He wanted to spare her the nasty surprise.
But he was too late, Xinghe had already reached the ballroom's entrance. More than a few people had seen her.
Right then, an idea came into Xi Lin's mind. He rushed forward to grab at Xinghe's palm.
A surprised Xinghe looked down from the sudden touch, and a pair of similarly-shaped eyes met!
This was to be their first meeting after the separation three years ago.
It was also in Xi Lin's memory, the first time he had seen his mom.
The first time he and Xia Xinghe met after he was all grown up…
However, the mother-and-son bond is something so innate that Xinghe was able to recognize him with just one look.
She stared at her son who was holding her hand with absolute wonder and tears started glistening around her eyes.
Her calm composure was shaken.
She didn't and couldn't expect this would be how it went down. A boy would rush to take her hand and it would happen to be Lin Lin.
