Early the next morning, Baili Mu arrived at Ailan Castle, but Ou Lan was still asleep because he had gone to bed too late the previous night.
Zhan Lingtao had to go to school, so he got up early, and Jia Xuan had formed a habit of getting up with her brother when he did.
So the two children also went downstairs early.
When Jia Xuan saw Baili Mu, she excitedly stretched out her little arms and threw herself into his arms. As Baili Mu smiled and picked her up, she cheerfully wriggled in his embrace, tugging hard on his ears with her little hands.
Seeing this little pink bundle again, Baili Mu was utterly delighted and kissed her little cheeks twice before asking, with a smile, "Did you miss your unc..."
Suddenly realizing that Ou Lan's identity had not yet been revealed, it was inappropriate to ask Jia Xuan to change how she addressed him, so Baili Mu quickly corrected himself, "Did you miss your godfather?"
"Uh-huh, I missed you!" Jia Xuan responded very straightforwardly.
