"Congratulations, Miss Jun! Your son is born!" the nurse comes in holding Zihao. She hands Zihao to Jun Guanying who was exhausted.
"Nurse, what is his color?" Jun Cheng asked the nurse. Jun Cuifen, who was standing beside him, was visibly impatient..
"His color is..black.." the nurse said, completely in shock.
Black? Jun Cheng was completely dumbfounded. The black color had never existed. Where did it come from? What does it mean? Suddenly, Jun Cuifen laughed aloud.
"HAHAHAHAHAH! Black?! That color must be so low, it must be lower than the gray-rankers! Your son is literal trash, and you dare to be a part of the Jun family with your pathetic green rank?!" Jun Cuifen snorted. Jun Guanying did not seem even a little bit surprised, she only stared into Zihao's red eyes.
"That's it, Cheng. I've had enough! This bitch has tarnished our family reputation enough! The Jun family consists only of purple and blue rankers! Having a green and a black shall ruin our image and position!" Cuifen exclaimed.
"Jun Cuifen, shut up! I will throw away neither Ying'er nor Zihao for your selfish desires!" Jun Cheng yelled, veins popping out of his neck.
"Cheng, please let me leave the house with Zihao." Guanying spoke up in a weak tone, her throat still exhausted from a few hours ago.
"What? NO! Ying'er, how could I throw you and our son out?!"
Cuifen seethed in anger at Cheng's words.
"It's alright, Cheng. This is my own choice. I do not feel abandoned by you in any way possible. You have loved me perfectly." Guanying smiled.
"But Ying'er, I have failed you for so long. I let them bully you! I have not made you happy!" Jun Cheng pleaded, a crack coming from his voice. He was distressed. He had planned everything out for Zihao. He had never thought that his beloved, and his newborn would leave him straight away.
"Then, if you feel that you have not made me happy, let me leave. I wish to be free. I will never stop loving you, Cheng." Guanying held his face with pleading eyes.
"I.. I- I understand. I will let you go, Ying'er. I am truly currently not powerful enough to lend you happiness. Though if you ever wish to come back, I will always have my arms open for you."
"Please leave me alone with Zihao for a bit," Guanying said calmly. Jun Cheng, who was looking disheartened, slowly nodded. He gave Zihao a peck before leaving the room slumping. Cuifen smirked.
"Good, so you do know how to back down. From now on, never come back to the Jun family. If I ever see you and your disgusting pet, I will kill both of you personally." Cuifen snickered in disgust.
Guanying stared at Cuifen quietly but with furious eyes. Her red orbs blazed bright as if a fire had lit inside her eyes.
"I, Jun Guanying, curse upon Jun Cuifen. One day, my son shall come and befall revenge upon you and your pathetic excuse of a son. You shall be granted the worst pain this world could ever offer."
"Hahaha, have you gone nuts? Well, have fun rambling on before you leave. I shall go now." Cuifen said happily. She then left.
The little Zihao felt Guanying's grip on him tighten. He made a little sound to calm her down. Guanying looked down.
"Comforting me? My Zihao is so smart." Guanying hugged him dearly.
"Zihao, once we leave the hospital, mommy has to leave. A baddy is chasing ater mommy, mommy can't stay for long. Remember, you are not a low-ranked person. I have sealed your colour to temporarily for the sake of our safety. When the time comes, you will unseal it yourself. Remember, sweetheart, ou are strong with the wind and the sk. Never show our true powers to anyone. Stay low, until Uncle Fang comes get you. Mommy loves you so much."
Zihao stared at Guanying for a bit, then burst into tears. Guanying sobbed and hugged him. She was disheartened. She didn't want to leave Zihao, but she had to. She didn't have a choice.
"Aunt Lanying will take care of you. For now you can only trust Aunt Lanying, big sister Jiali, papa and the Zhang family. Do not trust others so easily. Wait for Uncle Fang. Mommy begs of you, sta safe. We will meet again soon." she hugged the crying Zihao.
After getting discharged from the hospital, Guanying immediately left the Jun Mansion. Jun Juali deeply apologized to Guanyingg for her mother and brother. She promised to watch over Zihao. Jun Cheng was depressed.
Guanying then gave Zihao to Zhang Lanying to take care of.
"Yingying.. Is it Zhaochen?" Lanying said in a sad tone.
"...He's back. He can't find out about Hao're, or else I'm afraid chaos will fall. Please protect Hao'er while I'm gone. Fan Yu will get Hao're soon." Guanying turned around, ready to leave.
"Yingying.. what about Jun Cheng?" Lanying asked softly.
"..." Guanying did not reply. Then, she immediately left. Lanying sighed and looked at Zihao.
"Come, Zihao. Let Aunt take care of you for now, okay? Lanying smiled sotly at the baby.
"Guanying.. please be okay."
