Chapter 1402 “The Proud Little Glutton (6)”
“What’s wrong Xiachen?” Bai Yan quickly asks after seeing how pale her boy was looking.
“I don’t know mother,” the steambun grips his own clothes around the chest area, “just now I felt a sense of panic within my heart. I’m afraid something might’ve happened to those I know. Maybe Dragony? Or Little Rice or Tsing Yi?”
Little Rice and Tsing Yi should’ve been back by now, did something happen while they were outside? And Dragony…..
Although to Bai Xiachen the girl wasn’t his biological family, but the boy already felt like she’s a member of his family from an emotional standpoint. Now imagining Dragony being in danger was something he couldn’t even begin to fathom.
“Little Rice and Tsing Yi should be alright, don’t worry about them. If they were, I would’ve felt it by now.”
But then this idea brought on another issue, which causes Bai Yan to furrow up the brow. If those two aren’t in trouble, then what about Dragony?
“As for Dragony, I had some of the more elite soldiers under your father to tail her. If anything happens then your father should know by now.”
“Okay.” The steambun nodded, his hand still clenching tightly due to the unease, “Mother, I don’t want Dragony to be in any accident.”
“Don’t worry, she’ll be all right.” Letting her brow loosen up to not worry her son, Bai Yan warmly brings him into a hug to rea.s.sure him. Then turning to his younger son, “Jin Tian, go find your sister and play while me and your older brother find your father.”
“Mmmm.” Fawning with light in his eyes, the little glutton get’s all innocent and lovely in the face over what he’s going to say next, “Can I go to the kitchen and get some food?”
Even though he ate not long ago, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s hungry again….
“Go ahead, but don’t eat too much or you will get a tummy ache again. Alright, let’s go Xiachen.” That said, the woman herself also felt a sense of unease now and hurried to bring her eldest son along for the outside.
Jin Tian on the other hand wasn’t as urgent to run off to play though. Rubbing the back of his head, the little glutton only appeared a little bit off, “Who is Dragony? Is it someone else’s sister that Big Brother wants to abduct?”
The more he thought, the more reasonable this little glutton found the theory to be so. I didn’t think Big Brother is that kind of person. He is actually into abducting someone else’s sister. What if the other family’s big brother comes knocking at our door? They will break his leg!
Due to all the misguided information Bai Xiachen himself sowed into the little baby, which was akin to brainwas.h.i.+ng, it would be quite some years before the little glutton stopped having that image of his own idol.
“No, I can’t stand by and watch Big Brother have his leg be broken. I must advise him to turn a new leaf and not ruin someone else’s family’s sister.” Pumping his fist up into the air like a hero, the little glutton vows to himself.
The word ruin was something Bai Xiachen himself taught the baby. To think it would be turned and used on himself one day. If the older boy learned of this then he would surely ignore the little glutton for a month at least.
……
Bai Yan and her eldest had only finished coming out of their courtyard when the man whom they are looking for arrived on his own.
“Yan Yan, this is perfect, I was going to find you but didn’t know you were coming on your own.”
This sent the woman into a alarmed state. Tensing up in the hands: “Tell me the truth, did something happen to Dragony? Don’t worry, I can handle it.”
“It’s like this…” Di Cang’s voice sounded half hesitant as well, “Dragony is missing. The people I sent to protect her is also missing and I can’t contact them anymore. I don’t know what happened to her.”
