When Mengmeng woke up from her nap, she found herself inside the arms of her mother.
Li Bingbing was sleeping and hugging her close together with Qinqing who was sleeping on Mengmeng"s other side.
Her mother was hugging her...
Mengmeng snuggled against her mother as her eyes started to become misty.
Li Bingbing was woken up when he felt her s.h.i.+rt becoming wet. When she turned to look at Mengmeng, she saw her shoulders shaking.
"Mengmeng? Are you alright?" Li Bingbing asked worriedly.
Mengmeng nodded but her face was still buried on her mother"s chest.
Li Bingbing gently pushed her back before she sat up so that she could see her daughter better, she was surprised to see her crying. When she saw her that way, it broke her heart.
"Mama..." Mengmeng sat up and hugged her as she buried her face in her chest once again.
Li Bingbing bit her lower lip, it was her fault why Mengmeng was acting that way. If only she realized things sooner, she could avoid hurting her daughter.
"I"m so sorry, Mengmeng..." Li Bingbing hugged her back close as tears welled up at the side of her eyes. "Mama is so sorry for hurting you."
"Mama... please don"t hate Mengmeng," Mengmeng begged as she faced her mother. "Mengmeng promise to be a good girl so, please... don"t leave Mengmeng."
"Oh sweetheart, I do not hate you. I will never hate you." She gently cupped her wet cheek and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. "I love you, I really love you so much... I am sorry if I made you feel unloved... I am so sorry."
This was the scene Lu Xian Yu saw when he took a peek inside the room. He was glad that things started to look well for his daughter and for Li Bingbing.
"I promise... I promise that I will do my best to become a better mother for you and your brother."
Mengmeng raised her head and looked at her mother, a snot was rolling down her nose and her eyes were red and full of tears, "Mama really loves me?"
"Baby, of course, I do, I love you so much," answered Li Bingbing with no hesitation. She wiped her cheeks from her tears before she used her s.h.i.+rt to help Mengmeng blow her nose. "So now, don"t cry, okay?"
Mengmeng nodded a few times before she happily hugged her mother, relief filled her body. She really was afraid that her mother would leave her because she doesn"t love her anymore.
Li Bingbing patted Mengmeng"s head. While she was comforting her daughter, a small growl was heard from Mengmeng"s tummy.
She chuckled softly, "Are you hungry?"
Mengmeng shyly nodded, her cheeks became redder.
"Why are you being so shy to me right now? This is not my daughter." Li Bingbing laughed, pinching her daughter"s soft cheeks lightly.
"Mamaaaa!"
Qinqing woke up because of the noises they are making. He squinted his eyes open before he placed a finger on his lips, "Mama, Jiejie, shhhhh!"
The two blinked a few times, they looked at each other and they erupted into laughter which only made the adorable frown and covered his ears, "Qinqing"s sleeping! So shhhh!"
Li Bingbing and Mengmeng grinned at each other before they gave Qinqing a tickle attack. The gloomy atmosphere faded and the room was suddenly filled with laughter.
Lu Xian Yu who was just standing outside the room was relieved. The side of his lips curled up as the laughter inside the room affected his mood. The tingling warm sensation grew in his chest.
Xia Meilin saw Lu Xian Yu smiling by himself outside of the room and when she walked closer, she heard laughter and voices coming inside the room.
Her eyes softened as she suddenly understood the situation. She was glad that calling Lu Xian Yu was the right decision. She only allowed that because she respected her brother"s wish.
Xia Sinian really knew what he was doing by allowing Lu Xian Yu in his family"s lives.
"Why are you not going in?" Asked Xia Meilin.
"I might ruin it."
She raised a brow, "Will you now?"
He chuckled a bit, "Maybe?"
Xia Meilin sighed. "You"re already a part of their life you know."
"Am I?" Lu Xian Yu was somewhat unsure. He knew that he was only able to get this close because of Xia Sinian.
"Do you want me to kick you inside?" She crossed her arms.
Lu Xian Yu raised his hands in surrender, he chuckled, "My sister-in-law is scary."
"Well?"
"Fine, fine." Lu Xian Yu faced the door. He inhaled deeply before he opened the door and took a step in the room.
As soon as he did, his face was. .h.i.t by a pillow.
"Oopsie..." Qinqing covered his mouth with his hands.
The room was filled with feathers coming from the pillows.
Lu Xian Yu took the pillow that hit his face and looked at it with a blank look on his face. "Who threw this?"
Mengmeng and Qinqing pointed at their mother.
A gasp was heard from Li Bingbing, "How can you sell me out? You little traitors."
