Fox Demon: Huaizhu is not a concubine, and hegemony has no wife

Chapter 237: When you are here, I am happy. When you are not here, I am upset.

"do you know?"

Dongfang Huaizhu leaned his head on Su Mu's shoulder and looked at the drizzle outside the window.

Su Mu couldn't help but turn his head and look at her.

"When my mother was still alive... she actually didn't like me very much." The girl stared out the window in a daze.

"why?"

Su Mu was a little confused.

"Because I'm a girl."

Dongfang Huaizhu smiled and said, "She actually hopes to give birth to a boy for Daddy, hoping to carry on the family tradition and have someone to succeed him."

Su Mu couldn't help but remain silent.

"But my father likes me very much and doesn't mind that I'm a girl."

The girl smiled and said, "When my mother was very young, she taught me to take good care of my younger brother and look after him..."

"younger brother?"

Su Mu was puzzled.

"Well, my mother was convinced that her second child would be a boy, so he would be my brother."

"That was when I was very young, so I don't remember it very clearly. At that time, I actually didn't like my future brother because my mother was always very gentle when she talked about him, but she was never that gentle with me."

"My mother doesn't like me. Actually, I don't like her either, because she always scolds me and tells me to be sensible. So, I'm actually quite afraid of her and always want to hide from her. I also feel that my mother hates me."

The girl smiled, but a hint of sadness welled up in the corners of her eyes. "It wasn't until I was in danger and my mother risked her life to protect me that I realized it wasn't that she disliked me, she just hated me for not leaving a child for my father."

"My mother was seriously injured while protecting me. When my father returned, she was in a very critical condition. The doctor suggested that she abort the child, but she chose to give birth to my younger brother."

"I was staying by my mother's side at the time. She told me that I must give in to my younger brother and take good care of him in the future."

"You know what? My mother was in a very dangerous situation during childbirth. The doctor repeatedly warned her of the dangers, but she still ignored them."

"You know what? Mother didn't close her eyes until she heard her brother crying."

Dongfang Huaizhu's voice was much softer: "She always thought Qin Lan would be my brother, but in fact, she is my sister."

"Tell me, if your mother knew the result, what would she choose?"

The girl was feeling a little down, with tears in her eyes. She had always kept these things in her heart, and she had never told anyone about them.

Su Mu sighed, not knowing how to answer.

"After my mother died, my father blamed himself endlessly, even blaming himself for her death. He was depressed for several years. During that time, I was the one who took care of Qin Lan. I was very young at the time, I didn't know anything, and I was clumsy. Qin Lan had been noisy since she was a child, and I was fed up with it..."

Dongfang Huaizhu couldn't help but smile when talking about the days when he took care of his sister.

Su Mu also listened carefully. He never thought that Dongfang Huaizhu had such a past. He just felt distressed.

"Everything is in the past. Let the troubles go with the wind." Su Mu comforted gently.

"Yeah, it's all over."

Dongfang Huaizhu stretched out his hand, wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, and looked up at him again: "What about you..."

"I...what?"

Su Mu was surprised.

"How long are you going to hold me?"

The girl leaned over slightly, her gentle eyes tinged with cunning, "I've been hugging you for a long time."

Su Mu awkwardly withdrew his hand from Dongfang Huaizhu, but the gentle touch in his hand seemed to still linger on his fingertips.

He liked that slender and soft waist so much.

"Like it?"

Dongfang Huaizhu gently smoothed the black hair on his forehead with his hand and spoke softly.

"what do you like?"

Su Mu looked up in confusion.

"Like just now...hugging."

"like."

Su Mu touched his head with his hand: "I want to hug you forever."

"You said the same thing to your sister, right?"

Dongfang Huaizhu turned his head and looked out the window, his ears red.

Su Mu stepped forward and hugged Dongfang Huaizhu from behind again.

Dongfang Huaizhu struggled a little, but seeing that he was holding her tightly, she stopped resisting.

Su Mu leaned his head on Dongfang Huaizhu's shoulder:

"do you know?"

Dongfang Huaizhu raised her ears slightly, wanting to see how the other party would explain to her.

"You know what? There are two kinds of girls who are the cutest in the world."

"Which two?"

Dongfang Huaizhu had already guessed what Su Mu was going to say. He simply wanted to say that Qin Lan was cute, and then praise her for being cute. It was such a vulgar compliment.

"One is beautiful, the other is smart. Those like Qin Lan are beautiful."

Dongfang Huaizhu felt a little sour in her heart. Could it be that she could only be the smart type? Wasn't she as pretty as her sister?

"But Huaizhu is the smartest and the most beautiful."

Su Mu lowered his head and looked at her with a smile: "Do you know why I like you?"

Dongfang Huaizhu couldn't help but prick up his ears.

“I’ve asked myself this question many times recently.”

“I keep asking myself, but I really don’t know the answer.”

He looked at Dongfang Huaizhu and said gently: "But I know that when you are here, I am happy, and when you are not here, I am upset."
