Chapter 1119: Chapter 1118: There! This is the Answer Chapter 1119: Chapter 1118: There! This is the Answer “You really won’t help?”

“No matter how many times you ask, the answer is the same, I won’t help!”

He turned his head away and closed his eyes to rest.

“You wake up for me! Heartless Wuxin, do you have any sympathy at all? I’m telling you, she is my own mom, the person in this world who has been the kindest and best to me! And you actually won’t help, I…”

The tiny fists she was waving were suddenly captured by a large hand!

Wuxin’s eyes slowly opened, with a storm raging violently in his pupils.

“You say she is this world’s kindest and best person to you? Do you really think so?”

What about all that he had done for her over the years, then?

Niuniu nodded boldly, not in the least bit intimidated by the fury in the depths of his eyes, “Of course! I only have this one mom… Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! No, that’s not right, ah! Your parents are gone, naturally you wouldn’t understand this kind of close bond between family members…”

Wuxin’s anger dissipated swiftly, “Family?”

Niuniu rolled her eyes!

“If my mom and I are not family, what are we? I think your brain is sick today, especially in the past half year, you’ve been so moody, always blabbering nonsense all day long. Someone who doesn’t know any better might think you’re on your period…”

“Di Yixin!”

The man, similar to a mutated lizard, changed color again! Immediately becoming red in the face and thick in the neck, he gritted his teeth, “Can’t you be a bit more civilized? You look all weak and delicate on the outside, but once you open your mouth, it’s terrifying.”

He had actually called her by her full name!

Niuniu cleaned her ears, “What did I do now? I just mentioned periods. We’re both healers, and healers have hearts like our parents. Talking about periods, what’s wrong with it? Want me to talk more about it…”

More than a few words?

She had actually said countless more, right?

Wuxin truly felt helpless, looking at that incessant little mouth so close to him, not able to restrain the surging affection any longer, he kissed her…

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, a brief touch of four lips, raising a tickling sensation, a bit of coolness, and the rush of heat in between the nose wings.

Niuniu’s unfinished words could no longer be voiced, as she stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded at the man in front of her.

He had indeed scared her!

Wuxin felt a twinge of heartache within, yet an arrow shot can’t be retrieved once released.

He lowered his head again, unable to resist kissing her once more, seeing that she was still stunned, he lingered on her small nose, taking a gentle bite.

“You’re always asking for a reason, huh! Well, here is your answer.”

He liked her, he loved her! From the moment he first saw her, he knew she was the one for him!

These words had been buried in his heart for far too long, so long that he didn’t dare to speak them. In his daily life, he always masked himself with indifference, afraid that his passion would frighten her, for she was so fragile, just like a porcelain doll…

Niuniu’s mind was booming thunderously, looking at the lips almost touching her own eyes, she felt completely dazed!

The only thought in her head was.

What kind of answer is this?

For the time that followed, Niuniu was completely befuddled.

At 14 years old, an age neither big nor small, she was constantly kept close by Wuxin. No matter how clever Niuniu was, theory and practice were completely different things!

Facing such a dilemma for the first time, she was utterly confused.

“What are you thinking about? Mom sees that you’ve been distracted ever since you got on the carriage.”

Liu Sisi had been forcing herself not to ask, but seeing that her daughter had been in the same state all the way, she couldn’t help but voice her concern.

“Ah… no, it’s nothing.”

At last, Niuniu woke up with a start, dodging Liu Sisi’s gaze with tiny whimpers and whines.

How could she say that she was still recalling that kiss from Wuxin, which had happened without a second thought…

Oh my! How embarrassing…

Her face burned, swiftly cloaking itself in a blush!

This child…

Liu Sisi couldn’t help but shake her head; when Niuniu had disembarked from Wuxin’s carriage earlier, her lips had been glossy, swollen in a ring.

Being someone who had been through it all, how could she fail to understand what had transpired?

However, under the scrutiny of many eyes, it was indeed not the right moment to ask questions, which is why she had endured until now.

But at this moment, she couldn’t hold back any longer.

Leaning over to her, she asked in a low voice, “You and Wuxin between you…”

“There’s really nothing going on between us, really!”

Niuniu, like a prickly little hedgehog, bounced up in alarm almost instantly as soon as Liu Sisi mentioned it.

Talk about protesting too much!

Liu Sisi shook her head, “Alright, alright, if nothing happened, then that’s good. Sit down!”

She soothed her, but her mind was racing–her beloved treasure must not fall prey to a pig!

That Wuxin actually dared to bully Niuniu right in front of her own eyes; this was not respecting her as a mother at all! It was a blatant provocation!

It looked like a conversation with Wuxin was inevitable!

That night, their horsemen traveled fifty miles southwards and indeed converged with Nan Tianzong and his group.

The siblings hadn’t seen each other in a long time. Upon reuniting, Liu Sisi immediately burst into tears, and even Nan Tianzong’s eyes reddened.

After sharing their farewells, Liu Sisi then introduced Niuniu and Chou Chou, who were behind her, to Nan Tianzong.

“When we parted, Niuniu and Chou Chou were only this tall, and now they’ve suddenly grown so much. Time really does make one age!”

Niuniu was demure with a playful twist, and Chou Chou was tall and handsome; the two children had both grown up!

“Isn’t that right! We’ve all grown old.”

Liu Sisi couldn’t help but laugh as well.

Unable to accept this, Niuniu grabbed Liu Sisi’s arm and shook it: “Mom, you’re not old at all. Whenever we go out, doesn’t everyone say we look like sisters? Chengen, right?”

Chou Chou quickly nodded in agreement: “Certainly. Whenever we go out, people always think I’m mom’s younger brother.”

“You two, always knowing how to make your mom happy.”

Liu Sisi laughed, but a moment later, the smile on her face gradually faded. She looked up at Nan Tianzong, “Big brother, it’s been hard on you this past year and more that Sisi has been in Xixia Country.”

“What are you talking about, we are siblings!”

Nan Tianzong couldn’t refrain from giving a firm pat on the head, “If big brother hears you say that again, I won’t let you off easily.”

“Big brother, I’m serious,”
Liu Sisi emphasized hurriedly, “Big brother, in the past Sisi always refused to face the facts, stubbornly believing that Ye Lei was still around…”

Nan Tianzong’s eyebrows shot up!

She choked up, her hands twisted together as she took a deep breath, “But now I understand, we have to consider those who are still alive, right? The children will soon be fourteen, and then there’s Xiaoxiao. When we visited Qingfeng Temple initially, it was agreed that Xiaoxiao would return home at the age of fourteen. I’m thinking, perhaps the time has come to erect a plaque for Ye Lei…”

“Put up a plaque? How did you suddenly come up with this idea?”

Nan Tianzong’s brows immediately furrowed.
