Chapter 706
After Leng Chenmo treated Bai Lanwu’s cut finger, he was at a loss for words around the unfamiliar Bai Lanwu. He stood there, lips pressed together, his face appearing particularly icy.
However, Bai Lanwu saw shadows of her husband in his frozen countenance.
No one mentioned it, but seeing the child in front of her now, Bai Lanwu found many expressions strikingly similar to her husband’s.
Through tear-blurred eyes, Bai Lanwu’s lips trembled as she struggled to get out a sentence, “Chi…child, may…may I touch your face? What is your name?”
“Leng Chenmo. Leng as in cold, Chen as in calm, and Mo as in ink.” Leng Chenmo said, every word clear and unequivocal.
“When you furrow your brows, you look especially like Chuan Qi.” She rubbed her eyes fervently, afraid that her blurry vision would obstruct her view, her heart filled with a mix of emotions.
This handsome and mature young man, tall and strong, however, until this moment, she had no idea of his existence. Guilt instantly overwhelmed Bai Lanwu. She didn’t know how to face this son, this godsend?
“I’m… I’m sorry… I… I didn’t know… I didn’t know I had a son.”
She couldn’t let go of her guilt. She only knew she had a daughter, who had died less than a year after her birth. She missed her deceased daughter, even though everyone told her it wasn’t her biological daughter, she still missed her. She failed to take care of someone else’s daughter, yet that someone brought up her own son so well, so handsome, and such a talent.
Originally, she was filled with anger these past few days, resenting the woman who stole her son. Yet now, with Leng Chenmo standing in front of her, she found herself unable to harbor any hate. She felt, that heaven had indeed been merciful to her.
After much twist and turns, an exceptional child had been brought to her, rendering her too incredulous to believe the reality before her.
“It’s not your fault, I understand.” Leng Chenmo let Bai Lanwu’s hand trace her features.
Song Chuanqi finished reading the DNA test report and hung up the phone. Sitting on the reclining chair, he watched Leng Chenmo from five meters away, seeing only his silhouette, which was agonizing and yet filled him with envy towards his wife.
“Cough, cough!”
Song Chuanqi coughed heavily twice, trying to get the mother and son to acknowledge his presence.
Bai Lanwu couldn’t stop her tears, she grabbed onto Leng Chenmo’s arm tightly, as if without this firm grip, everything in front of her would be nothing but a dream.noveldrama
Leng Chenmo noticed the force in Bai Lanwu’s grip on his wrist, he did not break free. Matching Bai Lanwu’s pace, they walked over to Song Chuanqi one after the other.
“Hello.” Leng Chenmo stumbled over words that normally would have come out smoothly in a social setting.
Tang Zhou, standing to the side, exploded at Leng Chenmo: “What do you mean hello? Can’t you speak properly? Call him dad!”
That word couldn’t quite make its way out of Leng Chenmo’s throat yet. Standing upright before Song Chuanqi, he couldn’t utter another word.
Song Chuanqi wasn’t doing much better than Leng Chenmo, father and son were both men of stoic character. They stood there in muted silence.
All Song Chuanqi could do was nod: “Alright, alright…”
He didn’t know what else to say as the three of them were reunited. The yard fell into an unprecedented quietness, to the point where even Tang Zhou was getting antsy for them. Come on, talk! Burst into a tearful embrace! Can’t we have a more touching scene?
