Chapter 73 - 73. found her.. (1/2)
Humans are really an interesting species ba.
Even though his feelings for his mother was at a negative scale and he felt disgusted just from watching her cry even though it looked pitiful still, he felt a bit warm when his mother called him with that name, a true irony...maybe, the love he got till this day was so minuscule that even this little thing felt good...human are social animals, we need acceptance from others and the environment he grew up with and the insecurities in his life was all the more reason for him to have a greater thirst for acceptance from just about anyone...his desires to live was strong and even if he could, it wasn't right or him to spend this life alone.....
LIFE is an irony....thinking about this, that face which had been expressionless since the last two years had a smile full of self-sarcasm if that makes sense...no matter how much he wanted to deny it...he was still waiting for someone's love that will fill the void in his heart.
..........
Qin Mo's personal assistant surnamed Feng, who has been standing by his side from the start immediately produced the necessary paperwork and before Mu Xuan could understand what was going on, he had become Qin Xuan.
Qin Mo hadn't laid his eyes on Qin Xuan properly from the start till now and after his daughter signed the papers he finally turned towards him and slightly bent down to reach Xuan's eye-level.
Watching his reflection on those eyes, as deep and dark as an abyss, he felt a shudder even though he had experienced almost everything that the world had to show, still this child was going to be-correction, he was already his kin and his responsibility, because of his daughter's fault he now owed the boy a lot.
He was just a child and compared to the child at home, this boy was too distant from the real world, even he could feel that the walls the boy had created were too high and strong to break...still, he was confident of 'her', even if he couldn't, 'that' child would....she also has a similar experience of not experiencing parental love and though her environment was much much better than his, she was also aloof of this world because of a reason or other....Qin Mo wished that these two could fill the voids left in their heart with each other, it might be a gamble and he was partly selfish when accepting Xuan for 'that' child but he wanted his gamble to succeed because only then would the both of them start enjoying the richness of this world and love...
He cleared his mind and called him out in what seemed like an awkwardly soft voice, ”xiao Xuan, I know it must be sudden to you but from now on we are a family...I wish to get along with you.”
He simply stated his reasons and that was enough for Xuan to get a handle of the situation.
It was very simple and a really good way out for Xuan as all he wanted was salvation.
It didn't matter how but now that there was a chance to get out of this situation and place...this hell, his dull eyes had a certain sparkle to it....but he was still...scared, scared of this world, scared of again being left out, scared of being called a DEMON.
He was hesitant, he didn't speak for quite a while but in the end, his heart won the fight.
”I-I'll be..be in you—r care.”
His voice trembled, his voice was hoarse because of long-term unuse, it sounded feeble but he sounded a bit hopeful too.
The next this Xuan knew, he was taken into a luxurious hotel, he stayed there for about 2 days. On the third day, his 'grandfather' told him that his mother was no more, he guessed she probably committed suicide because of the timing...
