Chapter 747 Don’t Mess with the Father-in-law 5 ” (2/2)
“Yes, milady.” Giving a respectful bow of her head, the maid promptly left for the outside.
“Mother.” Alone now, Bai Xiachen didn’t waste any time to climb atop of those seated legs to take his rightful place among the most precious woman in his life. “I want to sleep with Mother today,” that smile carrying only joy and a naive innocence found among the young.
Winding his arms around that chest, the kid throws his entire head into those bountiful mounds and snuggled into them without a care for the world. Mother is the best, so warm and soft, I never want to leave Mother’s side ever again….
“Son, I’m afraid we’ll have to stay for a while longer in order to find Dragony. Only then can we leave.” Caressing her boy’s head who’s still firmly tugged against her own, she calmly explains her plan.
Giving a clever nod: “I will listen to Mother, but are we really going to ignore Baddie Father while we’re here?”
She went stiff at that last bit. Not answering right away, she pulls him up to face level to meet her son’s eye: “Aren’t you angry that he took advantage of you?”
The kid shakes his head: “No, I’m not anymore, though I’m still sad at being used. Baddie Father loves Mother so I can ignore his faults, and…” Lowering his head like he’s deciding how to properly explain: “Baddie Father is injured because of me.”
Twitching so slightly, Bai Yan’s face definitely got a little white there: “What happened? How could he have gotten hurt? Who has the power to harm your father?”
“No, it’s that someone injured Baddie Father, rather he injured himself because he was helping me. He said that mysterious force inside my body was trying to take over so he used his powers to forcibly stop it. As a consequence, he’s now heavily injured.”
Showing a teary face, Bai Xiachen tugs at his mother’s sleeve like he’s pleading for his old man. “I hated Baddie Father before, mainly because he bullied you and kept leaving me behind. But… after seeing how far he’s willing to go for Mother, I can tolerate the other bad things he’s done. Can you forgive me as well?”
Almost laughing at her son’s demeanor, Bai Yan places him down to her own lap and flickered a finger at that temple: “You shouldn’t worry about the matters between me and your father, you have your own troubles to worry about, don’t you?”
