C113 (1/2)
Ling Chaofeng didn't say anything, but seemed to have realized that the couple's hearts were at ease.
Even she understood that if she kept such a child by her side, would she want him to live in shame for the rest of his life? Would she want him to hide forever?
How was she going to face her future life? Was she going to be able to give birth to children for her husband in the future? She didn't know if this child would hate them for turning him into a freak when he grew up.
But Xiaowan felt that her son wasn't a freak, he was a dragon, he could be a god, he could be …
”This is our child, of course we have to raise him.” Ling Chaofeng started to speak, he then said calmly, ”But for the child's sake, and also for our own sake, Xiaowan, let me think, how about we think of an absolutely safe method?”
”Hm.” The Xiaowan nodded, but still unconsciously stood in front of the cradle, as if she was afraid that her husband would carry the child away.
For the sake of her child, she was willing to bring him to live in seclusion in the mountains, never to see the world again. But what about her husband?
She could not abandon the person who loved her the most in the world, and she did not have the qualifications to force her husband to ”disappear” from the world along with them.
”Lie down and rest.” Ling Chaofeng stepped forward to support his. He understood the Xiaowan's heart too well, so he said, ”I placed the child by your side. I won't take him with me tonight. As I said before, I must discuss everything with you. ”
”Husband, I'm sorry …”
”You're right about everything. Why are you apologizing?” Ling Chaofeng hugged her, kissed her cheeks, kissed her lips, and pacified her fearful and uneasy heart, ”With me here, what am I afraid of?”
”Hubby …” Xiaowan cried, she did not know what to say, she was just feeling guilty, after all, this child was born from her womb. If she had given birth to a normal child, at that moment in time, how happy would they be?
”Don't cry.” Ling Chaofeng supported Xiaowan onto the bed, and then carried the child in her embrace, and said, ”Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang, I'm afraid they are still in a state of shock, but Jade Ring's matter is too mystical, the more people who know about it the more troublesome it becomes, can I not tell them about this?”
”I'll listen to my husband.” Xiaowan replied.
Ling Chaofeng comforted her a little more and then went downstairs.
Below, Uncle Biao had already sent Master Mu away and returned to sit at the entrance to smoke. Aunt Zhang sat blankly by the table, the soup on the table had long since turned cold.
The two looked at Ling Chaofeng who was walking down the stairs, and slowly walked towards him. Ling Chaofeng said: ”Xiaowan's mood is still a little agitated, she's afraid that I'll abandon this child. Other than that, she seems to have accepted the fact that this child is not a mortal. ”
Aunt Zhang held onto her heart, and fearfully asked: ”If she isn't a mortal, then what is … I remember the Xiaowan telling me that she once dreamed of a big Golden Dragon, and last night she also … ”
Ling Chaofeng nodded, he also remembered this. It could be seen that from that time onwards, and even from the night they got married, everything was destined to happen.
”The child will stay for the time being. As for the matter of the horns, do your best not to let anyone else find out.” Susu and the others will know that Xiaowan is pregnant soon, and they will want to see the child. ” Ling Chaofeng said, ”The fewer people who know about this, the better.”
Both Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang agreed. Ling Chaofeng then said, ”I need to go and make some arrangements. We will leave this place once Xiaowan has fully recovered. ”Uncle, Aunt, it would be for the best if you are willing to follow us. If you don't want to leave this place, or if you have somewhere else to go, I will definitely arrange something for you.”
Aunt Zhang and Uncle Biao looked at each other and said at the same time, ”Let's go with you.”
Ling Chaofeng cupped his fists in a salute, he was going to investigate the flames last night. Although they had decided to leave, it did not matter who the enemy was, but what if the one who set the fire was not too far away?
The most incomprehensible thing was naturally, Ling Xiao Inn being able to ”reincarnate” within a great fire. It was obvious that the entire building was almost engulfed in flames, yet it was actually completely unharmed after a storm of torrential rain.
Now, Ling Chaofeng understood why the inn could stand firmly in the water without moving an inch when Baisha River flooded the dike. Under the water was the Xiaowan's wish and the reason why the barrier protecting the inn was set up was because of that child.
Could it be that these commoners were going to raise a child for the heavens?
When the Xiaowan heard the sound of horse hooves, she knew that her husband had gone out. Not long later, the Aunt Zhang delivered the hot soup.
She walked closer to the bed with a complicated expression on her face. She looked at the child beside Xiaowan.
Xiaowan's body did not show any signs of having given birth, as though she had never been pregnant. She even lost weight overnight.
She didn't give birth to the baby normally. All she could say was that the child was in her womb and had found a place to wear it. When the time came, he would run out by himself.
However, the Xiaowan had milk. This was the only proof that she was pregnant in October, the only proof that she was a mother now.
”What a beautiful doll.” The Aunt Zhang gently carried the infant up, and the swaddled shape covered his horn. He looked no different from a child from another family.
This smile really melted Aunt Zhang's heart. She tearfully said to Xiaowan: ”Evening, look, this kid is smiling.”
