The Cage Of The Past

"Mr. Gu it's my pŀėȧsurė to serve you. Miss Jiang is a good person that will be rewarded. Don't worry, Mr. Gu, you and miss Jiang will have your baby!"

"Well!" Rouzhen Gu's expression seemed to be glazed, or rather Doctor Mary's words made him glazed. "Doctor Mary, I will try to contact her, thank you!"

"Alright! Goodbye Mr. Gu!" Doctor Mary finished her words and walks towards the elevator.

"That-----" Xiaoxi Chen suddenly remembered her memory, she burst into the hospital corridor while Doctor Mary was walking on her way, she shouted, "Doctor, wait for a while please!"

Rouzhen Gu stunned as he saw Xiaoxi Chen that running over calling the attention of Doctor Mary. "Doctor, please, please wait for a minute, I want to ask something to you!"

"What are you doing?" Rouzhen Gu astonished while trying to stop her.

Xiaoxi Chen strides over and run, didn't pay attention to Rouzhen Gu but grasp Doctor Mary, she turned to her direction and surprise seeing a woman calling her name. Xiaoxi has been excited and doesn't know how she will going to start her words.

Doctor Mary recognize her as the girl who accompanied Rouzhen, she nodded and asked in a very friendly way: "Miss, what's wrong?"

"Doctor, do you remember a gentleman by the name of Mr.Jones? That was five years ago, that time Mr. Jones had accompanied me in this hospital, I am that woman whom you examined for physical clearance," she said.

"Miss!" Doctor Mary smiled kindly. "I know a lot of people with Jones surname but I can't recall which you are looking for or referring to?"

"Do you still remember me?" Xiaoxi Chen pointing at herself asked carefully and waiting for her answer.

Doctor Mary looked at her face and shook her head. "Miss as a doctor, we are meeting more than hundreds of patients in a day, sorry, I couldn't recall old memory!"

Rouzhen Gu seems to figure out what Xiaoxi Chen is about to ask and quickly walked over, held her hand. "Let's go, don't disturb Doctor Mary's job, she is very busy!"

"But------" Xiaoxi Chen shake her head. "Sir, please wait for a while, just for a while, I wanna ask her something!"

Her face was so eager to interrogate the doctor, she wanted to know where Mr. Jones come from, maybe the doctor knew him personally. "Doctor Mary, please think about it. Do you remember me? Five years ago, you're the doctor who examined me, did you forget it? Please, please try to recall it?"

Doctor Mary smiled and seriously looked at Xiaoxi Chen, "Sorry miss, my patient was too many and I can't recall it at this moment, I'm sorry again! I'm in a hurry!"

"Well!" Xiaoxi Chen's face is full of disappointment when hearing her answer.

Rouzhen Gu pulled her over and said to Doctor Mary: "Doctor Mary, my apology to you, we got to go!"

"Alright! Goodbye Mr. Gu!" the doctor said politely and turn back towards the elevator.

Xiaoxi Chen was very disappointed, the doctor didn't recognize her anymore. When can she find Mr. Jones then?

Thinking of her son who had been snatched and Mr. Jones, whom she had met that day in the GU Corp company, Xiaoxi couldn't help but ask Rouzhen again. "Sir, does our company have a manager with a surname of Jones?"

Rouzhen Gu's face changed and shook his head. "We don't have! Why you keep asking me that name?"

"Oh!" She lowers her head and her heart was in pain, dropping few tears quickly from her eyes.

No more hope! No more hope to see him! That was what she's thinking that moment.

Rouzhen Gu watched her walk out faster along the corridor so he followed her quickly. He wanted to run after her and tell her the truth but he is too hesitant to do it as he is afraid of her reaction. Xiaoxi Chen squatted down on the hospital shady corridor, trying to calm down herself. She looks so tired and stressed again.

Rouzhen Gu stood near her waiting for her to be okay. He gets one cigarette from his pocket and began to light it. He felt so bad on himself because he stood like a fool, watching her in a very saddest moment. He clearly understands that Xiaoxi has been looking for their son.

Rouzhen Gu finally walked over as he threw the cigarette buŧŧ from his slender finger. Pick her up and said: "What are you doing? Do you have a concern? Tell me!"

"No, no!" Xiaoxi Chen is aware of her gaffe and shook her head. "I may be mistaken!"

She explained her behavior. "Xiaoxi Chen, my son likes you very much!" He began to tell her again those words.

"Huh?!" She doesn't understand what he is trying to figure out.

"How about becoming my woman and be my son's mother?" He said it casually and took another cigarette then light it up. The smoke he puffs in the air covered his eyes that were full of anticipation that moment.

"Sir!" Xiaoxi Chen looked at him seriously and rebuff. "No!"

He never says any words again but he gave a long sigh. "Let's go, we need to have lunch!"

When the food they ordered arrive they just eat silently no one dares to start a conversation, each of them has something in their mind that bothering them, they didn't even know how the food tastes like.

After eating a few mouthfuls, Xiaoxi Chen wanted to leave. She wasn't felt better.

Rouzhen Gu finally opened his mouth then said: "I wanted to bring you to a place!"

"Where?" Xiaoxi answered without thinking about what he is saying.

"You'll know later!"

Then, two of them didn't speak again, Rouzhen Gu brings her to a high-class kindergarten.

Facing her surprised eyes, Rouzhen Gu explained immediately, "My son has no mother, so he is very introverted and self -abased. Today I only hope you can help me! Please?"

She was still confused and don't understand his action. "How do you want me to help you?"

"Can you be my son's Mommy for a temporary? Please, Xiaoxi?!"

"Sir Rouzhen!" Xiaoxi Chen finally understands what he wants, "Sir, this is not suitable as I am not your kid's mother, he might get upset since a Mommy is irreplaceable!" She said in scared reaction but at the same time felt pity for him. He must love his son so much.

"At least you come to see him today, right?" Rouzhen Gu patiently asks her.

Xiaoxi Chen looked at his face and thought about Han's that moment. The child might get disappointed when he will know he doesn't have a mother, finally, she decided to accept it and nodded. "Okay, I will go and check for him!"

Rouzhen quickly grabbed her head closer and kissed her mouth deeply. He was so happy to hear she accept it. They both gasped for breath when he let her go. "You----are you crazy?" she screamed while covering her mouth with her palm. Rouzhen only gives her a seductive smile.

He quickly got out of his car and opened the car door to let her move. As they walked inside the school, Han's teacher comes out. Rouzhen told him to wait, she doesn't know what this cunning man told to Han's teacher as she suddenly looked at her in a smiling face and return to the room.

After a while.

The little boy dressed in a cute little suit balked out of his classroom. When he saw them standing near the door, first, he was shocked then a sudden bright smile on his small face appears, and he came running towards them.

While looking at his young boy Rouzhen Gu can't explain his emotions and can't help himself not to feel guilty.

He was ready to pick him up as he squatted down expecting his young boy to throw himself to him but Han passed by and ignored his father. He ran toward Xiaoxi Chen and stood in front of her: "Auntie, why did you come here? I am so happy!"

He was so surprised, what's wrong? Why his son ignored him?

Xiaoxi Chen saw his reaction and feel uncomfortable. The child longing for a mother love all this time, so Han felt moved when she came along to pick him up at school.

She was always a soft-hearted person. Seeing the child so pitiful, she wants to cry. She quickly crouched down to encircle his little body, "Han, auntie came to see you, are you obedient enough inside your classroom?"

"Yeah! Auntie, Han is a good boy!" She's hugging him when she heard him asking again, "Auntie, would I see you again? Next time would you still come here with Daddy to pick me up?" She can't dare to break his heart and say no to Han's pleading because she feels the child needs a mother figure.

Xiaoxi Chen takes a lot of effort to control her tears and nod. "Good boy, Han, auntie will come again next time, as long as you like!"

Xiaoxi Chen looked at Han's little face, his eyes were so adorable, this lovely child is like his son. She touched his head and stroke her fingers into his hair. She picked him up and casually showed maternal love by giving Han a sweet smile and tiny kiss on his little face.

Rouzhen Gu saw the scene between the Han and Xiaoxi. He turned around and face off to them, trying to cover his reaction as the water fog began to form at the corner of his eyes. He can't bear the pain seeing them in that kind of scenario. " Han, you forget about Daddy when you saw auntie." He said afterward.

"Daddy! I'm sorry!" Han looks down with an embarrassing reaction. When Xiaoxi put him down Han walked towards Rouzhen Gu and opened his arms signaling for an embrace. Rouzhen quickly picks up his little boy.

"Son, today Daddy gave you a big surprise, '' Are you happy?"

He nodded. Han felt shy and buried his face in Rouzhen shoulder, he then said in a low voice: "Daddy, teacher said, Mommy and Daddy come together to see me. Did, you tell my teacher that auntie is my Mom?"

Rouzhen Gu quickly covers his mouth and inscrutable nod then replied in a similar small voice, "Forbid to tell auntie, if you tell her, I'm afraid she will not come again next time, so do you understand me?"

"But why daddy said auntie is my Mommy?" Rouzhen Gu was surprised for a moment and then smiled.

"Didn't you say that you like auntie?"

"Yes, I did!"

"Since you like auntie help daddy to make her your mom, you get it?" he asked his son seriously.

Xiaoxi didn't understand what the two of them were discussing as they talk in a lower voice. "What are you two whispering?" Xiaoxi Chen watched them seriously as she is so curious to know their topic.

"Nothing!" Rouzhen and Han answered in chorus.

Father and son are being very tacit to say it. They keep their plan in secret.

"Really? Hahaha, I thought you two have secrets!" Xiaoxi Chen laughed, it seems that getting along with children is easy for people to forget their troubles. It is lunchtime already and he suddenly thinks about her son Chao if he is okay. Upon seeing Han today she suddenly missed her son.

She feels pity for Chao at the same time because he grew up without a father in the same situation with Han living alone with his father without a mother. Xiaoxi Chen thinks again his biological son that has been snatched from her five years ago, she felt sad and wanted to know if the child is in a good situation. Desperately, she wanted to find him again.

Han comes down from Rouzhen Gu's arm and runs over to hold Xiaoxi's hand.

The door of their classroom opened, at this time a group of children coming out. They all looked at the two parents standing near the door holding Han's hand. Children began to surround them and said: "Han Gu are they your parents, did they come to see you?"

"Han Gu, your daddy is very handsome!" a little girl is shouting too,

"Han Gu you look handsome too like your dad and your Mommy is very pretty!" smiling little girl said again.

"You have a Mommy?" one little boy asked quickly

Listening to the children gibberish shouting, Han Gu shyly looks at Xiaoxi Chen secretly as expecting her to say yes and would not turn him down.

Therefore he dares to say: "Who said I don't have a mommy, my mommy is here now, she came to pick me up!"

Xiaoxi was surprised, her tears began to fall from her eyes. "Yeah, I came here to see Han!"

Rouzhen Gu made a surprised glanced at her and quickly came walked to her, drew closer and threw his arms around her waist and whispered: "Thank you so much on behalf of my son, thank you for making him so happy and gain his self-esteem in front of other kids today."

Although she does not like to lie, when she sees little Han are so happy and satisfied, she dares to accept to be his mom. A brilliant smile showed in Han's face and she suddenly felt that her time spent with Rouzhen was worthy.

"Son, let's go out to have some fun okay?" Rouzhen Gu was too happy and felt energetic.

Hearing those words, Han was very excited and then suddenly he shook his head. Standing there frowning together, Rouzhen and Xiaoxi looked at him in doubt, he speaks haltingly: "Today, is weekend our teacher would like to teach new characters this afternoon. Although I wanted to go, grandpa said, I need to study seriously,"

"Well, if that's what you want!" Rouzhen Gu was stunned and then smile, pinched his small nose lightly. "My little boy knew the importance of studying even though he is still young, good boy!"

Hearing it Xiaoxi are more distressed for Han, this child resembled his Chao the way they think. Chao at the young age act like an ȧduŀt and think wider than the normal kids. Two kids have different personalities, the other one is energetic and extrovert while this young boy was reluctant and introvert, only they have similarity in intellectual aspect.

What a lovely children? Xiaoxi thinks about it.

"Han is a good boy, therefore, auntie like you so much!" Xiaoxi Chen pats his little face. "Auntie will come and visit you more often in the future!"

Listening to Xiaox's promised, the little fellow got excited and hold Xiaoxi Chen's hand. "Well, auntie it would be good if you become my real Mommy!" he smiled wider and look at Xiaoxi's face then look at Rouzhen too.

"Huh!?" Xiaoxi Chen was surprised and stood up and looked at his earnest appearance with a faint smile on her face. She suddenly suspiciously glanced Rouzhen. Rouzhen act innocently trying to ignore her glances and quickly broke into a naughty smile: "My son's suggestion was good! I wish Secretary Chen would listen to him and think about it!"

Xiaoxi Chen's heart hitched once, god, how would this devil man become so bold saying those words in front of his child. And how come he had a kind of lovely child, like Han? This cunning fox making her trouble!
