117 Little Brother
“Bun, can you tell Mother what happened just now?”
Compared to Little Sweetcake, Bun’s narrative was more organized and clearer.
“When I woke up, my sister was already crying from fright. Those people were probably coming to catch Sweetcake and me, but the Little Brother Daddy had saved at the auction was biting the bad guy’s neck and not allowing them to approach us. They were fighting fiercely, and then Sweetcake’s kitten rushed in.”
Yunran learned what had happened from him and figured out who “Little Brother” was.
“So it’s him!”
Yun Ran thought that Mo Beiyuan had already sent the child away.
The little girl in Mo Beiyuan’s arms was grabbing his father’s lapel and complaining aggrievedly.
“Father, Sweetcake is obedient. Why did the old demon come to catch Sweetcake?”
No matter how talented the little girl was, she was still a three-and-a-half-year-old child.
Perhaps it was because someone had used the tale of an old demon capturing disobedient children to scare her in the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
The little packrat did not know that the attackers were wearing ghost masks. Instead, she thought that those people were old demons who looked like that.
Mo Beiyuan could feel that the little packrat in his arms was really frightened. At this moment, her small body was still trembling slightly.
He answered the little packrat’s question in a low voice, “They went the wrong way.”
Yun Ran was speechless.
He could only coax Little Sweetcake with these words.
“Wrong way?”
Sweetcake blinked her misty eyes and her mood improved a lot.
“Father, whose house were those old demons going to?”
Mo Beiyuan did not expect this little girl to recover so quickly and even planned to continue this topic with him.
“They were going… next door…”
“Next door. Are there obedient children next door?”
“Yeah.”
“Sweetcake doesn’t like old monsters. Old monsters eat children.”
“Yes, Daddy doesn’t like them either.”
The little girl seemed to have found a sense of security in his arms. After a while, she fell asleep on his shoulder again.
Afraid that she would wake the little packrat in his arms if she spoke too loudly, Yun Ran shifted her body and raised her neck to his ear. She lowered her voice and said, “Mo Beiyuan, when she has slept a while longer, carry her out. This room is too dirty.”
Even the bed curtain could not hide the pungent smell of blood. Yun Ran could not let them stay in the room any longer.
As she got closer, Yun Ran’s warm breath sprayed on Mo Beiyuan’s ears and neck. He immediately stopped breathing.
He clearly knew that she did this in order not to wake the little packrat up and had no other thoughts, but because of the Gu poison, Mo Beiyuan still could not control the changes in his body.
His Adam’s apple bobbed as he agreed hoarsely.
Yun Ran thought of something else and whispered into his ear, “Wrap her in a blanket when we go out later. It’s a little cold outside. She’s not as strong as Bun and can catch a cold easily.”
“Alright, I understand.”
The two of them answered in a low voice.
Mo Beiyuan felt that they were like a loving couple from an ordinary family. They were huddled together and talking intimately.
And he didn’t hate the feeling.
Yun Ran did not think too much about it and handed the two children to Mo Beiyuan to take care of.
On the other hand, she left the room and went to the courtyard with the anger she had been suppressing.
Thunderbolt happened to bring the little ghoul over. When he saw Yun Ran, guilt flashed across his face.
“Miss Yun, are the two little masters alright?”
