Chu Ningyi stepped out after was.h.i.+ng his face. He looked at Shui Anluo who was squatting by the suitcase and then at his son on the bed who was in such grief that his tears could decimate the Western Mountains. He walked over and scooped the baby into his arms.
“What’re you looking for?” Chu Ningyi asked and walked over to watch her pour the clothes out.
“Haha, this. I never thought that Maid Yu actually packed it,” Shui Anluo exclaimed. Her actions while dressed in the c.o.c.ktail dress were definitely unladylike. She held the little b.u.mblebee jumpsuit and turned around. “Look, the little darling shall wear this today.”
It was a short-sleeved and shorts jumpsuit in the form of a b.u.mblebee, complete with little b.u.mblebee wings. There was even a tiny b.u.mblebee stinger on the b.u.t.tocks. The hat was in the form of a b.u.mblebee’s head. It was an extremely cute outfit.
“What do you think? What do you think?” Shui Anluo asked as if she was presenting a treasure.
Chu Ningyi nodded. He had chosen this outfit so, naturally, it would be approved.
Shui Anluo excitedly took her son and put the outfit on him. “Oh, my little b.u.mblebee.” Shui Anluo exclaimed and took her phone out. She then looked at her son who was lying on the bed. “Look at Mommy, look at Mommy.”
The little darling squealed and tugged on his tiny clothes. What was this?
Chu Ningyi stood next to the bed and watched the mother and son. Finally, he shook his head and walked into the bathroom again to change his clothes.
The guests began to arrive in the castle at quarter past seven.
Shui Anluo headed to her mother’s room. Luo Yun was not around, he was probably outside greeting the guests.
Long Manyin was dressed in a snow-white wedding gown and decked out in exquisite makeup. She was now sitting on the side of the bed as she looked out. She had no bridesmaids and did not need any.
“Mother…” Shui Anluo pushed the door open and entered with the little darling.
Long Manyin waved her hand and asked her to come over. She then took the little darling in her arms, unconcerned about spoiling her wedding dress. The little darling had been raised by his maternal grandmother so he closest to his maternal grandmother. As his grandmother took him in her arms, he bounced around excitedly on her lap.
“He’s certainly gotten fairer since the last time,” Long Manyin said and kissed the little darling on the cheek.
“Chu Ningyi took really good care of him. He was afraid that he might get hungry or thirsty. Chu Ningyi’s mother even sent Maid Yu to help us take care of him.” Shui Anluo explained as she sat on the edge of the bed. She wrapped her arms around her mother and took a selfie. “I’ll send this to the Empress Dowager. She’ll be so happy to know that you’re getting married.”
“Is Chu Ningyi’s mother’s att.i.tude toward you the same as before?” Long Manyin asked worriedly.
Shui Anluo c.o.c.ked her head as she sent the pictures and replied, “His mother is much nicer to me now. Besides, when I got hurt the last time, his mother had scolded him too.”
“That’s good.” Long Manyin relaxed.
“Mother, I’ve told Father about your wedding but he hasn’t woken up.” Shui Anluo lowered her head as she muttered.
Long Manyin’s gaze darkened. She reached out to pat Shui Anluo’s hand and said, “Your father and I may have ended things long ago but that doesn’t change our love for you, understand?”
“Mother, I don’t understand. Since the one you love is Father Luo, why had you gotten together with Father? Did you ever love Father?” Shui Anluo finally asked the question before her mother’s wedding.
Long Manyin’s expression changed and she tightened her grip around Shui Anluo’s hand. “Let’s not talk about that. Come outside with me.”
Shui Anluo felt disappointed but she continued to nod and smile. She scooped the little darling into her arms and linked her other arm with her mother’s. “Mother, you must be happy, extremely happy this time.” Shui Anluo leaned on her shoulder as she murmured softly into her ear.
