The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 117: The So-Called Truth

Fu Xiao followed him with a calm expression.

At the doorstep, she saw two figures standing under the large tree not far from the entrance.

Mu Lianshen was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday, his face devoid of any emotion. Hearing the footsteps, he turned around, and his gaze, bypassing several people, landed directly on Fu Xiao, who was at the end.

"Commander Mu, I've already said that if there's anything, you should come directly to me... She's just a child, she doesn't understand anything."

Fu Weihao stepped forward to block his gaze, speaking coldly.

Mu Lianshen pressed his thin lips together and looked at Fu Weihao with a hint of pleading in his deep-set eyes. "I just want to talk to her."

In the end, Fu Weihao gave them space, but he still stood not far away, not leaving.

The two stood under the large tree, neither of them speaking first. Mu Lianshen simply stared at her, his eyes deep and complicated.

Fu Xiao looked up at the sky and spoke淡淡ly, "What exactly do you want to talk about?"

Mu Lianshen's gaze fell on the girl's neck, where a horrific bruise from strangling was visible beneath her scarf. He trembled as he raised his hand, but Fu Xiao avoided it.

He stunnedly lowered his hand, fists clenched tightly by his sides, and said, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have hurt you..."

"Is that all you want to say?"

"No..."

He had many things he wanted to tell her.

He wanted to cherish her, call her by her name, and tell her how much he loved her.

From the moment his mother was pregnant with her, he had been looking forward to and longing for a soft and delicate daughter.

It didn't matter who she resembled, as long as she was a girl.

He and Shushu had picked name after name, all feeling unworthy for his daughter.

But now, time had passed, and his daughter indeed resembled him. Her eyes were like Shushu's and she was very cute.

But she hated him...

The pain flashing in his eyes was also visible to Fu Xiao.

But her heart was unmoved; late affection was worth less than grass.

Whether it was familial or romantic love, it was the same.

Fu Xiao's voice was cold and distant. "Commander Mu, let's address my question from yesterday,"

She turned to look at him. "When will the harm to the Fu family stop..."

Upon hearing this, Mu Lianshen did not answer directly. Instead, he stood before her, slightly bending his body, looking straight at her. His eyes were slightly red, but his face carried a smile, and he spoke softly, "I loved your mother very much. She was the only woman I've ever loved in this life. I loved her like my life..."

"Although now, due to certain reasons, we've come to this point, I still love her. If I could see her again, even if it cost me my life, I wouldn't hesitate."

The smile at the corner of his mouth grew more bitter, and his eyes reddened even more. "So, child, I would never harm her family, and I would never harm you."

Fu Xiao tilted her head slightly, looking at the bitterly smiling man in front of her with a trace of mocking. "I remember, you're remarried, right?"

Before he could respond, she continued, "And you have a child named Mu Nianshu..."
