Chapter 1567 “General Ling Kaiyuan’s Birthday (6)”
Bai Xiachen has never been shy since he was born and would honey up to anyone he meets. Therefore, he had no issue buttering up this newfound relative of his.
Though Bai Ran herself knows the little guy only said those words in order to please herself, nevertheless, its working like flower pollen to a bee. She’s very happy and that’s making her mood very delightful.
“This kid… he’s such a sweet talker and so lovable. Yan Yan, all of you should be tired by now after a long ride. Let’s go inside first, it’s windy out here.”
Just like that, the anticipated drama for these sour guests were promptly swept away after this brief greeting. Their faces were frozen on the spot and unsure of what to say. In particular was the bit about Bai Ran saying Bai Yan’s uncle was waiting inside. Anyone with a brain would realize this young lady and her kid was some sort of relative to the Ling household.
It can’t be… she’s Sir Ling Lang’s cousin?
“Mom, just now these people were talking about Cousin behind her back.” Ling Lang suddenly speaks up and points to the bunch nosy bitches near the entrance, “They not only said Bai Yan is my girlfriend, but they also tried to insult her.”
Bai Ran’s smile disappeared like a magic show in that moment. She’s glaring at the bunch.
“Auntie… you misunderstood, we did not mean any of that, we didn’t know she’s Sir Ling Lang’s cousin…” The lady wearing the bright red dress who openly chuckled spoke again, her demeanor awkward and losing color by the second.
Faintly nodding: “I see, you don’t need to explain. From what I can see, all of you don’t want to attend anyways since you’ve been standing around for so long on the outside. In that case, my father-in-law’s birthday doesn’t need anyone that doesn’t wish to stay. I will oblige your wish. All of you don’t need to attend now. Son, go ahead and send these guests away.”
After giving this dismissing order, the lady of the house promptly reached over to grab Bai Yan and the steambun’s hand to lead them inside. She’s back to her old joyous self like the unhappy moment didn’t occur.
“Come, let’s go inside. Yi Yi, quit standing there and come inside too, I’m sure you are getting cold too.”
Bai Yi Yi heard that of course despite how surreal this all seems to her. However, the lass didn’t follow like most would assume and instead she turned to Ling Lang who stood beside herself. Making a shy face: “Ling Lang, do you want me to help you show them out?”
In cases like these, a flirt like the guy should’ve picked up on the lass’s behavior since he’s known to be a playboy. Yet he didn’t, in fact, he’s downright oblivious in this situation. It’s not like Ling Lang was a dunce though, rather the females who pursue him are all very open and mature in these sorts of relationships.
“That’s great, you can help me then. Just don’t let these people bother my cousin.”
“Mmm…” Soft as a mosquito, her voice was so quiet that it would be difficult to catch there. Fortunately, Ling Lang’s ear had improved greatly since his rebirth and heard it.
Towards the two’s lovey dovey interaction, Bai Yan had caught it when she swung her head around before entering the old manor. It’s not difficult for the lady to see the pink sparks flying in the air, and for that, she’s starting to get some ideas in mind.
“Mother.” Bai Xiachen’s call suddenly brings the woman back to reality.
“What’s the matter?” She asks by looking down.
“Does Mother like Auntie Yi Yi a lot?”
Bai Xiachen scratches the back of his head due to the oddity of him saying that. He’s just not comfortable with that name since the other world had Chu Yi Yi who liked to play with him and cause trouble together.
“Mmm,” Bai Yan shows a faint smile like someone reminiscing the past, “she could be counted as one of the most caring people I know on Earth. When your grandmother passed away, it was Yi Yi who took care of me. She’s clearly younger than me, but she did everything nonetheless for me. I was foolish, not knowing when to cherish what I had until now.”
