Chapter 905 “You Must Get Justice For Us (5)”
This was especially true for those who mocked Bai Yan’s adopted mother Lan Yue. If not for that kindhearted woman who took in the orphan girl, the Lan House wouldn’t be so glorious today, nor would they be able to benefit from the connections they built. What’s more, the world only saw the good parts of this relationship, none bothered to think about the terrible times Bai Yan had to endure when Bai Ruo orchestrated the wretched reputation and the fact she had to singlehandedly give birth in the wilds.
……
“Great-grandfather! ”
Even from far away, Bai Yan and her son couldsee the members of the Lan family coming over. But as a child, Bai Xiachen naturally couldn’t wait and made a run for Old Lord Lan’s leg.
This immediately shattered the stern and harsh expression on the old grandfather: “Xiachen, its only been half a year and you’re already so tall.”
Clinging to the leg, then to the hand, the boy was absolutely craving for attention: “Great-grandfather, although I now have three great-grandfathers, I still miss you a lot.”
Smiling even deeper in the eyes, the old grandfather just got sugarcoated by those oh so sweet, sweet words. “Oh you’re not only taller now, your tongue also got sweeter. How can your great-grandfather I not like you?”
Old Madam Lan as well, this grandmother was smiling right into her heart at this sight. But instead of adding more words to the pair’s reunion, she’s more inclined towards her own sex. “Yan’er, how come you are not coming over to let grandmother here look over you?”
Warmed by the attention, Bai Yan didn’t need to say anything more and moved her legs forward. “Grandmother, how come I don’t see my cousins?”
“Oh, your cousins didn’t come because of another matter. Don’t mind them.”
Amused by the news, Bai Yan could already guess the reasoning. It’s no secret her big cousin loves the female queen of the Feng Qi Kingdom, and since she’s currently in the Holy Land, that makes it very probable her cousins are heading over there.
“Son, bring your great-grandfather and them inside first. I still need to wait here.”
“Don’t worry Mother, I will take good care of everyone….” Patting his chest, the little steambun acts all confident like someone trustworthy.
“Go ahead then.” Ruffling up that hair at how adorable her son was acting, Bai Yan couldn’t help but chuckle at this boy’s growth.
Unbeknownst to everyone though, this woman was in fact rather worried about something despite her happy appearance. The main reason being her husband Di Cang. According to Lord Chu Ran’s words, the demon king should’ve gone to the Medicine Sect after rushing over to the Holy Land first. However, it’s already been a few days since then. If its only going over there to check on her, the man should’ve been done by now and well on his way over here.
Did something happen?
Exactly at this moment when her thoughts were spiraling into unnecessary worry, a familiar voice suddenly knocks her out of it from the rear. “Yan’er, are you waiting for me?”
Without giving her a chance to respond, a pair of powerful hands pulled her into a tight embrace. It’s warm and comforting, giving her all the security she needs to feel at ease. “Where did you go? Why so late?”
