After they arrived home, Yun Bixue sat together with the boy on the sofa. She narrated different stories for him, about how a mother bird fed her young, and many other stories about a mother's love.

After Yun Bixue found out that the boy was called Hao'er, she called him using his name frequently.

The child liked Yun Bixue a lot, sticking to her closely as he chimed 'Auntie.' Sitting together, they looked like a pair of mother and son.

Although Xie Limo's possessive self was unhappy with another person sticking so close to Yun Bixue, he did not disturb her because she looked happy.

Xie Limo knew that this child was Majesty Huang's son.

That was why he could rest assured with this child getting close to Yun Bixue. Perhaps one of his selfish desires was for the two of them to get close so that in the future, Yun Bixue would have another layer of protection in the imperial capital.

But despite those thoughts, he would not use the child. It was a good thing that the child was taking the initiative to get closer to Yun Bixue, but if the child refused, he would not force it as well.

"Hao'er, this is an animal fairy tale. I will read it together with you."

As she said that, she flipped through the book that contained a lot of animals. "Look, for the sake of the baby rabbit, mother rabbit is going out to find food, right? She's not afraid of the dangers even if she meets the big bad wolf. When a mother loves her child, she would not fear any danger. Your mother loves you as well, so maybe she left to search for nice things for you… And there's this kitten too. It has searched for its mother for a very long time. When she finally reunited with her, her mother shed tears of joy…"

The boy stopped crying, and his mood lifted up. "Auntie, I understand. I understand now. My mother loves me. It's just that I've yet to find her. I will be strong and find her when I grow up."

Yun Bixue caressed the child on his head. "Yes. Hao'er is really smart. Since you are so cute and smart and strong, everyone likes you. Even Auntie who is not your mother likes you a lot, so don't listen to the nonsense said by the other kids."

Xiajun Zihao nodded his head vigorously. "Auntie, I understand. I won't listen to their words. I love my parents. I won't cry, so they won't get upset."

"What an obedient child."

Yun Bixue and Xiajun Zihao were chatting so happily. The thought that this was someone else's child, that he would eventually have to leave, was unbearable for her.

Within a short period of time, she had already felt that she was exceptionally connected to this child.

Later, Xie Limo personally made rice balls and served it on the table. "It's time for dinner. We should eat rice balls during the Lantern Festival to celebrate the gathering of a family."

Yun Bixue pulled Xiajun Zihao along. "Let's go and eat some rice balls."

Xiajun Zihao hopped happily. Xie Limo said in a warm voice, "Hao'er, there is a little brother in your Auntie's stomach, so you have to be a little careful. Don't cause your Auntie to fall."

Xiajun Zihao immediately stopped jumping and walked carefully. "Auntie, walk slowly. I will help you."

This child's words caused Yun Bixue's face to light up in joy.

"Auntie, why is it a younger brother and not a younger sister?"

Yun Bixue paused. Actually, she had no idea either. "It could be either a boy or a girl. Does Hao'er not like a younger brother?"

"I do like them, but I like younger sisters more because I will take care and protect her."

Yun Bixue chuckled. "A younger brother is great as well since he can play with you and listen to you. You can protect a younger brother as well."

Hearing that, Xiajun Zihao's eyes twinkled. "Yep, yep! I like younger brothers as well."
