When facing such a lovely doll of a little boy, Bai Ningâs heart could literally melt away from his cuteness so how could she refuse him?
âXiachen, weâre already a family, your mother is my daughter, and youâre my grandchild.â Bai Ningâs eye then gently squinted into a narrow slit as a touch of frost beamed out of them, âAlso, even if you say that, I still donât trust him. If he really cares for my daughter then why is he not personally coming to pick you all up?â
Hurrying to speak up to answer that, First Elder didnât want any further misunderstanding: âQueen, you have to believe in the king, heâs been direly missing you these days while you were missing. We came as soon as he sensed your energy signature, however, he had to leave in the middle due to something diverting his attention.â
Something happened?
Clenching up in her heart, Bai Yan rushes over to grasp onto the elderâs shoulder: âDid Di Cang get hurt?â
With her knowledge and understanding of her husband, sheâs certain Di Cang wouldâve came in person if he could. The fact that he left midway must be because of something important and urgent.
âThe king wasnât hurt, and I donât know what exactly happened either.â In the end the elder decides to keep his mouth shut due to the orders heâs been given prior.
Despite the lack of details, Bai Yan did feel relieved her husband wasnât injured. âItâs good that heâs not hurt, thatâs goodâ¦.â
Bai Ning didnât miss her daughterâs expression of course and grew aggravated over how easily she flew to the manâs defense. Glaring with her eagle eyes at the old man: âIf he wants my daughter back then he better come in person to show his sincerity. I wonât let my daughter go otherwise! Now scram!â
Making a difficult face: âQueenâ¦.â
Drawing a smile after calming herself as well over the good news: âItâs okay First Elder, Iâm fine where I am. I want to spend some more time with my mother for now.â
Since the queen herself has spoken, thereâs no reason for the elder to stick around. Arching his fist: âThen Iâll go back first and report this to the king. If Your Highness wish to go back then His Majesty will be here in person.â
âMmm,â Bai Yan nods with a faint smile.
Until my mother regains her memory of the past, I wonât leave.
âBy the way, pass on a message to Di Cang for me. If he has something important to do then he can come later, thereâs no need to hurry.â
âYes, Queen.â
When the elder received his orders to leave, he and his demon guards were soon scattered and gone, leaving only an empty street in their wake.
âMother.â Bai Yan breaks out into a giggling chuckle after finding Bai Ning still steaming on the face: âDI Cang is not that kind of person.â
Snorting at that defense: âHe better not be. My daughter can only bully others, never be bullied! If that guy is bad to you then I wonât let you two be together even if I draw your hate.â
What of breaking a couple with a stick?
As long as the man shows any sign of wrongdoing, I will take Yanâer away from him and keep them apart.
My daughter must be loved for a lifetime!
Bai Yan naturally knew Bai Ning was looking out for her by reacting this way so she didnât say anything hurtful. Besides, she knows the lady would understand her husbandâs sincerity soon enough.
