âXiachen, Dragony, Iâll arrange a place for you later. As for your bodyguardsâ¦â Bai Ning glanced at the two following behind him, âIâll put them in the room next to you, how about that?â
A firework of smiles promptly bloomed across the boyâs face: âThank you Pretty Granny. I really like you, and now I wonât have to worry about those bad people coming to make trouble.â
âYou littleâ¦â Bai Ning couldnât resist giving the kid a ruffle on the head to emphasize her affection, âDonât worry, no one will be able to hurt you anymore.â
After she hummed this sentence, the lady then turns back to petite girl behind herself. Soft in her tone: âYuâer, Iâve taken him in as a grandson from now on, as his aunt, you must also help care for him. Donât be so fierce, okay?â
Ning Yu didnât know why but sheâs been dreadfully disliking this boy since the second she set eyes upon him, especially that dazzling smile. Even so, she kept her tongue in place knowing better. âAuntie Ning, I will take good care of little Xiachen. I also wonât get angry so casually anymore.â
But its as if the baby fox had a grudge against the petite girl or something. The moment she said that was when the boy followed up with a remark that left her steaming.
âAuntie, Iâm hungry, can you get me some food?â
This damn boy, how dare he call me auntie still? Does he really think I canât do anything to him because he has Auntie Ning backing him?
Just when Ning Yu was stuff full of unbalanced emotions, Bai Ningâs soft gentle voice cuts in again: âYuâer, go prepare some food for them. These two have suffered enough while searching for their mother. It breaks my heart seeing how thin they are.â
Going from green to white, then back from white to green, the petite girl almost couldnât hold back her anger and lashed out.
âOkay, Iâll go get things ready.â She grudgingly replied.
Not wanting to let her Auntie Ning notice her flaming hate of the kid, Ning Yu almost bolted out of there in order to find a waiter in this inn. However, the devious and mischievous boy in question was apparently not done with his dig at the girl.
âAuntie, I want to eat the Osmanthus cake on the other side of street, can you go buy some for me? When I passed the stall earlier, the smell was amazing.â The taunt had the added effect of making the girl clench up that hand into a ball.
Afraid to even turn around to show her menacingly dark face, Ning Yu spoke with forced kindness: âNo worries, Iâll be right back with your Osmanthus cake.â Having said this, she ran for it in order to avoid being called again. Even a saint has their limits and she has reached hers.
Pleased with what he has done, Bai Xiachen quickly removed the mean look in his eyes after the figure disappeared from view; instead, he donned a lovely smile when speaking to Bai Ning: âPretty Granny, itâs getting late now so Iâll take my sister to rest first. You should too.â
Oblivious to the jab the boy had done, Bai Ning continues to showing a happy face due to her mood: âOkay, you two rest for now, Iâll come call you when dinner is ready later.â
After that promise, the lady then went ahead to prepare the rooms needed for the kids and their followers. Only then did she return to her own room after setting everything in place.
