Four years passed, Xia iren beca a famous pianist and composer in London. She hired a caretaker to babysit her son, Little lon, while he was small and whenever she was away.
But ever since Little lon can walk and speak his thoughts, Xia iren started bringing him to her concerts and the parties that she was invited in. Xia Gua was loved by Xia iren’s workmates since he was such a lovable and adorable child.
"Are you excited to et your uncle Sinian?" Xia iren asked as she fixed the small bow around Little lon’s neck.
Little lon was wearing a black suit as he stood still and admire how beautiful his mother was since she was wearing a royal blue gown that was hugging her beautiful figure. It glitters when it was touched by the light and any child would be attracted by it’s glittering effects.
Upon hearing her question, he quickly nodded. "llo is excited!"
Little lon was now three years old and a half. He can speak English fluently with a british accent but whenever he was alone with Xia iren, they would speak in Chinese.
’llo’ was Xia Gua’s English na. He was called Xia llo by everyone that knows him that’s why he got used by the na ’llo’.
They were going to the banquet that Xia iren will be attending. A lot of known business people will be attending the banquet and one of them is her brother. Xia Sinian gave his sister a word that he’ll be heading straight to the banquet as soon as his plane landed in the country. The host of the banquet was one of Xia Sinian’s close friends.
When they got off the car, Xia iren and Little lon entered the hotel, hand in hand.
The banquet was being held on the top floor dining hall of Ritz London Hotel.
Just like how she usually attracted the people around her, the people who saw Xia iren were stunned by her beauty, even the eyes of a certain man.
Little lon walked proudly beside his mother, he was surprisingly behave whenever he accompanied her. Little lon was an intelligent and obedient boy that Xia iren was surprised by how he acts sotis.
There were a lot of known faces, even so famous English actors and actresses were there. After all, the one hosting the banquet was a very famous man in London.
A lot of people greeted Xia iren and her son but they were all cut off when they heard the host, Andrew Watson’s voice. After his brief speech, the dinner began.
Since it was a banquet, socializing and alcohol was customary.
After greeting and talking with so people, she went to the buffet area with her son. She filled their plates before they went to the table that was assigned to them.
Xia iren sliced the steak into tiny bits so that Little lon can eat it neatly. Using his fork, he stabbed the at and eats it that way.
A handso man in a white suit went to approach her. "Good evening, Ms. Xia."
Surprise by how a man greeted her in Chinese, she turned her head to look at him. Her eyes went wide upon seeing the face of a man that she will never forget.
Seeing that Xia iren could still rember him, the side of his lips curled up. "Fancy eting you here."
She snapped out from her trance, a grin appeared on her face. "Ning-ge ge!" She stood up and gave him a hug.
He was her childhood friend and first love, he was the reason why after all this ti, she never dated anyone.
Xia iren was with Feng Ning for almost seven years. They were together since they were babies since their mothers were best friends. They grew up together and were inseparable.
Before Feng Ning and his family left for Paris, Feng Ning promised that he will co back for her and because of this, Xia iren promised to wait for him.
Feng Ning hugged her back. "I’m so happy to see you here."
When he arrived in the country, he saw Xia iren in the Tv as she was being interviewed. He couldn’t believe his eyes, the woman on the screen was his childhood friend, Xia iren.
When he saw her enter earlier, he couldn’t help but think that she was actually prettier in person.
"Momma, who’s he?" A small, cute voice of a boy was heard.
Rembering that her son was around, she pulled away from Feng Ning and faced her son, she smiled a bit. "Baby, et your uncle Feng Ning, he is mommy’s friend. Ning-ge, this is my son, Xia Gua, although he prefers to be called llo."
When Feng Ning saw Little lon with Xia iren earlier, he was surprised and he couldn’t help but wonder if he was Xia iren’s son but now he does. Despite that, Feng Ning gave Little lon a gentle smile to give the little boy a good impression of him.
"Where’s your... um... husband?" Feng Ning asked as he turned back to Xia iren.
"Ah... he’s... in heaven." Xia iren looked away as she lied.
Feng Ning knows her well, her nose would always twitch whenever she lies that’s why he knows that she wasn’t saying the truth but despite that, he didn’t exposed her lie. "I see... I’m sorry for your loss."
"No, it’s okay..."
Little lon looked up at the tall, handso man and a small pout appeared on his lips. Since he was seating on a high chair, he raised his arms to Xia iren as if wanting to be carried.
When she saw this, Xia iren chuckled at his adorable gesture before she carried him in her arms, and as soon as she did Little lon wrapped his short arms around his mother’s neck. "Momma belongs to llo!" He said possessively as he hugs Xia iren protectively.
’Since Dada is no more, it’s llo’s job to protect Momma!’ Little lon would always think of this whenever a man tries to approach his mother.
"..." Xia iren didn’t know whether to laugh out or hold it in, but she chose the latter. She pursed her lips as she tried not to laugh at her son’s adorable and sweet actions.
When Little lon turned to look at his mother, he can clearly see that she was trying not to laugh. He pouted cutely, "Momma! llo is serious! Uncle Ningning is a no no, okay?"
Xia iren let out a small giggle, "But baby, he is mommy’s friend and uncle Ning is a good man."
Feng Ning clears his throat a bit. "Yes, I am your mother’s friend. I am not here to steal her from you." He smiled as he thought that he needs to deal with Xia iren’s son first.
Little lon turned his head from Feng Ning then back to Xia iren before he turned back to him as he gave him a doubting gaze. "Really? Uncle Ningning won’t steal momma?"
He nodded, still smiling gently towards the little guy. "I won’t, I promise."
Little lon showed his tiny pinky finger. "Swear it! If uncle Ning-Ning broke the promise, uncle Ning-Ning will have to eat thousands of needles!"
"..." Feng Ning turned to Xia iren.
A small smile appeared on Xia iren’s lips. Whenever she made a promise with Little lon, she would always say that if she won’t be able to fulfill it, she would eat thousands of needles as a punishnt.
