This throbbing sensation was unsettling her to the point of wanting to escape from this place. Nevertheless, Bai Yan suppresses that inner panic away to allow the man to continue his way.
“Di Cang, I…” Biting her lips, she wanted to say something there only to be smothered by another pair of lips.
“Be good,” his voice warm and soothing to her ears, “I need to leave for a few days. Wait for me here okay?”
In response, Bai Yan subconsciously turns away, avoiding the man’s gaze like the act alone would be able to stop that emotion from spilling forward.
Towards this display, Di Cang didn’t press for more, only leaving a kiss on her forehead as a memento before releasing his hold: “I will be back soon….”
Minutes after being left alone again, Bai Yan was still stuck in her bedazzled state of emptiness. She didn’t move, only idly staring at the doorway where the enchanting man left from.
“Ahumph,” the sudden cough brings her back to attention.
“Brother, how come you are here?”
“Sister, are you thinking of Brother-in-law?” Bai Xiao’s mischievously chuckles at her state, finding it amusing how rattled his sister was.
Bai Yan didn’t respond to that question, only silently standing there like she’s unsure what to say.
“Sister, Brother-in-law seems to be behaving very well in front of you, why are you not accepting him?”
The teen’s eye was filled with complication. Reasonably speaking, such a wonderful prospect should be a no brainer for most woman.
“I know,” Bai Yan makes a wry smile.
Back when she first met Di Cang, the man was arrogant and domineering like a bloodthirsty beast; however, that very same man never once harmed herself in light of all that and would even maintain a protective stance around her existence.
Naturally that gave Bai Yan the impression it was all for her son’s sake, but now she didn’t know what to think of all that…..
“Since you know, then why are you…”
“Brother,” interrupting the teen’s word, “Today Xiachen almost fell into danger, that was all caused by him even if it was an indirect cause.”
Bai Yan knows, because of her carelessness, she and her son would’ve been in great peril today if not for Di Cang appearing in the nick of time.
In the end my strength is still not enough!
“Sister…” Bai Xiao stares at the woman with surprise in his eyes.
Xiachen almost fell into danger? How could I have missed something so important!
“With the strength I have right now, I still can’t stand in the same stage as him. He may be able to save us this time, but what about the future? The dangers that comes with being by that man is endless, I can’t risk such a decision….”
And there’s still the question of choosing between herself and the Demon Realm. If the crossroad does arise and present itself, which would he pick? All of these questions must be answered before she could give everything up.
“Sister, I don’t understand this all that well, but…. No matter what happens, I will always stand by your side and support your decision. Even if it is Di Cang or anyone else of similar stature, they won’t stop me from shielding you from your happiness.” The teen’s eye was exceptionally firm and concrete there, thus raising a current of warmth in the receiver.
“Do not worry, once I have enough strength to protect myself from those old relics then nothing can stop me then,” she readily grips onto her brother’s hand, assuring the boy with her own warmth.
