Chapter 212 So, am I your mother?
Lu Lianbai quickly picked up the fallen door panel and placed it against the wall. He then stood upright, looking towards Jing Weimian and the little fish.

He looked as dignified and aloof as ever.

If you ignore the tip of his blue tail fin hidden behind him, which is still flapping violently and inexplicably.

Jing Weimian recalled the way a certain male mermaid had eagerly kissed her just now, and it was as if she could guess what it was from the slapping tip of its tail...

This guy is suppressing his emotions so intensely right now...

Jing Weimian licked her slightly dry lips.

Clearly, she herself was somewhat unsatisfied.

Just as he was wondering whether he should say something to comfort the fish, Lu Lianbai spoke in a deep, hoarse voice.

"...I'm going to make milk for the baby."

After saying that, he dragged the big fish by the tail back to the kitchen, feeling dejected.

Jing Weimian's gaze lingered on Lu Lianbai as he entered the kitchen.

It was only after the little fish gently shook the hand that was holding him that Jing Weimian came back to her senses and lowered her head.

He met the gaze of the little fish's big, watery eyes, which were staring at him expectantly.

Jing Weimian blinked as well, "Hungry?"

Jing Xiaoyu remained silent, still gazing at her as if in a dream, reminding her with extreme caution.

"You took the initiative to hug Xiaoyu."

Following the little guy's gaze, Jing Weimian glanced at the hand she was holding around him, and nodded frankly in admission, "I did hold him, so what?"

Jing Xiaoyu's lips trembled, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally couldn't hold back and stammered out:

"Don't you hate Xiaoyu anymore?"

Jing Weimian was taken aback upon hearing this.

She belatedly recalled the time she argued with Lu Lianbai in the hospital room.
-
You don't like babies, right?
Why should I like it?

and so……

Was it because the little guy overheard these conversations that he secretly ran away?

Even when the little one injured her knee before, I covered it up tightly, afraid to let her see it, looking anxious as if I was afraid she would dislike or hate me...

All of this stemmed from her cold, dismissive question to Lu Lianbai, "Why should I like him?", which caused the little one to suffer psychological trauma...

Jing Weimian felt a slight pang in her heart. She gazed at Jing Xiaoyu, whose eyes were filled with love and affection, and slowly squatted down in front of him.

Instead of calling Jing Xiaoyu by his name directly, she tried to call him in the way Lu Lianbai called a child, softly calling him for the first time: "Baby?"

Jing Xiaoyu bit her soft, pouty lips, completely stunned.

Her wide-open eyes were filled with a shallow mist of water, which fluttered gently.

Still dazed, she stared at Jing Weimian.

I don't know if I'm doubting that my fever hasn't broken, or if I'm still asleep and haven't woken up yet...

Jing Weimian looked at the little one, her voice still soft and gentle, "I want to ask the baby a question, Lu Lianbai... why did you name the baby Jing?"

Jing Xiaoyu's age corresponds exactly to the time when she lost her memory and returned to the Empire.

Therefore, after hearing the test results from Professor Xiya over the phone, Jing Weimian was almost completely certain of Jing Xiaoyu's identity...

Jing Xiaoyu clasped her little hands together, resisting the urge to turn back into her webbed hands and cuddle with her mother, and answered her softly.

"Because, because Daddy said that the baby's mother's surname is Jing."

"What a coincidence, my surname is also Jing." Jing Weimian's eyelashes trembled slightly as she spoke softly, a bittersweet feeling welling up in her chest. She gently curved her lips into a smile as she asked the little fish, "Then is your mother me?"

Jing Xiaoyu was stunned.

The tears that had been welling up in her eyes began to fall down in a steady, pattering sound.

After realizing what had happened, her eyes turned red, she turned her back to her small body, clenched her little hands, and said stubbornly in her childish voice.

"No, no, that's not true." Even now, the little guy still couldn't believe it was true, and even thought his mother was interrogating him.

So, remembering her father's words, even though she was so excited that she could hardly contain herself and was about to conjure up a little fish tail, she still bit her lip tightly.

She was completely unable to accept the fact that she was Jing Weimian's baby.

However, Jing Weimian thought that the little guy was still angry with her because of what happened before.

Jing Weimian herself felt that she had made the baby suffer a lot. She gently touched the little fish's hand and patiently explained.

"The reason I said that to Lu Lianbai that time wasn't because I really disliked the baby. It's all Lu Lianbai's fault for being dishonest and not telling me the truth..."

"At that time, I thought the baby was someone else's child... so I was a little resentful and refused to admit that I liked the baby, but it definitely didn't mean I disliked the baby."

Seeing that the little fish, whose back was to her, suddenly moved its little legs, Jing Weimian tried to pull the little fish's soft white hand again and then coaxed it.

"I didn't tell the baby, but the first time I saw the baby, I thought the baby was so cute and lovable."

The words fell.

The little fish's legs suddenly trembled.

It's shaking even more violently than before.

Jing Weimian immediately steadied the swaying little one with concern, "Baby, what's wrong?"

next second.

A tender, light blue tail fin broke free from the restrictive pajama bottoms and excitedly thrashed about on the ground with a "thud".

While Jing Weimian was still in a daze, the sweet and adorable little mermaid baby had already jumped into her arms.

The little creature, transformed into a tiny, soft webbed ring, hugged her neck, burying its face in her neck and sobbing incessantly, looking utterly aggrieved.

Jing Weimian's breath hitched slightly as she steadily cradled the baby mermaid in her arms.

Looking down, I saw tiny pinkish-blue pearls tumbling down, and I felt even more heartache as I reached out to catch them.

She was somewhat at a loss as to comfort the baby fish that was sobbing and shedding pearls in her arms, after all, she had almost no experience in this area.

Just as she was wondering whether she should take the child to the kitchen to find Lu Lianbai, Lu Lianbai happened to hear the noise and came out.

Jing Weimian looked up at him with pleading eyes and explained stiffly, "I just... couldn't help telling the baby that I'm his mother, and the baby..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lianbai was slightly taken aback. He then looked at Jing Weimian's awkward way of coaxing the child, and his blue eyes involuntarily deepened.

He paused his work, swam over, half-squatted down, and softly called to Jing Weimian.

"Baby?"

Jing Xiaoyu finally managed to lift her little head from Jing Weimian's neck, sobbing, and responded with a pout, "Mommy... Waaah..."

With the combined efforts of the two, the little guy gradually calmed down.

Jing Xiaoyu curled up in Jing Weimian's arms with her fish tail, refusing to come down even a little.

Lu Lianbai could only point towards the kitchen and say, "Shall I go and bring out the food first?"

Jing Weimian nodded slightly. "Go ahead."

As soon as Lu Lianbai went in to serve the food, the little guy who was clinging to Jing Weimian rolled his wet eyes and rubbed his hands together, eager to make a good impression on his mother.

So, reluctantly, she jumped down from her mother's arms, looked up, and said, "Mom, let me get you the bowl!"

After saying that, in order to prove that she was a super useful and super smart little mermaid baby, she also swung her little fish tail and followed her father inside to help fetch the bowl.

Jing Weimian stood up, crossed her arms, and leaned against the table, watching the mermaid father and son enter the kitchen one after the other.

She slightly curved the corners of her lips, feeling an inexplicable surge of joy.

But it was precisely at this moment that...

The doorbell rang.

Seeing that the father and son had gone into the kitchen, Jing Weimian went over to help open the door.

However, the moment the door opened, the person who came into view caused Jing Weimian's eyes to suddenly turn cold.
