Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1393

Chapter 1393: Chapter 1388: Gratitude

Bai Qingyu still wore that gentle smile, saying, "I’ll listen to Big Sister..."

Bai Jinzhao pretended to be angry, stomping her foot, "Since none of you will back me up, I’ll get Kangle and Xile to support me!"

"Little niece and nephew are still babies, our Xiao Wu really knows how to pick people..." Bai Qingjue said with a laugh.

Nanny Qin came up from the stairs, smiling as she greeted everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, young miss and young master, lunch is ready, you may dine now!"

"Look at that, it’s as if Kid and A Yu had someone keeping an eye on Nanny Qin, coming right over as soon as the meal was prepared!" Mrs. Li teased with a laugh, covering her mouth with a handkerchief.

Today, with the Bai sons returning triumphantly, all the ladies of the Bai family were delighted, Second Lady Mrs. Liu was also happy, but amidst her happiness, there was also a trace of loss and anxiety.

"Mother..." Bai Jinxiu walked to Mrs. Liu’s side, supporting her gently, holding her hand, "Let’s go!"

"Second Aunt, be careful!" Bai Qingqi stood at the top of the stairs, waiting for Mrs. Liu.

Tears welled up in Mrs. Liu’s eyes as she smiled and responded, "Alright..."

The Bai family, just like any ordinary family, gathered around a round table, dispensing with formalities... chatting and laughing as they ate.

As soon as lunch was finished, Nanny Qin brought everyone some plum soup, and before they could finish drinking, Xiao Ba and Wang Geer, along with Kangle and Xile, were sent to the Bai Mansion, instantly bringing liveliness.

As soon as Little Kangle and Little Xile arrived, their uncles and aunts didn’t know how to show their affection, crowding together, each wanting a turn to hold them.

Thankfully, the little ones weren’t shy at all, blinking their shiny grape-like eyes at their uncles and aunts.

Bai Qingyu really wanted to hold his nephew and niece but feared the scars on his face would frighten the two children, so he stood with his hands behind his back, smiling at the children without moving.

Every time someone switched to hold the children, he would carefully step back two paces, afraid the children would see him and start crying.

All the uncles and aunts had their turn holding the children, giving them the gifts they had prepared, before Bai Qingyan said to Nanny Tong, "Nanny, let A Yu hold the children too."

Bai Qingyu hesitated and quickly refused, "No, I might scare the kids."

Xiao Ba and Wang Geer were older, and before coming, the nanny repeatedly reminded them not to be afraid when they saw their fifth brother, Fifth Uncle—that the scars on Bai Qingyu’s face were medals of honor for saving the people at the frontier—so the two children not only were not afraid upon seeing Bai Qingyu, but rather admired him greatly.

But Kangle and Xile... were just too young.

Even though upon first seeing the children, Bai Qingyu struggled to contain his affection, he dared not hold them, afraid of making them cry.
