Around the same time that Bai Long sent Yailing to meet with Bai Zhen, and Bai Xiu, he went to the Cao family"s courtyard with Linxin, Cao Ning, and Zhenya. "How do you feel Ning"er?"
While she did appreciate the intimate way Bai Long was calling her, Cao Ning knew that he wasn"t asking the question out of worry for her.
Instead, he wanted to know if she would go through with his plans, or back out in the middle.
"I"m fine, Master."
Smiling from having expected this answer, Bai Long slowed down and stopped in front of Cao Ning who within those few seconds had already started losing focus on reality and began daydreaming.
"Ning"er."
Coming to her senses immediately, Cao Ning immediately stopped herself from walking into Bai Long who was less than a few inches away.
"Master!"
Ignoring the shocked expression in Cao Ning"s face, Bai along wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
A little fl.u.s.tered from the unexpected hug, Cao Ning was a little stunned but quickly recovered and rested her face on Bai Long"s chest.
Using his hand to move the strands of hair which were falling on her face, Bai Long placed them behind her ear and then kissed her on the forehead.
"It"s fine if you don"t want to do this. I won"t blame you in the slightest."
This was the last chance Bai Long was going to give Cao Ning.
If she chose to back out now, Bai Long would be a little disappointed in her, but he wouldn"t get rid of her.
But, if she did something which could jeopardize his plan, he wouldn"t hesitate in the slightest and immediately throw her away.
Even Cao Ning who was enjoying the rare hugs of happiness and warmth also knew of this, and was about to say that she"d like to back out.
However, she knew that if she chose to back out now, her Master would definitely be disappointed in her.
Due to this, after not saying anything for almost a minute, Cao Ning gritted her teeth and came to a decision.
With her face returning to its usual calm expression, Cao Ning looked up towards Bai Long and showed a delighted smile as she said, "I"m never going to disappoint you, Master."
Smiling in return, Bai Long patted her head and said, "I knew that Ning"er. You"re someone I have a lot of trust in."
...
After that small break in their journey, the four individuals didn"t stop until they finally reached their destination. The Cao Family"s house.
The very same house that Cao Ning grew up in.
Looking towards Cao Ning through the corner of his eye, Bai Long saw that she wasn"t showing any signs of nostalgia, or any such things which made him feel happier.
"The rest is up to you Ning"er."
Nodding her head with the refreshed smile still on her face, Cao Ning began walking forward.
Cao Ning didn"t have any bad feelings towards her parents. In fact, if not for having been forced to marry the king, she probably would"ve still been in touch with her family.
But, after they forced her into a marriage she didn"t like, Cao Ning had broken off all connections with her family.
However, even then, she didn"t have any ill feelings towards them.
The only reason she was going along with Bai Long"s plan, even though it would cause many problems for her family, was because she finally had something to work towards in her life.
And to reach that goal she had, Cao Ning would do anything she needed to.
Even if it was to use her own family for it.
Walking forward, Can Ning took one last calming breath and pushed the sliding door open and disappeared inside the house.
Not even needing to be told anything, Linxin directly disappeared to secretly keep a watch on Cao Ning, and inform her son if she found anything wrong.
It wasn"t that Bai Long had any doubts about Cao Ning, but one could never be too sure, right?
...
Going inside the house she grew up in, Cao Ning didn"t try to hide her presence which allowed her mother to notice it pretty quickly.
"Ning.... Is that you?"
"Yes, mother. It"s me."
Rus.h.i.+ng towards her daughter whom she hadn"t met in almost twenty years, Yan Bingyan brought her into her embrace.
Seeing this from a third person"s perspective, one would think that they were seeing two sisters hug each other.
That"s how similar mother and daughter looked.
If there were any differences between them, Bingyan looked to be the older sister, and her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were a little smaller than Cao Ning"s.
Ths reason behind the difference in appearance was because even though Bingyan had a proper cultivation which allowed her to look younger, her cultivation wasn"t so high that she could look the same way her daughter did.
"Has your anger towards this old woman, finally died down?"
"Who in their right mind would ever call you old, mother? You look too s.e.xy for that."
Blus.h.i.+ng from being called "s.e.xy" by her own daughter, Bingyan was about to move back to get a proper look towards her daughter and see how much she had grown in these years.
But, with Cao Ning"s hands which were unwilling to part from her waist, Bingyan couldn"t move back.
"Ummm.... Honey? Are you... "
Before Bingyan could speak, her eyes suddenly turned wide from her daughter eyes which took a dive down and stopped on top of her a.s.s.
"Your a.s.s feels very soft even through your clothes, mother. I wonder how it would feel when naked."
"Ning? This... "Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Not waiting for her mother to say anything, Cao Ning began pulling her mother"s robe up until it was above her a.s.s, and then placed her palms on the two plump and soft b.u.t.t cheeks.
Once she did so, Cao Ning"s hands subconsciously squeezed causing her fingers to dig inside Bingyan"s supple a.s.s.
"Mmm.... Honey... Are you under some kind of spell? If you are, then you can talk to me."
