Some words should not be spoken lightly. At midnight, Gu Ningyue indeed heard a rustling sound.
After recovering her memory, she became very vigilant, and such sounds naturally couldn't escape her ears.
She leisurely opened her eyes, only to see that the originally tightly shut window had somehow been opened a crack, and the white curtains were gently swaying in the breeze.
In the soft moonlight, a faint shadow danced on the ground.
Soon, a little figure climbed the decorative railings of the balcony, nimbly moving inside.
In the darkness, Gu Ningyue closed her eyes again, a smile playing on her lips.
Luckily, the balconies of the Ling Family were connected; otherwise, with those short legs, it would have been a dream to think of coming over.
After a while, a cold little hand touched her forehead, accompanied by a gust of eerie wind by her ear.
A face smeared with bloodstains was close at hand, but before it could speak, the woman on the bed suddenly sat up in the dark, startling Ling Xuan: "Ah!"
Gu Ningyue laughed heartily, watching Ling Xuan as he covered his little mouth and took several steps back, "This is it?"
Ling Xuan was startled, and perhaps finally realizing he was supposed to be the scary one, he felt a bit embarrassed: "You, you, you weren't even sleeping!"
Gu Ningyue nodded with a smile, pinching Ling Xuan's face under the moonlight: "First, climbing through windows is what thieves do. Do you know what a thief is? It's a burglar!"
Ling Xuan retorted immediately, "This is my own home! I'm not a burglar!"
Though he was still young, he understood what Gu Ningyue meant.
"Oh, really?" Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Xuan, her eyes in the moonlight carried a compelling presence, instantly making the originally bold Ling Xuan feel a sense of fear.
This kind of feeling, he had never seen even in the strictest demeanor of his grandpa.
In an instant, he seemed to think he was indeed in the wrong.
Seeing him lower his head slightly, Gu Ningyue continued, "Second, there's a big price to pay for playing pranks too much!"
Ling Xuan blinked, not quite understanding what she meant.
Gu Ningyue asked him, "Tell me, have you ever tried scaring your uncle?"
Ling Xuan shook his head, he wouldn't dare; his uncle was scarier when angry than his dad.
Gu Ningyue said, "Exactly! Your uncle is getting older. If you scare him like this, he might end up in the hospital, and it could be serious! You might not have an uncle anymore!"
Ling Xuan frowned, "You're talking nonsense, my uncle looks very strong. You're cursing my uncle!"
This little one was unexpectedly protective of Ling Tianyou. "Some people may look healthy, but they're not. Your uncle is like that!"
Ling Xuan thought for a moment, then looked up and asked, "They say you have mental illness? Is that true?"
Gu Ningyue was taken aback, then suddenly became serious as she looked at Ling Xuan, "Yes! If you scare me, when I get an attack, it's terrifying."
Perhaps her gaze was too frightening, Ling Xuan shrank his neck and asked, "What, what would happen?"
"That's hard to say!" Gu Ningyue reached out and rubbed Ling Xuan's head, "As long as no one scares me, I'm just fine. If someone scares me, I might die!"
Ling Xuan said nothing, seemingly finally understanding fear.
Seeing this, Gu Ningyue didn't continue to scare him but said gently, "So, you can't do this anymore, understand?"
Ling Xuan nodded, and Gu Ningyue released him, letting him return.
"Hmm? Still leaving through the window?"
The little one paused and turned to leave through the door.
After the door closed again, Gu Ningyue lay on the bed, thinking that the brat wasn't that hard to coax after all!
Little did she know that Ling Xuan hadn't really understood her words; it was the imposing demeanor of her gaze that subdued him.
The next day at dawn, Gu Ningyue woke up to find it was already 9 a.m.
She was a bit startled, "Why did I sleep so late? Oh no, oh no!"
Would this leave a bad impression on the Ling Family?
She quickly got up, dressed, washed, and when she opened the door, she heard bursts of laughter.
Gazing downstairs while holding the railing, she saw Ling Tianyou coaxing Ling Xuan in the living room, playing with building blocks.
"Awake?" Liu Liu came over from not far away, smiling at Gu Ningyue, "Mom and Dad had something to do and left with Tianze early. I just made breakfast, come and eat!"
"Ah! Okay, thank you," Gu Ningyue said, catching a glimpse of Ling Tianyou from the corner of her eye.
He was looking up at her, then lowered his head to cajole Ling Xuan again.
The four of them gathered around the table, Liu Liu coaxing Ling Xuan to eat more.
But Ling Xuan didn't like eating, and despite being coaxed for three bites, he only reluctantly took one.
Gu Ningyue quietly drank her soup, glancing at Ling Xuan but saying nothing more.
It was Ling Tianyou who reprimanded, "Xuanxuan, eat your meal properly."
Ling Xuan glanced at Ling Tianyou, unwillingly swallowing a mouthful of rice.
"Luckily you're home today, otherwise without his grandpa here, he really doesn't cooperate at all." Liu Liu sighed, "This kid has been eating poorly recently. It's a time for growing, if this continues, he'll never grow well!"
Ling Tianyou paused while picking up food, "Xuanxuan, did you hear what your mom said? You need to eat properly!"
Ling Xuan pouted, "But I want to eat ice cream, want to eat chips, not rice!"
"Those have no nutrition! You can't eat them, understand?" Liu Liu wiped Ling Xuan's mouth with a napkin, "If you keep eating those, you won't grow tall or strong! Doesn't Xuanxuan want to play basketball with his uncle when he grows up?"
"Hmm," Ling Xuan responded, eating a meatball with Liu Liu's hand, "But Uncle looks so tall and still no good, so eating well doesn't work, Mom!"
"Pfft!" Gu Ningyue almost choked on her soup, "Cough, cough..."
"Xuanxuan, who told you that?" Although Ling Tianyou asked Ling Xuan, his eyes were staring intently at Gu Ningyue.
"It was Aunt said!" Ling Xuan quickly sold out Gu Ningyue, "Last night, Aunt said Uncle only looks good, but actually his health isn't!"
"Xuanxuan!" Liu Liu chastised.
"I'm full." Ling Tianyou put down his chopsticks, stood up, pulled out his chair, and turned to leave.
It seemed as if... he was very angry!
Gu Ningyue: "..."
Liu Liu: "..."
Nothing is more feared than sudden silence in the air.
Gu Ningyue was speechless and didn't dare to speak!
Question, what to do when the big guy is angry?
Waiting online, quite urgent!
