Lu Beichen got up and lay down, then the two faced each other, reaching out an arm to let her rest in his embrace.
"Your father was so anxious when he brought you here yesterday, saying you shouldn't be upset!" he asked gently in her ear. "What exactly happened?"
Ji Niandong snuggled a bit in his arms with her eyes closed, "Little Uncle, do you know why I was looking for Tong Lu?"
"Hmm. Why?" Lu Beichen listened patiently.
"She is my biological mother, but she abandoned me!" Her voice trembled faintly as she said this.
Lu Beichen responded lightly, "It's okay, you still have me, you still have Nian Nian, you still have us!"
"Hm!" Ji Niandong hugged him a bit tighter, "Having you all is so good! Little Uncle, if I hadn't met you, I would probably… have nothing! But now, what does it matter if she abandoned me, I still have you all!"
"Hm, you still have us!" Lu Beichen rested his head on hers, gently patting her back.
