What happened to this child? Hadn’t he disliked her and said that she was detestable the other time around? He had even accused her of being fierce! But, why did he look so shy as though he liked her this time? For him to even show concern… was it because she was sick?
“Thank you!” Qian Xun laid down on the chaise longue lazily and picked up a remote control, switching channels while Xiao Bai stole peeks at her.
In reality, he was a really beautiful child. Pristine features and clearly defined teeth, he was like a perfectly crafted porcelain doll. At the same time, he had a masculine aura around him that told others of his gender.
It was easy for her to take a fancy to a child with such looks and intelligence.
But, the thought of Lu Yanzhi… gave her an indescribable feeling in her heart.
“Can I eat that?” Xiao Bai pointed to some chocolate on the coffee table.
Qian Xun reached out and unwrapped the chocolate that she received from her fans and passed a piece over to Xiao Bai.
“Thank you!” Unwrapping, Xiao Bai ate it down happily while licking his lips. “Nice! Can I have another?”
Glancing at him, Qian Xun passed him the entire box. “Don’t eat too many in one go. You can finish the rest at home.”
“Ok!” Xiao Bai kept the chocolates after eating another piece. He then stole another glance at Qian Xun. Once again, he was affirmed that this Superstar Auntie did not like him all that much.
If she did, she would have taken the initiative to talk to him. Yet, she was aloof, and clearly had no intention of doing so.
When his father mentioned how she was either his mummy or nothing else, and there was no room for a godmother, he had thought that perhaps she was his biological mother.
Otherwise, why would his father say that?
But perhaps, he had thought wrongly—she might not be his mummy.
He laid down on the sofa limply. It was extremely boring for him with no toys, Little Goody or anyone to chat with him. Thus, he fell asleep before long.
Worried that he might catch a cold, Qian Xun carried him and was prepared to send him to the bedroom when Shi Guang walked in. “Xiao Bai fell asleep?”
“Yeah.”
“Can you carry him to the bedroom then? We can have the porridge after you’re back.”
After Qian Xun laid Xiao Bai on the bed and tucked him into the blanket, she got up and wanted to leave. But, staring at Xiao Bai’s sleeping face, she found herself caught in a daze.
He truly resembled Lu Yanzhi after closing his eyes.
Those long lashes…
That sharp nose…
That handsome demeanor that concealed any bit of feminine feel of his pristine features…
This was Lu Yanzhi’s son!
The child that she had once hated so much that she nearly wanted to kill him… The first time she caught sight of him, she truly liked him, thinking to herself how there could be such a handsome and cute boy in this world.
But… why must he be Lu Yanzhi’s son?
She closed her eyes, memories gushing into her mind of that fateful day. It was so painful that she had nearly lost all her senses.
Finally, she had given birth to her own baby after much difficulty. But, before she could even savor the moment of being someone’s mother, everything had ended.
Childbirth was painful… Yet, the pain that he gave her was even more painful than childbirth.
It was akin to using a knife and slicing out at her heart layer by layer. While there was no blood, it was so painful that she could suffocate.
Qian Xun’s emotions and mind were in a wreck right now as she watched Xiao Bai’s sleeping body. Swinging her head away, she heaved out heavily.
Forget it. Children should not be implicated in the hatred and grudges of the adults.
She laughed out bitterly.
Besides, what was so bad about how things were right now?
