âCan you take her with us? I donât want to see you sad Mother.â Bai Xiachen grasped onto his motherâs hand, showing how concerned he was of her wellbeing by saying that.
âIâm afraid thatâs not possible,â Bai Yan says, her face showing disappointment over her own words. âBut before I leave, I will make sure to arrange everything. She will be worry free for rest of her life.â
Thatâs all she could do for her foster sister if they arenât able to take Bai Yi Yi along. Breaking through the world barrier was no easy task, and itâs like Bai Yan knows a sure fire way to do just that either.
âDear!â Itâs then Bai Ran calls out after locating her husbandâs presence, thus bring the pairâs whispering conversation to an end.
Ling Yun wasted no time in walking over at the beckoning. His eyes were all smiles after seeing who has arrived.
âThis girl should be Bai Yan, right?â You donât look like your mother very much so I didnât recognize you for a second.â Guffawing a laugh, the man attempts to break the ice by trying to be funny.
Giving her husband a jab in the side, Bai Ran shoots a look as any wife would do in these embarrassing cases: âHow could anyone be exactly the same even if theyâre parent and daughter? Yan Yan is not like my sister, but itâs fine as long as sheâs not like that Wen Shan.â
Clearly, Bai Ranâs opinion of that coward has fallen to the level where she wants to vomit even at the mention.
âIâm only just kidding, donât mind me.â Ling Yun laughs again like a silly elder, âI remember the last time we met you were only up to my waist, to think youâve already got a son of your own in a blink of an eye.â
Smiling in return to as thanks for the warm reception, âUncle, everyone will eventually grow up.â
At that, the host of this party only smiled and said no more. This girl sure changed a lot. As a kid, she was so clever and smart, a total troublemaker, and now... sheâs very calm and mature. That event likely changed her personality.
âHello Granduncle,â Bai Xiachen finally chimes in with his happy go lucky self, âI am so envious of Granduncle, you were able to see Motherâs younger self.â
Ling Yun actually didnât know why the boy would say that and asked for a follow up, âWhy is that?â
âBecause... back then Mother still hasnât experienced that tragedy yet. I never seen Mother like that. In my view, Mother has always been courageous and strong, never needing anyone to help. I sometimes wish me and Father can be that reliable, that way Mother will rely on us sometimes.â
Bai Yanâs heart inwardly trembled in regards to that comment. Tightly hugging her son, she felt so happy to have this sensible child as her boy to the point itâs making her feel guilty.
Ling Yunâs face grew even more surprised: âBefore Ling Lang mentioned you are not like a normal child, now I can see why he said that. Xiachen, youâre much more mature for your age by thinking that way.â
Bai Xiachen giggled delightfully at that: âMother suffered too much, if Iâm not more sensible then it will only cause my mother more worry.â
Ling Yunâs been left astounded at this point. Heâs very envious of Bai Yan having such a filial son while he himself had such a heartache of a flirt.
âIs Yan Yan here?â An old voice eventually came from the rear, causing Bai Yan to turn around and see that old figure slowly strolling down from the second-floor staircase.
âDad, itâs Yan Yan.â
âHaha, itâs great that Yan Yan is here. I havenât seen this child in more than a decade.â
