46 Big Brother, Marry Me! (2/2)
Suddenly detecting the faint sound of childish giggles, Rin shifts her head in the direction of the sound to witness a petite girl running playfully through the garden.
The girl looked no older than four-years-old with her round milky cheeks and light brown hair tied neatly into two elegant buns. The girl's rosy cherry blossom hairpin jingled as she ran.
The little girl, taking notice of the sudden figures standing at the garden entrance abruptly halted in place, her large glittering eyes staring at them.
Rin stared back at her with steady eyes, both not once removing their eyes off one another.
As Rin stared, she couldn't help but find the little girl to look like a dazed fragile small animal.
Lost in thought Rin hadn't noticed the sudden movements of a figure charging toward her. With swift movements, Rin noticed a small round ball leap towards her chest with flashing eyes.
Startled and caught off guard, Rin unconsciously reaches out towards the small figure leaping into her arms like a wild animal.
Stumbling awkwardly a few steps back, she would have tragically fallen with the small bun in her graceful arms if it wasn't for Xu Mujin who stood behind her stretching his hand out to support her - his hand lightly pressing against her back to steady her.
”Ah...thanks Xu Mujin,” Rin said glancing upward with a strained smile.
”En.” Xu Mujin nodded before retreating back behind her.
Finally settled in place, Rin glances down at the petite figure in her arms - her small round face looking back up towards Rin.
Blinking her emerald eyes rapidly, Rin stares at the small girl with a serene expression. The little girl's black eyes radiantly shine as her small pink lips part.
”Big brother, marry me!” The adorable girl demanded sternly with sparkling sharp eyes.
”...”
The two guards who had previously guided Rin, stared at their young Miss and the young Master Bai Lan with stunned eyes, one stifling a fit of laughter poorly while the other slapped his back.
Even the two Bai soldiers Rin brought along with her were stunned by the little girl's words.
Towards her bold words, Rin couldn't stop her steady eyes from enlarging. Xu Mujin who stood respectfully behind her lightly coughed with a hidden amused expression.
Ah...why did this scene seem wrong?
