“Actually, I should hate you. Hate you for leaving without bidding farewell, hate you for leaving me behind all alone in the Bai family! But the moment I saw you, I just realized that I’m still unable to hate you.”
Bai Xiao’s tightly clenched fist eased up. His footsteps were very slow as he walked toward Bai Yan step by step.
“Back then, why did you…not bring me away? Even if I had to wander around with you, even if we couldn’t have three full meals, it would have been better than staying behind in the Bai family without you!”
The young man’s voice trembled as tears filled his eyes. “But why did you leave alone? Why did you leave me behind? In this Bai family, I only have you as my sole relative! But in the end, even you had abandoned me!”
“Xiao’er…” Bai Yan’s lips moved slightly. “I’m sorry.”
In these six years, she had Chen’er’s accompaniment and had the love and protection of her masters, but Bai Xiao had lived in this Bai family all alone for these entire six years.
She could not compensate for what she owed him in this entire lifetime.
“I don’t need your apology!” the young man tightly held down Bai Yan’s shoulders as his voice was hoarse. However, it instantly softened. “I just wish for you to promise me that you’d never leave me behind in the future, alright?”
He scooped Bai Yan into his embrace and hugged her very hard. It was as if he was terrified that she would still disappear the very next moment.
“Alright.” Bai Yan could feel the young man’s trembling body. She raised her hand and patted his shoulders as she said softly, “I won’t leave you behind again in the future.”
Bai Xiao slowly released the woman in his embrace. The tears on his face had yet to dry, but he revealed the first smile he had in six years. “If you wish to leave, bring me along. No matter how much I have to suffer and no matter how much difficulties I would have to bear, I’m not afraid! As long as I have you by my side, everything would be fine.” 1
“I won’t leave.”
She returned for the sake of revenge. Now that her revenge was yet to be completed, how could she possibly leave?
“Elder Sis.” Bai Xiao looked at Bai Yan hesitantly as he pursed his thin lips slightly. “Actually, back then, on the night you disappeared, our maternal grandmother had sent people to seek you out and had intended to bring you back to the Lan family, but they were blocked by Yu Rong’s people. I had planned to inform you, but those people disallowed me from entering the room to see you. The next day, news of you eloping with someone started spreading.”
A kind smile appeared in Bai Yan’s mind. It was a pity that the original owner of this body had thought that her own mother had wronged the Lan family and had never had the courage to take a single step into the Lan family residence all these years.
“Are maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother doing well?”
The Lan family home was still her maternal grandparents’ house. Even though they did not interact much, she could feel that the old madam of the Lan family was truly quite loving toward them siblings.
All these years, Old Madam Lan had sent people to send them, the brother-sister duo, over to the manor, but was rejected by Bai Xiao and the original owner of this body.
Thinking about this, Bai Yan sighed. ‘I really don’t know who this pair of siblings learned their stubbornness from, making those who love them the most so worried.’
“Our maternal grandfather is sickly. The Lan family is dependent on our uncle alone to hold the family up, so it’s totally incomparable to the past.” Bai Xiao glanced at Bai Yan.
“Furthermore, you also know that back then, Maternal Grandfather had gone broke in order to purchase the few bottles of pills and had intended to let Uncle take them. But it was also then that Mother insisted on marrying Father! However, the Bai family was still unwilling to relocate to Di City then.”
Naturally, there was a reason why the Bai family was unwilling to come over to Di City! Was it not because he was fearful that with the Lan family as Mother’s backers, he would be unable to do as he pleased? Otherwise, he would not have immediately relocated to Di City the moment the Bai family managed to squeeze into the top notch prestigious families.
