Bai Yan didn’t react to that last statement and instead brought the tiny body back into her fold in case the other side does anything unexpected.

  “So you really like me?” Di Ling Yan asks with skepticism.

  Evoking an arcing smile at being responded, “That’s right, I really like you, this includes the monarch as well. I merely don’t want you to be used by others, even if this other is your own mother.”


  “Is that so?” The pipsqueak attaches herself onto Bai Yan’s breast with that head, “If you really like me then can you not appear before me?”


  Gu Ya fell into a stupor there, unable to process why the conversation took such a sudden turn.

  “I don’t like you, seeing you puts me in a bad mood. If you really like me like you claim then you will do as I request.” That said, the pipsqueak jumps out of that bosom and spoke in a very cutesy manner: “Like Grandpapa already said, he doesn’t like you so why do you keep hanging around us? Don’t you know your behavior is very annoying?”


  Gu Ya’s face suddenly went white, causing those red lips to purse into a thin thing that looked all pitiful and sad.

  “Ling Yan, I’m just…”


  “Mother,” the pipsqueak throws herself back into Bai Yan’s bosom and snuffed that little head into those breasts to not give the other side a chance, “this baddie wants to put a rift between our relationship. If Mother does need Ling Yan’s help… then I would be so happy if that’s the case!”


  That’s a given, who wouldn’t want to help their own mother that’s given so much care since she was born. From education to diaper changing, Bai Yan has done it all in the mountain. Not many families would have to go through what they experienced in this life, therefore the bonds they share are beyond strong.

  “My Ling Yan is so good, mother is happy to have a sweet daughter like you.” Sugar to her ears, Bai Yan makes a grin right from the heart as she rubbed that head: “Don’t worry sweetie, I will be sure to ask if mother ever needs the help.”


  “Really?” Di Ling Yan’s eyes lit up, her iris sparkling with starry light: “Ling Yan is not as strong as Big Brother but I will do my best if Mother ever asks.”


  Bai Yan did not say more to her daughter after that. Turning to meet the unwelcome individual, the demon queen’s tenderness recedes in that moment and showed nothing but a frosted chill.

  Against this open display of hostility, Gu Ya instinctively stumbled backwards at the intensity of that gaze. Clenching her lips, she resentfully snickered a disdainful snarl at the provocation. Of course, that’s all kept inside beneath that elegant mask of hers, never would she show her true self.

  If only I can hook up with the monarch, I will definitely give him a child far better than this one. They will be sensible and kind, the polar opposite of this rude brat! Furthermore, I will never use my own baby as leverage in a scheme, I will only think about their happiness, that’s how a mother should behave.

  “Ling Yan, I’m only wanted to help, now it seems my goodwill is unwarranted.” Gu Ya puts on a bittersweet smile, “I hope you will not regret your decision in the future.”


  Giving a final glance at the pipsqueak, she decisively turns away without looking back.
