Chapter 1771: Big Doggie? X
Feng Ruqing never looked at Zhang Qinle again as she walked slowly toward the door with Xia Xia in her arms.
It was not until the beam of sunlight outside the door fell on her body that her heart gradually warmed.
“Xia Xia… Did I scare you just now?” she lowered her eyes and asked gently.
Xia Xia shook her head. “No… I’m not afraid.”
“Xia Xia, we’ve tried to protect you well. We thought that you would not be in any danger as long as you were within General Manor. We never thought these things would happen to you… It’s my fault…”
If it were not for her negligence, Xia Xia would not have been in danger.
“Mother…” Xia Xia held Feng Ruqing’s hand, her eyes as clear as water.
Feng Ruqing smiled and said, “So, you have to start cultivating. I am your mother. As long as I am by your side, I will always protect you. I will never let anyone hurt you. But… I will not always be around to keep an eye on you. The only way you can cope with these people is to be strong… Stronger than them.”
Xia Xia was stunned. She bit her lips pitifully.
‘So in the future, I can only cultivate at home and can no longer go out to play?’
“Xia Xia, I will also work with you to become stronger because… If I am strong to the extent that n.o.body can beat me, I’m sure no one will dare to touch my daughter.”
She knew that she was not powerful enough…
So powerful… That even Nine Gate feared her… And no one would dare to come looking for trouble with her daughter.
“Alright, Mother.”
Xia Xia sniffed and leaned against Feng Ruqing. “Xia Xia will listen to Mother, be good and cultivate. Xia Xia won’t let Mother worry again.”
‘And won’t let Big Doggie get hurt again just to protect Xia Xia…’
When she thought of the silver wolf, Xia Xia’s eyes were red, and she almost cried again.
She did not know how the silver wolf was doing now. Its condition was quite bad that day, and it must have been injured. However, the silver wolf refused to say anything and left her alone in the mountain…
She wanted to say goodbye to the silver wolf, but there was no way to meet it again…
“Xia Xia, get ready. We’ll go pick up your grandmother tomorrow. After that, we’ll go to Nine Gate to settle the score.”
This time, she would not leave Xia Xia at home again. It was safer to take Xia Xia with her.
Xia Xia blinked. “Will Grandmother like Xia Xia?”
“Of course!”
Feng Ruqing’s heart softened as she thought of Suyi.
She did not know how Suyi was doing in the Nan family. Were they bullying her?
To find Xia Xia, she had been delayed from arriving at the Nan family for a few days. She was quite worried about Suyi…
“That’s good.”
Xia Xia smiled brightly.
“Mother, when do we leave? Xia Xia wants to see Grandmother. Does Grandmother also like to play with fire? Between Grandmother, Aunt Tang, and Sister Qing Han… Who is better at setting fires?
Feng Ruqing was speechless as she stiffened.
“No!”
“Oh…”
Xia Xia looked somewhat disappointed. She raised her head and said, “It’s alright, Xia Xia can teach her like how Aunt Tang had taught me back then. It’s easy!”
