âDid you hear? If either of you sense my motherâs presence then come inform us right away.â Commanding and forceful, thereâs not an ounce of naivety in the boyâs voice.
Dragon Flame twitched in the corner of his mouth over that order. Seriously, did he even need to be ordered for that? If that woman were anywhere close and he found out he would run off to her in an instant!
âBoth of you go down then,â Bai Xiachen cocks a brow before turning back to Dragony with a blossoming smile, âYou rest also, Mother will come find us soon.â
âMmm.â Giving one final nod, the little missy didnât doubt the boyâs words, only trusting and believing his every statement.
â¦â¦
Back over at Ning Yuâs side, the outraged girl had just returned to her own room inside the inn. Sheâs full of anger right and wanted to smash something to vent the frustration. However, right as sheâs about to break the nearest teacup on the table, she stopped half way out of fear for disturbing Bai Ning.
âBlasted kid, how dare you set me up!â She viciously mutters this to no one in specific, âNo matter, since youâre the one trying to steal my Auntie Ning then its you whoâs going to die!â
Nothing but a child, regardless of how cunning he is, he canât possibly pose a threat to me with his weak strength. I will find a time where Auntie Ning is not looking and finish him!
But before she could figure out her next course of action, the door to her room was suddenly pushed open and in came a familiar figure.
âAuntie Ning, how come youâre here?â She hurriedly asks after being startled by the entry.
Bai Ning didnât reply to the question, only showing a frown due to the strange atmosphere in the room. In the end, it was the lady herself who breaks the silence with a sigh.
Yuâer, I have always thought of you as a good child, but today your behavior is too disappointing. Youâve let me down. If it wasnât for Xiachen pleading for your case, I wouldnât have kept you around.â
The truth frightened Ning Yu, causing the girl to reach out in a panic, âAuntie Ning, I know I am wrong back there, please donât leave me behind. I simply care about you too much. You know it too. I never had a mother because she passed away when I was a babyâ¦. I simply didnât want anyone to steal you away.â
Showing a bittersweet smile while shaking her head: âIf you werenât partially raised by me then you think I would still be standing here? Iâm also at fault. I did look after you but I didnât educate you properly, causing you to be so narrow minded.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Over the years, she has been running around so often that sheâs not taken the effort to oversee the childâs growth. The fault wasnât entirely hers, but Bai Ning couldnât shirk off the responsibility either.
âYuâer, I really like that child, I had liked him since the first time I laid eyes on him. So, I do not want you to continue to bully him, otherwiseâ¦. I wonât forgive you the next time around, you need to understand that!â After dropping this final warning, Bai Ning didnât look back and walked out again, leaving only the shaking girl in the background who had crumbled to the floor.
