Don’t kid around!
If not for her then would Father let us return to the family? It’s only normal that I help when its required.
Caressing her chin, Bai Yan apparently didn’t mind the help: “Alright, I will remember your promise then. But before you get me the Dragon Fruit, you must go to dragon clan’s home first.”
“Drag…. Dragon?”
“That’s right, and it must the fire dragons’ home. To produce a hundred of said fruits then we will need the blood of a hundred dragon, and it has to be fire dragons as well.”
Feeling a burst of sweat coming out of his forehead, Wang Deqiu could already feel his face burning from shame: “I-I was only kidding around, please don’t take me seriously Miss Bai Yan. As for the Dragon Fruit over at Fairy City, I will definitely help you in every way possible to get it.”
One hundred fire dragon? Where the heck am I supposed to find that many when I couldn’t even find one in this world?
Moreover, even if I do find one, that dragon would kill me with a single breath.
“This umm……” Not wanting to dwell on the subject less he digs the hole any deeper, Wang Deqiu hurriedly shifts the topic away: “Miss Bai Yan, when would you like to leave with us?”
Pondering for a good moment, “I guess tomorrow will do.”
“Okay, I will postpone our departure until tomorrow. My father’s birthday is a month away anyways, we got plenty of time to get there even if the distance from here requires half a month of travel.”
After getting the agreement from the man, Bai Yan figured there’s nothing more to be said so she was just ready to leave when something caught her attention. It was a girl and she was staring at her son.
“Son,” lowering her gaze to the boy, Bai Yan’s mouth inexplicably curled into a brilliant smile. “That little girl is looking at you.”
Looking over to the indicated direction, Bai Xiachen immediately recognized who it was.
“Wang Xiaotong,” going bright in his eyes, the baby boy happily waves at the girl, “I’ll see you tomorrow okay.”
Now that did it. Acting as if having the arrow of love striking her heart, Wang Xiaotong (sister) slightly nods her head before completely hiding herself away like a shy little cutie.
“Son, is this the girl who wanted to be your wife from before?” Growing deeper in her smile, Bai Yan suddenly went all matchmaker at this moment, “I think she’s quite cute. Why don’t you…”
“Mother, don’t you want me anymore?” Tightening his grip around her mother’s hand, the little steambun looked all aggrieved in his eyes like she just did the most deplorable thing a mother could do. “I do like Xiaotong, but that’s only because I want a little sister. I don’t want to marry, I only want to stay by Mother’s side.”
Baddie Father said it before. If I get marry then he will send me away. No way, absolutely no way am I going to let Baddie Father get his wish.
Faintly chuckling at her son’s antic, Bai Yan readily pinches the little guy on the nose as a little tease: “You are still young so I won’t meddle in your affairs. But if in the future you do find a girl then must remember to bring her home, understand?”
A man must have commitment and be reliable. No way was she going to let her son in this lifetime become like that “father” from the previous life.
That man obviously loved Mother, but in the end he only watched from the sidelines during the crisis. What for the family’s sake, he was nothing but a coward!
“Mother,” hugging his mother’s leg, Bai Xiachen snuggles his head against that thigh like he’s holding the most precious thing in this world. “I will be a good child and not get marry. I will be Mother’s most precious son and a good boy.”
