Narrowing in her eyes, a sneer filled Bai Yanâs mouth: âMy daughterâs happiness cannot be dictated by anyone, even if that is Di Cang and Xiachen, no one can!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The pipsqueak didnât quite get why her mother would react so strongly, thus leaving all bewildered and confused. What does this have to do with my happiness? My happiness is to be with everyone for the rest of my life ahâ¦
âMother, as long as I have Father, Big Brother, Second Brother and Auntie then that is my greatest happiness.â That said, the pipsqueak snuggles up into the womanâs arm, her smile big and bright like the dazzling sun.
âYou are still small so you will understand what I mean later. In any case, your mother I will always be on your sideâ¦â
Regarding the demon queenâs statement here, itâs undoubtedly different from Heavenlyâs. The clueless gramps only said similar words because he wanted to abduct this adorable baby girl home with him to meet his grandson, meanwhile Bai Yan said all of this from the deepest part of her heart in the sincerest form.
âHmm?â Bai Yan abruptly swings her head around then when she suddenly sensed a third person coming over.
Under the blistering sun, an elegant Gu Ya wearing a light blue dress slowly strode over, her hip swaying hypnotically as if to tell the world that you mustnât ignore me less youâre blind. Towards this display, the demon queen undoubtedly found it displeasuring since it reminded her of some unpleasant memories in the human world. Plus, what this woman did when she first arrived outside the Monarch Manor didnât go unnoticed, what reason left does Bai Yan have to like or favor this individual?
âMother, I donât like herâ¦â the little pipsqueak squirms closer into her motherâs arm, âI always feel like sheâs scheming against me like some big bad wolf trying to abduct a white rabbit.â
Chuckling at her daughterâs perception and description, Bai Yan reassures the child with her soft mellow voice: âBut you are not a little white rabbit silly.â
Youâre a foxâ¦
Want to abduct my Ling Yan? It wonât be so easy.
âLady,â Gu Ya directly walks up to Bai Yanâs presence without a care despite the cold reception, âI did not know you were Ling Yanâs mother earlier, I only thought the child is the monarchâs granddaughter.â
That comment immediately brought a puckered li[ to the child, âGrandpapa have been looking everywhere for my mother, everyone in the manor already knows about it!â
Gu Yaâs façade crumbled a bit after being called out. However, her thick skin prevailed and the woman quickly recovered. âThat is because I am not living in the manor, I wouldnât have known that detail. Do not misunderstand me Ling Yan, if I had known sheâs your mother then I would never have stopped her from coming inside. Furthermore, it wouldnât have mattered if I intervened or not, the threshold for outsiders to come inside the Monarch Manor is no small feat, not just anyone can come inside you know.â
Simply said, sheâs implying Bai Yan didnât have the qualifications to enter even if she didnât intervene with that lie. For Gu Ya, she could force herself to like the pipsqueak for Heavenly Flameâs sake. But for Bai Yan who came out of nowhere, she only had disgust for the demon queen.
âLiar!â Ling Yan huffs a grunt and proudly cocked her chin at the other side, âMother, I donât like to see this liar, can we go back inside and nap?â
Gu Yaâs face changed completely, causing her breath to stutter at how rude sheâs being treated. If not for her years of training in keeping her manners, the woman wouldâve long lost it. âLing Yan, you misunderstood me, I really do like you, Iâm only looking out for you since Iâm afraid someone might use you to their advantage.â
