Bai Manor.
With the baby tiger in hand, Bai Xiachen silently followed behind the leading maid from the back. Eventually, they stopped in front of a wooden shed thatâs meant for the firewood.
âThis is where you will sleep,â the maid points ahead with her finger.
A wooden shed?
Due to his worry, Bai Xiao had tagged along to make sure the little guy doesnât get mistreated. Sure enough, his handsome face promptly turned dark after seeing this.
âXiachen isnât only my sisterâs child, heâs also my nephew!â His lips curved into a cold smirk, âWho allowed you to arrange for him a wooden shed?â
Biting her lips, the maid answered with the truth: âThis is the old madamâs arrangement.â
âOld madam?â Bai Xiao snickered with contempt, âSheâs nothing but an outsider so what gives her the right to make the arrangements?â

Under the young boyâs pressuring stare, the maid could only silently take it with her head held low. Although Old Madam Yu was indeed an outsider, but none of the servants here would take it that way.
âYoung master, please donât make things difficult for me, otherwise, when the lord returnsâ¦â
âScram!â Bai Xiao roars: âGo back and tell her I will arrange for my nephewâs place of stay. I donât need an outsider managing our affair.â
After leaving behind this statement, Bai Xiao stopped looking at the maid entirely. Leaning down, he picks up the adorable little steam bun and turns around for the exit.
âXiachen, you will sleep with me tonight. Then when morning comes around, I will send you back to your motherâs place.â
âThere should be a side room at your quarter, right?â Bai Xiachen continues to show that innocent and bright face as he spoke: âI can stay there! Also, whatever happens today, you must promise me you wonât come over to check. Pretend nothing is happening, okay?â
Surprised by the strange request, Bai Xiao subconsciously looked down to meet those dark eyes from the baby boy: âOkay, I will do as you say.â
This little guy is nothing like a five-year-old child. Sometimes heâs so mature that even an adult cannot compare with him.
âLittle Rice, letâs go.â Making the cutest smile one can make, Bai Xiachenâs eye literally glowed at this point. In truth, they are very similar to Di Cangâs bloodthirsty gaze without the bloodthirsty part. Very scheming and foxy like when they are thinking up something bad for their foes.
â¦â¦
At this very moment in the east wing of the Bai estate, Yu Rong had just finished jumping up from her seat: âMother, how could you bring that little runt here?â
To think Bai Yanâs son wasnât lost back then⦠and its such an unbearable kid that donât even know how to respect their elders. What sort of future can such a child possibly have?
âBack then I couldnât sell Bai Yan after she ran away, so now, Iâm going to sell her son!â
A cruel light shot out of the old womanâs eye just now because she had just remembered the price they paid after not keeping their end of the bargain. Just thinking of the incident would make her old heart ache with pain.
Yu Rong was surprised by her motherâs statement: âMother, we were able to sell Bai Yan back then because Zheng Xiang wasnât home at the time. Even if my husband favors us even more, heâs not going to sell his own flesh and blood.â
In truth, back when Lanyue (mother) was still alive, Bai Zheng Xiangâs attitude towards Bai Yan and Bai Xiao was rather good. Itâs just that later in the years, due to the constant whispering and downgrading by Yu Rong, the original bond he had with the two were eventually torn away and only disappointment remains.
But disappointment was disappointment, itâs not enough to warrant the man to sell his own children for some Dan pills. That was unless the benefits involved were great enough to tempt himâ¦
