Li Mo was taken aback, never expecting such a reply.
Cooking was a very normal thing for him.
"I think, Uncle Li Mo, you look really cool when you cook seriously."
Nowadays, men always think that men should be in charge of external affairs while women should handle everything at home, as if cooking is exclusively a woman’s job.
That is a mistake. But Li Mo was different; just by watching him cook, one could tell that for him, cooking was a form of enjoyment.
"Right, I also feel the same way, and it’s delicious too."
Bai Xin also spoke with a smile.
Li Mo, slightly embarrassed, smiled as well.
Li Mo got up early in the morning to buy breakfast—soy milk, fried dough sticks, and eggs.
After eating, Bai Xin took Bai Zhi to go check the accounts. They left Wu Wa to watch the house in case that woman came back.
Wu Wa said there was no problem; what she liked most was staying at home.
Bai Zhi and Bai Xin were chatting and laughing as they walked past the intersection when suddenly a car came head-on.
Bai Xin instinctively pulled Bai Zhi back, and at that moment, the car’s rear door suddenly opened, and Bai Xin was pulled inside.
It happened so fast that even though Bai Zhi grabbed Bai Xin’s other hand, her vision went dark in the next moment.
Before she collapsed, she thought she saw a familiar face.
Bai Zhi didn’t know how much time had passed before she struggled to open her eyes, only to find she couldn’t see anything. She opened her mouth to call for her aunt but couldn’t make any sound.
Her senses were sealed.
At this moment, Bai Zhi had no doubts.
What to do in this situation? Close her eyes, even though it made no difference whether they were open or closed.
But at this moment, she was trying to break through the acupressure points sealed by the Golden Needle.
Golden Needle seals the senses, a technique only Old Han knew—or rather, one other person.
"Didn’t expect it, huh? You can’t see or speak, yet you’re staying so calm. You’re pretty good, little girl, worthy of being a Bai Family child."
The speaker’s voice was very husky, sounding not feigned but like someone with a throat injury.
Bai Zhi showed no change in expression but was worried about her aunt and where she might be...
"Bai Da, come here and ask your daughter where the Jade Pendant is."
At that moment, she heard that voice call out Bai Da’s name.
Indeed, whenever she was down on her luck, Bai Da was involved.
"Little girl, want to see your dad? We’ve captured you, and you should thank your dad for that. He said what you care about most is your aunt, so capturing your aunt first wouldn’t be an issue. Your dad really cares about you."
The voice was still unpleasant to hear, and if she could speak, she would definitely tell him to shut up the first chance she got.
Then came the voice of Bai Da.
"I don’t have a daughter who wants to put me to death. I’m certain she has the Jade Pendant on her; although I don’t know its purpose, I know my dad treasured it and gave it to her half a year ago."
Bai Da’s voice came through, sounding as annoying as ever.
The next moment, Bai Da approached Bai Zhi, who instinctively stepped back.
Then someone came over, trying to hold Bai Zhi down.
"What is this? I’ve said to be gentle with the children. Bai Da, this is your daughter. How can you be so heartless?"
That person seemed surprised by Bai Da’s behavior, treating his own daughter so harshly.
