Aching in the heart over this picture, Bai Yan hurries to bring her son into a comforting hug: âMother here will promise you: once I find your uncle I will immediately come back to wait for you, okay?â
âReally?â the little steambunâs eye lit up with expectations.
âOf course! If you donât believe me then we can pinky swear on it.â
âMother, Iâm not a three-year-old child anymore, such tricks are only meant to deceive little babies.â
Now thatâs just embarrassing for this doting mother. Itâs like the boy says, heâs no longer three, heâs coming up to seven this year.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHoweverâ¦â Bai Xiachenâs face breaks out into a lovely and innocent smile, âI will believe anything Mother says. Once you find Uncle then you must come to the Demon Realm and wait for me. I donât want the first person I see to be Baddie Father when I come out of the secret domain.â
Now thatâs just wrong. Di Cangâs beautiful instantly goes dark at that comment.?This brat, does he detest me that much? Iâm his old man and deserves respect!
But instead of breaking out into a chuckle like she normally would over the sly words of her boy, Bai Yan instead hugs the boy even tighter until Bai Xiachen was almost unable to breath. Fortunately this filial and sensible child knew what the gesture meant and allowed it to continue despite the discomfort. Neither of them felt happy about the separation and this was their of communicating their emotions.
âSon,â it was Bai Yan who eventually broke the silence by loosening the hug, âremember to be careful while training inside the secret domain. Safety comes first no matter what, understand?â
âI know,â in order to emphasize his point, the boy makes a sweet little peck on the womanâs face before breaking out into a huge giggling laugh. âI will definitely be well and safe, because⦠only by being safe and well can I protect Mother from harm.â
Her heart ached at this. The boyâs ability to please her and say sensible things are just too good. No matter how she tries to tell herself this was for the best inwardly, Bai Yan knows, sheâs going to miss him desperately during this period. In the end, itâs her own powerlessness thatâs the causeâ¦.
Clenching her fist, a stubborn and firm aura exudes out of that face.?Whether it be the Celestial Realm or Spirit Realm, I will not let any of you off for this!
Suddenly, from out of the blue before she could react, Di Cangâs hand had swung her around and pressed his lips firmly down on hers. Itâs somewhat cold and shocking to the mouth, but that quickly changed into a comforting battle of the tongue.
Releasing his prey, âYan Yan, donât miss me too much, Iâll come to you soon.â
Initially Bai Yan was still a tad flustered from the forceful kiss on herself, but the remark instantly destroyed any lovely mood she felt from the act. Dark in the face, sheâs got to hand it to this man and his delusions.?When did I say I was going to miss himâ¦.?
Oblivious to his own lack of status in this family, Di Cang gives one final yearning look to his wife before turning away for the outside with the boy in toe. It wasnât just the husband here who didnât want to leave either, the kid as well while being led away. Bai Xaichen would turn around to look backwards after every three steps like heâs going to run back at any moment.
This saddening departure continued until their figures were completely out of sight and the interjection of a familiar childish voice. âQueen, where is His Majesty and Highness going?â
Swinging her head around, Bai Yan could see it was Dragony, the very girl she intended to find after she calms her aching heart. However, it appears that objective was no longer necessary.
âThey have other things to do. Dragony, during this period it will be just you and I, okay?â
âOkay~!â the dollish young lass answers loudly without hesitation. Giving a tug at the sleeve, âQueen, His Majesty is so terrifying. When he is around, I would always be too scared to approach youâ¦â
Bai Yan couldnât help but prick her brow at this sudden comment,?Is Di Cang really that scary? How come I never found it so? Like when they first met. At most he would only act all threatening and tough in front of my presence, never did he do anything truly harmfulâ¦.
