A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

Chapter 315 I'm Moving Out

Lu Congyue became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice grew increasingly hoarse.

The two children were terrified and burst into tears, running into Zhuang Qingxiang's arms.

The children's cries kept Zhuang Qingxiang from thinking, and she didn't want to think.

Her mind and heart are in turmoil right now.

"Lu Congyue, can you please stop making a scene? Can't we both calm down?"

"Okay!" Lu Congyue said immediately, "Then you stay here and calm down, don't go anywhere."

Zhuang Qingxiang's breath hitched, then a sense of despair welled up within her, and she asked in a suppressed voice, "Are you really going to force me to my death?"

Lu Congyue stared at her in disbelief, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"I'm moving out," Zhuang Qingxiang said again. "If you're worried about not being able to take care of Donghua, I can take him with me. You don't need to make a fuss."

Lu Congyue felt that everything he had just said had been in vain.

He was about to offer his heart, but she said he was yelling and screaming at her to the point of death.

Suddenly I felt very tired, both mentally and physically.

Seeing that he had finally calmed down, Zhuang Qingxiang coaxed the child to continue packing the clothes. This time, she also brought Xiao Donghua's clothes.

Lu Congyue knew he couldn't stop her. After a long silence, seeing that she had finished packing her clothes, he said, "Yueyue hasn't gotten out of school yet. Wait for her at home. I'll go to the house first and tidy up."

Zhuang Qingxiang paused, lowered her head, and stared blankly at the bundle in her hands.

"I won't stop you from moving, but I must guarantee your safety! I'll come back and take you there after I've packed up, okay?"

Zhuang Qingxiang nodded silently.

Lu Congyue turned around and strode away, heading straight for the house in Changxing Hutong.

As soon as he left, Zhuang Qingxiang felt exhausted and frowned as she looked at the bundle she had packed.

The three children and their own clothes already filled a huge bag, and they also had to bring bedding and sheets...

It's such a hassle to move things in one or two trips; I can't keep running into him.

Upon thinking of Lu Congyue, Zhuang Qingxiang immediately shook her head, not wanting to think about him for even a second.

Whenever I think of him, I think of the night I conceived my son.

Perhaps because I am unaware of what happened that night, I tend to overthink things and feel disgusted and repulsed.

What makes her even more desperate is that knowing that the person who was there that night was Lu Congyue doesn't lessen that feeling.

Especially when Lu Congyue knew what had happened but still kept it from her, and watched her foolishly and even happily change the child's surname to his, was he particularly proud?

Zhuang Qingxiang slammed her hand on her head to stop herself from thinking any further and continued packing her things.

Only by keeping her busy can she stop overthinking.

When we finished tidying up, Xiao Luyue came home from school. As soon as she entered the house, she started chattering and calling for her mother, and then asked why her father hadn't come to pick her up.

Before Zhuang Qingxiang could answer, she exclaimed in surprise again.

"Mom, are you packing? Are you going back to the village?"

Xiao Luyue panicked.

Looking at the huge bundle, she felt as if her mother was packing up everything to take with her.

"Mom, you can't leave me. I want to stay with you." She cried as she hugged Zhuang Qingxiang.

Her crying disturbed the two younger children. They stared at her blankly for a moment, then pouted and were about to cry as well.

Zhuang Qingxiang quickly comforted Xiao Luyue, telling her to look at her two younger brothers and not to cry.

She already had a splitting headache, and if the three children cried together, her headache would be unbearable.

Lu Yue tried to hold back her sobs, but tears still streamed down her face as she nestled into Zhuang Qingxiang's arms and refused to look up.

Zhuang Qingxiang had to reassure her first: "How could Mom leave you behind? Didn't Mom buy a house? I'm thinking of moving there for a while, of course I'll take you and your brothers with me."

Little Lu Yue raised her teary-eyed face: "Really?"

"Of course it's true, your father..." Zhuang Qingxiang paused, then finished with difficulty, "Your father has already gone to pack up and will come to pick us up in a little while."

So we're moving to a new house! Little Lu Yue immediately stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and cheered up again: "Our whole family is moving there? Why? The house here is quite nice too."

Zhuang Qingxiang gave a vague reply without explaining further, only telling her to hurry up and take care of her younger brothers, as she still had a lot of things to pack.

Xiao Luyue didn't understand why they had to move, but her mother said, "Let's move then, as long as we don't go back to the village."

As it was getting dark, Lu Congyue returned carrying the food he had bought from the state-run restaurant.

He knew that Zhuang Qingxiang was definitely not in the mood to cook or eat.

"I asked the head chef at the state-run restaurant to steam egg custard for the two children. I also ran into Sister Jin and told her about my accommodation. Sister Jin was very happy."

Lu Congyue spoke in a low voice, secretly glancing at Zhuang Qingxiang, hoping she would say that she had thought it through and wouldn't move out.

Unfortunately, she didn't say anything, but only urged Xiao Luyue to eat quickly while she fed the two little ones with steamed egg custard.

Lu Congyue also lost his appetite and continued, "I cleaned the place up; it's safe for people to live in, but it's too late to borrow a car. I'll ride my bicycle over there first, and you..."

"Thank you," Zhuang Qingxiang said indifferently, without even looking up. "I'll lead them there on foot after we finish eating."

Lu Congyue paused, then stopped talking. He simply carried a large bundle out the door, tied it to the back of his bicycle, secured it firmly, and set off on his bike.

While eating, Xiao Luyue noticed that the atmosphere at home was strange, but seeing Zhuang Qingxiang's expression, she wisely kept quiet and didn't ask.

When Xiao Luyue finished eating, Zhuang Qingxiang also fed the two little ones.

I opened the cupboard and saw the baby formula, malted milk powder, biscuits, and bottles for the two little ones...

She knew that things had come to this point, and if she had any backbone at all, she shouldn't have taken these things; they were all specially bought by Lu Congyue.

But thinking of her two children, she decided to be thick-skinned.

She carefully put all the items into the bag slung across her shoulder, then put the two little ones into the stroller, and called to Xiao Luyue to set off together.

As the sun set and the light was still decent, the three children and one adult were quite safe walking on the road.

I wouldn't dare walk like this at night.

When Lu Congyue finished delivering a bundle and was on his way back, he ran into Zhuang Qingxiang and her three children.

He felt a pang of sadness and wanted to ask her if she was in such a hurry? Couldn't she even wait for him to come back and take them home?

But in the end, he didn't ask anything. He just silently took the bag from Zhuang Qingxiang, put Xiao Luyue on the bicycle, and pushed the bicycle to follow behind Zhuang Qingxiang.

Lu Yue's unease intensified, and she couldn't help but ask softly, "Daddy, why are we moving?"

Lu Congyue thought for a long time before coming up with a reason: "Your mother likes it."

Xiao Luyue: "..." Are all adults this willful?

"Mom seems unhappy. Did you upset her?" she asked again.
