Chapter 266: Chapter 259: Wetting His Pants
Bai Yiran opened the door and saw the pitifully crying Xiao Lang, with a damp light yellow patch on his white pajama pants. Bai Yiran then realized Xiao Lang had a habit of getting up at night to pee. Before, he knew where the bathroom was in the orphanage, and he could find it even with his eyes closed. Now, suddenly in a new place, he couldnât find the bathroom in time, and ended up wetting himself.
"Yiranâs mother, I didnât do it on purpose..." Wetting his pants was quite a humiliation for Xiao Lang; it had been a long time since he last did that.
Yiran heartachefully hugged the child, "Itâs okay, Xiao Lang, donât cry. Letâs change your dirty pants."
Yiran took Xiao Lang back to her room, again telling him the location of the bathroom in the room, then helped him change into new pajamas.
Tear stains still clung to Xiao Langâs eyelashes, "Yiranâs mother, will you abandon me..."
Bai Yiran looked up, pinched his nose, "Why would I abandon you?"
Xiao Lang lowered his head, sobbing gently, "Because I wet my pants, will you dislike me..."
Xiao Lang clutched Bai Yiranâs hand tightly. Children who grow up in orphanages are abandoned by their parents and long for a family more than any other kids, but when they actually get one, they fear it might suddenly disappear, always being careful.
Bai Yiran patted Xiao Langâs head, her eyes full of tenderness, "Donât worry, Xiao Lang. I wonât abandon you or leave you. You are my child, how could a mother abandon her own child?"
Xiao Langâs eyes dimmed slightly, his biological mother had abandoned him...
However, seeing Bai Yiranâs loving gaze, Xiao Langâs eyes brightened, smiling as he leaped into Bai Yiranâs arms, "I want to sleep with you tonight!"
Bai Yiran hesitated, thinking of the beast-like Leng Yichen in the bedroom, but decisively agreed to Xiao Langâs request.
In the bedroom, seeing Bai Yiran not returning, Leng Yichen thought that little girl probably wouldnât be coming back tonight.
Leng Yichen had a premonition that there would be more and more nights ahead where he would be left alone guarding an empty room.
Now itâs just Xiao Lang, but in the future, they would have their own children too...
Thinking of children, Leng Yichen felt a tightness in his chest. Having Xiao Lang call him Daddy Chen was largely to please Bai Yiran, but every time he heard the child call him daddy, his heart would soften.
If, back then, Yiranâs baby was still here, they would probably be calling him daddy in a sweet voice too.
Thinking this, Leng Yichen leaned over and picked up the cigarette and lighter from the bedside table. Just as he was lighting up, he suddenly remembered Bai Yiran doesnât like the smell of smoke, so he put on a robe and went to the balcony.
On the balcony, smoke swirled. Leng Yichen picked up his phone and dialed Wang Haiâs number.
After two rings, the call connected immediately, "Boss, whatâs up?"
Even though Wang Hai had adjusted his voice before answering the call, Leng Yichen could still hear the tiredness in it. Only then did he realize it was already early morning, "Sorry for disturbing you."
With a cigarette in one hand resting on the balcony railing, Leng Yichen gazed deeply into the dark distance of the early morning, "That man named Bai Chuan, howâs your investigation going?"
Morning
Xiao Lang woke up early and immediately checked if Bai Yiran was still beside him. Upon finding she was still lying next to him asleep, the heart heâd been holding in suspense finally settled down.
Noticing the child moving, Bai Yiran woke up too, and after some playful tussling on the bed, she took Xiao Lang to wash up. When this pairâthe big and the smallâhopped downstairs ready for breakfast, Leng Yichen was already sitting there.
"Daddy Chen!" Xiao Lang cheerfully jumped over.
Leng Yichen looked up, his eyes fixated on Bai Yiran. The look in his eyes seemed to say, girl, you might have escaped the first day, but not the fifteenth!
Bai Yiran shivered slightly...
