Broken Bonds

Chapter 57

Chapter 57:

This is a pitiful, eight-month-old baby.

Due to the premature birth, his body was too weak, and even his cries were as weak as a kitten.

For this son who came to the world early, Beitang Ao failed to go to the Bamboo Garden to celebrate Li'ers' birthday.

Yan Feili got the news from Plum Courtyard the next day, and his heart was heavy. Guilt, pain, sadness, disappointment, and a hint of... jealousy.

Although knowing that at this time, it's only right for Beitang Ao to accompany his wife wholeheartedly, however, Yan Feili still couldn't restrain the various emotions in his heart.

Beitang Ao also felt at this time a daze and confusion that he had never had before.

He obviously did not expect that Yanyan, who has always been gentle and tactful, would be so stubborn about the child's mother.

He regretted why he didn't arrange a reason to lie to her.

But on one hand, he disdains such a thing, and on the other hand, Feili is still alive, so how can he bear to curse him like that.

If it wasn't for Yan Feili's special constitution to give birth to Li'er, this confrontation would never happen at this time.

But if this incident is an accident that no one can count, then it unknowingly shook his emotions later, but it was his own mistake.

However, liking someone and falling in love with someone is something humans can do!

After a few days, Lin Yanyan's body was much better.

Mrs. Nangong and some other ladies in the Sect sent supplemental medicines for her body.

The Prince of Ming Dynasty, Lin Yanyan's mother, and Beitang Ao's aunt, also sent many items from the Ming Kingdom after receiving the news.

Beitang Ao named the child Beitang Yaohui.

Lin Yanyan was very satisfied with this name.

But after hearing the name he chose for Li'er, her face changed slightly.

Beitang Ao never mentioned the matter of Li'er to her again, but asked her to concentrate on conditioning her body. According to the doctors, since Beitang Yaohui was born, her body has been weak, which made Lin Yanyan and Beitang Ao both worried.

Unconsciously, the new year passed in this chaos, and the Four Heavenly Sects returned to its previous pace.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Yan Feili left the Hall to handle some Sect affairs outside and after he was done he returned to the Bamboo Garden.

When he walked into the courtyard, he saw Beitang Ao holding Li'er and standing under the plum tree outside the study to enjoy the flowers.

In the past few days, there has been heavy snowfall. It was the same last night, and it just stopped in the early morning.

The thick snow was pressing on the plum blossom branches. Beitang Ao held Li'er's little hand guiding it to shake the lowest branch, the snowflakes fell, revealing the bright plum blossoms, and Li'er giggled with joy.

"Look! Li'er, Daddy is back." Beitang Ao saw Fei Li standing at the door and said to Li'er.

Li'er looked up, then turned around and shook the branch excitedly, showing Yan Feili what he could do.

"Sect Master."

"You're back. Is there anything wrong within the Sect? "

"No Sect Master, it's all trivial matters, which have been handled. "

Beitang Ao nodded, still holding the child to play.

Yan Feili stood aside and watched the father and son silently, only smiling lovingly when Li'er looked at him.

After a while, Beitang Ao saw that Li'er was already tired and almost falling asleep while playing, so he handed him to Cui Nu to take him down and let him take a nap, and said nonchalantly to Feili, "I have something to tell you."

The two went to the study, and Beitang Ao sat down, his eyes drooping.

Yan Feili looked away and saw that although his expression was faint, he seemed to be thinking a lot of things.

"Sect Master, what's the matter with you?" After a while, Yan Feili saw Beitang Ao remained silent, seeming to be wandering away, and finally couldn't bear it, and asked.

Beitang Ao raised his head and said, "Fei Li, after Huier's full moon in two days, I will move Li'er to Plum Courtyard."

"What!?" Yan Feili was startled. He didn't expect the separation day to come so quickly.

"Yanyan has agreed to raise Li'er and treats him as our son. She is a sensible woman and will not treat Li'er badly. It's just that although she has stopped asking me about Li'er, I knew that she was still very concerned about the child's birth, and she would definitely try to find out about this in the future." 

Beitang Ao looked at Yan Fei Li's expression, sighed softly, and said again: "Fei Li, Yanyan naturally will not be able to find out anything, so don't worry. It's just that I know you are reluctant to leave your child, but he will live in the Plum Courtyard, and you can always see him."

But this is different.

Even if it's near, it's as far away as the horizon.

Yan Feili opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but saw Beitang Ao's eyebrows were frowning, his expression was slightly tired, he had lost his former cold, arrogant and confident style, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and so he swallowed everything that he wanted to say abruptly.

After a long silence, even though his heart is in pain for his child, he gathered his emotions and as what he always did before, hid them, he whispered: "Everything...I will follow the arrangements of the Sect Master."
