“Don’t worry, I’m happy now.” That said, Bai Yan turns to her own husband, their eyes only reflecting each other in them that showed the love they had for one another.
Bai Xiao could say he’s no longer doubting the story and quickly apologized after seeing how intimate they are: “I’m sorry Brother-in-law, I misunderstood you.”
Speaking of which, the young man always did hold a good impression of Di Cang, that’s why he would willingly leave Bai Yan in his care back then. Now that the misunderstanding was cleared up, he had no reason to continue holding a grudge.
“Uncle!” It’s then that Bai Xiachen cries out from the city gate, his hands carefully leading his two little siblings from each side.
Bai Xiao would of course be happy to see this nephew of his after so long, but he’s even more happy when his eyes landed on the two unexpected surprises. Without ado, he sprints over to give the boy a huge hug.
“Uncle, I miss you so much, do you also miss me?” The steambun asks, his face smiling right up to the eye.
Smiling as well but a look of surprise: “Of course I miss you, how can I not miss my favorite nephew? But then Xiachen, how come you don’t look a day older than when I last saw you?”
It was Bai Yan who answered the question with a slightly embarrassed face: “I can explain that Xiao’er. I left the city because of that reason. Unfortunately Xiachen has been asleep for the past year due to some condition he had to go through.”
Upon hearing this explanation, Bai Xiao finally understand everything and connected the dots. Not going to dwell on the matter since its in the past, he instead turns his attention to the two new kids in the family: “Xiachen, they are….”
“Uncle, this my little sister and little brother. She’s Di Ling Yan, and he’s Di Jin Tian, they’re twins and is one years old.”
A look of shock filled the young man’s face, It’s only been three years and Sister has already added two more, and twins at that?
“Uncle.” The peachy girl was the first to address her uncle, and it was honey to the air for the surprised individual.
Di Jin Tian on the other hand wasn’t so comfortable in this situation though. Unlike his twin sister, the little glutton had to take a look before biting his lip and calling out as well: “Uncle.”
If Ling Yan calls him Uncle then I should too, she can’t be wrong.
Without deviating from the expected scenario, Bai Xiao was absolutely delighted at the two new babies.
“Sister, I am relieved to know you and Brother-in-law is so happy together. Now that I have seen you and made sure you’re alright, I can rest at ease and leave to do other things.”
“What matter?” Bai Yan asks with surprise in the voice, “Do you need my help?”
Shaking his head at the offer: “No, Sister, I can solve this on my own, I can’t rely on others always protecting me.”
No matter how strong Bai Yan has become now, he’s still going to do the same as before and keep her under his wing for protection. That’s also the reason why he refused to join the Holy Land, he must become strong enough to keep up that feat.
There’s not much else the lady could say to that aside from nodding. “Xiao’er, I want you to remember that if there’s anything you can’t solve yourself, you must come find me. I will be staying in the city for a while….”
“I understand.” With a smile, Bai Xiao then looks up to the sky to access the time. Gradually, a sense of worry covered those eyes, “It’s getting late, I should go now.”
