So it turns out Xiachen is my child in the past too?
But I failed to protect him, causing him to miss out on his chance to see the world.
â¦â¦
âYan Yan~â
A familiar ring beckons beside her ear, causing the scene in front of Bai Yan to fluctuate and distort until its completely dissolved into the darkness.
Slowly opening those eyes after coming back to reality, a trickle of tear now flows down the side of that cheek.
âDi Cangâ¦â Suddenly throwing herself into the manâs arm after saying that, she tightly clutches onto the one in front like the physical contact was the only way to keep her unsettled heart from losing itself.
âIf you donât want to then I wonât force youâ¦â Stroking her silky black hair, the man dons a comforting smile in response: âIn any case, you are mine sooner or later, Iâm in no hurry.â
Bai Yan didnât answer or respond because she only wants to keep hugging this man who gave his all for her, even if its only for a while longerâ¦.
The pain from the vision still lingers, causing excruciating pain inside.
âDi Cang, I want to see Xiachen, can we go back?â Raising her face up to meet his, two droplets of tears teeters along the lash to make that plea all the more effective.
âOkay.â Pulling her into a tighter embrace, he too appeared distressed at the moment.
Heâs seen many sides of this woman in his arms, but never a weak front like right now, making it all the more disturbing for him.
â¦â¦
When Bai Yan and Di Cang returned to the Demon Mountain, the painful screams of Jun Ruqing were long gone from the air. Instead, the fox womanâs soul now curls into a fetal position inside the burning flame, her eyes the only thing showing the hatred she held for the ones responsible for the pain sheâs experiencing.
Of course, Bai Yanâs aware of the venomous gaze coming her way as they flew by in the air, but thatâs of no concern to her now. She couldnât afford to wait any longer and only wanted so dearly to see that familiar steambun in her arms again.
At the moment, outside the hut where the boy should be, Bai Xiachen and Little Rice was currently chasing each other around in playful glee when the boy was suddenly picked up from behind.
Likely able to sense the familiar scent, he immediately looked up to find Bai Yanâs pale face that shocked him. âMother, whatâs wrong? Is it Baddie Father bullying you again?â
That only warranted a tighter hug.
âMother?â The boy continues to blink that big blue eye in confusion.
What happened to Mother? Why do I have a feeling that itâs the same as when she contracted Little Rice, like Iâve missed something important.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSon, Iâm sorry, Iâm so sorryâ¦â Rubbing her own cheek against the boyâs, she sounded painfully apologetic with that whimpering.
I couldnât protect you before and deprived you of a future, but I wonât let that happen again, I wonât let anyone hurt you again! Thank you for coming back into my life again!
âMother, I canât breathe~â Flushing red from having his poor lung squished, the baby cries out in protest.
âOh Iâm sorryâ¦â Hurrying to loosen her own grip, âI got too emotional thereâ¦â
âMother, can you tell me what happened? I can help carry some of your weight if you do.â Flashing bright in those innocent eyes of his, Bai Xiachen attempts to act like the little man that he was.
