âIs it?â Bai Xiachenâs eyes were full of laughter after hearing that defensive excuse, but it didnât even compare to the beaming face he showed after catching a glimpse of that lovely red figure slowly descending from the air. âMOTHER!â
Likely due to not being aware of the person that has landed behind herself, Sisi actually believed the little rascal was calling out to herself and became warmed by the thought. It couldnât be helped, after this little devil came to their home things havenât been the same. Itâs downright chaotic and a mess.
It looks like my efforts have paid off. This little guy now knows whatâs best for him and accepted me in his heartâ¦.
Just when Sisi was getting jubilant over that idea, Bai Xiachen had already shirked off her hands to run past towards the doorway. This left the wolf lady completely frozen there. Stiffly turning around with those fingers still hanging in the air, what came into her view was Bai Yanâs gorgeous contour.
Before either of the girls could say another word though, Bai Xiachen had already thrown himself into those arms: âMother, I miss you so much, how come you didnât come find me earlier? Is it because Baddie Father wonât let you come?â
Compared to his previous cunning appearance, the little steambun was now portraying a pitiful and sad face like heâs been ghreatly wronged. It couldnât be helped. In the little guyâs mind, its always Di Cang whoâs the bad person and the one trying to fight him for Bai Yanâs attention.
In retrospect, the doting mother here on the other hand was flabbergasted by the first comment coming out of her sonâs mouth. What did Di Cang ever do to make our boy think like thisâ¦.?
âAm I not here now Sweetie?â Tightly embracing the little guy, her face dons a warm smile.
Itâs so nice having a son aroundâ¦..
Back over at Sisiâs side, the wolf lady was frozen all over as an uncontrollable panic shook her entire existence due to the dismay growing from within.
How can it be? Didnât he have amnesia? Why would this little thing remember his own mother?
As reluctant as Bai Xiachen was about letting go, he did after a long hug. Turning around to face the deceitful witch, his lips had turned into a sarcastic snarl: âOh yeah, I forgot to tell you people. Motherâs been feeding me various herbs and drugs since I was little so Iâm immune to most poison. The little drug you gave me have no effect.â
Faltering backwards over that bombshell of a truth, Sisi kept shaking her head like this was some kind of lie. No, this canât be! Is he saying that everything is a lie? The amnesia is a lie? NOOOO!!
âWhy are you doing this, why?!â She finally understood why the kidâs behavior was so abominably horrible. Itâs because its all a act!
Puckering his lip to one side like itâs something obvious: âDidnât you want to use me to deal with my baddie father? If so then why wouldnât I use you to my advantage? Instead of me going to look for him, its easier to just sit around and wait.â
With her finger pointed at the rascal, Sisi found her tongue tied there. She couldnât utter a word against him as tear and despair slowly filled those eyes.
âSon, be good and wait here for me.â Leaning downward, Bai Yan gives her boy a peck on the forehead to seal the deal.
