"Aren't you going down?" Di Yi felt the change in Liu Xun's heart and asked softly.
Yan Chong glanced at Liu Xun, then looked at Li Mengyao who was holding the baby, and said, "Go down. Some things... must be faced eventually."
"I know. You two don't need to teach me these things!" Liu Xun took a deep breath, opened the car door, got out and walked towards Li Mengyao.
Li Mengyao looked at Liu Xun approaching her step by step without making any reaction. The two just looked at each other calmly without anyone speaking first.
"How old is the child?" Finally, Liu Xun couldn't hold it in any longer and asked while looking at the baby girl in Li Mengyao's arms.
"Two months." Li Mengyao said truthfully. After she finished speaking, Liu Xun fell silent. Two months? It did fit the time.
"Uh...very cute." Liu Xun felt very disappointed. He smiled awkwardly and said perfunctorily.
"You like this child too?" Li Mengyao asked with a smile. Liu Xun became even more embarrassed when he heard this. He could only say against his will: "Of course I like it. Your child... How could I not like it?"
Li Mengyao smiled and said nothing. Liu Xun asked casually, "Where is your husband? Why didn't he come out with you?"
"I'm not married, so where would I find a husband? Can you introduce one to me?" Li Mengyao glanced at Liu Xun and said softly.
"..." Liu Xun was speechless. How could the child come from without a husband? Pregnant before marriage? Or was Li Mengyao abandoned by a man
Li Mengyao frowned. She could tell from Liu Xun's expression that this man... had obviously thought something wrong, so she explained, "This is not my child. I picked her up two months ago. I felt sorry for her, so I took her home."
"Uh..." Liu Xun's lost mood disappeared immediately after hearing these words. He smiled awkwardly and said to the baby girl in Li Mengyao's arms: "This child is so cute. No wonder you took her back."
"... " Yan Chong and Di Yi in the car could hear Liu Xun's words. When they heard Liu Xun say this, they all raised their middle fingers in their hearts.
Li Mengyao might not be able to see the change in Liu Xun's heart when he said the child was cute, but Yan Chong and Di Yi knew... The first time Liu Xun said the child was cute and liked the child, it was obviously very reluctant, but the second time he said it... it was sincere.
What does this show? Liu Xun is such a scheming person. At first, he didn't know that the child was not Li Mengyao's, so he was jealous, but he couldn't say it out loud! The second time... he knew that the child was not Li Mengyao's, and the jealousy in his heart disappeared instantly.
"Why did you come to see me?" After a year, Li Mengyao has become more mature than she was a year ago. The so-called maturity does not refer to her appearance, but to her psychology and thoughts.
Liu Xun looked at Li Mengyao and said seriously, "Come with me. The world is in chaos right now. You never know what will happen at any time. Although S City is a big city in China, it doesn't mean it is safe."
"Is it safe to be with you? And... are you sure you love me? If you love me, why did you come to me now? I only knew you were alive when everyone knew about it. Have you ever thought about how I feel?"
Li Mengyao put the baby girl in a stroller and continued, "We have grown a lot over this long time. You are no longer the same person, and I am no longer the same person! You are now the leader of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, known to everyone in the world, and I am just an ordinary woman. Is it possible for you to let an ordinary woman be with you?"
"Love is sometimes not only a responsibility, but also a burden! If you don't even understand the most basic responsibility, how can you love me? How can I cater to you? Your love for me... I'm afraid it's just possessiveness, and if I'm with you, I'll be under a lot of pressure! I'll live a very tiring life, do you understand?"
Li Mengyao's words made Liu Xun silent. He sighed, stared at Li Mengyao, and said, "It's not that I don't want to come to you during this period. I asked the family to take you to the capital several times, but you refused!"
"As for why I didn't come in person, it was because war could break out at any time at the border, and I couldn't leave! If I left there, not only would the border fall, but even the revolutionary army would be wiped out. At that time... the whole of China would be filled with war! So... I had no choice at that time!"
"You said I don't understand the responsibilities and burdens! I don't deny these, but it doesn't mean I don't want to take responsibility, but no one told me, and I have no choice, but now... I will take all the responsibilities and burdens!"
Li Mengyao smiled and retorted: "Can you afford it? There are so many women around you, so many invisible responsibilities. Can you see it? You only see yourself and the people of China, but what? You never know what women think in their hearts. They don't have the great goal of saving the people. They just want to be able to love well and thoroughly once, but what can you give them?"
"Although I haven't seen you in the past year, I can guess... You have been fighting everywhere in this year. In such a long time, how much time have you spent with them? I'm afraid you can count the time on one hand!"
"They don't owe you anything, and neither do I. So why should we give up our own happiness to suffer with you? I am not them, so I can't control what they do, but you can't control my own decisions either!"
Liu Xun laughed when he heard this, walked to Li Mengyao, pulled her into his arms, and said forcefully: "I can't control your decision, but I can control you. Since you don't want to go with me, I will take you away by force!"
"Liu Xun, you..." Li Mengyao wanted to break free, but how could she break free from Liu Xun
"You can call me a bandit or a bastard, but I am going to take you away from here! I don't know responsibility, nor do I know how to shoulder it, but from today on... I will give you whatever I have, whatever you need or want!"
When Liu Xun said this, he waved his hand at the stroller, and the stroller automatically ran towards the Passat. Liu Xun directly picked up Li Mengyao and walked towards the vehicle.
"You can hate me or blame me! Maybe you are right, I only have a possessive desire for you! But you can't deny that you have a good impression of me. If that's the case, it's reasonable for you to be with me. As for those moral opinions, let them go with the wind!" (To be continued)
