494 An Intrusion

(MC POV)

I was still trying to figure out why Mei Bian thought it was a good idea to antagonize me again with that stunt when Mother came back with a satisfied look on her face.

I was going to ask her how it went but Mother pulled me into a hug before I could do so.

"Oh my poor, poor baby, how you've suffered so much!"

"Ungff… Mo… Mother?"

She patted my head, "My sweet, there is no need for you to shoulder everything yourself. Mama is here now."

"Unnn… Did something happen with Mei Bian?"

Mother smiled at me, "Don't worry about her, my sweet, sweet son. I've taught her the error of her ways, she will not bother you again."

"What about her… Travel companions?"

"Mama will take care of them too. Does my baby boy want an ice cream?"

I grinned, "In this weather?"

"No reason not to enjoy one~ I have your favourite strawberry flavoured ones too~"

She's definitely my Mother alright.
