Chapter 989: Ms. Bai Told Sileng That Mommy Was Here
“My son, Mom knows… that you’re in pain, but… can’t we just move on? Sileng… is only four years old. He’s so young. As a father, you… collapsed first. What about Sileng… If Zhiyuan was still here, she… definitely wouldn’t want to see you like this…”
His mother’s gentle hand moved through his short hair, making him feel a long-lost warmth. His empty eyes gradually returned to reality, and he pressed his head against his mother’s soft belly, “Mom, she’s also wrong. Four years ago… when she left, she said that I would definitely be a… good father. Actually, I’m not. Without her, I don’t want to be a father at all…”
As he spoke, Zhou Yao stretched out his arms and hugged his mother’s waist tightly. At this moment, the 32-year-old man was as fragile as a child, “There are no ifs in this world. If there were, she would still be here. She would definitely come back. How could she bear to see me like this… My heart hurts so much that I’m about to die…”
…
The next morning.
Zhou Sileng’s fever had completely subsided. When he opened his eyes in the morning and saw that there was someone else on the bed, and it was the woman he loved the most, he jumped out of bed.
Bai Qi had slept next to him for an entire night. He actually slept with his own woman for an entire night?
Zhou Sileng was very shy, but more than that… he was very excited.
He quickly put on his clothes and got out of bed. He was as happy as a twittering bird.
Bai Qi was very happy when she saw that little Sileng was in high spirits after his fever had subsided. She was filled with guilt and love for her son. She wished that she could give him all the motherly love that he had missed from the past four years.
After the two of them washed up, Zhou Sileng pulled Bai Qi downstairs and walked into the living room. Zhou Sileng greeted everyone politely and warmly, “Grandma, good morning, Auntie Ni, good morning…”
Mother Zhou quickly poked her head out from the kitchen to take a look. When she saw her grandson’s valiant and spirited appearance, she immediately smiled. “Sileng, why are you up so early? Are you still feeling unwell?”
Zhou sileng shook his head like a rattle drum. “I’m not feeling unwell anymore. I’m as spirited as ever because Bai Qi came to see me!” As he said that, Zhou Sileng acted coquettishly and shook Bai Qi’s arm.
Bai Qi caressed his little head lovingly. “Although your fever has subsided, you have to drink more water today.”
“Yes, Ma’am!” Zhou Sileng gave a military salute in a dignified manner, and he gave Bai Qi a brilliant smile.
Little Sileng’s appearance reminded Bai Qi of the man from four years ago. That man also often gave her a military salute, and he would say — “Yes, Ma’am, lord wife!”
Bai Qi’s thoughts wavered for a moment. Why was she thinking of him again?
However, he didn’t seem to be around.
Bai Qi looked around. Perhaps they had a tacit understanding, but the little guy beside her asked in a crisp and doubtful voice, “Umm, grandma, where’s daddy? Didn’t daddy come back to accompany me last night? It’s already eight o’clock now, daddy is sleeping in.”
When she mentioned Zhou Yao, Zhou Yao’s mother’s eyes reddened. She quickly looked away and said, “Your daddy slept late last night, so we don’t want to wake him up. Let him sleep a little longer. Come, Sileng, Ms. Bai, let’s eat breakfast first.”
“Alright, daddy has worked hard, so let him sleep in. Bai Qi, let’s eat breakfast.” Zhou sileng pulled Bai Qi into the dining room.
Bai Qi glanced at the tightly shut door upstairs. She sat next to Zhou Sileng and started eating breakfast.
…
After breakfast, Zhou Sileng said excitedly, “Bai Qi, you said that you would accompany me for the next two days. Let’s go play on the lawn.”
“Okay.” Bai Qi nodded. “But you just recovered, so you can’t be naughty. How about this? Have you learned how to draw? Take the drawing board and brush, and we’ll go draw on the lawn, okay?”
“Okay, okay, I’ll go get them.” Zhou Sileng was very cooperative. He took the things and dragged Bai Qi out.
Mother Zhou was worried and urged from behind, “Sileng, slow down.”
The two sat on the lawn in the distance. Mother Zhou stood by the door and watched with a gratified smile on her face.
At this time, the door upstairs opened, and Zhou Yao walked out.
He had changed into a clean white shirt and black trousers, and his figure was strong and straight. He had just taken a shower, and his hair was now lying on his forehead. He did not shave, and there was still a trace of blood in his eyes. He looked like an old man who exuded a mature charm.
He spread his long legs and went downstairs. He looked out through the french window, and the view made him stop.
On the lawn in the distance sat a woman and a child. There was a drawing board in front of Zhou Sileng. He was drawing with a brush in his hand. Bai Qi was sitting beside him. Her soft body leaned over, and her left arm went around Zhou Sileng’s body to hold his small hand. She was teaching him how to draw with a smile on her face.
Zhou Sileng was very excited. He didn’t know what the two of them were talking about. Zhou Sileng suddenly pounced on Bai Qi, and the two of them rolled on the lawn.
Then, Bai Qi held Zhou Sileng in her arms. She weighed his weight, as if she was guessing how much he weighed.
Even though they were so far away, Zhou Yao could still hear the cheers and laughter. At this time, the sunlight was just right, and the two were showered in the bright halo, like a beautiful painting.
Zhou Yao’s gaze turned to the two of them. He suddenly felt that the fatigue and pain from last night had been healed at this moment, and his heart was full and gentle.
He did not ask for much. All he wanted in his life was the scene on the lawn at this moment. A son and a beloved woman.
With these, he would be fine. Only then would he be fine.
Mother Zhou turned around in relief. When she turned around, she saw her son standing on the stairs in a daze. She immediately said, “Zhou Yao, you’re up? Come, let’s eat breakfast.”
“Mmm.” Zhou Yao snorted. He retracted his gaze and walked towards the dining room.
No matter how beautiful that scene was, it was useless. Bai Qi was not her, not the her that belonged to him.
He thought that he should wake up!
Auntie Ni brought the piping hot breakfast to the table. Zhou Yao unfolded the napkin and quietly ate his breakfast.
Auntie Ni looked out of the French window and sighed, “Young master, madam, this Ms. Bai really cares about the junior young master. Look at how happy the junior young master is now.”
“Yes.” Ms. Zhou nodded in satisfaction. “My Sileng has a cold personality. I’ve never seen him have a fondness for anyone since he was young, but he has fallen in love with Ms. Bai. Ms. Bai is really good to him…”
As she said that, Ms. Zhou paused for a moment. Then, she thought of something and said to Auntie Ni, “Maybe Ms. Bai really thinks of Sileng as her own son. You don’t know about this, but yesterday at the hospital, Sileng called for his mommy, and Ms. Bai held his little hand and said that mommy is here, don’t be afraid… Now that you mention it, Ms. Bai is really like Sileng’s mommy…”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a clanging sound, and the knife and fork in Zhou Yao’s hand fell to the ground.
The man suddenly stood up from the dining chair and looked at Mother Zhou. “Mom, what did you just say?”
