Towering over the clouded peaks, a man continues to stare off into the horizon until he grew tire of this scenery. Turning around, he originally intended to return to his estate when suddenly....
âWho!â He snaps at the rustling noise coming out of the shrubbery.
In response, a small little head pokes out of the leaves and met his gaze. The girl had a very cuddly and cute face, but those eyes were the main showpiece that dazzled anyone who saw it due to how brilliant they were.
âWhere is this place? Whereâs my mother?â The pipsqueak rubs her eyes in a drowsy manner as if she didnât wake up properly yet.
Towards this unexpected child, Heavenly got a strange aching fondness to her akin to his own grandson Bai Xiachen. The boy has always been cuddly and cute, similar to that of a steambun, only this baby here had more of a pink fluff to it.
âLittle girl, I did not see your mother here, did you get separated from her?â
Taken aback at first, the pipsqueak squirms uncomfortably at the stranger before breaking out into a cry. âI want Mother, woowoo, I want to find Mother...â
âWhereâs your mother, I will help you find her.â Heavenly did not know where his patience came from because heâs never been one to babysit kids, but for some strange reason he could not reject this baby girlâs request.
Hiccupping as she half speaks and half cry: âUncle, you will really help Ling Yan find Mother? Youâre not the kind of lying kidnappers Big Brother mentioned, right?â
That actually caused a frown in Heavenlyâs face due to the abrupt turn of topic, This child is so wary of strangers, just like Xiachen.
âSo youâre called Ling Yan? Donât call me uncle, I could be your grandfather already if going by my age. In fact, my grandson is only a few years older than you. if heâs by your side, he will certainly like to have a young little sister like you.â
Xiachen always mentioned how much he wants a little sister so in Heavenlyâs mind, this baby girl would be a perfect fit based on how cute and cuddly she was.
âLing Yan, tell grandpapa here your motherâs name. I can send someone to go inform them of your whereabout. Iâm sure your parents are worried sick for you.â That said, the guy reached out with a hand and rubbed the pipsqueakâs head to sooth her crying.
For kids, itâs common and human nature to be afraid of an unfamiliar environment. Therefore, the best solution would be to first calm their unsettled self with a calming gesture like caressing their hair or a welcoming posture.
Despite being teary still in the eye, Di Ling Yan did stop hiccupping as she spoke. Big Brother said to not trust anyone I donât know. This grandpapa seems nice, but he said I would be a good sister to his grandson....
In this pipsqueakâs mind, she only wants to be her parentâs daughter and her two brothers sister, she doesnât want to be anyone elseâs sister!
Tightly biting down on her lower lips: âGrandpapa, are you planning take Ling Yan back to your home to sell to your grandson?â
That instantly made the man freeze all over due to how ridiculous and bombshell of a comment that was. He honestly never expected this girl to be so clever that she could coin up such a story. Angry at her? No, more like a helpless exhaustion at being unable to handle a baby.
âYou little rascal, who taught you such things at such a young age? The outer domains are dangerous, you cannot stay here alone. Grandpapa here promise you, I will not sell you to anyone or my grandson, okay?â
