Chapter 591 - Their First Quarrel (1/2)
”Xiao Yi is my son; Bai Luoyin is your daughter. You love your daughter, but I love my son, too. You want Bai Luoyin to be happy, but I want my son to be the same, too. I'm sorry, but I can't promise you. I won't stop him with whoever he wants to marry. Yes, you did bring them up; but you have no right to interfere with their lives. If you say that the three of us owe you for whatever we have today, then so be it. I will never use my son's life and happiness to repay the debt that we owe you, Bai Zhenfeng, or your family.”
Wei Lan stood up and heaved a sigh of relief. Letting go of everything really made her feel more relaxed than ever. She did not look back at Bai Zhenfeng at all. She was his wife, not a slave. It was not because she had no thoughts of her own; she just had not stepped out of her own world yet.
However, this would not happen now as she wanted to be happy.
It was the first time, she rebuked Bai Zhenfeng. It was the first time, she had her own opinions. It was the first time that she left Bai Zhenfeng all alone and also the first time that she had caused Bai Zhenfeng's face to redden with anger.
Bai Zhenfeng, at this point in time, still could not believe what on earth had just happened.
…
At the table, there were only Gao Xin, Gao Yi, and Wei Lan at that time. As for Bai Zhenfeng and Bai Luoyin, they definitely would not starve themselves anyway. Besides, Gao Yi just returned home; and he did not want to lose his appetite. If he had to face the father and the daughter who he hated so much, it would be a miracle that he would be in a good mood. Furthermore, Xia Ruoxin and Rainy were here, too; and he did not want them to suffer.
”Mom, the food you make is awesome. I finally can eat good food now.” Gao Xin exclaimed as he raised his thumbs at her. ”Mom, did you know? The reason why your son will never be fat is that every day, I have to sit with them and eat… so whatever I eat is hard to digest.” He placed his hand on his stomach. This was true, as every time they ate, he would either have toothaches or gastric pain. How could he ever grow fat with this situation?
This was also Wei Lan's first time relating to her son. Actually, she felt likewise. Every time Bai Zhenfeng showed his boundless affection towards Bai Luoyin, it was a tight slap to her face.
”Where are Ruoxin and her kid?” Wei Lan asked as she had no intention of continuing the earlier conversation and wondered where the pair was.
”Rainy was asleep so they would come over in a bit. Oh, they're here already.” Gao Yi smiled as Xia Ruoxin held Rainy's hands and walked in. Rainy kept rubbing her eyes, and she looked as clumsy and lethargic as usual when she just woke up from her sleep. Even her legs were wobbling as she walked.
”Sorry, we made you wait,” said Xia Ruoxin embarrassingly.
”It's okay, I know,” Gao Yi said as he carried Rainy in his arms. Rainy hugged his neck, and it was evident that she still did not know where she was.
”Let's eat, Rainy! If not, you'll be skinny.” Gao Yi pinched Rainy's cheeks and looked at the envious look on Gao Xin's face. He pinched it as well before. It was very smooth and soft, and he wanted to just bite it.
”Daddy…” the sweet child voice of Rainy made Wei Lan smile. She had never smiled this relaxingly before. This child was really cute, and it made people like her a lot. Even though she might not be biological, but they still loved her. Moreover, she could tell that her son really loved this child—and of course, that woman.
”That's it, now you're really awake.” Gao Yi placed Rainy's feet back on the floor. The clear eyes of Rainy's surveyed the surroundings, and her gaze landed on Wei Lan's face last. She inched closer towards Xia Ruoxin, and her face revealed that she was a bit afraid. In an unfamiliar place and seeing unfamiliar people, it was no wonder the child would be a bit scared.
