Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Nai Nai,” Liao Nai, who was selecting gifts for his friends, heard Liao Ning’s voice and glanced up from the Al. “Aunt, you’re a girl too. Tell me, what gifts do you girls like?”
As Liao Ning settled beside him, the butler exited the room, allowing the aunt and niece to converse privately.
“A plush toy. Furry ones are the cutest!” Liao Ning offered her suggestion.
“I agree. Let’s go with this bear doll then!” Liao Nai had already seen numerous dolls, yet he still believed that this brown bear was the most adorable. It was as cute as Mili.
“It’s truly adorable. Remember to get some rest after making your choice.”
“Got it! Goodnight, Aunt!”
After Liao Ning reminded him, she returned to her room. Following a relaxing shower, she drifted off to sleep.
The following day, when Liao Ning descended the stairs, Liao Nai was already seated in the dining area, eating bread and drinking milk that Liao Ning had prepared beforehand. Zhou Ling sat at the table, attending to some documents.
Liao Ning greeted them. “Good morning.”
“Good morning, Aunt!” The young wolf cub still had a mouthful of bread, muffling his words.
Zhou Ling looked up and smiled at her. “Let’s have breakfast first. Afterward, we’ll go pick up Mili.”
As Liao Ning and the other two entered the flying car and headed towards the Ping family, Mili had just awakened to the gentle voice of Ping Ye’s mother.
“My adorable Mili, I made your favorite sunny-side up sandwich today!” Ping Ye’s mother lovingly changed Mili’s clothes and gently patted her little head.
“Thank you, Grandma Ping. Once I freshen up, I’ll head to the kitchen, ” Mili replied, rubbing her eyes and yawning.
After Mili freshened up and had breakfast, Ping Ye informed her, “Your uncle is coming to pick you up today.”
“!!” Mili turned her head and stared at Ping Ye, using her eyes to question the truthfulness of his words.
Ping Ye reached out and gently touched her head. “It’s true. Don’t be afraid.”
When this young lady first arrived at their house, she resembled a little hedgehog with her defensive spikes. Whether it was Ping Ye or his parents, she always remained on guard.
During this time, they had put in a lot of effort to gradually earn the girl’s trust. A smile slowly appeared on the little girl’s thin face, and with the meticulous care of Ping Ye’s mother, her frail body started to regain some weight.
Ping Ye couldn’t fathom what kind of environment had caused this precious daughter of his parents to become so insecure. If Mili’s missing parents were to see their beloved daughter like this, their hearts would surely ache.
Not long after Mili heard the news, there was a knock on Ping Ye’s door. “Hello,
I’m Zhou Ling. I’m here to take Mili home.”
Mili immediately recognized Zhou Ling’s voice and rushed to the door. Ping Ye, with his long strides, walked to the door and glanced at the video screen. Confirming that it was indeed Zhou Ling outside, he opened the door and welcomed Zhou Ling and the others inside.
“Young Uncle!” Mili threw herself into Zhou Ling’s arms.
“I’m sorry, Mili. I came back late,” Zhou Ling apologized, feeling the dampness of his niece’s clothes. He knew she had been crying, and his heart ached.
Mili buried her head in Zhou Ling’s arms and shook her head. “It’s not Young Uncle’s fault. They are too wicked!”
Liao Ning held Liao Nails hand and stood beside them, observing. The system notification chimed in, and Liao Ning finally received the long-awaited mission information about Villain No. 2: [Ding—Congratulations to the host for successfully making contact with Villain No. 2. Villain No. 2’s evil value is now at 5%. You have successfully prevented an increase in the evil value. Reward: 500 points.]
Liao Ning arched her eyebrows, surprised by how easily she had managed to avoid the plot where the evil value skyrocketed. It seemed that as long as Zhou Ling successfully evaded the deadly situation, Villain No. 2 wouldn’t completely succumb to evil.
While Liao Ning observed the little antagonist, Liao Nai’s gaze was also fixed on Mili, who sobbed in Zhou Ling’s embrace.
Liao Nai hadn’t anticipated that his seemingly invincible good friend had such a vulnerable side. Recalling the hardships his friend had faced before, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy.
Fortunately, Uncle Zhou Ling was still alive. Luckily, he and his aunt had encountered the gravely injured Uncle Zhou Ling and rescued him. Otherwise, he didn’t dare imagine what fate awaited Mili if she were to return to that terrifying family after Uncle Zhou Ling’s demise..
