“Husband, these Dan pills……” Bai Ran moves her mouth like she wanted to say something but couldn’t due to the content. She’s obvious worried about something.

  “It’s okay, you don’t need to say more. In a few days it will be Father’s birthday. Don’t forget to invite our niece to the party. As for the four smaller clans, don’t invite anyone from their end.”


  Bai Ran immediately showed a surprised look because this meant her husband intends to side with Bai Yan and disregard the four smaller clans. Make no mistake, this was no easy decision. After all, they’re all part of high society and openly snubbing that side meant their Ling household would be telling everyone they are not on good terms. Undoubtedly more enemies would take advantage of this fact later on and use this opening.

  “Okay, I’ll tell Yan Yan this, I’m sure she will be happy to attend if I ask.” Bai Ran sighs a breath of relief.

  This was exactly the trouble she had. On one hand she wanted to look out for the benefits of her own family, on the other she wants to protect Bai Yan and help the lass. Picking one meant damaging the other, regardless of her choice, someone’s going to get the shorter end of the stick. Now it’s all become a non-problem thanks to their boy’s sudden surprise entry into the equation……

  Hotel, Bai Xiachen was currently fast asleep while nesting himself in Bai Yan’s lap.

  Bai Yan thought, pleased to have her son around again.

  “Bad Little Rice,” as if in compliance to the comment from the lady, the little guy suddenly started to furrow his forehead in displeasure, “you’re stealing my snacks again, I won’t play with you anymore.”


  Bai Yan: “.……”


  But before the woman could go further in her own train of thoughts, a series of phone rings catches her ear. Bai Yan didn’t want to wake her son up so those hands moved fast. However, the number on the screen wasn’t one she recognizes. Sure, she did give the cell number to Ling Lang her cousin, but this new one didn’t match up with the flirt’s ID. Abruptly, another thought hit the lady like a train wreck because not long-ago Big Bear had asked her for the phone to use.

  Thinking of the possibility that her heart wanted, Bai Yan carefully climbed out of the bed without waking her boy, moving quickly and silently towards the direction of bathroom like a sneaky housewife that’s about to meet their secret lover.

  Once inside and after pressing the receive button.

  “Yan Yan……”


  The voice that came through was low and hoarse, yet it carried a hypnotic tone that sucked the very air out of the lady’s throat. It’s too familiar and causes her eyes to tear up.

  “Yan Yan……”


  The man on the other end didn’t get a reply so he called out again through the phone, this time carrying even more tenderness and yearning to the point it could melt a woman.

  “Mmm, I’m here……” Bai Yan finally realizes she’s being too quiet and muttered this out with sobbing tone.

  After a long pause on both sides: “Yan Yan, I miss you……”


  Eight years of yearning and separation, that’s all he needed to convey his feelings……

  Not far away in the back mountain of the Water Clan’s estate, a big orange cat was currently loafing around in the grasses and enjoying the soft breeze when it overheard that lovely beckoning. Immediately, the critter promptly looked up in surprise at the man who never showed such emotions.
