Chapter 884 Xin’er’s Origins (2)



The Mu Stellar King naturally also saw this token, so he just gave a nod in response.

Then he said, “But do you know who Bao Bao’s father is?”

Lin Fan couldn’t help raising a brow when he heard this.

The Mu Stellar King revealed a mischievous smile when he saw this and said, “It’s me.”

This time, Lin Fan couldn’t help holding back his shock.

He had assumed the whole time that Xin’er had been the daughter of the previous Mu Stellar King and this woman, but he never expected…It was no wonder the Mu Stellar King had seemed so close to this woman just now…

On the side, Xin’er couldn’t help looking up at Angela with a confused look as she asked, “Who’s Bao Bao?”

Angela looked at her with a sad look before patting her head and saying, “You are.”

Xin’er’s eyes trembled when she heard this.

She looked at the Mu Stellar King who had just called himself her father and then looked at the woman who stood there with a heartbroken look in her eyes. After a long period of silence, she asked that woman, “Are you my mother?”

The woman’s eyes filled with a glint of hope when she heard this and she nodded, “Bao Bao, that’s right, I am your mother. Come here, Bao Bao.” As she said this, she stretched her arms out towards Xin’er.

However, even after this confirmation, Xin’er didn’t know what to do.

She had never thought that she would meet her real parents one day, she had even assumed that they had died, so she had sealed those feelings for them deep in her heart. She had found a new family, so she had decided to move on and live her life with them.

So this sudden appearance of her birth mother had completely caught her off guard.

But then she felt a hand falling onto her back.

Angela pushed her out from behind her and said, “She is indeed your mother. You should at least go and say a few words to her.” Though there was a strong unwilling tone to her voice.

The woman looked at Angela with a look of gratitude before turning to look at Xin’er, waiting for her to react.

Xin’er looked up at Angela before looking back at the woman.

Then with hesitant steps, she walked over towards the woman until she was standing right in front of her, but she didn’t enter her embrace.

Seeing this, the woman made a move to hug her. She stopped though when she saw Xin’er take a step back.

The two of them just stood there awkwardly looking at each other.

That silence was only broken when Xin’er finally asked, “Are you really my mother.”

The woman didn’t know what to say at first as she just opened and closed her mouth again and again. Then as if she came to a decision, she said, “Your name is Mu Bao Bao, your father is Mu Yong Li and your mother is Dongfang Tao Hua.”

Xin’er couldn’t help repeating after her, “Mu Bao Bao…”

Then after a long moment of silence, she looked up at the woman and said, “I can’t come to terms that you are my mother just yet, so can you wait for a bit?”

The woman looked at her with sparkling eyes that were filled with complicated emotions, but she still gave a nod in the end.

Xin’er looked at the woman with a smile and reached her hand out as she said, “Thank you.”

The woman looked at this little hand stretched out to her.

She hesitantly stretched out her own hand until she held this little hand.

As she held this little soft hand, she couldn’t help saying, “Bao Bao…”

But before she could say anything else, Xin’er said, “This name…Mu Bao Bao, it doesn’t feel like it’s mine since I’ve never known it in my life. Can you please still call me Xin’er?”

The woman’s eyes filled with more complicated emotions, but she still gave a nod in the end as she said, “Xin’er.”

Xin’er looked up at her with a smile and nodded as she said, “Un.”

Then without holding back, she pulled the woman over to where Angela was waiting and introduced the two of them.

Naturally, it was an awkward interaction because of their relationship with Xin’er, but with Xin’er there as a social glue, it didn’t take long before the ice was broken. Still, it was a bit awkward for the two women…

As for the Mu Stellar King, he had a happy look in his eyes as he looked at Dongfang Tao Hua.

He had failed her in the past and had watched her suffer because of his own mistakes. He had always felt that he had let her down in some way and had always wanted to do something to make things better.

But he had never been able to do anything until today.

Finally, he felt like had done a bit to make up for all the pain that he had caused her.

At the same time, he couldn’t help looking at Lin Fan and Angela with looks of gratitude.

If it hadn’t been for these two who had cared for and protected Bao Bao, it would be hard to imagine what had happened to her.

So he was grateful towards Lin Fan and Angela even if he didn’t know where they came from or who they really are.

As far as he was concerned, they were the ones that had saved his child and that was enough.

After standing there for a bit, the Mu Stellar King went over to the side to put on a pot of tea.

Since Dongfang Tao Hua spent most of her time in this hidden room, most of the things that she needed or wanted were in this room, including a working tea set.

He normally didn’t do things like prepare tea, but seeing the mothers and daughter together, he couldn’t bear to break them up. So since there were no servants here, it was up to him to make the tea.

Lin Fan came over and helped. When he saw the Mu Stellar King’s surprised look, he just replied with a smile, “Well I’m used to doing things like this.”

This was a good thing for the Mu Stellar King since he really didn’t know how to do something as simple as making tea. Instead, he went over to the pantry and prepared some snacks.

Once the tea was finished and the snacks were brought out, they all sat down on a sofa set.

On one sofa was Angela and Dongfang Tao Hua with Xin’er between them and on the other sofa was the Mu Stellar King and Lin Fan.

Once he finished pouring everyone’s tea, the Mu Stellar King said, “I’m sure that you’re all curious about what happened to Xin’er and why she ended up in the slum city.”

Lin Fan and Angela both gave nods to this as Xin’er looked at the Mu Stellar King with wide curious eyes.

The Mu Stellar King took a sip of his tea before saying, “It’s a long story…”

The story between the Mu Stellar King and Dongfang Tao Hua really was complicated.

They met when they were younger when Dongfang Tao Hua ran away from home. She had encountered the then second prince who had been on his journey and had forcefully added herself to his party.

But over time, the two of them fell in love as they journeyed together and by the end of the second prince’s journey, they were completely a couple that couldn’t be separated.

So even if Dongfang Tao Hua wasn’t willing to come back, she still came back to the Mu Stellar Kingdom with the second prince.

He was planning on bringing her to meet his family and getting engaged to her.𝑂𝓋𝗅𝒩xt.𝗇𝓔t

What he didn’t know was that this was the start of their disaster.

Dongfang Tao Hua was known as the most beautiful woman in the capital, that was why she had run away in the first place. The Dongfang Family had planned on using her in a political marriage and she didn’t want to be controlled by them.

Lin Fan couldn’t help admitting that she was indeed beautiful.

She was almost as beautiful as Angela and that was a very large compliment since Angela was the most beautiful woman that he had ever seen.

The only reason that she had returned was because she was with the second prince.

The second prince had told her that he would have the royal family engage them. As long as there was this engagement in place, there wouldn’t be anyone that would be able to tear them apart.

At the same time, the Dongfang Family would be happy since they would have a connection with the royal family and the second prince. There wasn’t a better connection for them to build at the time since the second prince was already very likely to become the crown prince at the time with how the former Mu Stellar King relied on him.

But no one expected that the Mu Stellar King would fall in love with Dongfang Tao Hua.

He had long heard about the most beautiful woman in the capital, but she had disappeared before he could find her. Since she was gone, he had forgotten about her and had moved on to other women.

With how many princes and princesses there were, it was clear that the former Mu Stellar King was a womanizer and he wasn’t a normal one. He took every beauty that he desired and no one dared to do anything since he was the king.

When the second prince brought Dongfang Tao Hua into the palace to meet his father, the former Mu Stellar King had fallen in love with her at first sight. He knew at that moment that he had to have her, even if she was the second prince’s woman.

They did their best to resist, but the second prince couldn’t resist the former Mu Stellar King at that time and Dongfang Tao Hua was taken from him.

But then there was another variable.

Dongfang Tao Hua had become pregnant.

During the course of their journey, as their relationship became closer and closer, naturally the second prince and Dongfang Tao Hua had already slept together. It was only when they came back that they discovered that Dongfang Tao Hua was pregnant.

The Mu Stellar King flew into a rage and ordered the child to be killed. He still wanted Dongfang Tao Hua even though she had been defiled, that was how much her beauty had affected him.

It took everything that the second prince could do to get Dongfang Tao Hua out of the palace and into this hidden room. At the same time, he secretly helped her give birth and then had to send the child away to the slum city to hide her.

That was how Duanmu Hua Yu and the child known as Min’er appeared in the slum city.
