“Chirp, chirp, chirp!”

That’s right, why did you impersonate my little master?

Feng Yuanxi responded with a counter question, “Did he come by himself or with the adult?”

“Chirp, chirp, chirp!”

Why should 1 tell you?

“Even if you don’t say it, 1 can guess. He has been staying in the palace these days, accompanied by a powerful man and a guard named Jingfeng, right?”

“Chirp! Chirp, chirp, chirp!”

How did you know? Are you all in this together?

“He is my father.”

Xiao Bai widened his eyes in surprise.

“Did my father not harm your young master?”

“Chirp, chirp, chirp!”

My young master is so clever. Who would dare to harm him?

Xiao Bai raised his pointed chin proudly.

“That’s good.” Feng Yuanxi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he guessed correctly. Gu Xiaonan was safe with his father, so he could stay by his mother’s side with peace of mind.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp?”

Why don’t you go back to your father’s side?

“I want to stay by my mother’s side for a few more days. Can you keep it a secret for me?”

“Chirp, chirp, chirp?”

Mother? Why do you address young master’s mother as your mother? Why should 1 help you?

“Because I don’t have a mother.” Feng Yuanxi lowered his head. His long eyelashes hung down like feathers, covering the light in his eyes, looking pitiful.

Xiao Bai was moved by this.

“Xiao Nan doesn’t have a father either. He definitely wants to have a daddy, right? We can just swdtch places for a while. Once my father finishes his business, I will leave Tianjing, and we can switch back then, okay?”

Xiao Bai recalled several times when his young master held him in his arms, hiding in a deserted corner, yearning for his father. In an instant, Xiao Bai understood the feelings of this little boy.

But would his young master agree to this?

Thinking about the instructions his young master gave him earlier, Xiao Bai hesitated.

“Xiao Bai, can you promise me? 1 have never had a mother since 1 was little, and I don’t even know what she looks like…”

Feng Yuanxi pitifully pleaded his case.

As he looked at Xiao Nan’s face concealed behind Gu Xiaonan’s disguise, a sense of familiarity washed over him. It was difficult for Xiao Bai not to be touched by the sight of that beloved little face.

“Chirp, chirp!”

1 have to ask my young master.

“Then, you remember to speak well of me,” Feng Yuanxi flashed a big smile, “Thank you, Xiao Bai.”

“Chirp, chirp!”

Xiao Bai waved his paw.

Feng Yuanxi carried Xiao Bai and walked to the door.

“Xiao Nan, where are you going?”

Gu Qingluan heard the commotion and turned to look.

“Mother, Xiao Bai needs to go pee.”

“I’ll call a servant,” Gu Qingluan worried that Xiao Nan might get lost.

“No need to trouble them. Xiao Bai knows the way.” Feng Yuanxi opened the door and let Xiao Bai out.

“Goodbye!” He waved at Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai glanced at him and then ran away.

Feng Yuanxi heaved a sigh of relief and closed the door.

Gu Qingluan reminded him, “Don’t close the door completely, or Xiao Bai won’t be able to come in later.”

“Alright.” Feng Yuanxi left a gap in the door and returned to her side, both watching the auction together.

On the second floor, in a certain VIP room.

Feng Tianlan sat calmly on a chair, gazing at the elevated stage outside.

The building was specially designed so that people inside the VIP room could see the live auction, but those outside couldn’t see what was happening inside the room.

Sitting next to him, Gu Xiaonan kept fidgeting in his seat, completely uninterested in the auction.

It wasn’t until the door was opened, that Xiao Bai rushed in from outside.

Jingfeng followed closely behind.

“Xiao Bai!” Gu Xiaonan exclaimed with joy, leaping off the chair and looking eagerly behind Jingfeng with big eyes.

“Chirp, chirp!” Xiao Bai jumped into his arms.

“What about Mother? Didn’t you bring her?”

Not seeing Gu Qingluan, Gu Xiaonan felt greatly disappointed..
