Chapter 122: This Is My Birthmark That I’ve Had Since I Was Very Young
Happiness came too suddenly. Gu Qingxue could not react in time.
Yes, how could she have forgotten to ask Rong Han for help?
Rong Zhan loved his son so much. If Rong Han asked her to stay, Rong Zhan would definitely not refuse!
Since that was the case, all she had to do was to coax Rong Han. Why did she have to cook for Rong Zhan?
Gu Qingxue immediately felt that what she had done was useless. Gu Qingxue could not say anything, so she could only follow Rong Han’s words and continue, “Tonight, Lil’ Lin and the others won’t be returning to the manor. It’s fine with me. It’s just that the manor is an important place. Can I stay?”
She actually wanted to agree immediately.
However, Rong Zhan was an old fox. If she agreed too quickly, it would look suspicious.
Rong Han said matter-of-factly, “Of course, you can! If I say you can, you can. Father, I want the fairy to stay and coax me to sleep. I also want to hear a story.”
Rong Zhan did not raise his head, as if he did not care. “It’s up to you.”
“Hehe, thank you, father!” Rong Han hugged Gu Qingxue’s arm affectionately, “Fairy, you don’t have to worry. My father dotes on me very much. You can come to the royal manor whenever you want. Next time, you can bring Lingbao and the others with you.”
“Okay,” Gu Qingxue agreed on the surface, but she did not intend to bring the three children to see Rong Zhan.
After she cured Rong Zhan, there would be no more relationship between them.
By then, she and Lil’ Han would probably not see each other again.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingxue felt as if someone had stabbed her heart, and she felt a stabbing pain.
Gu Qingxue tried her best to ignore this feeling and continued to serve the two of them food.
After dinner, Gu Qingxue took Rong Han to take a bath in the fragrant soup.
There was a natural hot spring in the backyard of the prince regent’s mansion, and a large number of medicinal herbs were soaking in it. The power of the medicinal herbs blended into the emerald green hot spring water with the high temperature, and one could smell the alluring medicinal fragrance from a distance.
Gu Qingxue stood behind the screen and took off her long dress. She was only wearing a snow-white undergarment. She walked towards the hot spring with Rong Han in her arms.
The hot spring was filled with smoke. After Gu Qingxue entered the hot spring with Rong Han in her arms, she suddenly saw a scar on the back of Rong Han’s heart.
That scar took up almost one-third of Rong Han’s back. Even though many years had passed, it could still be seen how severe the injury was back then.
Gu Qingxue looked at the scar, her heart throbbing in pain, and her throat felt a little sore.
The scar looked like it had been there for three or four years, but Rong Han and the three children were about the same age. Obviously, he was still in his infancy, but he was already seriously injured.
Who was so cruel? He had actually wanted to kill a little baby!
Gu Qingxue thought of how Lil’ Han was born in the prince regent’s manor and was the only child in his family. He had always been in the whirlpool of power struggles. It was not hard to imagine how difficult it must have been for him for so many years.
“Fairy, why do you keep staring at my back?” Rong Han reached out his hand to touch the scar on his back, but he could not touch it. He said gloomily, “Father said this is my birthmark. It has been there since I was very young. The old witch said that my birthmark was ugly previously. Did it scare you?”
“No, I think the mark on your back looks very handsome,” Gu Qingxue comforted him.
It seemed that Rong Zhan did not tell Rong Han the true origin of the scar on Rong Han’s back.
Gu Qingxue changed the topic and left the hot spring after taking a bath with Rong Han.
