Only then did Bai Yan notice her own belly who was much larger than before. Flashing a look of surprise: âDi Cang, how long did I say asleep?â
âThree months.â DI Cang answers with his gentle voice.
This news undoubtedly brought a sigh of relief for the expected mother because three months meant there are still some time before she goes into labor. Imagine not waking upâ¦. Then that really would be catastrophic!
âPromise me Di Cang, you must wake me up no matter what happens in the future. I donât want my baby to be in any danger.â
Tightly holding his wifeâs hand: âSorry, I failed to protect youâ¦â
Ifâ¦. If I had appeared earlier, perhaps Yanâer wouldnât have suffered such a serious injury.
âItâs not your fault Di Cang, itâs me who left by myself so the fault is not yours.â That said, Bai Yan then shifts her attention over to her son, âXiachen, Iâm glad you are safe. If something like this happens again you must promise me to not come out again, okay?â
She cares about that wisp of grudge inside, thereâs no question about that, but she also equally worried for the main soul. If somehow one overcomes the other, then what was she going to do? Bai Yan couldnât bear to destroy one to save the other.
Careful and gentle in his hands, Bai Xiachen wraps himself around that bulging belly: âI will protect you Mother, if not⦠if I canât do it then I would rather disappear on my own.â
Casting his eyes downward in a dejected manner, If only that bastard didnât lose control whenever he takes control of our body, otherwise I can still work with him. Now the only way to make him sane is to use that method, butâ¦.. it will mean me leaving Mother forever. What am I supposed to do?
There are tears filling those eyes of his, making the boy look all the more pitiful.
âOh Xiachen,â leaning down to give her son a hug, Bai Yan didnât notice the abnormality of her sonâs behavior, âYou will not disappear, I wonât let that happen.â
Making a huge grin at the promise, those words were honey to the boyâs ear: âMmm, I am very fond of Mother too so I donât want to leave either. I⦠canâtâ
Besides, the boy still hasnât taken care of his sister yet, what if the other version of himself starts bullying her?
Soâ¦â¦
Whether it be for this world or his little sister, the little steambun didnât have the heart to leave for good.
âBy the way, whereâs Dragony?â Bai Yan suddenly thought of something which caused her to raise a eyebrow: âNormally she would run to me whenever I wake up, how come sheâs not here?â
Di Cang was taken aback by the reminder. According to his memory, the lass hasnât shown herself ever since everyone arrived at the city and came to the newly constructed palace here.
âThisâ¦â The old goat had the answer to the question. Shaky in his tone: âShe already left.â
âLeft?â Bai Yanâs heart sunk as a look of unease filled the poor ladyâs eye, âYou said Dragony left, where? She shouldnât have anyone familiar in this place.â
