Chapter 331 “It’s Good That She Likes It (2)”

Still stuffing his cute little mouth with cakes, Bai Xiachen answers using that muffled voice of his: “I don’t know either Mother.”

Even he doesn’t know? Bai Yan’s brow only got tighter and tighter following that answer, Then where did that lass go?

……

Somewhere else in the kingdom of Chi Xia, a certain young maiden was currently counting the flower petals in her hand while she waited for someone on the roadside outside the city.

“Brother!” Then out of the blue, she jerks up from where she sat due to the excitement emulating out of her eyes.

“What are you doing here?” Not missing the girl waving at him, Chu Yi Feng asks using his usual lukewarm reception.

Aside from treating Bai Yan and her son with a sense of warmth, no other person can ever raise her brother’s emotion. As such, Chu Yi Yi had long been accustomed to her brother’s attitude.

“I am here to wait for you,” making a giggle, Chu Yi Yi promptly rushes over to the man’s side like a good sister that she was, “You must come with me Brother, otherwise Sister-in-law really would be snatched away by Di Cang.”

Going stiff in the body, a flicker of indecision and struggle could be discerned from this usually emotionless man: “It’s fine so long as she likes it.”

It’s fine so long as she likes it…..

Stomping the ground in irritation, Chu Yi Yi nearly lost it: “Damn it Brother, now I finally know what’s the difference between you and Di Cang. Bai Yan has been with us in the Holy Island for several years, yet you never took a step forward with her. While Di Cang on the other hand, he’s already forced his way into her heart and occupied a significant spot.”

Di Cang is overbearing, shameless, and unreasonable in his pursuit. Whatever bad things a thug would do has been done, that’s how low he can become just for the woman that he wants. Then looking back at Brother here, he would only watch from behind so long as Bai Yan doesn’t permit anyone to draw close…..

Why can’t Brother be as shameless, then Xiachen would’ve become my nephew by now!

“Where is she now?”

After waiting all day for her brother and this was all the reaction she got. Talk about annoying!

“Brother, this time Di Cang is not around by her side. This is your chance, your chance you hear me? If you don’t make a move now then Bai Yan really would be snatched away by someone else.”

“Take me to her.” Finally, from those emotionless eyes, a tinge of urgency could finally be found.

……

Meanwhile at the same time over at the Dong family’s estate, a large group of heavily armed soldiers were currently surrounding the place. Because of this huge commotion, the attention of the passerby’s were quickly caught, all wondering what sort of crime has occurred to warrant such force.

Naturally this would also be the first scene that welcomed Dong Tian Ling and his family when they returned. Rattled by the big reception, he knew he can’t avoid this so he steeled his nerves and went inside.

Sitting there already in the reception hall were Old Lord Lan and his wife, and behind them were a series of fierce looking guards, each holding the newly entered Old Lord Dong in disgust with their eyes.

“Father,” coming out last from the crowd, Dong Roulan reveals a rosy smile at her parent-in-laws, “How come all of you are here?”

BANG!

Smashing down hard at the chair handle, Old Lord Lan was stern and loud in his voice: “If I didn’t come then I never would’ve of learned how horrible the Dong House’s been treating you all these years!”

“Father, please don’t get angry. I’m fine, see?” After seeing how flustered the old grandpa was getting, Dong Roulan immediately rushes over in persuasion.

It’s not that she wants to help plead for her maiden family, not now anyways. Rather she’s worried about the recently cured old grandpa from falling ill again after so many years of being constrained to the bed.
