Chapter 1173 “Familiarity (8)”
The boy’s words brought warmth to the lady’s heart because this feeling of being needed hasn’t been felt in her for a long time….
“Sweetie, come with me, I’ll bring you and your sister somewhere to rest. From now on no one can hurt either of you anymore with me around.” Her promise sounded like it was meant for the kids to hear, but in truth, its also meant for herself as a vow in this case.
Back in the corridor of the inn, Ning Yu has been staring back and forth for signs of her Auntie Ning ever since the woman left for a stroll. That face showed she’s very anxious and didn’t like being left alone. Fortunately for her though, this girl didn’t need to wait long and soon caught a glimpse of the long-awaited figure.
Racing over and ready to cry out, Ning Yu was happy in that split second, that was until she noticed the others tagging along with the lady, specifically the two kids that’s making the woman giggle with laughter.
This made her unhappy, very unhappy indeed because those fists had crunched up into a ball at this point. Nevertheless, she gathered herself after inhaling deeply to confront the situation.
“Auntie Ning, you’re back! These two fellas are….” She asks with a forced smile.
“Oh, they’re both someone I met outside during my stroll. The boy’s name is Bai Xiachen and the girl is Dragony. I saw that they are homeless and decided to take them in.”
What the lady didn’t tell was the little guy would make her excruciatingly happy. Merely a single phrase would be enough to make her giggle with laughter, just like the beginning scene when she entered Ning Yu’s gaze.
“Hello little boy, little girl, my name is Ning Yu, I’m happy to meet the both of you.”
The boy blinks and blinks, responding with a question instead: “Auntie, what is your relationship with Pretty Granny?”
Having a kid call her a title far beyond her own age was, well, damning for the girl herself. Going stiff in the face like a cracked template, it’s difficult for Ning Yu to hold back the temper from her expression. “You should call me sister!”
“But…” Getting all teary, Bai Xiachen really baked in the sad face, “If you’re calling her auntie and we’re calling her pretty granny, wouldn’t it be wrong to call you sister?”
Bai Ning couldn’t bear to let this continue after seeing the boy’s somewhat distraught face. Using a gentle voice to correct the girl, “Yu’er, he is still a child so you shouldn’t get hung on some title or name. Besides, he didn’t address you wrong considering all things. He’s a child I took in as a grandson earlier so he’s right to call you auntie.”
Ning Yu’s body froze in that moment.
She had tried for so many years in order to become Bai Ning’s daughter, yet some unknown wild boy and girl could do so without her knowledge and in such short timing? Ridiculous! Unfair!
“Auntie Ning,” pressing down her anger, Ning Yu knew she had to say something to keep up her own image. “I’m sorry, I am wrong, I shouldn’t have been angry with a child. It’s just… Auntie Ning is still so young. I only felt its bad to call you a grandmother.”
Chuckling at the flattery, the lady almost found it amusing to be called young. “I’m well over forty at this point, which part of me is still young? If I had a daughter then her children would be almost as big too. Therefore, it’s right of them to call me a granny. Besides, I really like this little guy so its fine.”
Pursing her lips until blood almost faded from that skin, Ning Yu really wanted to scream out in frustration. Thankfully for herself she had better reasoning than to argue the issue right now. There’s always another chance at another place, she’s not going to let this go!
