Chapter 53: Lying to Mother
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Feng Yuanxi was certain that the beautiful sister was his mother, which was why she appeared in the forest.
He almost knocked Gu Qingluan over, but she steadied herself and embraced him, saying, “Did someone bully you? Why are you acting so differently today, my little one?’
Sensing something unusual about her son, she patiently asked.
Feng Yuanxi shook his head and said, “I just missed Mother so… so much. ‘
It had only been a few days since they last saw each other, but it felt like they had been separated for years.
Even so, Gu Qingluan was touched by her son’s affection and kissed his forehead, saying, “I missed you too. Those scoundrels from the Gu family must leave today, but you don’t have to go.”
Mother… she kissed him!
Feng Yuanxi’s face flushed, his eyes sparkling, and he nodded in a daze, saying, ‘Yes, yes! I’ll do whatever Mother says! ‘
“Hell, if you really listen to me, it would make things easier!” Gu Qingluan chuckled and playfully rubbed his nose. “Did Bo He know that you came to the Jun Residence? Why didn’t you bring Xiao Bai and Xiao Mei with you?”
Bo He, Xiao Bai, Xiao Mei… Feng Yuanxi didn’t recognize any of these names.
He mumbled, “I came here secretly on my own.”
Then, she would send someone to inform Bo He later to avoid her getting worried.
“Since you came so early, have you had breakfast?” Gu Qingluan asked.
Feng Yuanxi shook his head.
“Let’s go to the kitchen and have a look. There should still be something to eat.”
Feng Yuanxi obediently nodded.
He would follow whatever his mother asked
“Before we find something to eat, remember to put on your mask. Do you remember our agreement before coming ashore?” Gu Qingluan’s words startled him. What agreement?
Without waiting for his response, Gu Qingluan lowered her head curiously and asked, “You forgot?”
“Mother, can you say it again? I will definitely remember this!’ Feng Yuanxi lowered her head guiltily.
If Mother found out that he wasn’t Xiaonan, would she abandon him?
He didn’t want to lie to his mother, but he was afraid that if he told the truth, his mother would abandon him.
In a few days, he would gather the courage to confess to his mother!
A flicker of surprise passed through Gu Qingluan’s mind.
Xiaonan had always had a good memory, so how could he forget the agreement she had repeatedly emphasized?
Looking at the little one, who appeared remorseful with his head lowered, Gu Qingluan smiled. Perhaps she was overthinking things.
The members of the Gu family were unaware of her having a son, let alone what Xiaonan looked like.
“Gu Jinrong and Gu Si’er have seen you in your disguise, so it’s safer for you to remain undisguised while staying in Bu Gui Building. But now that we’re back at the Jun Residence, there are too many enemies watching us. Therefore, you must continue to disguise yourself. Secondly, when we’re outside, we will address each other as master and disciple. Please make sure not to address me incorrectly. And thirdly, it is crucial for you to protect yourself. Do you remember these instructions?” Gu Qingluan explained. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
She referred to the numerous adversaries they faced, some of whom were likely members of the Gu family.
Recalling everything he had witnessed earlier, Feng Yuanxi felt concerned about his mother’s safety.
Although his mother was formidable, the sheer number of adversaries worried him. He didn’t want her to bear the burden alone.
He was determined to protect his mother!
“I remember, Mother. Please rest assured, I won’t forget again,” Feng Yuanxi reassured her.
Since he didn’t have a disguise mask with him, Gu Qingluan retrieved a thin, paper-like face skin from her storage ring and gently applied it to his face.
“Alright, let’s go to the kitchen and find something to eat,” Gu Qingluan said with a warm smile as she held his hand.
Meanwhile, Gu Qin’er, Gu Siler, and others were being expelled.
Upon spotting Gu Qingluan, Gu Si’er immediately exclaimed, “Gu Qingluan, who do you think you are to chase us away? I’m not leaving!”
Feng Yuanxi furrowed his brows and coldly stared at the individual.
Were they also among the adversaries who were mistreating his mother?
Gu Qin’er caught sight of the little boy Gu Qingluan was holding hands with, and a gleam of recognition flashed in her eyes— It was him!
Unexpectedly, Gu Qingluan had brought her disciple into the residence.. Gu Qin’er knew she had to inform the Grand Madam about this news as soon as possible!
