Chapter 1231: I’m Not Happy At All Halfway through the banquet, Mo Yesi left with Qiao Mianmian.

He had wanted to leave after sending her a gift.

Who knew that Madam Bai liked Qiao Mianmian so much that she’d borrowed her from him so many times? He couldn’t leave even if he wanted to.

Before they left, Madam Bai and Bai Yusheng sent them off.

Madam Bai held Qiao Mianmian’s hand and repeated the same words to her a few times. “Mianmian, come and play with me when you’re free. When the time comes, I’ll cook for you.

“If Auntie misses you in the future, can I call you?”

Actually, it wasn’t that they couldn’t meet after separating.

But Madam Bai couldn’t bear to.

She wanted Qiao Mianmian to stay longer.

But she knew that it wasn’t appropriate.

Madam Bai didn’t even notice when Qiao Anxin left.

She didn’t feel any reluctance towards her.

“Aunt, of course.” Qiao Mianmian had already told Madam Bai her cell phone number and WeChat number.

“If Auntie calls you every day, will you be annoyed?”

“No.” Qiao Mianmian smiled and said gently, “Aunt, you can call me anytime you want.”

“Alright.” Madam Bai held her hand tightly.

...

Madam Bai didn’t look away until Qiao Mianmian and Mo Yesi got into the car and drove into the night.

Bai Yusheng smiled when he saw how reluctant she was. “Mom, what are you doing? It’s not like we won’t be able to see each other in the future, why are you so reluctant? If you like Mianmian, I’ll invite her to our house often to accompany you, alright?”

Madam Bai sighed, unhappy with his words.

Bai Yusheng raised an eyebrow and asked, “Mom, what’s wrong? Weren’t you happy just now? Are you unhappy because Mianmian left?”

Madam Bai looked up at him and kept quiet for a while before sighing. “Yusheng, I’ve always believed that Mianmian is Little Seven. She looks so similar to Little Seven when she was young, and they were born on the same day. Most importantly, I liked her the moment I saw her. I think this liking is the nature of a mother and daughter. Because she has the Bai family’s blood in her, even after being apart for so many years, I still want to get close to her.

“But...”

“But what?”

“But I’m not so determined now. Yusheng, I might have found Little Seven, but I’m not happy at all. I don’t even want to admit that she’s Little Seven. Do you think I shouldn’t think this way? Even if she doesn’t grow up to be what I like, if she’s really Little Seven, I shouldn’t dislike her, right?”

“Mom.” Bai Yusheng frowned. “What are you trying to say? You mean... Little Seven has been found?”

Madam Bai kept quiet for a while more and then told him everything about her bringing Qiao Anxin to change clothes and finding out that she had a red mark on her. She also told him that Qiao Anxin wasn’t the biological daughter of the Qiao family.

“The mark on her is exactly the same as the one on your sister. Also, she was given to the Qiao family by her biological parents when she was very young. Her biological parents sent her away because they wanted to protect her when she was in danger.”
