Chapter 471: Little bun calls Qin Yan mommy!

Grandfather Xi did not conceal his words of praise for Qin Mufeng and said with satisfaction, "Not bad. You’re not arrogant or rash. You should take things step by step and accumulate experience slowly so that you can continue to mature and gain experience. You shouldn’t be arrogant and complacent. That will cause you to fail miserably. Plus, don’t be too greedy."

Qin Mufeng immediately replied, "Yes, Grandfather Xi, I understand. I will definitely keep your advice in my mind. And in the future, if I encounter any problems in the company, I will definitely ask brother-in-law for advice."

Grandfather Xi smiled and said, "Alright!"

Qin Yan had been busy with her make-up and dress for the whole day. As a result, she had not taken in any food. When things slowed and she stood about idly, she felt a pang of hunger. As soon as her stomach growled, a plate of snacks appeared in front of her.

With a sweet and thoughtful gesture that melted Qin Yan’s heart, the little bun held a plate in front of Qin Yan. His eyes sparkled with warmth as he offered her the plate, his voice sweet and full of concern.

"Auntie Yan, I brought you some snacks. You have been busy in getting ready for the banquet and thus I felt that you might be hungry."

Qin Yan’s heart swelled with gratitude as she looked at the plate filled with bite-sized treats that were easy to eat. There were delicate dumplings, miniature spring rolls, and sweet pastries, all arranged with care and consideration.

"My darling is the most thoughtful. Thank you for your care, baby," Qin Yan smiled warmly at the little guy.

Xi Xiaobao’s face lit up with a shy but proud smile, happy to have been able to take care of his Auntie Yan even in this small way.

He blushed shyly, "I wanted to make sure you don’t go hungry, Auntie Yan."

With the grace of a little gentleman, he offered her the plate, and Qin Yan happily accepted. As she savored the delicious morsels, she couldn’t help but marvel at the love and care provided to her by the little one.

As Qin Yan enjoyed the snacks, Grandma Xi approached her table with a gentle smile. She had been observing the interaction between the two and had something important to say.

Grandma Xi called the little bun warmly, "Bao Bao, my dear, come here."

The little guy, still clutching the empty plate, turned to face his great-grandmother, his eyes filled with curiosity.

He went near Old Madam Xi innocently, "Yes, Great-Grandma?"

Old Madam Xi’s heart melted seeing her innocent great-grandson. She said affectionately, "From now on, you know, you can call Qin Yan ’Mommy.’ Even though your daddy and Qin Yan aren’t married just yet, getting engaged is a special commitment, like being half married."

The little bun’s eyes widened with surprise and delight at his great-grandmother’s words. The significance of what Grandma Xi had just said slowly sank in. The little guy wanted to call Qin Yan mommy from a long time, but he understood that till the elders allowed him, he could not call Qin Yan mommy. He had been waiting for this moment and now that this moment arrived, he didn’t understand how to react.

The little one looked at Qin Yan, his heart filled with affection and trust.

He asked happily, "Mommy? Really?"

Qin Yan’s eyes suddenly flew wide open and she stared hard at the little bun. Did she just hear him call her mommy? She had never thought that she would receive double happiness on a single day. When Qin Yan realized that she was not dreaming, she picked up the little guy and hugged him tightly in her arms.

My darling called me Mommy...

My baby actually called me Mommy!

Oh my God! I’m really about to die from happiness!

Qin Yan did not like children very much. However, she had a different kind of affinity with the little bun. Although she knew that she would become Xi Ting’s wife eventually, she was not sure that she could become the little guy’s mother as well. After all, she was not his biological mother. What if his biological mother returned someday? Wouldn’t she take her little guy away from her?

Even the thought of the little bun being separated from her was heart-wrenching. So, to not be disappointed in the future, Qin Yan’s heart had subconsciously agreed to the status quo. She had come to terms with the fact that she would always be the little guy’s Auntie Yan. Somewhere in her heart, she also resisted the thought of becoming his mother.

However, when her ears had clearly heard the little bun call her "Mommy", it felt like her chest was hit hard by something, making her breath getting caught in her throat. Warmth flooded from her heart to every inch of her body. There was an indescribable, magical feeling...

She hugged the little bun tightly and actually felt that her intimacy with this child was as a matter of bones and blood as if they had never separated, that they were originally one...

Her eyes brimmed with tears of joy, her voice trembling with emotion as she replied, unable to contain her happiness, "Yes, darling, really. I would be honored to be your mommy."

The little bun’s face lit up with a radiant smile, and his eyes glistened with unspoken emotions. He threw his arms around Qin Yan, hugging her tightly, his small frame trembling with the depth of his feelings.

The little one whispered softly, "I love you, Mommy."

Qin Yan, overwhelmed by the intensity of her emotions and the pure love in her baby’s words, hugged him back just as tightly, tears of joy streaming down her cheeks, "I love you too, sweetie."

Qin Mufeng, who had been observing the heartwarming interaction between the little one and Qin Yan, felt a sense of reassurance wash over him. Any lingering worries or concerns he had about their relationship were completely dispelled by the genuine affection and connection he had witnessed.

When he saw that the mother-son duo had calmed down, with a warm smile, he turned to Qin Yan and gently said, "Yan Yan, would you mind introducing me to our young gentleman here? I’d love to get to know my nephew."

Qin Yan, her eyes still shimmering with the emotions of the moment, nodded enthusiastically. She gestured to the little bun, who had loosened his embrace but was still holding onto her hand, and said, "Of course, Brother."

She then looked at the little guy and said, "Darling, this is my older brother, Qin Mufeng. He will be your uncle from now on."

Xi Xiaobao, with his innocent and friendly demeanor, looked up at Qin Mufeng with a warm smile. He extended a small hand towards Qin Mufeng in a gesture of greeting, "Hello, Uncle Mufeng. It’s nice to meet you."

Qin Mufeng, touched by the young boy’s politeness and openness, knelt down to meet Xi Xiaobao at eye level. He shook the small hand with a genuine warmth that mirrored the love and acceptance he had witnessed within the Xi family, "Hello, Xiaobao. It’s a pleasure to meet you too."

It was the first time that Qin Mufeng had officially met the little bun. Even though he was Xi Ting’s child with another woman and his sister’s to-be-stepson, he did not feel estranged from the little guy. Instead, he felt that the little one was extremely cute and smart. Qin Mufeng had instantly developed a liking towards the little bun.

On the other hand, the little bun was also judging Qin Mufeng. Unlike most of the children, the little bun could logically figure out if the person was good or bad. The little guy was just like a little adult. When he saw Qin Mufeng’s clear eyes, he knew that this uncle would not harm his mommy. Thus, his attitude towards Qin Mufeng did not change and he wholeheartedly accepted a new relation in his life, which was his maternal uncle.

The engagement party soon come to an end. Qin Yan let out a breath and yawned.

"Are you tired?" Xi Ting gently rubbed her waist with his big palm.

"Uh huh..."

Qin Yan pouted and acted coquettishly, "I haven’t rested all day, I feel like my waist is going to break!"

"It’s my fault, I’ve made my Yan Yan tired. Go and get some rest later, okay?"

Most of the guests had left. They must have been very satisfied with the night. The Xis did not easily entertain guests. To be able to enter Xi Ting’s house in one’s lifetime was considered to be a success.

After sending off everyone, Qin Yan and Xi Ting retreated to the privacy of their room. The night had been a whirlwind of emotions and celebrations, and now, in the peaceful sanctuary of their shared space, they had a rare moment of quiet to themselves before surrendering to sleep.
