When he saw that Di Ling Yan had not been hurt, the manâs worried expression naturally cleared up. This shouldnât have been anything special; however, that following smile was a thorn, poking holes into Gu Yaâs heart who stood at the opposite end.
âLing Yan, how can you sneak away alone like that?â Heavenly sternly lectures her despite his gentle gesture of caressing that little head, âNext time you mustnât leave those maids behind, do you understand?â
Pouting her little mouth until its a balloon: âBut I donât like having so many people following me around, they wonât even let me go to the toilet by myselfâ¦â
The man could only shake his head helplessly after hearing that: âIf you donât like too many people following then I can withdraw some of the maids away. However, you must keep some around.â
âWhat about when Iâm in the toilet?â
âI will let them know to wait at the door, okay?â Crouching down to be at eye level with the young girl, âGrandpaâs enemies are many, itâs not safe for you to be wandering around alone. What if someone sneaks inside and no one could save you? Donât worry, those maids are very powerful, they can protect you for sure.â
âThank you, Grandpapa.â Throwing herself at the manâs leg, she hugs him wholeheartedly while smiling brightly, which instantly brought joy to the old grandfather.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âGu Ya, why are you here?âWhen Heavenly finally stood back up and looked around, he was immediately alarmed to discover the woman standing across from them.
Gu Ya felt especially sad and bitter inside over that question. Am I that insignificant in his eye that he only now noticed me? I canât even be compared to a two year old child?
âMonarch, Iâm here to see Ling Yan. Sheâs so cute, i like her very much.â Gu Yaâs gaze then fell upon the little pipsqueak who immediately squirmed away into the manâs arm.
Wrinkling her little nose, Di Ling Yan grew especially unhappy at the outreached hand from the lady: âYou lie, if you like me then why do you want me to eat those pastries? I refused once already, yet you kept insisting I accept it.â
Heavenlyâs handsome face instantly darkend into a grim look as he locked onto the woman, his eyes sharp like a sword.
That brought some serious trouble to Gu Ya. She did not expect the pipsqueak to call her out over that exchange so she got quite white. Stumbling back a few steps: âMonarch, I really did not, I only wanted to offer Ling Yan some snacks, i didnât meant toâ¦â
âHumph!â Ling Yan proudly huffs a grunt, âI told you Mother wonât let me eat too many sweets, you clearly want me to have a tooth cavity. Grandpapa, I donât like her, she wants me to get a tooth ache.â
In her panic, Gu Ya frantically tried to defend herself some more only to be shut down by that gaze. To say her heart felt a despairing chill was no underststatement.
âGu Ya, â Heavenly lowered his tone into frosted ice, âLing Yan is the Monarch Manorâs little young miss, you are to address her as Young Miss from hereonforward. In additionâ¦â He pauses for a moment, âLing Yan doesnât like you, so, you do not need to come to the estate as often anymore.â
Ling Yan doesnât like you, so, you do not need to come to the estate as often anymoreâ¦
This sentence rocked the womanâs heart, sending thundering booms across her mind until sheâs stiff as a rock, those eyes full of disbelief.
Because of this little girlâs words, he actually⦠refuse me entry?
What magic does this girl have to make the monarch pamper her like so?
âWhat are you standing around for, leave!â Heavenlyâs harsh voice echoed across the air, sending another traumatic shock into Gu Yaâs head.
