The Cage Of The Past

The CEO chased out after Xiaoxi Chen left, oh god! They really have something! This is everyone's thoughts while seeing them both leave in the restaurant.

Rouzhen Gu walked a few steps ahead to Xiaoxi Chen trying to chase her. They are near the elevator door when Rouzhen intercepts Xiaoxi way, then he stopped in front of her, that made a few passers-by looking at them with imputation thoughts, he lowered his head and whispered: "Secretary Chen, go to my office and wait for me!"

She was shocked yet nodded stiffly at that moment. He intentionally does it to stop her and about to speak another word to Xiaoxi when he noticed they capture other employees attention at that time. He is really an evil one, she silently said it into her mind. She's so frustrated again because Rouzhen put her into another situation that makes everyone think they have a special relationship.

Is it really funny to make people misunderstand? Didn't he say he will not interrupt her and let her be a qualified secretary in GU Corp, this morning? How can a CEO like him act like a bossy person who didn't care about what others may gossip about them? Xiaoxi Chen felt bad the way he chased her.

Ignoring everyone curious expression, Xiaoxi Chen entered the elevator and without a word, she headed back to their office. He went away immediately but the curious attention behind Xiaoxi Chen made her feel embarrassed too!

Xiaoxi Chen knocked on Rozuhen Gu's office after she's back but no one inside the room. She didn't know where he was, she saw him using the exclusive elevator before they separate ways. He only left a message to her saying to wait for him in the CEO's room. He is deliberately doing it to embarrass her. She waited for him a couple of hours but Rouzhen never shows up.

Sure enough, Rouzhen Gu's words at the elevator door were intentionally misleading her. She left at work in a rumor after she finished her job, some of the employees at the elevator looked at her in disdain. Suddenly she felt very tired that she never had felt before. She didn't provoke anyone but why people looking at her as if she had done a big mistake in life.

Outside the company, she's still in low energy and feeling uneasy while thinking where does Rouzhen go? She walked faster and took the bus with anxious. She picks up Chao at school and they head back home. She quickly took a bath so that she could calm down herself.

After dinner, Chao was busy and sitting in front of the computer, he said: "Mom, I've contacted that uncle I mentioned to you earlier but he is not online. I don't know whether I can get in touch with him or not!"

"Chao, don't be too serious, you are still a child happiness should be your priority!" Xiaoxi Chen looked at her son while saying it. She's so touched that he has such a persistent spirit when doing something.

"Mommy today is your rest day I suggest you go out and do the shopping. Young women nowadays enjoyed their life by doing those activities, but I recognized you always stay at home, go ahead try to explore other things outside our home".

"Oh!" Xiaoxi Chen leaned against the door and looked at this little kid happily, who spoke like an ȧduŀt. Although Chao was at home alone since he was four years old she felt that she owed him something! "Mommy doesn't want to go out?"

"Go, go now! You look tired today try to loosen up your stressed!" Chao stood up and get her bag then give it to her while pushing her towards the door. "Mommy you don't have to stay with me after work, I can take care of myself!"

She felt so sad today that Rouzhen didn't come back to his office. She decided to leave home to give herself a break.

At Rouzhen Gu's Mansion at that time…..

"Master it's good you're here, the young master has been refusing to eat!" The servant told Rouzhen when he stepped in the main door. He was about to return to his office to talk to Xiaoxi when he received an emergency call at home saying Han is not okay? He hurriedly back in his villa to check his son.

"Why? What happened to my son?" Rouzhen Gu sounds worried. He handed his jacket to the servant while asking her.

"Young master has been reluctant to speak after return from school. He seemed to have trouble in school. I had asked him but he refuses to tell me, I don't know what's going on!"

"Okay, I will check him. Go now and prepare his food!" Rouzhen Gu walked quickly towards the stairs.

Open the door at Han Gu's room.

"Han daddy is here! What's a wrong son?" Rouzhen Gu asking it immediately when he saw his son.

"Han? Baby, what's wrong? Rouzhen Gu asked again when he come near him. He picked up his son into his arm. Han buried his face in his shoulder and his voice was very weak. He whispered: "Daddy!"

Rouzhen walked toward his son's bed and put him down. He sat near him and raised his head: "Hey, c' mon look at Daddy, does Han met something unpleasant?" his voice was about to break. He can't stand seeing his son in this kind of situation. He raised his child alone for five years, giving the best things in life.

What caught his eye was his small face with tears, Rouzhen Gu sighed. His child has been very introverted and well-behaved but this time he is crying, must be something makes him unhappy.

"You look upset. What's going on? Tell daddy!"

"Daddy!" he screamed but refuse to talk.

Rouzhen Gu hugged him while letting him cry. For a few minutes, Han did not speak only keeps on sobbing. Han free himself from Rouzhen hug then lowered his head, took another minute of silence again.

"Han, a boy needs to tell something that bothers him, must have the courage to face difficulties! You are daddy's son, be brave! Come on, what happened?"

"Daddy! Han commit mistakes at school!"

"Huh?" now tell me what was it?" Rouzhen Gu continued to listen.

"Han had a fight with other children at school today!" Han wiped his tears. "I know it's wrong as you always remind me to act politely every time but …"

"But what?" Rouzhen asked patiently.

"They said that I am a child without a mother, and said that my mom is a bitch!" Han's voice becomes lower when saying it.

Rouzhen got shocked and felt pity for his son. About Han's mother, his son never dared to ask him even once, he is curious about her but he doesn't know why his mom never shows up in their house.

Han's words made Rouzhen Gu froze at the moment. He instantly hugged his son again.

"Daddy, does Han really have no mommy?" Han raised his face, his eyes were red, his eyes were full of tears that shed in his small face. He looked at Rouzhen Gu's face carefully waiting for his answer. He is afraid that his Dad will get angry.

"Daddy, Mommy is not a bitch, is it?"

Rouzhen Gu looked at his son and look into deep thinking of something that only him understand. After a long silence, he finally said.

"Han, please remember that your Mom is not a bitch. Daddy will bring Mommy back home soon. Can you please give Daddy a little bit of time to do it?"

"Well, It's Han's mommy, promise I will pick her up soon! Can you be more patient?" Rouzhen asked earnestly trying to console his son.

"Daddy, will it take a long time?"

"It won't be too long, but Mommy doesn't recognize daddy yet because Dad did something wrong to her. I will let Mommy accept me slowly, can you wait for it?"

"I can!" Han immediately answered. He really doesn't understand what his Dad blurted out but he still nodded seriously. The little face smile sheepishly. Although there's still had tears in his eyes, he looks excited.

"Han will listen to what daddy said!"

Rouzhen Gu felt relieved when seeing his son become lively again. He never faced this kind of situation before. Regarding Han's mother, he already mentioned it today but he really doesn't know how to reach out Xiaoxi Chen and tell her the truth. Is he entitled to stand in front of her to ask for her forgiveness and bring her into his son's life?

After all, he knows his mistake. He separated her and Han for five years. If she knew the truth that it was him would she hate him? All those worries lingered Rouzhen's mind. He had done a big mistake in life and when he met her again she's not the old innocent nineteen years old girl that he took in his villa five years ago. She resists him several times and even mentioned about her boyfriend.

He is really in big trouble, confused and no specific plan of how he will going to tell Xiaoxi about it. He chased her lately but the woman refused to be his lover. He can sacrifice everything for his son, but what about Xiaoxi when she knows the truth? Will she leave her boyfriend? Rouzhen Gu was not confident for the first time in his life.

He heard knocking on the door that return his mind in reality. A few seconds the door opened and Han's nanny coming in with a tray full of food for both of them. She immediately put down the food in the center table then quickly asked: "Young master, are you okay now?"

Han smiled and nodded. The servant left them and Rouzhen feeds his son. After dinner he changes his son's clothes and took him to bed, reading a bedtime story until his cute little boy went to sleep.

When Rouzhen opened the computer he saw a lot of pop-up dialog box!

"Uncle, why aren't you getting online?"

"Uncle, I want to show you my game, why don't you come online lately?

"Uncle, did you forget what you've promised me?"

"Uncle are you busy chasing and flirting girls?"

"Uncle, I will be angry if you don't come online!"

"Uncle, hey come on replied to my messages asap!"

Rouzhen Gu could not help laughing after reading so many messages. He knew it was the little boy he met. Without a guess and thinking of that little kid, Rouzhen Gu suddenly remembered that he didn't ask his name and his mother's name.

It's hard to coax Han just now. Now he received the message from this child. Rouzhen Gu replied it patiently: "I'm online now!"

He saw him typing.

"Ah! Uncle, uncle, finally you are here!" Rouzhen Gu was so surprised that the message replied from the kid is so fast, the typing speed is better way faster than him. He wondered if this little boy was very intelligent.

He hasn't replied to the message yet, and the message is coming again.

"Uncle, my game, please look at it and give me suggestions! Also, don't disclose it, I have a copyright on it!"

"Hahaha ...are you serious young boy?" Rouzhen Gu could help but laugh and his mind was filled with the child quick-witted appearance.

"Okay!" Rouzhen Gu replied a word.

"Uncle, are you busy?"

"Why are you asking so?"

"Because you're so slow to answer my questions!"

"Uh!" I am with my son."

"Doe's it difficult to reply? Why can't you reply it with more words? Well, The words I know is still limited compared to you. Uncle, I still don't recognize all the characters!"

"How old are you?"

"Five years old, but my teacher said that I can skip and go to primary school, but I haven't told my mommy yet. Uncle, do you think I need to skip the class level and jump to primary level?"

What a high IQ! Rouzhen Gu marveled and then curiously opened the game he sent. He was stunned for a moment!

If he hasn't seen this child's face before, he wouldn't have believed he is only five years old because the game software he designed is no different with the game designers that come out from formal colleges.

"Uncle, do you think whether I need to skip the lower grade level?" Another message pop-up.

"Why do you think of doing it?"

"I want to do it to help my mom save a lot for my tuition fees!"

Rouzhen Gu was so shocked and his heart feels sad. " Is your family having a lot of difficulties?"

"Uncle only my mom raised me. He had a good job but only enough for our needs. Uncle let's chat each other some other time, I need to call my Mom, she hasn't come back home yet, it's too late now! Please leave some feedback about the game I sent you. Goodbye!"

Rouzhen Gu looked at the profile photo of the child. Suddenly the kid has gone offline and his heartfelt loss with no reason.

"Dad! Why aren't you asleep yet?" he heard his son voice who suddenly wake up. Han was very happy to be coaxed because he learned today that her mom will come home soon.

"I will sleep soon! Now close your eyes again. Daddy will need to change clothes first." Looking at his son like this, Rouzhen Gu sighed desperately. This is the right action of the child should be for five years old, but the child he talked online a minutes ago is too mȧturė to makes people feel pity!

Suddenly he feels upset. How can she able to talk Xiaoxi and confess everything? He had promised his son to bring her back soon yet he finds it difficult to do. He falls into deep thinking giving him so much headache. He has been a single father for five years.

Rouzhen Gu stood up after he saved the game. "Han, go back to sleep now. I will tell another story to you the next day. I will be coming home often. Now I have to go out for a while." He said and come to his son's bed. Lowered his head and kissed his forehead.

"Goodnight son!" The little boy just nodded then closed his eyes again.

Xiaoxi Chen was driven out by his son to go shopping. She actually went shopping but she didn't have that feeling to enjoy it. She's watching the light on the street and her heart was melancholy.

She was thinking about her biological son at that time. She doesn't know where her son is and how is he doing?

The phone rang, and Xiaoxi Chen saw it was Chaoxing Bai, who called. "Where have you been and why you leave Chao at home alone?" Chaoxing loud voice came out with exaggeration.

"I am on the street. Taking a walk!" Xiaoxi Chen looked at the crowd.

"Please come back, I am at home now and not ȧssure that Chao is staying home alone."

"It doesn't matter, Chaoxing , Chao is a good boy and he can take care of himself!" She said while looking at the entire street where she felt better and calm.

"Are you okay? You feel sad I know even you will not be going to tell me the truth. Sometimes we all feel sad and upset with so many things in life but you need to be strong!" Chaoxing sighed. Faster come back home now it's getting late and your son is too worried about you!"

"Okay!" Just hang up the phone, suddenly someone came in and robbed her phone.

"Ah!" Xiaoxi Chen was shocked and screamed while looking at the thief rushing forward.

"Catch the thief, return my phone------

She is shouting and chase the thief wildly, the phone was expensive and she does not want to owe another debt again to buy a new one.

On the street, Xiaoxi Chen ran quickly and chased the thief in front of her, causing many people to pay attention.

A sapphire blue Bugatti drove aimlessly. Suddenly, he saw the rushing figure in front of him and he stunned.
