Chapter 925: Mother and Daughter Reunited
She did not have any memories of her mother at all.
All she knew was that her mother’s last name was He.
Qin Xiaoyu pulled Xi Xi to her side and pointed at He Xiyan as she said, “Xi Xi, quick, call her ‘mom’. This is your mother.”
She sounded very emotional.
He Xiyan was also overcome with emotion and tears brimmed in her eyes as she stared at her daughter. She reached out once again.
Xi Xi pursed her lips together and studied He Xiyan. Her eyes blinked occasionally as though she was wavering.
A while later, she finally moved and slowly took two steps forward.
“Mom…” she said softly. Then, there was a subtle change in her expression. She looked happy and a small smile danced on her lips. Although she hated the fact that her mother had taken so long to visit her, she was immediately pleased with the thought that she was no longer a motherless child.
She decided to let bygones be bygones and not bear a grudge against her mother for failing to visit all these years.
He Xiyan was speechless.
She opened her mouth excitedly. She felt as though her heart was shaking and even her outstretched hand started to tremble.
She pulled her daughter into her arms and hugged her tightly while she stroked her daughter’s face with her free hand.
This was her daughter, her daughter whom she hadn’t seen for three years. This was also the first time she knew what her daughter looked like.
“Xi Xi…, this is all my fault. I should have remembered you earlier,” she said hoa.r.s.ely as tears rolled down her cheeks.
Xi Xi bit her lips. She wasn’t excited at all and her spirits had only improved slightly because she knew that she was no longer a motherless child.
“Mom, you’re hurting me,” she said. Her mother’s grip around her was so tight that she felt breathless and uncomfortable.
He Xiyan finally realized that she had reacted too strongly earlier and quickly released Xi Xi. Then, she stroked Xi Xi’s back and said, “I’m sorry, my dear. I was too excited earlier.”
Xi Xi smiled and revealed her perfect set of tiny teeth.
She pointed toward the castle and said, “Mom, will you dine with us? The chefs here would always whip up delicious meals in the afternoon. I’m going to have lunch soon.”
He Xiyan froze and a look of awkwardness flashed past her face because she hadn’t expected her daughter to treat her so cordially. She gently placed an arm around her daughter’s shoulders and shook her head as she said with a smile, “Xi Xi, do you want to head out with me to the streets to grab something? We can go right away.”
All she wanted was to spend time with her daughter. She even wanted to bring her daughter to her place but unfortunately, she was now staying in a hotel.
She vowed that she would bring both Yuan Yuan and Xi Xi to live with her after she found a house.
“I won’t go out to eat. Our teacher told us that most of the food outside is unsanitary and is as good as rubbish. I don’t like to eat food from outside because it will give me a stomachache,” she recited strangely.
Then, she looked at her little robot Dudu.
Dudu’s eyes suddenly turned green as it said mechanically, “Yes, mistress. Food sanitation issues are serious problems in our country and there would be tens of thousands of food poisoning cases reported on an annual basis. There are many restaurants that use recycled cooking oil or large amounts of genetically modified products. Humans should try to eat as many vegetables as possible to remain healthy and the best way to do so is to cook them personally.”
