The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1843

Chapter 1843: 912 Reunion (Second Update)

Yao Family looked down at her son in her arms, guiding him to speak: "Xiaobao is not lazy, so what is Xiaobao?"

Gu Xiaobao spread his five fingers and gently patted his small chest: "Xiaobao is smart."

The whole room burst into laughter at his words.

Gu Jiao looked curiously at Gu Xiaobao: "He can talk so well now. When I left, Xiaobao could only cry."

Yao Family smiled: "He’s one year and eight months old now."

He started walking late, only willing to stand at one year and two months, and only last month did he start walking on his own.

But he did start talking early, saying his first ’mama’ at eleven months. She remembered Yanyan and Jin Yu only started speaking after their first birthday.

She wondered about Jiaojiao...

Thinking of her daughter growing up in the countryside, with no knowledge of her growth, Yao Family felt both guilty and distressed.

Little Jing Kong drooped his small head, looking lifeless: "Master, please put me down, my head’s spinning from being shaken."

"When did I shake you?" He was holding him up, not moving at all, wasn’t he?

Little Jing Kong spread his hands and sighed: "Ah, Master, you’re too handsome, that’s why your beauty made me dizzy!"

Liao Chen: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Yao Family knew Xuanyuan Qi and his son wanted to reunite with Jing Kong, so she stood up with Gu Xiaobao in her arms and said to them: "I’ll go check on the kitchen."

After saying this, she gave a glance to Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan.

"We’ll go too." Gu Yan understood immediately, pulling Gu Xiaoshun, who was still admiring the Grand Marshal, to the backyard.

"Mandarin Ducks, come over too," Yao Family called out to Mandarin Ducks.

"Yes, madam."

Mandarin Ducks put down the sliced fruits and followed Yao Family out of the main house.

The previously noisy room instantly became quiet.

Before coming, Xuanyuan Qi had discussed with Gu Jiao and Liao Chen about reuniting with Little Jing Kong.

Between hiding it and telling him, the three unanimously chose the latter.

Jing Kong wasn’t an ordinary child; he was precocious, intelligent, and exceptionally gifted, but at the same time, he had a very sensitive heart.

From birth till he was three years old, he had been abandoned more than once.

Gu Jiao remembered when she first talked to him, he had packed his small bag, ready to go down the mountain to be adopted, but the family changed their mind and didn’t want him anymore.

Gu Jiao still felt the loneliness of Little Jing Kong, who sat all alone on that stone bench, even now.

He even believed that his parents didn’t want him because they didn’t like him.

After being adopted by Gu Jiao, he inadvertently showed caution, worried about becoming a burden to her, worried about being sent back...

At his age, he was dealing with things he shouldn’t have to.

He needed to understand that he had parents who loved him very much and that he was a child born of their expectations.

He was not abandoned.

Liao Chen set his disciple down.

Gu Jiao took his hand, letting him look at Xuanyuan Qi opposite, and softly said: "Jing Kong, that’s your grand-uncle."

"Grand-uncle?" Little Jing Kong widened his eyes in surprise, clearly not fully understanding the term.

Gu Jiao paused for a moment and said, "That’s your father’s uncle."

Little Jing Kong’s eyes widened even further: "I have a father?"

Gu Jiao patted his small head: "Yes, you have a father and mother who love you very much."

Little Jing Kong looked up into Gu Jiao’s eyes: "Then why didn’t they want me?"

Gu Jiao sincerely looked at him, removing a small petal from his head, and gently said: "They wanted you, it’s just that they went to a very distant place and couldn’t take you with them."

Little Jing Kong tilted his head, thinking: "Like when Jiao Jiao went to fight a battle and couldn’t take me?"

Xuanyuan Qi looked nervously at Gu Jiao.

Having intended to tear apart the veil of transparency, everyone felt it was too harsh at this point.

He was only six years old.

He shouldn’t have to grow up with the pain of losing his parents.

Gu Jiao paused for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Yes, it’s something like that."

"Oh." Little Jing Kong nodded thoughtfully.

Xuanyuan Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why didn’t you lie to him?"

"What good would lying do? Failure is failure, and a benevolent lie is the most boring thing in the world."

She really had changed a lot.

Empathetic, able to feel others’ emotions, and willing to change her principles for them.

Little Jing Kong was a very smart child, exceptionally gifted in learning, but some things were beyond his comprehension so he couldn’t question them.

"Will they come to see me?" he asked Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao softly replied: "They can’t come, they’ve asked your grand-uncle to come visit you instead. Are you... disappointed?"

"A little." Little Jing Kong scratched his head and honestly said, "But since they didn’t abandon me, I’ll reluctantly forgive them!"

Gu Jiao’s lips curved into a smile.

Xuanyuan Qi and Liao Chen both visibly relaxed.

Let him live with hope.
