Chapter 758 The Past of the Older Generation

Bai Jingshu had been driving for the entire morning, and as fatigue set in, he leaned against An Xia's shoulder.

An Xia pushed him gently and whispered, "If you're tired, go to sleep. Don't lean on me. Your mom is watching..."

However, Bai Jingshu seemed to have completely ignored what she said and stretched out his long legs. Lying down, he rested his head on her lap and fell asleep.

Luo Qingying somehow found a blanket from somewhere and handed it to An Xia.

An Xia accepted it embarrassedly and covered Bai Jingshu with it.

Not long after, Bai Jingshu's breathing became steady.

An Xia looked up and smiled awkwardly at Lu Qingying.

What should I do? It's my first time meeting my mother-in-law, and here I am showing affection in front of her…

Will she think I'm not reserved enough?

Attempting to please Luo Qingying, An Xia picked up her teacup and took a sip. "Madam, you look very young."

While it was meant to be a compliment, it was genuinely true that Luo Qingying appeared younger than her actual age.

Lu Qingying smiled at the comment and said, "When I was eighteen, I married Bai Mingxu. Our marriage was arranged by our parents, and we had been engaged since childhood. Naturally, we got married when we grew up, and the next year, I gave birth to Yunan."

An Xia felt uneasy as she knew where the conversation was heading.

"I thought I would spend my whole life with Bai Mingxu." Lu Qingying expressed with a hint of sentimentality in her voice.

"But in our tenth year of marriage, I found out that he had a deeply loved ex-girlfriend and a son who was only a year younger than Jingshu and a year older than Yunan."


An Xia lifted her teacup to take a sip, but Lu Qingying took it away first.

She looked at An Xia and said, "This tea has gone cold. Let me refill you a hot one."

Then, she poured out the cold tea and replenished An Xia's cup with a fresh, steaming brew.

As An Xia savored the warmth of the tea, she couldn't help but feel a little calmer.

She couldn't imagine the challenges Lu Qingying must have faced during those times.

In the past, women had less independence compared to today's standards.

Lu Qingying had probably been a very obedient and well-behaved girl when she was young. She entered into a marriage arranged since childhood, expecting it to be a lifelong commitment. However, an unexpected revelation tore through her world, bringing in a storm of turmoil.

The stable and peaceful curtain of her life was lifted, revealing the true hardships she had endured.

A prestigious family like the Bai family, with military and political backgrounds, would definitely not easily allow them to divorce. An Xia understood that Lu Qingying must have endured numerous hardships to achieve the enviable life she had today.

True happiness didn't come without effort, and every gain required sacrifices.

Lu Qingying's expression softened as she apologized, "I'm sorry for talking to you about the past of the older generation on our first meeting."

An Xia shook her head. "Thank you for sharing these with me."

Lu Qingying didn't delve further into those matters but offered a brief glimpse into her past experiences.

In the end, she looked at An Xia earnestly and said, "Jingshu is the youngest child of the Bai family, but he receives the least love and attention. Yunan, as the next successor of the Bai family, naturally gets all the attention. Bai Mingxu has always cared for his second son, who was born to a woman he deeply loved. Therefore, Jingshu, being the youngest, was hardly cared for, which is why he used to be so wayward."

An Xia was slightly taken aback and responded, "But he has you, and you still care about him."

Lu Qingying gently sighed, "Although I am still his mother, I am no longer Mrs. Bai. While I can still care for him and love him, my power is limited..."

Pausing for a moment, she lovingly gazed at Bai Jingshu and continued, "But now, he has you. You will become the closest person to him, and you will be together for a lifetime. He will never be lonely again."

An Xia was deeply touched and didn't know what to say, so she simply nodded.

She lowered her head and reached out to touch Bai Jingshu's head.

Being born into a prominent family didn't necessarily guarantee happiness.

The absence of family affection could leave an unfilled void in one's heart.

An Xia had never expected to marry Bai Jingshu and create a happy family with him.

There might be challenges and disagreements along the way, but she knew that they would at least have a warm and caring home where they wholeheartedly protected each other.

...

Bai Jingshu slept soundly during his nap.

When he finally woke up, the tea room was empty, and evening had descended outside.

A calming incense was burning on the tea table, and the room was filled with a pleasant fragrance.

The heating inside the room was on full blast. Bai Jingshu uncovered the blanket, wiping the fine sweat off his forehead before getting up and walking outside.
