Bai Yang looked at General Xiao with pleading eyes, but General Xiao was already so engrossed in coaxing Xiao Mingyu that he couldn't see Bai Yang's distress signal at all!
Left with no other choice, Bai Yang had to take out the gift she had prepared for Song Yan'er!
"This is a complete set of jewelry. I noticed you don't really like wearing those flashy pieces, so I specially picked this one. It's simple and elegant, and it suits you perfectly! It's for you!"
As he spoke, he opened a wooden box!
Song Yan'er's eyes lit up as she looked at the contents of the wooden box: This is amazing!
It's clear that Bai Yang really put in the effort!
Although Song Yan'er liked it very much, she still felt it wasn't appropriate to receive such an expensive gift.
So she immediately stood up to decline, but Bai Yang, who was already in front of Song Yan'er, pressed her down:
"Keep it, Yan'er. May I call you that? Actually, this was prepared for my daughter-in-law a long time ago, but I only took it out now because I had my own selfish reasons."
It was all my fault before, and I was terribly wrong. This time, my son went to the disaster relief site and walked around in front of the gates of the underworld. I realized that everything else is fake. Only his happiness is the most important thing!
Don't worry, I won't cause you any more trouble! After today, I've decided to go to a nearby temple to practice asceticism for a year, using this time to cleanse the impurities from my heart!
Bai Yang looked at Song Yan'er with anticipation, hoping in her heart that Song Yan'er could forgive her. After all, only if Song Yan'er forgave her would Xiao Yang forgive her. Bai Yang could see very clearly now that her son was completely on Song Yan'er's side!
Song Yan'er understood that Bai Yang actually wanted to tear open a hole in Xiao Yang's heart through her, but after thinking about Xiao Yang's thoughts, she guessed that he had never really hated Bai Yang!
Song Yan'er glanced at the old lady, and the old lady immediately understood:
"Yan'er, since your mother-in-law has said so, you can't refuse a gift from an elder, so just accept it! At worst, you can just be nicer to Xiao Yang in the future!"
Seeing that Song Yan'er was starting to soften her stance, Bai Yang immediately seized the opportunity:
"Yes, Yan'er, please accept it. If you don't, I won't be able to heal my mind properly!"
Song Yan'er...
Unfortunately, I had no choice but to accept it!
Xiao Yang looked at Bai Yang with a complicated expression. He used to have some complaints, but now he couldn't bring himself to hate her, after all, she had a tough time too!
Ever since General Xiao told him the reason why Bai Yang went to the temple to cultivate, Xiao Yang has been caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, he should forgive her directly, after all, no parent is wrong. On the other hand, he feels that he is too easy to fool. She has turned the page on all the suffering he has endured over the years with just a few words!
Fine, then I'll just follow my heart and let nature take its course! Anyway, he can't bring himself to say that he's forgiven her!
Bai Yang's emotional intelligence seems to be off the charts. She probably understands Xiao Yang's attitude very well, so she didn't ask Xiao Yang to forgive her. She just mentioned the temple where she practices and said that she could bring her children to visit it when she has free time!
This left Xiao Yang feeling uneasy and stuck in a rut!
Song Yan'er watched Xiao Yang's changing expression with amusement: This is probably because he really cares, that's why he's so conflicted!
However, Song Yan'er did not intend to do anything between the two. After all, it was better for the mother and son to resolve their own affairs. It would be better for her to interfere!
The meal passed quickly, and even as everyone reached the door, Xiao Yang still hadn't said "Have a safe trip!"
Watching the carriage disappear into the distance, General Xiao embraced Bai Yang and whispered words of comfort:
"Alright, give Xiao Yang some time, everything will be alright! I can tell he cares about you a lot!"
Bai Yang smiled and shook his head:
"I'm fine, this is already very good!"
I can only blame myself for going too far in the past. It's normal that he can't accept it right away!
...
Song Yan'er looked at Xiao Yang hesitantly, making Xiao Yang almost laugh. Unable to hold back any longer, he asked directly:
"Sister, just say what you want to say. You keep looking at me with such affection, I'm afraid I might do something beastly in this carriage!"
Song Yan'er...
This guy's skin is getting thicker and thicker!
Fortunately, Xiao Zhongming said he wanted his great-grandmother to stay with him, so the old lady went to another carriage!
However, seeing that Xiao Yang was in a bad mood, Song Yan'er decided not to argue with him!
Song Yan'er hesitated for a moment before asking:
"Did you ever hate her?"
Xiao Yang's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled:
"The word 'hate' is too heavy. Rather than hate, it's more like resentment. I feel like I'm her only son, and I should have been cherished and raised by her. Why did things turn out like this!"
Song Yan'er didn't really understand this kind of feeling. In her opinion, if it was good, you could get along with it, and if it wasn't, you should stay away. She really didn't understand what it felt like to be torn between loving and hating so much!
Xiao Yang slowly moved to Song Yan'er's side and rested his head on her shoulder:
"I knew I needed her love long ago, and I should ignore her, but when I heard she wanted to practice Buddhism with her hair still intact, I softened. Yan'er, don't you think I'm useless!"
Song Yan'er raised her hand and patted Xiao Yang's head:
"Honey, it's a little useless, but that's part of your personal charm. You're such a kind and upright person, and that's what I like about you! So, don't worry too much! Let things take their course. Isn't she going to cultivate for a year? Let's see how she behaves after that! Maybe she really will turn over a new leaf!"
Xiao Yang...
I feel like I've been comforted, but why am I not really happy?
Never mind, whatever my wife says is right!
Xiao Yang leaned on Song Yan'er's shoulder, looking at the snow-white neck in her collar. His originally gloomy mood immediately changed!
He slowly moved closer to the collar and stuck out his tongue to lick it!
"Hmm~"
Song Yan'er was still thinking about Bai Yang when Xiao Yang's sudden move made her groan!
"Sister~ Your neck is so beautiful, really, I want to bite it!"
Song Yan'er...
Do you think you're a vampire?!
However, Xiao Yang's mouth was already very close to Song Yan'er's collar, so all the breath he exhaled went down Song Yan'er's collar!
Until Song Yan'er shivered.
"Sister~ What's wrong?"
Song Yan'er rolled her eyes:
"Although it's a bit of a mood killer, I still have to remind you, we're almost home, so don't get off the carriage looking like that! I don't care, but I'm afraid you'll be too embarrassed!"
Song Yan'er glanced meaningfully at Xiao Yang's lower body!
Xiao Yang...
I have a bit of a headache. How did I get up so quickly?
