Chapter 1373 “To Trick a Child (5)”
Falling into a panic as the target leaves her reach, the maid wants to reach out to grab at the little glutton’s arm but stopped once she noticed the figure coming over.
“Jin Tian.” Bai Xiachen calls out as he hurriedly chased over with Di Ling Yan in tow. He was very much afraid he might’ve failed in keeping an eye out for his siblings.
But then that fear turned to rage at the sight of the chubby baby’s clueless face, “Where did you go?”
Scratching the back of his head in a guilty manner: “Just now a auntie wanted to take me for dinner, but I….”
He turns around towards the restaurant lobby, finding only emptiness from the rear aside from the noisy eating sounds of the patrons.
This revelation brought a stunned look to the little glutton, “Where did the auntie go?”
Frowning along his face, Bai Xiachen skeptically glances at the lobby as well: “What auntie are you referring to?”
“I don’t know. How strange, she was just here moments ago, why did she suddenly disappear?” Now tearing up along the face like he’s afraid of being called a liar, the little glutton turns to look up at his older brother for help. “Big Brother, I didn’t lie, an auntie was clearly here.”
Now getting all sinister in the eye upon realizing what’s going on, Bai Xiachen once again glances at the inner lobby of the restaurant, “I believe you.”
Jin Tian never lies, in other word someone was trying to abduct him with food! Otherwise why else would they run away once they saw us coming over?
“Big Brother, do you really believe I didn’t lie?” Tugging at the sleeve, Di Jin Tian asks again with a look that needs reassurance.
Rubbing that little head, “Jin Tian is not a bad child who lies, so of course I believe you.”
Besides, with Jin Tian’s IQ, he has no ability to lie at his age. Of course, he wouldn’t say that last bit aloud and kept it inside.
“Come, we will go home first in case Mother starts getting worried.”
It wasn’t easy for Bai Yan to let them out to play so he doesn’t want to lose the privilege by going missing.
“Then Big Brother, when can we go outside to play again?” Di Ling Yan asks with her big baby eyes.
Taken aback by the question, Bai Xiachen makes a frown along his face: “Mother won’t let us leave the city.”
In particular was how they still hasn’t located that Mu Xue. Until they are able to confirm that traitor’s location and capture her, there’s no way he could take these two babies out.
“Ohhhh~” Hanging her head dejectedly, the peachy girl sounded disappointed.
This place is too boring, it’s not as fun as the Sky Mountain.
……
Looking at the three siblings leaving the restaurant, the maid who’s been in hiding in the back finally came out. She didn’t utter a word, only clenching that fist with a gloom hovering over those eyes.
She knows what she’s doing would equate to betraying the Demon Realm, a crime worthy of death. But compared to watching her own younger brother dying at the hands of Mu Xue, she has no choice! The boy’s her only family in this world!
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely save you! Even if my fate is damnation at the end, I won’t regret it!”
Just when the maid wanted to turn away to look for another opportunity, a child voice from the rear sent her jerking in shock. In that moment she could say her heart’s about to fall out because she immediately recognizes who it was.
