With her hands behind her back, Su Qianqian paced back and forth, suddenly recalling how strange Luo Wuhen had acted those days…
Looking back, that was totally what someone looked like when they were pregnant! Who would have thought she’d hit that kind of tiny chance?!
“So what do you think…? If you can’t accept her, I’ll send the two back,” Lin Muxue asked.
“Wait a moment, let me think…”
Su Qianqian was torn. She really didn’t want anything to do with Luo Wuhen anymore, and the child’s appearance wasn’t her fault—she’d always been the one forced in everything!
But for some reason, things on Luo Wuhen’s side were in chaos again?
She truly understood how dangerous and inhuman a tumultuous court could be.
Even if Luo Wuhen was there, things wouldn’t fall into utter chaos, but for a child, it was still much too dangerous. If it was just for refuge…
“It’s two blue-haired people who came, right? I’ll go meet them first…” Su Qianqian said hesitantly. She still felt indecisive.
Following Lin Muxue, Su Qianqian walked to the sect entrance. As soon as Shun saw Su Qianqian come out, she greeted her excitedly:
“Her Majesty the Empress! No, um… Sorry, I didn’t mean—”
The words “Her Majesty the Empress” had slipped out the moment Shun got excited.
She realized at once that this might anger Su Qianqian, and hurried to explain.
Su Qianqian waved her hand helplessly. She knew what kind of person Shun was and wasn’t bothered by it.
Her real reason for coming was…
“Do you have any images of that child…?”
Su Qianqian didn’t even know what she felt about the child.
It all seemed unreal, so she wanted to see if seeing her child would make her feel something…
The two sisters exchanged glances and excitedly pulled out a whole pile of Liuying Stones!
“These are all of them—wait, we’ve got plenty more. I’m telling you, little Siqian is just too adorable! She looks just like you! Loves reading, loves desserts, her smile is so cute it could make your heart stop! And…”
Su Qianqian ignored their non-stop praise and casually activated a Liuying Stone…
Soon, a cute child appeared in the image—a child intently studying.
Su Qianqian stared blankly at the image, an instinctive sense of intimacy welling up inside…
“She looks so serious—just like Luo Wuhen…” Su Qianqian thought with mixed feelings…
Soon, the little girl in the image turned toward the recording, her face breaking into a brilliant smile.
Lin Muxue was also watching the scene, and she had to admit, it was really quite similar.
The recording soon finished and looped. Su Qianqian opened another Liuying Stone, and then another, and another…
Seeing Su Qianqian’s expression, Shun and Ying knew it was very likely to work!
Very soon, Su Qianqian snapped out of it, her eyes complicated…
“If it’s just for her safety, let the child come. After all, the child did nothing wrong—but I can’t possibly forgive Luo Wuhen for what she’s done.”
Hearing this, Shun and Ying were first overjoyed, but after her follow-up, their expressions froze again…
But no matter what, at least their goal was achieved!
They immediately contacted Luo Wuhen, who could not keep the smile off her lips when she heard the news…
After spending another day with Luo Siqian, that evening before bed, Luo Wuhen asked Siqian:
“Siqian, do you want to meet your mother? Tomorrow, I’ll take you to find her—how about that?”
“Huh?” Luo Siqian was confused. What did that mean? She asked, “But… aren’t you right here?”
Luo Wuhen rubbed her forehead against her daughter’s and said gently, “Strictly speaking, I’m one of your mothers. The one you always wanted to know as your ‘father’—her name is Su Qianqian. Sorry, I forgot to tell you earlier.”
Siqian’s mind went blank for a moment.
Even though she was only six, she knew she should have a father and a mother, and Mother and Shun and Ying had always told her that he was already gone, but…
“Yes! I want to! I’m so happy!” However strange it seemed, she was finally going to meet her long-missed “father” tomorrow?! So excited, so excited!
Siqian had been sleepy, but now she was so excited she couldn’t sleep at all!
“Mother, Mother, can you tell me about my other mother? Um… it’s confusing to call both of you ‘Mother.’ I’ll call you Mother and call her Mama! Mother, tell me about Mama!”
“Well… She has the same golden eyes as you, and she’s just as adorable as you…”
“Adorable?”
“Mm… She’s a bit… petite. When you grow up, you might even be taller than her.”
“Really? Then when I grow up, can I hold Mama the way Mother holds me? I can’t wait to see what Mama is like… hehe.”
“So, what kind of person is Mama? What does she like? Will she not like me? After all, she’s never met me…” Luo Siqian said, a bit downcast.
Luo Wuhen comfortingly ruffled her hair. “She’ll definitely like you. She… really likes children, likes reading stories, and loves sweet things, so she’s sure to like you too, definitely…”
“Hehe, then Mama is just like me! I can’t wait!”
“Then, hurry and get some sleep. Otherwise, you won’t have the energy to meet your Mama.”
“That’s right! I’ll sleep now! Good night, Mother! Oh, since Mother likes sweets, I want to buy some desserts she likes as a gift for her…”
“Then let’s leave a bit later tomorrow and prepare the gift together…”
“Okay…”
The next morning, Luo Siqian woke up bright and early, dressed herself, and tidied herself up as best she could—she wanted Mama to see her at her prettiest!
“Siqian, it’ll take about two days to get there. It’s too early to get all ready now.”
“Ehh~~? So far… But I’m so excited! Gifts, gifts, I want to buy gifts for Mama!”
“Alright, alright~. Wait for Mother to get ready, then we’ll set off~. Siqian, come here, I have a gift for you, one I made myself.”
“Really?! A gift you made yourself, Mother? Is it something yummy?” Siqian ran excitedly over, and Luo Wuhen placed two beautiful bracelets onto her wrists…
“Wow! So pretty! I love it! Thank you, Mother!” Luo Siqian hugged Luo Wuhen, planted two big kisses on her cheek, and then, under the lamp, gazed at the lovely bracelets her mother had made.
At the Market, Luo Siqian bought a whole heap of her favorite pastries, made up a beautiful package, and set off on her “search for family” journey…
On the Flying Boat, it was the first time Luo Siqian had traveled so far. Gazing at the endless mountains, she couldn’t help but exclaim:
“Mother, look! It’s so beautiful!” Luo Siqian tugged at her mother’s sleeve, and Luo Wuhen answered with a gentle pat on her head.
“Want to go down and see the forest?”
“Huh? Can we?”
“Of course! It’s your first time going far away—wouldn’t it be a pity not to play a little?”
“Yay~! I want to see bears!”
“Let’s go, let’s look for bears together~!”
Luo Wuhen brought the Flying Boat down into the forest, Divine Sense spreading out to search for interesting animals…
And so, half playing and half traveling, the mother and daughter arrived at the Sword Sect.
“Wow~! The mountain’s so high! Does Mama live here?”
“That’s right. Soon, you’ll see your Mama…”
“Mother… I, I’m suddenly so nervous. What if Mama doesn’t like me…”
“She’ll definitely like you. Don’t worry—no one could dislike adorable little Siqian~” Luo Wuhen pinched her cheek.
But… as she looked toward the Sword Sect, Luo Wuhen was just as nervous herself…
The Flying Boat slowly landed in front of the Protector Array, where a group of people was already waiting.
As soon as Luo Siqian got off the Flying Boat, she saw a big crowd. Among them, there were two people with golden eyes…
“Mama?” Luo Siqian called out tentatively to Su Qianqian…
At first glance, she recognized Su Qianqian—not because she was the only one petite with golden eyes, but because of that innate sense of closeness.
Even though she had never seen her before, the moment she saw Su Qianqian, she just knew—this was her Mama!
The person she called out to opened her arms, and Luo Siqian didn’t hesitate—she rushed over and threw herself into her embrace!
“Mama!”
