Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

…

On the street, Bai Xiaochen remained unaware of Bai Yan’s appearance as his little hand tightly hugged Bai Xiao’s thigh as the sun shone on his pinkish, smooth, jade-like skin.

“Uncle, Chen’er likes you. Why don’t you follow Chen’er home?”

Bai Xiao looked at Bai Xiaochen who was still clinging onto his thigh and his gaze warmed.

This little fella was soft and adorable, and there was a faint milky fragrance on him. He was like a little bun, really making one cannot help but wish to take a bite.

“Where do you live? Why don’t I send you back?” Bai Xiao’s hand gently rubbed Bai Xiaochen’s head as he smiled warmly.

Ever since he first saw this little bun, Bai Xiao liked him from the bottom of his heart.

“I…” Bai Xiaochen was delighted and was just about to reply Bai Xiao, but when he raised his head, he saw Bai Yan who was walking over with a dark look.

He was instantly shocked and released Bai Xiao from his hands as his footsteps quickly retreated.

I’m done for!

Why is Mother here?

“Elder Sis, why are you here?” a smile appeared on Bai Xiao’s face as he asked.

Bai Yan had a dark look as she swept a glance at Bai Xiaochen before moving her line of sight to Bai Xiao’s face. “Bring that little thing along and follow me!” 1

“This…” Bai Xiao was obviously stunned. He scratched the back of his head, feeling a little tangled. “Elder Sis, it doesn’t seem appropriate to kidnap and sell off a child.”

Bai Yan did not say a word. She turned around and walked straight up ahead.

Bai Xiao hesitated for half a moment before picking Bai Xiaochen up and gave a short laugh. “Little fella, although I really like you, but the world is big and the skies are wide. My elder sis is the greatest, so I can only offend you.”

He had originally thought that Bai Xiaochen would struggle, but who would have known that this little bun would obediently lay on his shoulders without moving and that the little cat, who was still proudly showing off earlier, would also follow after him with its head down as if it had done something wrong.

In the courtyard, it was clean and tidy.

Bai Xiao followed after Bai Yan and entered. His clear gaze was full of curiosity and when he was just about to ask, the lady before him stopped and sat down on a stone bench by the side.

“Do you know your wrongs?”

She lightly crossed her right foot, as her fingers, which were interlocked, were placed on the table. Dressed in red, her dominance was extremely obvious.

“Huh?”

Bai Xiao was stupefied. What did he do wrong today? Why was Elder Sister so angry?

Just as Bai Xiao was trying his best to thinking of what exactly he did wrong, he saw that Bai Xiaochen, who was flung over his shoulder, hop off.

Bai Xiaochen picked up Xiao Mi who was by the side and questioned it with an angry expression. “Xiao Mi, did you do something wrong to anger Mother? Why aren’t you quickly explaining yourself?! Leniency will be given if a confession is made. Strict discipline will come with resistance!” 1

Xiao Mi was utterly dazed. Was there anyone on earth that was more shameless than its own little master? Indeed, amongst the demon beasts, foxes are the most cunning and insidious!

“Mother.” Bai Xiaochen smiled as he looked at Bai Yan. “Xiao Mi says that he knows his wrongs. In the future, he guarantees that he won’t do it again. Why don’t you just forgive Xiao Mi.”

Mother?

Bai Xiao felt like his entire being was being blown into a mess in the wind. His eyes were full of astonishment and he looked at Bai Xiaochen before looking at Bai Yan with a gaze full of shock.

This little bun… was actually his own nephew?

“Bai Xiaochen!” Bai Yan slapped a palm onto the stone table. “Did you forget everything I’ve told you before?”

“Mother, it is Xiao Mi who had instigated me to go over. Even Bai Zhi had been scratched by Xiao Mi. It has nothing to do with Baby.”

Why did he previously insist on bringing Xiao Mi? Was it not for the sake of letting Xiao Mi be the scapegoat? Anyway, he would never admit that this was his idea. 1
