40 Nalan Daier Iv (1/2)

”Yummy.” Perhaps the Divine-Spirit Fruit was too delicious, as Nalan Dai'er finally let her guard down with a sweet smile hanging on her lips.

”Dai'er, it's late, why are you still hanging around outside?”

”My brother is not in a good mood. I want to buy him some osmanthus cakes, but I couldn't find them.” Nalan Dai'er blinked as she answered.

Indeed, there was a famous shop selling osmanthus cake in Southern Street. Nalan Jing must be extremely upset with the canceled engagement. Hence, Nalan Dai'er had snuck out to buy the dessert that he liked most to cheer him up.

Feng Ruqing sighed as she recalled the moment she saw the gloomy look on her cousin's face. It was a pity that she did not know about the canceled engagement when she met him.

”Dai'er, let me take you there.” Feng Ruqing got up and held Nalan Dai'er hands as she smiled.

As the night grew darker, the general's manor sank into chaos. The old general jumped out of his bed and led everyone in the general's manor in search of Nalan Dai'er.

Lady Nalan stood at the general's manor's door, staring anxiously into the distance, gripping a scarf tightly.

”General and Father had gone out for quite some time, have they found Dai'er?”

Nalan Dai'er was different from an ordinary kid. She started crawling only when she was one year old and was unable to talk when she was two. Only at the age of three did she learn to walk on her own. Moreover, she was weak and fragile. Hence, Lady Nalan had always been taking extra care of Nalan Dai'er. If anything were to happen to Nalan Dai'er, how was Lady Nalan going to live her life?

Lady Nalan wiped off her tears and sighed softly.
