Chapter 223: Ask Clearly
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Jing Feng was slightly taken aback, swiftly leaping into the air.
“Hey, the man with the surname Feng, you haven’t told me where that child is!” Gu Qingluan shouted as she pursued, her eyes fixed on a fragment of the cloud-patterned sea-blue robe that vanished at the point where the rooftop met the sky.
Scumbag!
She had told him everything, yet he revealed nothing.
Gu Qingluan cursed in anger.
Amid her frustration, an uncontrollable sense of joy surged in her heart.
The child…
Her child was still alive!
There couldn��t be better news than this!
Sparkling specks of excitement flickered in Gu Qingluan’s eyes, her lips unconsciously curling upward.
“Mistress, why are you so happy? Did something happen?”
Bo He walked into Shallow Clouds Residence, carrying Gu Xiaonan.
“Nothing.” She didn’t want to reveal too much before finding the child, “What’s wrong with Xiaonan?”
Bo He sighed. “He fell asleep after drinking too much.”
“A little fellow who loves alcohol!” Gu Qingluan chuckled, “Well, it’s because he’s mine, isn’t it?”
Bo He grinned. “Can’t deny that, considering he’s the mistress’ offspring.”
Gu Qingluan gave her nose a slight guilty rub and composed herself, saying, “Don’t attribute it to me; I’m not drunk!”
Afraid that Bo He might say something irrefutable, she extended her hands, “Give Xiaonan to me.”
Bo He handed Gu Xiaonan over, and as Gu Qingluan carried her son inside, she instructed Bo He to keep an eye on the guards drinking in the garden. If anything came up, she gave Bo He the authority to handle them.
Having received the orders, Bo He left.
Placing her son on the bed, Gu Qingluan washed his face and feet, removed his outer robe, and covered him with a blanket.
Gazing at her son’s small face, she couldn’t help but daydream.
What would the other child look like? She didn’t know if it was a boy or a girl. If it was a boy, maybe he would look similar to Xiaonan. If it was a girl, she would surely be beautiful and adorable.
The more she thought about it, the more restless she became. Glancing at her son, who was lost in his drunken slumber, she decided to find that man and ask for clear answers.
Once again, Feng Yuanxi was tossed onto the bed in the room.
He immediately jumped up, pouting, “Royal Father, did you bully Beautiful Sister again?”
Feng Tianlan stared at his little face, his gaze complex.
He had thought Yuanxi was abandoned by his mother, but the truth turned out to be so different…
She wasn’t in the wrong; she was the victim.
Instead, it was he who mistook a villain for a benefactor and committed countless mistakes.
The woman asserted that Gu Lingxue had forcefully sliced open her abdomen and taken her unborn child. The suffering she must have endured!
He didn’t know how to face her now.
His misunderstandings, mockery, violence towards her… he had even come close to killing her several times.
For the first time, Feng Tianlan fled in guilt.
However, his mind was filled with thoughts of her.
The resentment she held for having her abdomen sliced open, the pain in her eyes when she lost her child…
It was like a dagger repeatedly stabbing into his heart.
Regret, self-blame, pity, and an indescribable tremor overwhelmed him.
“Father, what have you done to Beautiful Sister?” Seeing his silence, Feng Yuanxi was getting desperate, “If you don’t tell me, I’ll go find her myself.”
He was about to jump off the bed and run.
Feng Tianlan grabbed him, lifting him in front of him. He squatted down, his deep, night-like eyes containing mysterious undercurrents. “Xiao Xi, do you really like her?”
“Absolutely!” Feng Yuanxi admitted without hesitation. Liking Beautiful Sister wasn’t something to be ashamed of; he wanted the whole world to know.
Indeed, the blood connection between mother and son was evident.
No wonder Yuanxi had taken a liking to her from the very first encounter, even daring to defy him.
So it turned out that his son had found his birth mother long ago.
And it seemed that Gu Qingluan also held a deep yearning for Yuanxi.
Since that was the case…
Feng Tianlan made a decision..
