Leng Yi Xuan and Xinâer decided to return home and rest. They will continue their play the next day. But by the time they got back, Leng Yi Xuanâs family was waiting for them.
When Leng Jun Yu and Le Yao Yao saw that their son was well, they couldnât help but feel relieved. However, they were stunned by his appearance. Xuanâer was covered in mud and his hair was a mess. Furthermore, his teeth were all black and he looked like a child from the wild.
Leng Yi Xuan had no idea his appearance shocked his parents. The moment he saw Le Yao Yao, he hopped into her arms and cuddled with her. âMommy! Youâre finally here! Xuanâer misses you!â
âXuanâer. My Xuanâerâ¦.mommy finally found you! Iâm glad youâre alright.â sobbed Le Yao Yao. She was half laughing, half crying.
Leng Yi Xuan knew his mother must have been worried sick. So, he immediately reached his hand to wipe the tears from his motherâs face.
However, his hands were covered in mud. So now, Le Yao Yaoâs face was a mess. Leng Yi Xuan felt bad but Le Yao Yao didnât mind.
She didnât care about anything else as long as her son was fine.
Leng Jun Yu couldnât help but take out his handkerchief and lightly wiped his wifeâs face. He soothed, âItâs okay. Yao Yao, our son is fine. Donât cry.â
Her tears always had a way of breaking his heart!
So, Le Yao Yao nodded and stood up. She was still holding onto her childâs hand. It was as if she was afraid he would disappear again.
At this moment, Leng Yi Xuan suddenly released his mommyâs hand and ran to Xinâer. He seized her hand and brought Xinâer to Le Yao Yao.
âMommy! This is Xinâer. Xinâer knows a lot of stuff! Today, we went frog hunting and ate some roasted frogs!! We also found bird eggs. We had so much fun together!â
Leng Yi Xuan was showing Xinâer off like she was a treasure. He was incredibly proud of her. He told the adults all the adventures and exploration they did.
This was the first time Le Yao Yao had ever seen her son so excited. After all, Leng Yi Xuan wasnât a normal child. Due to his status, he was constantly surrounded by older maidservants or servants. Even if he had children to play with, there were always a lot of limitations.
Le Yao Yao turned to Xinâer. The little girl looked approximately 3-4 years of age. She was dressed in simple clothing, but her face was adorable. Based on her five delicate facial features, sheâll definitely be a beauty when she grows up!
Xinâer wasnât used to facing so many adults. She was a bit overwhelmed but still managed to lower her head and politely greet Le Yao Yao. âHello, Auntie. My name is Xinâer.â
Xinâerâs voice sounded as sweet as marshmallows. Le Yao Yao loved it! She had a good first impression of Xinâer and was glad that Xuanâer found a playmate.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
After conversing with Xinâer for a bit, Li Shi stepped forward. She held onto her daughterâs hand and got down on her knees. After all, the people in front of them were from the Royal Family!!
Le Yao Yao instantly pulled her up. If it werenât for Li Shi, they wouldnât have been able to find Xuanâer!
Earlier, Li Shi headed downtown and found that the streets were filled with Imperial guards. When she saw the posters the guards had in their hands, she recognized the little boy right away!
The little boy turned out to be the son of the almighty Prince Rui! Prince Ruiâs martial arts, intellectual abilities, handsome looks were famous across the country. The common people all thought he died years ago. But who wouldâve thought that he would come back alive five years later! After he returned, he married Princess Lulu!
Now, these important figures were standing right in front of her. This was unfathomable to common people like Li Shi. She was so emotional that she could barely speak.
When Li Shi felt Le Yao Yaoâs hands, she thought they were soft like the highest quality of silk. As a woman, she couldnât help but feel a tingling sensation. If she, as a woman, experienced thisâ¦.what would men feel?
They were both women, yet they were worlds apart.
So, Li Shi instantly retracted her hands. She didnât think she was worthy of touching a goddess-like person.
Le Yao Yao knew Li Shi was being overly cautious. She tried to loosen the mood by smiling kindly. âThank you for taking care of Xuanâer, little sister. Yao Yao canât thank you enough.â
Although Le Yao Yao was part of the Royal Family, she never acted like she was better than anyone else. She didnât look down on anyone. Back when she was in the 21st century, she was taught that all people should be treated equally.
This was the first time Li Shi felt so respected. After chatting with Le Yao Yao, Le Yao Yao found out the dire situation of her family. Li Shiâs husband was a businessman. However, his business failed and now he was under a lot of debt. Li Shi had no choice but to leave her daughter alone while she took on odd jobs to help her husband with the financial load.
Fortunately, her daughter was understanding and able to take care of herself. Hearing this, Le Yao Yao ordered her servant to hand a thousand silver taels in banknote to Li Shi.
Li Shi was stunned and refused right away. Although they were poor, they had a backbone. They wouldnât just take money from other people.
Le Yao Yao could read Li Shiâs mind and stated, âThis isnât for you. This is for Xinâer. I am very fond of your daughter. Xuanâer doesnât have many friends. However, your daughter gets along very well with him. I want Xinâer to grow up happily. This money is for your husband to pay off his debts. With the rest, you can start another business. That way, you donât always have to leave your daughter home alone. She is so young. I would be quite worried leaving my child at home at this ageâ¦â
So, ultimately, Li Shi accepted Le Yao Yaoâs generous gesture and Le Yao Yao took her son home.
Honestly, Leng Yi Xuan didnât want to leave. He had never experienced so much fun in his life. But he knew he had to go or else his mother would worry. So, he obediently got onto the horse carriage.
Before he left, Leng Yi Xuan said goodbye to Xinâer and promised to come play with her again the next day. After Xinâer agreed, Xuanâer reluctantly parted with her.
Le Yao Yao had never seen her son act like this before. He kept looking back until he could no longer see Xinâer.
Poor child. He really needs more friends.
Leng Yi Xuan leaned against his mommy and acted cute again. But suddenly, he crinkled his brows and looked stressed.
Le Yao Yao was worried. âXuanâer, whatâs wrong?â
âMommy! I have a weird object growing on my body that other people donât have. Am I going to die?â cried Leng Yi Xuan.
âWhat?? What weird object?!â Le Yao Yao exclaimed. She was appalled.
