Chapter 1769 “Bai Yan’s Here (8)”
Narrowing in her eyes, a sneer filled Bai Yan’s mouth: “My daughter’s happiness cannot be dictated by anyone, even if that is Di Cang and Xiachen, no one can!”
The pipsqueak didn’t 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 ah….
“Mother, as long as I have Father, Big Brother, Second Brother and Auntie then that is my greatest happiness.” That said, the pipsqueak snuggles up into the woman’s arm, her smile big and bright like the dazzling sun.
“You are still small so you will understand what I mean later. In any case, your mother I will always be on your side…”
Regarding the demon queen’s statement here, it’s undoubtedly different from Heavenly’s. 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.
“Hmm?” 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 mustn’t ignore me less you’re 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 didn’t go unnoticed, what reason left does Bai Yan have to like or favor this individual?
“Mother, I don’t like her…” the little pipsqueak squirms closer into her mother’s arm, “I always feel like she’s scheming against me like some big bad wolf trying to abduct a white rabbit.”
Chuckling at her daughter’s perception and description, Bai Yan rea.s.sures the child with her soft mellow voice: “But you are not a little white rabbit silly.”
You’re a fox…
Want to abduct my Ling Yan? It won’t be so easy.
“Lady,” Gu Ya directly walks up to Bai Yan’s presence without a care despite the cold reception, “I did not know you were Ling Yan’s mother earlier, I only thought the child is the monarch’s granddaughter.”
That comment immediately brought a puckered li[ to the child, “Grandpapa have been looking everywhere for my mother, everyone in the manor already knows about it!”
Gu Ya’s façade crumbled a bit after being called out. However, her thick skin prevailed and the woman quickly recovered. “That is because I am not living in the manor, I wouldn’t have known that detail. Do not misunderstand me Ling Yan, if I had known she’s your mother then I would never have stopped her from coming inside. Furthermore, it wouldn’t 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.”
Simply said, she’s implying Bai Yan didn’t have the qualifications to enter even if she didn’t intervene with that lie. For Gu Ya, she could force herself to like the pipsqueak for Heavenly Flame’s sake. But for Bai Yan who came out of nowhere, she only had disgust for the demon queen.
“Liar!” Ling Yan huffs a grunt and proudly c.o.c.ked her chin at the other side, “Mother, I don’t like to see this liar, can we go back inside and nap?”
Gu Ya’s face changed completely, causing her breath to stutter at how rude she’s being treated. If not for her years of training in keeping her manners, the woman would’ve long lost it. “Ling Yan, you misunderstood me, I really do like you, I’m only looking out for you since I’m afraid someone might use you to their advantage.”
