Gu Ruoyun gently raised her lips and held her arms out towards the little child. She smiled and said, "What? Don't you recognize your own mother?"
Her voice was extremely gentle and caused Xiao Xun'er's little body to stiffen. Suddenly, he sobbed and threw himself at Gu Ruoyun. His soft body crashed into her embrace.
"Mother, Xun'er dearly wanted you to hug me but Mother had been ignoring Xun'er. Mother, don't ignore Xun'er anymore. When Xun'er is all grown up, I will go with you and find Father."
Gu Ruoyun was shaken and she stared at Zuo Shangchen in astonishment.
When he caught her astonished gaze, Zuo Shangchen shrugged his shoulders. "Xiao Xun'er is not like most children. His intelligence surprises even me. I sensed that he now has the IQ of an eight-year-old child so I had told him everything. Xun'er is very obedient and very thoughtful. He knows that you are preparing to save Qianbei Ye so he had not dared to disturb you."
Poor, poor Zixie. I feel for you. :( But I can't help but wonder if Gu Ruoyun would have fallen for him instead if he didn't fall asleep so much. I mean, his deep slumbers kinda opened the door for Qianbei Ye to step in. :,( Also HOW CUTE IS XIAO XUN'ER?? OMG. HE HAS SILVER HAIR!
