Even though the old goat and snake didnât understand what the boy was trying to pull here, they knew enough than to interrupt the show. Instead, they locked their focus onto Ning Yu with a warning glare, saying if you try anything then we would snip you on the spot!
âYuâer, what are you doing here? Did you finish buying the cake already?â
Ning Yu was at a loss when this voice cut in from the rear, which made her go pale from not knowing how to react. Biting her lip, she instinctively started to weep in order to win some points: âAuntie Ning, Iâm sorry⦠I got lazy and didnât go to the street over for his cake and instead asked the kitchen for some. This likely angered little Xiachen, so-soâ¦.â
Faintly furrowing up her brow, Bai Ning first glanced at the flipped over table, then at the weeping girl in question. Itâs obvious what has happened and sheâs not pleased at all.
âYuâer, even if you donât want to go out and buy the cake then thatâs fine, you couldâve said so to me, why do such deceptive things? What did I teach you since you were little? A person must be trustworthy, thatâs the basic rule in life.â
This bashing was not what Ning Yu expected. Going stiff and disbelieving in the face,?Why is that the main focus? Isnât the main focus supposed to be about the table being flipped? How can Auntie Ning be so bias towards the kid?
âXiachen,â Bai Ning heaves a long helpless sigh upon turning to the boy, âif you didnât like the cake she bought then you couldâve asked her to buy it again, why get so upset? What if you hurt yourself?â
The boy didnât reply, only flushing red in the eye with tears quickly seeping out. Then as if determined after deciding on something, he reached over to grab onto Dragonyâs hand and made a deep bow with his sister. âPretty Granny, Iâm sorry but we will have to say goodbye now.â
Alarmed and anxious on her face over that, Bai Ning promptly explained herself: âXiachen, I am not blaming you so donât get angry, I was only worried about your well-being. If you leave now then what about those bad people, what if they come find you againâ¦.â
âI am not afraid, me and my sister have come all this way by ourselves. We can keep walking forward if we must.â Getting stubborn on his face, the normal blue eye he had was now full crying out.
Ning Yu to one side could care less about the boyâs safety, but she does care a lot about coming out on top of this situation. Sure enough, a touch of gloating pride could be found across this girlâs cheeky face.
Although Auntie Ning is bias towards this little shit, but as long as I can drive them away then itâs all good. At most she will only reprimand me a bit and thatâs that.
Dragony on the other hand still hasnât quite gotten along with the flow yet, which could be seen on her puzzled face at the moment.
Huh? Didnât Gege say we must follow Grandmother around no matter what? Why are we leaving all of a sudden?
Just when the little dragoness was bewildered by everything, the boy in question suddenly shot her a signaling glance that struck her like lightning. Instantly, she understood and cried out as well.
âGege, I donât want to go, Iâm afraid of being taken away as a child wife by those bad people. Iâm scaredâ¦.â
Meanwhile back over at the doorway, Dragon Flame was absolutely flabbergasted by the two kidsâ ability to put on a show of this caliber, especially that remark about being a child wife. What a word to use!
âDonât be afraid Dragon, I will protect you.â Tightly hugging his sister like a stubborn kid thatâs trying to forcefully put on a mature face, âAnd, even if we encounter greater danger in the future, itâs nothing compared to being treated as a beggar.â
âOoohwoohhh, but I really like Pretty Granny.â While wiping the tears and snots from her face, the little missy suddenly threw herself into Bai Ningâs leg to cling onto the lady, âPretty Granny, please donât drive me and Gege away, we will be good okay? We are very good. We can help babysit your future baby and never make you angry.â
