Chapter 708: Chapter 708 It’s the Prominence of Starlight_1

Bai Peiluan and Ye Baixiu rushed over upon hearing the news. Song Chuanqi, Bai Lanwu, Leng Chenmo, and Tang Zhou had already retreated into the house. Leng Chenmo, not knowing how to converse with the two elders, was sitting in the living room playing chess with Song Chuanqi, per Tang Zhou’s suggestion.

In reality, Tang Zhou wanted to play mahjong, and there were just enough people to make up a table, but Bai Lanwu insisted on cooking. Left with only three, he could only sit beside Leng Chenmo and watch the chess game between him and Song Chuanqi.

Tang Zhou had abysmal understanding about chess, but couldn’t resist commenting on each move, acting like a master Go player. The actual skill he had was clear to both Leng Chenmo and Song Chuanqi who were playing.

Bai Peiluan rushed into the kitchen, only to find Bai Lanwu chopping vegetables while wiping her tears, but her face did not show sadness but anticipation.

“Peiluan, you’re here? Do you have any green onions at home? The kitchen seems to be low on them. I want to make chopped chili fish head, it just doesn’t have the right taste without onions. Too bad we don’t have any sea fish, a certain kind of sea fish head is perfect for this dish, it’s absolutely delicious.”

Happy for her sister, Bai Peiluan replied: “I’ll call for someone to bring it over.”

After making the call, she washed vegetables standing on the side, finding the coincidence too much. “Are you sure?”

“That child did a DNA test without us knowing. I can’t say for certain, but I see so much of Chuanqi in him. He said he’ll take another paternity test with us. The previous one was only with his father, now he wants to do one with me. Peiluan, tell me, is this real? Is such an excellent child really my son?”

Bai Peiluan replied, “Both you and your husband are exceptional, why can’t you have an exceptional son? That boy, the most outstanding one in the Leng family. I never imagined… It must be heaven’s will. No, it must be that the star’s father is prosperous. Master Huixian did say, that child of the star is a little lucky charm, those who are close to her will prosper.”

Bai Lanwu felt both sour and moved. Even while rinsing the vegetables, she kept stealing glances at the living room.

The man and the boy inside, playing chess, seemed to have made prior arrangements because from the angle of the kitchen, they were visible as clear as day. Now, she felt insecure if she didn’t glance towards the living room every minute. Her heart was filled with different emotions.

If only her child wasn’t swapped and was raised by her and Chuanqi, what would the scene be like now?

Regrettably, she had missed all moments of her son growing up. How he babbled as he learned to talk, his unsteady steps when he learned to walk, sending him off to school… She witnessed none of that. She never cheered him on when he took his college entrance exams, nor attended his university graduation… All these moments she wished to take part in were lost in the past, never to return. How could she come to terms with this?

Just last night, she was discussing with Chuanqi about asking their daughter to give them a regret pill. If they couldn’t find their son, they would use it to return to the past and prevent the theft of their child. But now, their lost son had found them himself.

Whether regret pill or not, she had already given up on the idea. For the years to come, all she wanted was to cook a few more meals for her son, and do all she can do, to make up for the lack of maternal and paternal love he experienced.

Wiping her tears, Bai Lanwu said, “I indeed raised a good daughter. If she and Xiao Ye hadn’t gone on that trip to the North, and accidentally learnt about it from the doctor who delivered me, I might never have known that I have such an exceptional son.”
