Chapter 26
Mother Is the Most Beautiful Woman in the World
Although she already had an adorable son of her own, no one could resist the charm of such an adorable creature.
Gu Qingluan couldn’t help but plant a kiss on his chubby cheek.
Yuan Xi’s body stiffened for a moment, then immediately turned red.
He… he was kissed by the beautiful sister!
Seeing the little boy’s face turning red, Gu Qingluan’s heart trembled with the overwhelming cuteness.
If it weren’t for someone interrupting, she would definitely spend more time enjoying the cuteness of this little one.
She quickly got up, waving her sleeve in annoyance.
The man and woman who had ambushed them were sent flying again.
The heat on Yuan Xi’s face subsided slightly as he stared at the two people who had fallen to the ground.
They were disturbing his intimacy with his beautiful sister. They were too annoying!
When Gu Qingluan turned around to look at him, the coldness in his eyes disappeared and he looked harmless. He clapped his hands and praised, “Beautiful sister is so powerful!”
Gu Qingluan smiled and took out a rope, tying the two of them back to back.
Her hands were busy, and so was her mouth.
“Little boy, how did you end up alone in this forest? Where are your family members?”
“I’m looking for my mother, beautiful sister. Have you seen my mother?”
“You got separated from your mother? What does your mother look like?”
Yuan Xi’s eyes sparkled. “My mother is the most beautiful woman in the world.”
Gu Qingluan chuckled. It was true that a child as cute as him must have been born to a beautiful mother. But to call his mother the most beautiful woman in the world… Were children really so blindly worshipful of their own parents?
“What else do you remember?” she asked.
“I don’t know,” Yuan Xi shook his head, and the light in his eyes seemed to dim.
Gu Qingluan clapped her hands and approached him. “What color clothes does your mother wear?”
Yuan Xi shook his head again, appearing even more dejected. He lowered his head and spoke in a low voice, “I don’t remember what she looks like.”
Gu Qingluan’s smile faded.
The little one’s mother was likely no longer in this world.
Bending down, Gu Qingluan patted his head. “And what about your father?”
“My father was called away by someone.”
Upon hearing his words, Gu Qingluan understood that he had taken the opportunity while his father was away to come and find his mother.
That father of his was truly irresponsible, leaving the child without proper supervision.
Didn’t his father know that there were many human traffickers and that such a cute child could easily be abducted?
Gu Qingluan had a bad impression of the boy’s father.
She wanted to see if that man would get anxious and worried when he found out his son was missing.
“Are you hungry?”
Rumble!
Yuan Xi’s stomach suddenly growled.
The previous sense of sadness was disrupted, and he awkwardly covered his little belly.
Gu Qingluan suppressed a laugh. “I’m hungry too. How about we eat something before returning to the city?”
Yuan Xi nodded in a daze, avoiding eye contact with her out of embarra.s.sment, but couldn’t help stealing glances at her.
It reminded Gu Qingluan of a little hamster.
She did not expose him. She took out a small stool from her storage ring and let him sit down to rest. Then, she started a fire and roasted the meat.
Yuan Xi moved the small stool to his side and sat down next to her.
Not long after, the aroma of roasted meat spread into the air.
Yuan Xi stared at her with wide eyes.
Until a big drumstick was handed to him.
Yuan Xi blinked his eyes and said,” Since beautiful sister has worked hard, you should eat first!”
Gu Qingluan waved her other hand and gestured for him to look. “I still have more. This is for you.”
Yuan Xi then grabbed the drumstick and took a big bite.
“Be careful, it’s hot!”
“Hiss!” Yuan Xi sucked in air, reluctant to let go of the meat he had bitten into. After all, it was grilled by the beautiful sister herself!
Seeing that he refused to spit it out, Gu Qingluan handed him a small bowl. “Put it in the bowl first and wait for it to cool down before eating.”
Yuan Xi had already taken a few bites, and he swallowed the first mouthful of meat, his eyes shining. “It’s delicious!”
