Pricking up his mouth, the little steam bun replies: āThe baddie is so fierce, I donāt want him!ā
Inside Bai Xiachenās little heart, only those who are gentle and kind can be good to his mother.
āButā¦ā Tilting his head, āOut of consideration for his help today, I will admit his status as Baddie Father even if Iām a bit reluctant.ā
Only Baddie Fatherā¦.
āLetās go then,ā Holding those baby hands, Bai Yan led the way with a brilliant smile: āEveryone should be waiting for us at the Lan residence. We should go home now.ā
Go homeā¦ā¦
That comment causes the boy to blink with astonishment. Because aside from their home at the Holy Island, they now have a home here too!
āMother, do you like Baddie Father?ā Bai Xiachen asks with great difficulty.
If his mother likes the man then he will too. Though not fully willing, but he will still do that for his motherās sake.
Pausing, Bai Yan halted in her steps as the image of Di Cangās arrogant face comes to mind. āI donāt mind nor do I hate him,ā she shakes her head in the end after a brief contemplation.Ā Thatās right, thatās all there isā¦.
āThat so?ā
Bai Xiachen may be still ignorant about things like love, but thereās a nagging notion thatās been bothering him up to this point. Itās the way his mother treats everyone else compared to his father, she didnāt directly refuse like how she did with his godfather back at the Holy Land.
Just when Bai Xiachen was still thinking about all these unnecessary things, Bai Yan had come knocking down with her fist at the babyās head: āQuit thinking about all these unrelated matters. Regardless of your godfather or that man, I wonāt accept either of them.ā
Unlike some woman out there, Bai Yan wasnāt the type to give herself out so easily. This was especially true when she still hasnāt thoroughly understood the other side yet.
āHow sad, Iām a child without a father.ā Making an aggrieved face, the little steam bun covers his head like heās still hurt, thus forcing his mother to rub it for comfort.
āAs long as Di Cang doesnāt try to take you away then you can always go find him,ā she declares. As a mother, Bai Yan understands that keeping a child from their father can be a cruel thing to do. Therefore she will allow them to meet, but thatās all, she will never how her son to be taken away without her permission!
In response to her motherās remark, Bai Xiachen only uttered a small affirming cry.
In truth, he didnāt care much about his father, he only wants a sister, thatās all.
ā¦ā¦
Once the pair arrives at home, Old Madam Lan was the first to come greet them. Rushing over in haste, she literally did a full body checkup in order to confirm their well-being.
However annoying as that maneuver was, it did cheer the little steam bun up. Donning a bright smile, he happily went over the various encounters and places he saw inside the palace. Also, he made sure to inform Lan Shaoling (big cousin) of his task of carrying out the punishment.
Looking at the excited face of the kid, Old Lord Lanās usual grumpy attitude too became a smiling one. Not bothering to wait, he tasked the servants to bring out the dishes for dinner.
Once the food was done and everyone ready to head back to their rooms, Bai Yan was stopped in her steps when a white pigeon broke through the window and lands right in front of her.
āMistress, who sent the letter?ā Little Rice asked after seeing the woman unscrolling the message from the pigeonās leg.
āSheās here.ā Perhaps itās her mood being very joyous, even her eyes are full of smiles.
Sheās here?Ā Blinking at the statement, Little Rice didnāt quite understand who Bai Yan was referring to.
āLittle Rice, in a bit I want you to tell my son that Iām going out to pick up someone.ā
