Chapter 1170 “Familiarity (5)”
The girl urgently grasped onto the trembling woman’s shoulder as those tears slowly trickled down the cheeks. Thankfully the situation wasn’t as bad as it seems because she soon got a reaction from all that crying.
Still blurry in her eyes as she slowly opened them, Bai Ning could only make out the blurry outline of the person beckoning to herself. “Daughter, is that you?”
Ning Yu’s posture went stiff over that question. She knows very the ‘daughter’ mentioned here wasn’t herself so it could only be that one….
Grasping onto her own head again in pain, the woman murmurs out some incoherent words: “Daughter, I remember I have a daughter, she is… I can’t remember the name, the name….”
Now this didn’t sit well with the petite girl at all and made her extremely sour inside. She’s not willing to accept some random person whom they never to could be so important, it’s just not fair in her eyes.
“Auntie Ning, I can also be your daughter, I will take care of you for the rest of my life.” Ning Yu’s voice was crisp and pleasant, but what she said there caused the pained lady to come back to her senses.
Gradually loosening her hand around the head, the blurriness left those eyes and what came into view was the reflected image of the anxious young girl staring downwards. “Yu’er, it’s you, I’m sorry, I’ve lost my manners there.”
“Auntie Ning!” Ning Yu clenched her teeth with insecure filled eyes, “Just now… did you remember something?”
Shaking her head with a bittersweet smile, the lady explains: “No, my past is still a blank to me, I can’t remember anything notable.”
Sure enough, the negative answer brought on a wave of relief to the girl. Thank goodness she can’t remember. Even if I can’t become Auntie Ning’s daughter, I can still accompany her in the future….
“Its fine if you can’t remember the past Auntie Ning, I will always accompany you.” Innocent but firm in the face, the petite girl meant what she said there.
Naturally this idea didn’t escape the lady herself who knew exactly what the girl wanted. Sadly, she too knew such a wish couldn’t be granted from her end, and for that, she’s sorry.
“Yu’er, I want to go take a walk outside so don’t inform your father of my leaving. I don’t wish to see him for the time being.” Making a long exhale, she stood up and was ready to leave when her arm got hooked by the girl’s.
“Wait Auntie Ning, I’ll go with you. It’s been a while since I went outside because Pa wouldn’t let me go out alone, but I’m sure he will be fine with it if I go with you.”
In the end Bai Ning accepted the idea out of guilt. She couldn’t bear to reject the girl right now.
“Fine then, follow me.”
Jumping with joy: “Auntie Ning, I knew you are the kindest to me!”
“You,” pinching the girl’s nose with her fingers, Bai Ning draws a doting smile like in the past after flattered.
Normally this would be a good thing. However, in this case, Ning Yu couldn’t help but feel like the lady’s looking through her and to someone else entirely. It’s making her very much uncomfortable inside.
No matter, I will kick that girl out of her heart and take over soon enough. The girl inwardly vows, not willing to surrender the position to anyone.
