BXBX NOVEL Chapter 419 - 419 "Whose Child Is This?"
Luo Lixi couldn\'t bear the warm hug of her father as she felt very embarrassed and began to twist in his arms. Luo Baiyun sighed as he thought, \'Here we go. Little ancestor is starting her daily routine to torment us…\'
But contrary to her behaviour which was to wriggle and squirm in the bed like a dying worm, Luo Lixi sat up and then made a lotus position on the bed.
Afterwards, she glanced at her mother and finally noticed the huge bulging belly. Because the woman was wearing a silk nightgown, it looked like a round football attached to her belly.
Even though she wanted to jump in her mother\'s embrace and cuddle with her, Luo Lixi asked with hesitation, which looked very cute in Sun Xumei\'s eyes, "Mother… Ma, are you pregnant?"
"Ah? Where did you learn that word, baby? Also, didn\'t I tell you, your little brother or sister is inside Ma\'s tummy?" Sun Xumei explained with a doting expression while inside, she was cursing, \'Damn it! She shouldn\'t have known the word \'pregnant\'. Where did she learn it?!\'
To Sun Xumei, it was the utmost important matter to protect her daughter\'s innocent worldview at any cost who was only at the tender age of nearing two.
Luo Lixi frowned and blurted out without thinking too much, "Whose child is this?!"
"..." Sun Xumei turned silent at her question.
"..." Luo Baiyun felt awkward when such a serious question left his little daughter\'s lips.
The parents exchanged glances among themselves. Then, they turned to look at Luo Lixi simultaneously. Luo Baiyun lifted her up and turned her to face him.
Unlike his earlier calm face, the man had a stern expression as he asked gravely, "Tell me honestly. Has someone said something to you?"
"Ah, No…" Luo Lixi frowned as she replied in her crisp baby voice. Her face turned pink as she looked down and saw her father holding her waist.
"Then, why are you asking? Also, what kind of question is that?! The baby in your Mother\'s belly is my child, your little sibling. What got into you?!" Luo Baiyun spoke out in confusion as he glanced at Luo Lixi.
Luo Lixi was startled when she saw his grave face. Looking at her stunned little face, Sun Xumei smiled and took her from his grips.
"Look at you. She is a child. How can you interrogate her like your workers?!" Sun Xumei chidded him as she put Luo Lixi on her thigh.
Suddenly, Luo Lixi became extremely lost. She glanced at them and asked in hesitation, "Ma, Baba, is it heaven? We are in heaven, right?"
Both parents fell silent again. Sun Xumei lifted her hand and patted her head as she asked curiously, "Why? Does my baby want to go to heaven?"
"…" Luo Lixi glanced at her mother and then the bulging belly. While staring at the huge tummy, she asked, "Ma?"
"Hmm?" Sun Xumei responded as she rubbed Luo Lixi\'s head slowly.
"How old am I?"
"Nearly two… Ah, how would you know what is Two? You are yet to start learning." Sun Xumei replied as she shifted her hand on Luo Lixi\'s forehead and pondered, \'Is she sick? Why is talking like an adult?\'
Right, how can a baby barely of age two be fluent with her words? And moreover, the choice of words! As if she had been born with all the capability an adult possessed!
All Sun Xumei could think of was murdering the person who was responsible for coaxing her with all this stuff beyond her age!
Right after hearing it, Luo Lixi nodded and stood up on the bed. Looking at her little frame, she was at a loss again. When she glanced around, her sight fell on the huge mirror which was part of Sun Xumei\'s dressing table.
"Ah, Xixi, where are you going?" Luo Baiyun asked as he saw her rushing to the edge of the bed and slipping down. Next, Luo Lixi went to the dressing table and climbed up the stool placed in front of it.
Luo Baiyun turned to Sun Xumei and said, "You rest. I will take care of her."
"Alright." Sun Xumei nodded as she glanced at Luo Lixi with concern and laid down on the bed.
Luo Baiyun left the bed and started to walk towards Luo Lixi. On the other hand, Luo Lixi stared at the mirror as she became stupified. She rotated and checked her body from left to right, from up to bottom. Afterwards, she lifted her hand and bit on her pinky hard.
"Ouch!" Luo Lixi cried out as she thought, \'It hurts for real… Did I really come back in time? It seems so unreal…\'
While thinking, Luo Lixi bit her fingers, then pinched her cheeks. But even then, she couldn\'t get her head on the thing that she had travelled back in time. Luo Baiyun stood at one corner and saw all of her acts in silence.
At one point, Luo Lixi lifted her dress and saw her little tummy. She rubbed it gently and thought in a glee, \'Great! I am small now. I can start dieting from now on and get a sexy figure in the future!"
Luo Lixi ungribbed her dress and then patted her chest with her little hands while thinking, \'I have to eat food with natural estrogen. I want big boobies…\'
As this thought crossed her mind, she hastily hid her face and giggled with a blush.
"…" The more Luo Baiyun saw her acting like this, the more his face darkened. Especially, when she patted her chest and giggled, his face dropped.
The man went beside Luo Lixi and asked with difficulty, "Baby, did… something happen to you? Or, did someone touch the baby here?!"
Luo Baiyun pointed at her chest and asked with worry. All kinds of scenes of his daughter getting taken advantage of by some weird maids played in his mind and he couldn\'t help but get very angry.
"Ah, touch me?… here?" Luo Lixi whispered in puzzlement as she saw where he was pointing. Finally, she realised what he meant and frantically shook her head, "No! No! No one touched me!"
"Really?" Luo Baiyun pressed on as he moved towards her and eyed her suspiciously.
"Really!" Luo Lixi lifted her head and tried to sound as normal as possible.
Boom!
A loud thunder rang out at that moment and this time, suddenly, the light went away from the whole villa. Luo Baiyun hurriedly grabbed Luo Lixi tightly and patted her back, "Don\'t be scared. Baba is here."
Getting embraced again and being wrapped up so tightly, Luo Lixi blushed heavily. She responded like a cat\'s whisper and hugged back her father. "Okay~"
Never ever, Luo Lixi thought she would feel her Father\'s warm embrace again. She couldn\'t explain the things she was feeling.
A part of her wanting this to end so that she could return back to her Ruming while the other part afraid to do so, she finally got to see them again and to return back to the world without them was hard.
The man didn\'t find anything wrong and was relieved that his daughter didn\'t get molested by anyone. But even then her earlier actions were too much for his image of a cute innocent baby.
Luo Baiyun decided that tomorrow morning, he would interrogate and if needed, change the maids and her nanny even if Luo Lixi protested to fire the nanny.
The butler and maids came out from their rooms when the electricity went away. Two maids came outside of the master bedroom and knocked softly, as if they were worried that they would disturb the couple if they were sleeping.
"Why did the electricity go off?" Luo Baiyun asked as he sat on the bed and worriedly glanced outside. It\'s been pouring since morning and he was worrying that it would cause flooding in the city.
"Young Master, we don\'t know yet. The guards have gone to check." One maid spoke out beside the door.
"Alright. Come in and light some candles." Luo Baiyun said as he hugged Luo Lixi from front and whispered, "It\'s already past midnight. You should sleep."
"Mmm." Even though Luo Lixi said that, how could she sleep so easily? Nonetheless, she hugged her father and closed her eyes. For some reason, some memories were blurry in her mind space.
Whenever she tried to think about what had happened after she got burned to death in that fire, nothing came to mind except a dull pain. Thus, she stopped thinking about that and focused on enjoying her father\'s embrace.
Then, the door opened and two maids entered the room with lamps. They began to put many candles on the candle stands and the dark room instantly turned bright. Luo Lixi glanced at the two maids and found them unfamiliar.
After the women were done, they left the room and closed the door. Luo Lixi was laid in the middle of the bed again and hugged by her father as the man covered both of them with a blanket. He patted Luo Lixi\'s back so that she could sleep.
