Chapter 1189 “Mother and Daughter Reunion (4)”
One hand wounding tightly around the boy’s tiny body, the other around his head, Bai Yan heavily hugged her son to no end in order to make up for their separation. And as if to answer her calling, Dragony had also ran down from the stairs by then, her face just as excited as the boy but with two braids flinging up and down due to all her running.
“Dragony, I’m here now.”
At first the little missy was still standing in front of her own godmother in a dumb dazed state due to how suddenly she arrived at their place, but that instantly changed and evolved into a honey sweet smile as she pounced as well upon coming back to reality.
Now it was Bai Yan who was taken aback by how much these two kids were attaching themselves to her. Truly, she never expected they would miss her to such an extent.
Looks like I was wrong from the very start, making them wait at the Demon Realm wouldn’t have worked from the beginning considering Xiachen’s clingy personality. I should’ve expected this….
“Mother,” Bai Xiachen suddenly grabs onto the lady’s hand after the embrace, “I have something to tell you, I….”
But before the boy could divulge whatever’s on his mind, a soft gentle voice had come in from the second floor and catching the group’s attention
“Xiachen, did your mother come find you?”
Drawn by the signature of that voice, Bai Yan turns to look upwards and was rewarded with the familiar blue dress and face from not long ago. To say the person was a body double of herself wasn’t an understatement.
Likewise, Bai Ning also did the same in this case. Though she already knew Bai Xiachen’s mother was very similar to herself in appearance, but the level of likeness was uncanny even to her own eyes!
“You…” Bai Yan’s voice sounding shaken by the encounter, she splutters and ends up saying nothing due to the emotional waves running inside.
Whether it be in the previous life or this one, Bai Yan has never gotten a chance to experience the bond of having a mother, hence her strong bond to the little steambun. She needed to make up for the hollowness in the heart over the lack of motherly love. Now imagine the news of actually being able to mend that loss! There’s no way the lady wouldn’t be moved beyond words!
Showing a faint sorrowful smile, Bai Ning was the first to break the silence: “Lady, are you Xiachen’s mother? If you are then that’s good. I happened to pick him up along the road so I’m happy that his family is here.”
“I…” Bai Yan choked again when trying to speak, which only made it more apparent when the little steambun interrupts her.
“Pretty Granny, my mother and us were all driven out by my baddie father. We got nowhere else to stay so can you take us all in?”
Only then did the stunned looking Bai Yan recover from her initial excitement. Frowning at his little boy, “Xiachen?”
Does your father know that you’re framing him like this?
Naturally the boy knew exactly what his mother was indicating to with her questioning face but didn’t care. Showing teary eyes, the kid continues to stare at his grandmother for help.
Meanwhile on the other end, Bai Ning was lighting up at being begged to let them stay. To be clear, she was just as hesitant to see the group go so this arrangement was like a windfall, the perfect setup in her view if she could have it.
“If Lady wishes to stay then of course that’s fine. Your decision?”
A while later after staying quiet, Bai Yan finally got to express her opinion, “My name is Bai Yan, you can call me Yan’er. I’m somewhat unaccustomed to being called Lady so please call me by what my family and friends do.” Flashing a smile of hope, the woman didn’t bother to hide the level of yearning in her voice now.
