Chapter 1214 "Casting the Bait (5)"
When facing such a lovely doll of a little boy, Bai Ning’s heart could literally melt away from his cuteness so how could she refuse him?
“Xiachen, we’re already a family, your mother is my daughter, and you’re my grandchild." Bai Ning"s eye then gently squinted into a narrow slit as a touch of frost beamed out of them, "Also, even if you say that, I still don"t trust him. If he really cares for my daughter then why is he not personally coming to pick you all up?"
Hurrying to speak up to answer that, First Elder didn"t want any further misunderstanding: "Queen, you have to believe in the king, he"s been direly missing you these days while you were missing. We came as soon as he sensed your energy signature, however, he had to leave in the middle due to something diverting his attention."
Something happened?
Clenching up in her heart, Bai Yan rushes over to grasp onto the elder"s shoulder: "Did Di Cang get hurt?"
With her knowledge and understanding of her husband, she"s certain Di Cang would"ve came in person if he could. The fact that he left midway must be because of something important and urgent.
“The king wasn"t hurt, and I don’t know what exactly happened either.” In the end the elder decides to keep his mouth shut due to the orders he"s been given prior.
Despite the lack of details, Bai Yan did feel relieved her husband wasn"t injured. "It"s good that he"s not hurt, that"s good…."
Bai Ning didn"t miss her daughter"s expression of course and grew aggravated over how easily she flew to the man"s defense. Glaring with her eagle eyes at the old man: "If he wants my daughter back then he better come in person to show his sincerity. I won"t let my daughter go otherwise! Now scram!"
Making a difficult face: “Queen….”
Drawing a smile after calming herself as well over the good news: "It"s okay First Elder, I"m fine where I am. I want to spend some more time with my mother for now."
Since the queen herself has spoken, there"s no reason for the elder to stick around. Arching his fist: "Then I"ll go back first and report this to the king. If Your Highness wish to go back then His Majesty will be here in person."
“Mmm,” Bai Yan nods with a faint smile.
Until my mother regains her memory of the past, I won"t leave.
“By the way, pa.s.s on a message to Di Cang for me. If he has something important to do then he can come later, there"s no need to hurry."
“Yes, Queen.”
When the elder received his orders to leave, he and his demon guards were soon scattered and gone, leaving only an empty street in their wake.
“Mother." Bai Yan breaks out into a giggling chuckle after finding Bai Ning still steaming on the face: "DI Cang is not that kind of person."
Snorting at that defense: "He better not be. My daughter can only bully others, never be bullied! If that guy is bad to you then I won"t let you two be together even if I draw your hate."
What of breaking a couple with a stick?
As long as the man shows any sign of wrongdoing, I will take Yan"er away from him and keep them apart.
My daughter must be loved for a lifetime!
Bai Yan naturally knew Bai Ning was looking out for her by reacting this way so she didn"t say anything hurtful. Besides, she knows the lady would understand her husband"s sincerity soon enough.
