âThat so?â Bai Ning remains suspicious on the face but didnât dive deeper upon realizing the girl didnât want to give anymore details.
âYuâer, although I couldnât take you to be my own daughter, but⦠Iâve always looked to you as a niece. If you ever come across any trouble, do come tell me, you donât have to keep it to yourself and handle it alone.â
Shaking her head, Ning Yu spoke with a more relaxed pose after that: âDonât worry Auntie Ning, I am really fine.â
âIâm relieved then if thatâs the case.â Despite those words, Bai Ningâs forehead remains a tight knot. She doesnât know why either, but the lady just got this strange feeling that the child whom she helped raised since young has changed in some waysâ¦.
Watching the departing back of her Auntie Ning, the petite girl finally released the breath she had unknowingly been holding. Her backâs been soaked due to all the pressure of almost being caught by this point, and her palm a bloody mess due to how hard sheâs been gripping the poisonous bead.
In the end Ning Yu only shot a final glance towards Bai Yanâs room before she too returned to her own, and this time, she didnât keep the poison out in the open; instead, she hid it well away so thereâs no chance for others to accidentally come across it.
Tapping the table in her room after some more thought: âPaâs plan is too dangerous and risky in the end. I canât do it. Although Auntie Ning pampers me but I can tell sheâs extremely fond of that brat and will go a long way for him. If she ever finds out I tried to poison them then she will never let me go!â
Even though the urge to remove that woman was still there, but Ning Yu could say for certain to herself she doesnât have the guts to murder someone yet. Therefore, the only method for this girl was to use alternative methods.
âBai Yan, Auntie Ning is mine, and if you dare rob her from me then I wonât spare you!â Punching the table, the girlâs aura was all cold and sinister as she walked out the door and disappeared from the inn.
Next day.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The morning light was just right at this timing, allowing the beams of brightness to shine through the window and onto Bai Yanâs beautiful face. Faintly opening her eyes over the glimmer, she eventually noticed the two cuddly kittens snuggling against her arm.
Pleased by this warm picture, she pulls them closer for further snuggles to only disturb the boy whoâs still asleep.
âMotherâ¦â Awaken by the movement, Bai Xiachen mutters this as he rubbed his dozy eyes. âMe and Dragony wanted to snuggle with you so we came on our own, you wouldnât be mad right? Did we end up squeezing the baby in your belly? If sheâs hurt then Iâm going to be distressed.â
Aching over how sensible the boy was, Bai Yan throws a smile of reassurance over to stop his wild thoughts: âSilly, why would you think your little sister is that fragile? Donât worry, she sleeping with her brother and sister is a good thing, Iâm sure she is very happy.â
âReally?â Twinkling with bright stars in his little eyes, âDoes that mean Little Sister likes me?â
âYes, of course she does, she likes both of you.â Bai Yanâs voice right now was bordering on the line of a lullaby, making the boy all the more happy and trustful.
âMother, I also like my little sister, but in my eye you are still the most important. Mother will always be first.â Snuggling his head closer to the womanâs chest, he didnât hide the lovely smile he had when pushing against those wonderful jugs.
