Su Jiu let An Yuan hug her and softly said, “Mommy.”
“Thank the heavens I’ve found you!” An Yuan looked at her child with reddened eyes, unable to stop her tears. “Little Jiu, I’m so sorry. Mommy didn’t protect you well and let you get thrown into the orphanage. I’m sorry! It’s Mommy’s fault!”
“Mommy… it’s not your fault.” Su Jiu’s eyes ached as she buried her head in her mother’s embrace and breathed in her fragrant scent.
Is this what mothers smell like?
This was the first time in both her lives that she had felt a mother’s aura and warmth.
So this is what it feels like to have a mother!
How nice!
After leaving the testing center and getting into Su Shengjing’s car, An Yuan was still reluctant to put the little girl down. She held her tightly in her arms, afraid that Su Jiu would run away if she let go.
And she kept looking at the little girl as if she couldn’t get enough of her.
When she had started reading her messages in the morning today, An Yuan did not have much hope. She had never expected to find her child today. It was really amazing, like a dream.
If it were indeed a dream, An Yuan hoped that she would not wake up, that she would never wake up.
Su Shengjing looked at An Yuan through the rearview mirror and saw that she was still staring at Little Jiu in a daze. It was obvious that she had not recovered from the shock and excitement of finding her child. The corners of his lips curled up slightly.
“Do you find it very magical? It’s indeed magical. Back then, when I brought Little Jiu for a DNA test, the doctor said that we were biological father and daughter. I couldn’t believe it and didn’t want to accept it either. I even wanted to send her back to the orphanage.”
An Yuan reached out to touch the little girl’s face. As she felt the soft and tender touch that belonged to a child, she realized she couldn’t calm down no matter how much she thought about it.
This is my baby.
My biological child…
“Mommy, mommy, mommy…” The little girl hugged her neck and sweetly smiled at her, repeating the words like a broken record.
An Yuan did not feel irritated at all. On the contrary, she felt that this was the best name in the world.
“Su Shengjing, thank you!” An Yuan raised her eyes and seriously looked at Su Shengjing. Her eyes were still red. “If it weren’t for you, I might never have known the truth. I might not have been able to find Little Jiu.”
Su Shengjing almost choked when An Yuan thanked him so sincerely. “You’re welcome. Since I know you’re Little Jiu’s mother, I should tell you that you have the right to know.”
As he spoke, his ears felt a little warm. It was already good enough that An Yuan did not blame him for what he did to her a few years ago. She was even thanking him. He really felt guilty.
An Yuan noticed Su Shengjing’s red ears and also thought of that night a few years ago. Although she had no memory of it, her face started burning. “No matter what, I still have to thank you!”
“There’s really no need. On the contrary, I want to apologize to you. It was my fault that night. I shouldn’t have drunk so much. I was too young back then and was arrogant. I always thought that I was very powerful. I drank recklessly, and in the end, I got tricked and implicated you. I’m sorry!”
“It was not your fault. It was Xue Zhen’s. Actually… I really want to thank you for giving me such a cute daughter!” An Yuan’s gaze returned to the little girl’s face, her gaze unprecedentedly gentle.
She had always dreamed of having a daughter like Little Jiu. Now, her wish had actually come true.
In addition, she was secretly glad that the man from that night was Su Shengjing.. If it were any other man, she might not have been able to accept it.
