Chapter 1568 “General Ling Kaiyuan’s Birthday (7)”
“Can you take her with us? I don’t want to see you sad Mother.” Bai Xiachen grasped onto his mother’s hand, showing how concerned he was of her wellbeing by saying that.
“I’m afraid that’s not possible,” Bai Yan says, her face showing disappointment over her own words. “But before I leave, I will make sure to arrange everything. She will be worry free for rest of her life.”
That’s all she could do for her foster sister if they aren’t able to take Bai Yi Yi along. Breaking through the world barrier was no easy task, and it’s like Bai Yan knows a sure fire way to do just that either.
“Dear!” It’s then Bai Ran calls out after locating her husband’s presence, thus bring the pair’s 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.
“This girl should be Bai Yan, right?” You don’t look like your mother very much so I didn’t recognize you for a second.” 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: “How could anyone be exactly the same even if they’re parent and daughter? Yan Yan is not like my sister, but it’s fine as long as she’s not like that Wen Shan.”
Clearly, Bai Ran’s opinion of that coward has fallen to the level where she wants to vomit even at the mention.
“I’m only just kidding, don’t mind me.” Ling Yun laughs again like a silly elder, “I remember the last time we met you were only up to my waist, to think you’ve already got a son of your own in a blink of an eye.”
Smiling in return to as thanks for the warm reception, “Uncle, everyone will eventually grow up.”
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… she’s very calm and mature. That event likely changed her personality.“Hello Granduncle,” Bai Xiachen finally chimes in with his happy go lucky self, “I am so envious of Granduncle, you were able to see Mother’s younger self.”
Ling Yun actually didn’t know why the boy would say that and asked for a follow up, “Why is that?”
“Because… back then Mother still hasn’t 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.”
Bai Yan’s 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 it’s making her feel guilty.
Ling Yun’s face grew even more surprised: “Before Ling Lang mentioned you are not like a normal child, now I can see why he said that. Xiachen, you’re much more mature for your age by thinking that way.”
Bai Xiachen giggled delightfully at that: “Mother suffered too much, if I’m not more sensible then it will only cause my mother more worry.”
Ling Yun’s been left astounded at this point. He’s very envious of Bai Yan having such a filial son while he himself had such a heartache of a flirt.
“Is Yan Yan here?” 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.
“Dad, it’s Yan Yan.”
“Haha, it’s great that Yan Yan is here. I haven’t seen this child in more than a decade.”
