Kidnapping a Daddy as a Gift for Mommy

CHAPTER 71 + A NOTE

Note: Hello there, people. I'm glad someone is enjoying this, or at least still reading this novel. A few had messaged me and I would like to clear something here.

The update schedule is five chapters every SUNDAY. I know, some of you might be too impatient, that's maybe too slow for you. But I'm busy with my life as well, I'm graduating this year so I'm focused on my studies (well, half). In addition, I need to accumulate SP in order to open the chapters. I've only put the translation here so I can read it offline when I get a time off, and maybe share it to you guys as well. However, if you want to read more, please do not hesitate to go to Flying Lines. The original translation of the novel is in there.

PS: I'm not angry, just informing the others about the schedule so as to have them know when to wait. Anyway, here's a bonus of five chapters for tonight. Don't worry, I'm still updating tomorrow. Enjoy reading! Try not to get irritated with the characters (人 •͈ᴗ•͈)

71. I am a man.

Xia Xingcheng guessed what was going on in the teacher's mind. She said: "Since you don’t want to take me to the headmaster, I won’t say anything more. But this is not over. The kindergarten must resolve this matter regarding Bao’s injury. Otherwise, I won’t make things easy for you."

Xia Xingcheng did not want to waste time with them anymore. She picked up Bao and grabbed a taxi to the hospital.

She was afraid that the longer she waited, the more likely Bao would get a bacterial contamination.

Seeing his mommy looking at him worried, Bao hurriedly reached out his hand to caress Xia Xingcheng’s face and comforted her: "Mommy, don't be sad. I'm fine, it doesn't hurt.”

"Silly boy, mommy's good boy, you poor thing."

Xia Xingcheng could not help but embrace Bao tightly into her arms. No matter what, Bao was always the most precious thing in her life.

Arriving at the hospital, Xia Xingcheng quickly made the doctor come over to check on Bao. Looking at the scratches and the bruises covering Bao’s body, she felt hurt like someone had stuck a knife into her heart.

She couldn't help but start to blame herself. As long as the culprit was not found, she will not rest, in case Bao would be harmed in the future.

After the doctor treated Bao’s wound, Xia Xingcheng gently put him on the bed. And she knelt on the ground to blow on his bruises lovingly. "Bao, I apologize to you. I was careless. These injuries must be very painful. I will apply medicine on them gently after we get home. With the medicine, you won't be in pain anymore, okay?"

"Mommy, I’m really not in pain. As long as mommy is here, I'm happy.” Bao was blinking and looking at his mommy with his big bright eyes.

Bao was a very sensible child since his childhood. When they were abroad, sometimes Xia Xingcheng was busy till late night, Bao would even help with housework. Xia Xingcheng would feel guilty every time she thought of that.

For a while, Xia Xingcheng felt that she owed Bao too much. She didn't give him the best things, the warmth and happiness from a normal family.

Thinking of that, Xia Xingcheng could not help but get choked up. Tears were about to pour out.

She quickly turned her head and closed her eyes, so that her tears wouldn’t fall. And when she looked back at Bao again, she was back being normal.

"Mommy, let's go now. My wounds are not painful. How about this, on our way home, you can blow on them so they won’t hurt. When I fell on the ground in the past, you often did this for me.” Bao said pettishly.

Xia Xingcheng looked at her sensible son and nodded at once. "Okay, mommy will take you home now. I will blow on them when we get home."

Saying that, Xia Xingcheng was just about to pick up her son and leave, when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps. Xia Xingcheng’s eye twitched a little. She turned around, and found they were Chen Ma and Sheng Yeting. Seeing Bao was wrapped in gauze, Chen Ma immediately understood what happened. She embraced Bao right away and said heartbreakingly: "Bao, how did you get hurt? Tell me, I’ll back up for you!” Chen Ma’s eyes were getting red. She was so worried.

Xia Xingcheng let out a long heavy sigh. She too was sad and upset. She blamed herself for not taking good care of Bao.

Seeing Bao was injured, Sheng Yeting frowned involuntarily. He was staring at the wounds on Bao’s body with his eyes gloomy and his body oozing inexplicable coldness.

He walked slowly to Bao and squat down. There was a kind of unspeakable majesty in Sheng Yeting's voice: "You are a man. It doesn't hurt, right?"

"Right, it doesn't hurt. I am a man."

Seeing Bao so obedient and sensible, Sheng Yeting could not help but feel gratified.

The softness in his eyes surprised Xia Xingcheng a little. She couldn't help but wonder, was this the same Sheng Yeting she knew?

While she was in a trance, Sheng Yeting asked her in a cold voice. "What happened? How did Bao get hurt?"

Xia Xingcheng decided to answer truthfully. After all, she would not let the person who bullied her son get away with it.

"I didn't know until I got to the kindergarten. Bao was being pushed down the stairs. I asked his teacher. The teacher was unwilling to tell. After a long time, she said that there were no security cameras. But I know for a fact there are. The teacher just didn't dare to offend that powerful person. That boy’s mother is Xu Yingying. But because Bao was injured, I did not look into it and hurried Bao to the hospital instead."

After hearing this, Chen Ma was furious: "How could a young boy be so vicious? Young master, we cannot let him get away with hurting Bao!"

After knowing the whole story, Sheng Yeting squinted his eyes threateningly. They were really audacious to mess with his people!

“Okay, I know. Take Bao home now."

Sheng Yeting did not show too much expression. After taking another look at Bao, he left the hospital straight.

Xia Xingcheng was very grateful to Sheng Yeting for him to come and pick them up. She said nothing more, took Bao with her and followed Sheng Yeting out.

In the car, Bao snuggled straight into Sheng Yeting’s arms and said pettishly: "I want daddy’s hug."

Sheng Yeting had no intention to do that. But somehow, seeing Bao like this, his heart softened. Finally, he put Bao in his arms.

Feeling his daddy's warmth, Bao was so happy, even the pain from the wounds seemed to be gone.

Perhaps Bao was too frightened today, on their way home, Bao fell asleep.

Looking at Bao’s sleeping face, Xia Xingcheng felt heartbreak again. She was worried that Sheng Yeting would not like holding Bao, so she reached out to take Bao back. But after seeing Sheng Yeting holding Bao without a move, she had to withdraw her hand embarrassedly.

After returning home, Sheng Yeting put Bao on the bed and then went out. He went to his study and told his assistant to look for the security camera footage from the kindergarten.

Xia Xingcheng sat beside his son and reached out to caress his head with distress in her eyes.

Thinking of what happened today, she could not help but feel remorseful. If she hadn’t become an enemy of Xu Yingying, Bao wouldn’t get hurt, right?

Bao was too sensible. But the more sensible Bao was, the more remorseful she felt. Thinking of this, Xia Xingcheng's eyes became red and a tear fell down her cheek.

The fragile side of hers which she had concealed so well finally revealed at this moment. She couldn’t hide it anymore.
