Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Rong Yan’s heart clenched into a knot as she kissed his small face and quickly raised her hand to pledge loyalty, “Never, I was just thinking about how to find you, I never thought of leaving you. Baby Duidui, haven’t I come?”
Li Duidui, held in her arms, smelled the pleasant and natural scent of her embrace, which lightened his sullen mood for the whole week, and his emotions gradually calmed down, “Mom, I want to go home.”
There’s a big house here, a grandma who loves him, and a dad, but he wanted to go home—he only wanted his family, Little Demon Rong. He didn’t want anyone else.
“When can I go home?” His large eyes were full of hope.
Rong Yan couldn’t bear to look into those eyes, she averted her gaze, holding back her heartache as she explained, “Duidui, you have a little heart problem. Mommy can help you adjust, but there’s no cure. Look, every time you have an attack, it hurts, and Mommy doesn’t want to see you in pain. Your dad’s place has a special medicine, even if it can’t cure you right away, at least it can control it so you don’t suffer so much when you have an attack. Can we wait a little longer? Once Mommy finds the medicine that can cure you, I’ll take you
away.”
By then, she would whisk Little Baby away and find a place far from the reach of the emperor, and only go back if Little Baby grew up and wanted to return…
It’s just Li Shengxiao…
Rong Yan felt a headache coming on.
Stealing from under Li Shengxiao’s watch, especially stealing the Li Family’s most precious ‘Baby,’ was as difficult as Chang’e flying to the moon. She would have to plan carefully when the time came.
Baby Rong’s beautiful big eyes noticed her distressed look. She had been a bit sulky, but now, no longer sulky, she stretched out her hand, hugged Rong Yan, and kissed her on the chin, returning to her cute demeanor, “…Mmm.”
Rong Yan hugged him, kneading and comforting him in various ways. She told him a fairy tale, sang for him, and finally managed to soothe the little guy, who was on the verge of crying, into tired slumber.
After making sure he was deeply asleep, she stood beside the bed for a long, long time, wishing she could imprint the person on the bed into her eyes and take him away. Then she moved lightly to put the lid on his cup and tucked in the edge of the blanket.
Li Shengxiao entered and witnessed this scene, the heartwarming image of mother and child warming his chest.
He approached the person so focused she hadn’t noticed his arrival and handed her something, breaking the beautiful scene with his voice, “See if these are the ones?”
Rong Yan, startled, turned around and saw him, patting her chest as she took the items from his hand, “Let me look.”
She checked everything. Nothing was missing, and they were all top quality.
“Yes, these are them.”
Li Shengxiao looked at the person sleeping on the bed and said, “He’s asleep, so why don’t we do it another day?”
Rong Yan pulled out a silver needle from a row without even looking up, “It’s okay, I’ve researched a set of acupuncture techniques that won’t hurt and are effective. I just checked him, and your son is very suited to this method. It’s a combination of palpitations and neurological issues; while my method can’t cure his disease, it should at least have some effect.
Of course, it would have an effect.
This was the ancient Chinese medicine acupuncture method she had learned from a master after discovering that Western medicine couldn’t cure her precious son’s illness.
She had always been using this acupuncture method to treat Baby.
But this method was slow to show effects, and it was only after she had personally witnessed Baby’s first attack that she felt so distressed and decided to send him back.
Otherwise, she would never have separated from Baby!
“I need quiet when I perform acupuncture. If Mr. Li doesn’t feel comfortable, you can watch by the side, but please don’t talk and disturb me,” she said, her serious, earnest face had a natural radiance, attracting even Li Shengxiao’s gaze involuntarily.
“I’ll wait for you here!”
