Just to be safe, she bought a pepper spray and a stun gun before arriving at Su Xuyan’s villa.
She arrived just as the one-hour time limit came to an end. The password was still Xing Jinnian’s birthday.
How ironic.
Bai Rong pushed the door open and walked in.
Immediately, she spotted Su Xuyan and a little boy seated on the sofa. They were watching a cartoon on the TV.
Bai Rong was shocked to see how much the little boy looked like her when she was little.
Su Xuyan curled his lips into an evil smirk. “Why are you standing there? The ingredients are in the kitchen. Hurry and prepare our meal. Tian and I haven’t eaten yet.”
Tian stared at her curiously before asking, “Mommy?”
Bai Rong was momentarily stunned. When she regained her composure, she hurried over to the little boy and knelt down silently. She was at a loss for words. All she could do was to study his face carefully.
Tian was studying her, too. His eyes reddened. Soon, tears spilled out of his eyes. “Mommy, why didn’t you come and get me?” he asked sadly.
At the sight of his tears, her heart wrenched painfully. Tears escaped her instantly.
My son was taken away from me when he was one week old.
I wanted to protect him, but failed to do so.
Patting his head, she apologized. “I’m sorry. I couldn’t find you.”
Tian threw himself into her arms and hugged her tightly. “Mommy, now that you found me, you won’t leave me alone again, right?”
“Of course not. I’ll take good care of you,” Bai Rong assured him.
The boy wailed pitifully. “Mommy, I suffered a lot in the past.”
Hearing that, Bai Rong’s heart ached for him.
I gave birth to him. He suffered because I failed to protect him.
“Alright. You can have a chat. I’ll be in the kitchen.” Su Xuyan headed for the kitchen as a dangerous gleam appeared in his eyes.
This is getting out of my control. I don’t like this.
Looking back at Bai Rong, who was smiling gently, he thought, She used to be mine. We could’ve given birth to a few adorable kids and lead a perfect life.
Su Xuyan frowned gloomily. I wish we could return to the past when she still loves me.
If she gives me a chance, we can still make it, right?
Su Xuyan went into the kitchen.
“Tell me. How did Mr. Su find you?” asked Bai Rong gently.
Tian pursed his lips and started sobbing again.
Bai Rong wiped his tears away. “You must’ve suffered a lot in the past. Now that I’ve found you, I won’t let you suffer anymore.”
Yet, Bai Rong felt her heart ached at his simple wish.
Other children might not treasure what they had, but for this child, it was what he yearned for.
Su Xuyan smiled faintly and gave him a drumstick. “Then why don’t you stay with me and your mommy?”
“Sure!” Tian was moved to tears.
Bai Rong gazed at her son and shed tears.
Seeing her reaction, Su Xuyan handed her the tissue box silently.
After whipping out a piece of tissue, Bai Rong wiped Tian’s tears before wiping her own.
Su Xuyan took her hand. “Rong, I know this is what you want. A child, a husband, and a family. I can give you a perfect family. You saw how much I’ve changed, right? I’ve been waiting for you ever since. I won’t make any more mistakes from now on. We’ll be a happy family.” He added, “If you’re willing to give birth to my child, I won’t neglect Tian. If you don’t want another child, then I’ll treat Tian as my own.”
Bai Rong stared at the ground and forced herself to calm down. She didn’t want the boy to see her losing control, so she stood up and headed to the bathroom.
Su Xuyan trailed behind her and wrapped his arms around her.
“You know how much I love you. I gave up everything just for you. I can do anything as long as you come back to my side,” implored Su Xuyan.
Bai Rong met his gaze. “That’s Gu Mingchen’s son. Can’t you just give us your blessing?”
At her words, Su Xuyan’s eyes reddened and misted up instantly. “Rong, I gave up on my career and revenge because of you. Why are you so heartless? If you and Gu Mingchen get your son back, what about me? Are you going to leave me alone? I can’t live without you!”
“But if Tian and I leave, Gu Mingchen will be alone, too.”
