Chapter 1864: From Now On, You Are Also a Person With a Mother

As soon as the other party said those words, Xie Wanyi's body tensed up.

The others also wore expressions of great surprise.

They were surprised because no one had been mentally prepared.

However, very quickly, everyone felt that everything had been traceable.

The care Liu Xin'ai had shown Xie Wanyi was just too much like a mother looking after her son.

Qin Yiyan had also grown to appreciate Xie Wanyi more and more through their interactions.

If Xie Wanyi could agree, then this would truly be a happy event for everyone.

It was just that he didn't know...

What Xie Wanyi's intentions were.

Jiang Baobao looked at Xie Wanyi and asked tentatively, "Wanyi, what do you think?"

Xie Wanyi was far too surprised.

He had never thought that one day, he would be a person with parents...

At this moment, hearing Jiang Baobao's question, he raised his eyes.

Then he asked, "Uncle, Auntie, do you know the meaning of being parents? It's not just a simple kinship; it involves emotional bonds."

Liu Xin'ai was stunned for a moment.

Afterward, she lowered her gaze and said, "I have no experience in being a mother, and I know that without a blood connection, it's impossible to suddenly have a deep mother-son bond. You are also grown up and don't need us to do anything for you, so emotional bonds might be dispensable to you..."

The more Liu Xin'ai spoke, the less confident she became.

She began to regret it.

She felt she shouldn't have been so abrupt.

After a moment of silence, Liu Xin'ai smiled at Xie Wanyi.

Then she said, "Thinking about it, I was still selfish; to fulfill a dream of being a mother, I actually set my sights on you. I'm sorry."

After saying this, Liu Xin'ai lowered her gaze again, looking very dejected.

Qin Yiyan stroked his wife's shoulder and patted it, giving her silent comfort.

Then he added on his wife's behalf, "Your aunt also wants to give you unconditional love in a legitimate way, but we were a bit clumsy in how we expressed it; please don't mind."

The two people's apologies caused the atmosphere at the scene to suddenly become very heavy.

For a time, no one spoke again.

But Xie Wanyi was a bit bewildered.

He asked, "Why are you two apologizing? I didn't say I didn't agree."

Not disagreeing?

Doesn't that mean...

Liu Xin'ai immediately looked up, her eyes flashing with surprise and astonishment.

Xie Wanyi scratched his head.

He said a bit bashfully, "Aunt Xin'ai is truly a very gentle person. When she took care of me, I even had hallucinations, as if I also had a mother... I felt this was just my own wishful thinking, so I never mentioned it to anyone."

Jiang Motian could testify to that.

She didn't even know her own boyfriend had such thoughts!

If she had known earlier...

She would have helped bridge the gap long ago!

Would there have been any need for this false alarm here?

Jiang Motian felt her emotions rising and falling.

But now, she knew Xie Wanyi's choice.

Jiang Motian turned her head to look at Xie Wanyi, appearing to support him.

Xie Wanyi breathed lightly.

Afterward, he smiled at Liu Xin'ai: "I am very happy that you can be my mother."

This sentence made Liu Xin'ai's eyes turn red instantly.

Her emotions were very stirred.

But a thousand words all turned into one sentence: "From now on, you are also a person with a mother."

Xie Wanyi didn't speak; he just curled his lips, smiling shyly.

Before this, Jiang Motian felt that the word "shy" absolutely had nothing to do with Xie Wanyi.

But at this moment...

Xie Wanyi seemed like a child who had found the way home.

A bit at a loss, a bit embarrassed, and a bit expectant of others' praise.

Such an expression made those who understood Xie Wanyi feel very heartbroken.

Jiang Motian was not just heartbroken, but also felt a pang of sorrow.

She had seen Xie Wanyi look at others with envy as they enjoyed family reunions.

She also knew that Xie Wanyi had regrets in his heart.

That regret was something even Jiang Motian could not make up for.

But now...

Everything was complete!

Jiang Motian was somewhat emotionally stirred, and her eyes were red.

Jiang Baobao was the same.

She wiped the corner of her eye and urged, "Wanyi, hurry and change how you address us!"

Liu Xin'ai was very much looking forward to this child calling her "Mom."

It was just that...

Liu Xin'ai's expression suddenly changed, and then she said with annoyance, "I came in such a rush today that I forgot to bring the gift for the change of address!"

As she spoke, she looked at Qin Yiyan with reproach: "Why didn't you remind me!"

"I... I was just busy and forgot."

"Sigh!"

Liu Xin'ai was very annoyed.

Qin Yiyan felt very innocent.

But both of them were thinking about whether they should have someone rush over the gift they had prepared at home right now.

But just at this moment...

"Mom."

Xie Wanyi's voice was not very loud.

Yet it reached the ears of Liu Xin'ai and Qin Yiyan clearly.

Both of them were stunned.

The next instant, a touch of pleasant surprise slowly rippled across their faces.

This scene today was truly heartwarming.

Jiang Motian watched, pursing her lips.

Afterwards, she thought of a question: after she and Xie Wanyi were married, what would she call Aunt Xin'ai then, mother-in-law?

Hmm...

That was a bit embarrassing!

Jiang Motian was letting her imagination run wild.

Meanwhile, Wei Yangyang had already snuck away.

She was someone with an extremely low threshold for tears.

Just that scene from a moment ago had moved her terribly, and the tears simply wouldn't stop.

Today was a joyous occasion for both families.

It wouldn't be good for Wei Yangyang to cry too hard, so she took advantage of no one paying attention to come to the garden alone to calm down.

And incidentally, to let her slightly swollen eyes recover as quickly as possible.

But just as Wei Yangyang was fanning her eyes, someone walked over from behind.

Then came a familiar, cold voice: "Can things happening to other people also make you shed tears?"

That voice made Wei Yangyang's spine stiffen involuntarily.

She didn't turn her head, just saying flatly, "I'm moved."

"Then your emotions are quite rich."

Whether my emotions are rich or not, what does that have to do with you!

Wei Yangyang retorted fiercely in her mind.

Of course, she didn't have the guts to say it out loud, just grumbling silently in her heart.

But Li Xingyan suddenly walked to Wei Yangyang's side like a ghost and asked eerily, "What are you saying about me in your heart?"

Wei Yangyang turned her body slightly and asked back first, "Can you read minds?"

"Of course not."

"Then I'm praising you."

Wei Yangyang's words made Li Xingyan narrow his eyes.

He hummed lightly: "Your guts are getting bigger and bigger."

At this moment, if Wei Yangyang had looked up, she would have discovered that although Li Xingyan's voice was cold, there was no intention of blame in his eyes.

Unfortunately, Wei Yangyang did not look at Li Xingyan.

Her attitude while speaking was quite perfunctory: "No, no, it's the same as always."

"But in the past, you didn't have the guts to tease me."

"I don't dare to now, either."

"No? Then what were you doing just now?"

"Just... chatting."

"Then look into my eyes and chat."

Wei Yangyang also really wanted to look up and look into the other person's eyes.

But...

Wei Yangyang was a little afraid.

Right then, she just found a random excuse: "I'll be shy."

This excuse drew a scoff from Li Xingyan.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy, as if an invisible pressure was pressing down on everyone's hearts.
