so hours later,
After Yumo feigned sleepiness, the banquet inside the Marquis’s residence finally ca to an end.
Following that,
With the assistance of several maids, the adorable pink-haired girl was escorted away to prepare for bed. anwhile, Marquis Xiumu and his wife, Aurora, returned to their own bedroom after arranging for subsequent matters…
Inside the bedroom,
Seeing his wife’s lovely smile for the first ti in ages, Xiumu’s heart was naturally filled with imnse joy.
After pouring two glasses of wine, Xiumu leaned against the window with a sigh,
"Ah, it’s like a dream. I never thought that Xia’er would actually co back."
"Yes, it’s just like a dream."
Sitting on the bed, Aurora nodded ambiguously,
"But it’s not a dream. My girl has truly returned."
Recalling the timid little girl, Aurora’s eyes inevitably beca increasingly moist,
"If Yuan’er knew about this, she would be happy too, wouldn’t she?"
"Yuan’er, huh."
Hearing this na and sensing the lancholy in Aurora’s words, Xiumu gradually lost his smile, and looked out the window with a solemn expression. After a mont, the old marquis slowly turned to his wife and said in an encouraging tone,
"It’s alright, we will definitely find Yuan’er."
With that,
The old marquis gently approached and embraced Aurora, patting her back gently,
"Don’t worry, my wife. Xia’er has co back after four years, and Yuan’er will surely return as well. I will find our grandchild and reunite the sisters."
"Mm…"
Being comforted by Xiumu, Aurora’s unease was greatly soothed. The marchioness leaned against her husband, slowly nodding her head.
Thus,
The two silently leaned on each other for a long ti,
Until Aurora’s heart completely cald down, the old couple slowly separated.
After releasing his wife, Xiumu seed to have thought of sothing, and curiously looked at Aurora,
"By the way, my wife…"
"What is it?"
"Weren’t you going to sleep with Xia’er tonight? You’re worried that she’s not used to being back."
"Oh, I did ntion that."
"Well, aren’t you going to go?"
Upon hearing this, Aurora shook her head with a smile, "No need, the child is currently in an amnesiac state. She still harbors a bit of resistance toward . I’d better not disturb her."
Aurora’s words carried a hint of sadness,
After confirming that the pink-haired girl was her granddaughter, Aurora had been longing to get close to her once more, to hear her granddaughter affectionately call her ’grandma’ in that cute voice. However, Aurora also knew that Xia’er needed ti to adjust to her new identity and life.
Soti things cannot be rushed.
Nevertheless, Xiumu raised his eyebrows at Aurora’s words,
"That’s true, but Xia’er has always been afraid of being alone, hasn’t she? My wife, you’re leaving the child alone in such a large room? Aren’t you worried that she’ll have nightmares?"
"I have, of course, taken that into consideration."
"Really?"
" I arranged for Xia’er to share a room with Miss ngxi."
"With Miss ngxi?"
"Yes, you can tell that Xia’er and Miss ngxi have a pretty good relationship. Sharing a room with ngxi should ease her anxiety."
Recalling how her granddaughter was close to ngxi, Aurora couldn’t help but make this judgnt.
Marquis Xiumu also agreed with his wife’s judgnt, nodding slightly.
"Indeed, that might be a good idea."
--
On the other side,
Inside Xia’er’s bedroom,
Fresh out of the bath, ngxi wrapped herself in a thin bath towel, her damp body slowly entering the bedroom. Her already stunning beauty and figure, paired with a budding charm similar to a blooming flower, greatly enhanced her allure.
Yumo was almost certain,
If any man were to see ngxi like this, very few could resist. Even she, upon seeing ngxi’s fair and long legs and the faint outline of the softness wrapped in the towel, couldn’t help but blush.
However, faced with this enchanting scene, Yumo didn’t have the energy to truly appreciate it.
Because,
From the mont ngxi entered her room and erged from her bath, her beautiful silver-haired face remained expressionless, even slightly gloomy, making Yumo feel guilty.
’Is ngxi angry?’
Yumo couldn’t help but wonder,
Well,
Why would she be angry?
Because of the cat incident earlier?
That shouldn’t be it, right?
Besides, didn’t I already kick that cat back into the cetery?
Could it be?
Because she didn’t return to the guest house on ti today and sohow ended up with the identity of a Marquis’s daughter?
Co on, it’s not like I wanted this,...
Never mind,
I’ll try to comfort her first. If ngxi gets angry and won’t let follow her, that would be troubleso.
If that were the case, I might have to create a new identity to blend in...
Thinking this, Yumo, who was drinking juice, slowly jumped off the bed and placed the juice on the side table. Then, she carefully approached ngxi, took her hand, and asked in a cute, pitiful tone,
"Sister ngxi, what’s wrong?"
In response to the pink-haired girl’s question,
ngxi remained cold and aloof,
She even shook off Yumo’s hand and crossed her arms across her chest, clearly displeased.
Apparently,
ngxi was ’angry,’
This made Yumo feel a bit conflicted,
"Sister ngxi, did I do sothing wrong?"
"You promised to return to the guest house before noon, but where were you?"
"Well, that’s because I was taken away by the Marquis’s family. I didn’t intentionally fail to return on ti." Yumo’s tone was full of grievance.
"I don’t care!"
ngxi turned her head away stubbornly.
"Not keeping a promise is still not keeping a promise. And your sudden disappearance, were you trying to worry to death?"
"Sister, are you angry?"
"Yes, I’m very angry, and the consequences are severe!"
Hearing this, Yumo felt a little panicked, and an urgent thought to quickly appease ngxi rushed to her mind.
So, Yumo once again revealed her teary, pleading eyes,
"Wuwu, so, Sister ngxi, what can I do to make you feel better?"
Hearing this, ngxi slowly turned her head, looking coldly at Yumo. A hint of a ’excitent’ erged in her light purple eyes, but it vanished in an instant, not noticed by Yumo.
Then, ngxi slowly crouched down, looking seriously at the little girl in front of her,
"Promise one thing, and I won’t be angry anymore, and I’ll also, for the ti being, not spank you."
"Wha- What is it?"
"From now on, be my dedicated pillow, the kind that’s always available when I call. Even if I go to the headquarters of Asumos Church in the future, you’ll co with , and be my pillow~"
"Uh? A.., A, pillow?"
"Is it not okay?"
"Um, well, it’s not... not okay......"
Yumo was a little baffled, not understanding why ngxi, with such a serious expression, would make such a request.
But before she could figure it out, ngxi’s urging voice rang again in her ear, "So, is it okay or not!"
"Alright, alright..." Startled, Yumo weakly agreed.
"Humu~ Then let’s settle it like that!"
After getting Yumo’s affirmative answer, ngxi’s icy expression vanished, revealing her beautiful, radiant smile. In her heart, she felt a montary relief.
After all, after today’s events, ngxi had thought that Yumo might not continue to accompany her and would stay with the Marquis’s family as a marquis’s daughter. In that case, wouldn’t she lose her important power bank?! This made ngxi feel a little uneasy.
Although she was not sure what she would do with Sister (Yumo) in the future, ngxi still felt temporarily at ease after obtaining Yumo’s promise.
With that in mind, the young girl took a deep breath and slowly got up. Seeing the juice prepared by the maid on the side table, a sowhat exhausted ngxi picked up one of the glass directly.
Seeing this, Yumo was taken aback, "Sister, that, that’s mine......"
However, before Yumo could finish speaking, ngxi had already poured the juice into her mouth.
Monts later, ngxi, holding the juice glass, frowned slightly, "You, did you just drink from this glass?"
"Yes, yes, the other one is yours."
As she spoke, Yumo pointed awkwardly at the other brand-new glass of juice on the side table.
But ngxi didn’t say much. After feeling the increasingly vigorous energy inside her body, she looked at the glass’s mouth and then at Yumo’s pink lips.
At this mont, ngxi fell into a strange silence.
Yumo: "?? What’s going on??"
And our Yumo had an inexplicable bad feeling...
