Chapter 881: Mom, You Must Come Pick Me Up

He Xiyan slept early that night because she felt both physically and mentally exhausted.

She curled up in her soft and large bed. This bed was 2-meters wide but she was the only person lying on it at the moment, so she found it difficult to get used to the cold sheets beside her. Her hands and feet were cold for the longest time.

Her body’s constitution had been Yang-deficient for the past two years, so her legs tended to be cold during winter. She was so used to putting her feet on Jiahang’s body and he would always warm her up.

She looked at her phone and saw that it was already 9:30 PM but she still could not fall asleep.

Then, her phone rang and she saw that it was a video call from her son, Yuan Yuan.

He Xiyan slapped a hand over her forehead when she remembered that she had forgotten to send Yuan Yuan a voice message today. She quickly turned on the lights, straightened her clothes, and accepted his call.

Soon, a rosy-cheeked boy with big round eyes, long eyelashes, a sharp nose, and a beautiful mouth appeared on screen. He was truly a handsome boy.

“Ma ma…” Yuan Yuan said loudly as he waved at his mother.

He Xiyan smiled and returned the greeting.

“Yuan Yuan, why aren’t you sleeping yet?” she asked since she remembered Yuan Yuan telling her that he would sleep at 9 PM every night.

“I can’t fall asleep because I’m missing you so much,” Yuan Yuan said with a tiny pout and sounded a little upset. His mother had promised to message him every day but she had failed to send him a message today.

“I miss you too,” she said. Then, she couldn’t help but stretch out her hand to stroke Yuan Yuan’s cheeks on the screen.

“Mom… Dad said that he’ll send me over to your place next weekend. You must remember to pick me up from the airport,” he said cheerily and smiled, revealing a set of pearly white teeth. He had two tiny dimples when he smiled which made him look even more adorable.

He Xiyan froze for a moment and looked a little conflicted. She longed to see her son but she remembered that Jiahang might also be coming home next weekend. However, Jiahang was no longer the Chen Jiahang she used to know, so she didn’t know how Gu Shaoqian would feel about Yuan Yuan.

She felt her heart clench painfully at this thought.

“What’s wrong, mom? Do you not want me to come visit you?” Yuan Yuan rubbed at his eyes sadly when he saw that his mother had not responded to his earlier excitement.

He Xiyan didn’t know what to say.

She thought for a moment before she finally nodded and said with a smile, “Of course I’ve missed you. I’ll definitely pick you up from the airport.”

She didn’t know what Jiahang, who had regained his memories, would feel or think about Yuan Yuan’s existence but she couldn’t cut off all contact with her child, nor could she not spend time with him.

Suddenly, another face appeared on the screen and it was none other than Mo Yixuan. He sat behind Yuan Yuan and pulled Yuan Yuan onto his lap.

“What’s wrong, Yan Yan? Why do your eyes look so swollen?” Mo Yixuan asked as he immediately noticed how pallid she looked on screen. She looked as though she had been crying.

He Xiyan ignored him and only looked at her child, Yuan Yuan, as she said, “Yuan Yuan, I’m tired so I’ll turn in first. I’ll send you a text tomorrow so be a good boy and listen to your father and teachers in school.”

She smiled at him, then she cut off the connection.
