Happy to oblige the request, Bai Ning said: âAlright, how can I refuse when youâre insisting already? I will call you Yanâer from now on. By the way, do we know each other at some point?â Her soft gentle voice left Bai Yan visibly shaken because the way she said it hinted at something else. âTruth is I donât remember much about my past anymore, but I always felt like I should have a daughter. I know this because I was holding a babyâs dudou when I came too again after losing my memories. So, Iâve always believed my loved ones would come find me one day.â
Making a sigh, the lamenting ladyâs mind faded back to the time where she would yearn for someone to come seek her return to where family and friends waited. Sadly, that day never came and eventually she too began to lose hope, replacing the feeling with disappointment and regret.
Bai Yan acted right away upon hearing that shocking revelation. Dilating her eyes into a squint, she promptly shot her spiritual feelers out for examination.
The patient herself naturally sensed the intrusion into her own body, but Bai Ning didnât resist and closed her eyes instead, thus allowing the other side to freely explore her condition. Make no mistake, she would never allow someone free range exploration of her inner body, especially someone sheâs just met and no longer than a few minutes! However, a strong urging from deep within told Bai Ning to get closer to this young lady without any specific reasoning.
âMotherâ¦â Bai Xiachen blinks and turns to ask his parent, âIs something wrong with Pretty Grannyâs body?â
Showing a complex expression, Bai Yan eventually spoke to explain her findings: âHer memories has been sealed, thatâs why she couldnât remember the past.â
Sealed?
Visibly shaken by the news, Bai Ning furrowed her temple until the entire face had scrunched up: âMy memory loss is not because of an injury, but a seal? Who couldâve done this to me?â
It looks like she is unaware of her own memories being sealedâ¦. Bai Yan thought, her eyes narrowing into a dangerous slit because she could already guess who did it.
âForgive me for asking, but do you know someone by the name of Ning Yuan?â
âBrother Yuan, you know him?â Surprise apparent on her face, Bai Ning reveals a smile at the mention of the name, âDuring the years when I lost my memory, it was Brother Yuan who kept me company. Heâs a good person and saved me from danger several times already so I consider him someone as close as a brother.â
The only shame is Brother Yuan having unwanted ideas about me, otherwise I wouldnât have snubbed him and kept my distance latelyâ¦.
Bai Yan could see the sort of face her mother made at the mention of that scum, thatâs why she held back on saying more than itâs required right now. Trying to poke at someone whoâs made such good memories in someone that has lost their past wouldnât be a wise choice, in fact, it could ruin her own chances of taking back her own mother before their relationship could even begin.
âAuntie Ning.â
Dun Dun Dun
A series of running steps unloaded between the stairs, followed closely by the appearance of a beautiful looking young girl hovering on the petite size. Though that face was innocent and kind looking on the surface, but the dirty light in those eyes couldnât be completely hidden when skimming over the kids in that moment.
âAuntie Ning, this lady isâ¦.â
âOh, her name is Bai Yan, Xiachenâs mother.â Bai Ning didnât know why either but she just didnât want to make the introduction, hence the faint frown on her face when speaking.
