of person am I in your heart?” Changqi sat down on a stone bench to the side, his features gentle, simply watching the kids playing not far from him. Then he gestured for Su Zhiruan to sit with him.
As Su Zhiruan pondered, she sat down, and the two sat face to face. Su Zhiruan spoke, “Your Highness, you are a great god, maintaining world peace and order, upholding the balance in the Six Realms, and you have made many contributions. You are a great hero.”
Her official-sounding words made Changqi’s expression relax.
Changqi took a deep sigh, his gaze still on her, “What if I said, I don’t want to be the great hero of the Six Realms right now, I just want to stand by your side and the children’s side again?”
Just as Su Zhiruan didn’t know what to say, the four children suddenly ran over, laughing and playing around them. They each took hold of the arms of Changqi and Su Zhiruan, shaking and acting coyly. From a distance, no one would not think this was a harmonious family, sweet and warm, the man handsome, the woman beautiful, and the children each lovelier than the next, exuding familiarity and warmth among them.
“Daddy, Mommy, what are you doing over here? Why don’t we go play together? It’s really beautiful here!” Yun Xia cajoled them, the little braids on her head swaying gently, looking very adorable as she hopped around, meanwhile pulling her brothers to join in the laughter.
“Yes, yes, Yun Xia is right, Mommy let’s go further inside and see. I didn’t expect the Divine World to be this beautiful!” Lin You nodded emphatically. He had not been too interested in the Divine World before, but to see it now, he couldn’t help but cheer with delight.
Lin An had always loved the Divine World. After actually seeing it, his first reaction was not to laugh and play with his siblings but to try to record everything with his eyes. After all, the chance to come to the Divine World was only this once, and it might be the only time in his lifetime. If he missed this opportunity, there might not be another. Even though he was reluctant to leave, Lin An wanted to etch every image of this place into his memory.
Seeing the children enjoying the Divine World so much, Su Zhiruan crouched down and embraced the four kids. Then she asked, “Do you like the Divine World? Would you like to stay here forever, and…”
Su Zhiruan looked towards Changqi.
Changqi knew what Su Zhiruan wanted to say, and he stepped away a few paces willingly.
“If I said he is your father, and if we become a family, would you be willing?” Su Zhiruan sighed deeply in her heart, embracing the children, still seeking their thoughts.
“Mommy, I have a good impression of Daddy, but if Daddy is not good to you, then I won’t like Daddy. Yun Xia will always follow Mommy’s lead!” Yun Xia cuddled close to Su Zhiruan considerately.
Lin An looked at Su Zhiruan. He was usually mature and composed for his age, but when faced with this matter, his attitude was the same as Yun Xia’s, so he said, “Mommy, on this matter, Xiaxia and I feel the same way. As long as you are happy, it really doesn’t matter to us at all. You deserve your own happiness. If we were to tie you down and hinder your future, we would feel guilty too.”
