Several female guests were uncontrollably releasing shocked exclamations during those moments when the baby fell, hoping to help the baby and shower him with kisses.
Looking at the baby, Huan Qing Yan felt a very special closeness with him and was unable to turn her eyes away the moment they landed on him. She only felt that the longer she looked at him, the more adoration she was feeling; a strong feeling of affection that came from deep within her.
This unknown sense of closeness and tenderness caused her heart to feel pain whenever she witnessed the baby’s falls. If Bai Li Jia Bao had not been pulling on her hand, Huan Qing Yan would have charged forward to carry the baby in her arms to shower him with comfort.
How could she be willing to allow such a cute baby to suffer any injuries, even if only a tiny bit?
When she saw the baby wobbling towards her direction, her heart was filled with happiness and she was in high spirits.
She watched as the child’s two short legs brought him towards a meter in front of her; at that moment, his legs lost balance and he was about to fall forward.
Huan Qing Yan no longer bothered about anything else, she squatted down and hugged the baby.
A faint scent of milk and herbs came from the soft little body in her arms, Huan Qing Yan felt bittersweetness welling in her heart, yet a strong sense of contentment was in there too.
She took in a deep breath of the child’s unique herbal scent and used both her hands to gently pat the back of the child while consoling him in a gentle tone: “It’s fine now, have you gotten hurt from the fall?”
A pair of fragrant soft arms hugged Huan Qing Yan’s neck, before a giggle was heard followed by a sweet voice: “Mama…”
Everyone became petrified. What is this situation?
Huan Qing Yan felt her heart ached when she heard the word, her eyes started to tear, her heart was feeling bitter and painful, yet there was joy, and also sorrow…
The jade-like cute baby in her eyes used his large spirited eyes to look at her curiously.
He giggled again and shouted: “Mama!”
Huan Qing Yan was completely stunned.
……
Nan Gong Bei Cheng’s eyes turned sharp in his seat, whose child is that?
Bai Chen Feng was also wearing a shocked expression!
On the other side, the expressions of Crazy Sage and Bai Li Ren were already black beyond description.
Whose wild child is this? Did they not teach the child not to call random people as their mother? This is the engagement ceremony of the Bai Li Clan and Shang Qiu Clan, yet a child suddenly appeared and called the bride their mother, what would outsiders think about this?
Can it be that the Shang Qiu Clan wanted to back away and were too embarrassed to bring it up, so they used this trick and made it look like the Bai Li Clan were the ones who had done wrong first?
Bai Li Ren started his internal conspiracy theory dialogue.
Crazy Sage did not know that Bai Li Ren’s thoughts had wandered off to a terrifying level; the former was doing his best to suppress the anger surging in him while ordering his men to find out whose child is that. Who are his parents? He wants the family members of the child to quickly take him away. If the parents could not be found, they were to bring the child away and care for properly first.
Once today has ended, they can slowly investigate and find out who had dared to cause a scandal in the engagement ceremony between the two families; were they targeting the Bai Li Clan or the Shang Qiu Clan?
“Where is the family of this Little Young Master? Please bring him away quickly, or else, do not blame the Bai Li Clan for taking away this child!”
At that moment, a refreshing voice rang out: “That is my son!”
Huan Qing Yan’s body froze when she heard that voice.
Entering the door was a tall figure wearing a long luxurious red robe with dark markings, and on his head was a small crown that acted as a hairpin. The corners of his clothes would flutter even though there was no wind as he stood there like a jade tree, while his handsome and exquisite face was emitting a radiance that made it hard for others to shift their eyes away once the gaze landed on him.
