65 Daughter seducing her mother (1/2)
Around the same time that Bai Long sent Yailing to meet with Bai Zhen, and Bai Xiu, he went to the Cao family's courtyard with Linxin, Cao Ning, and Zhenya.
”How do you feel Ning'er?”
While she did appreciate the intimate way Bai Long was calling her, Cao Ning knew that he wasn't asking the question out of worry for her.
Instead, he wanted to know if she would go through with his plans, or back out in the middle.
”I'm fine, Master.”
Smiling from having expected this answer, Bai Long slowed down and stopped in front of Cao Ning who within those few seconds had already started losing focus on reality and began daydreaming.
”Ning'er.”
Coming to her senses immediately, Cao Ning immediately stopped herself from walking into Bai Long who was less than a few inches away.
”Master!”
Ignoring the shocked expression in Cao Ning's face, Bai along wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
A little flustered from the unexpected hug, Cao Ning was a little stunned but quickly recovered and rested her face on Bai Long's chest.
Using his hand to move the strands of hair which were falling on her face, Bai Long placed them behind her ear and then kissed her on the forehead.
”It's fine if you don't want to do this. I won't blame you in the slightest.”
This was the last chance Bai Long was going to give Cao Ning.
If she chose to back out now, Bai Long would be a little disappointed in her, but he wouldn't get rid of her.
But, if she did something which could jeopardize his plan, he wouldn't hesitate in the slightest and immediately throw her away.
Even Cao Ning who was enjoying the rare hugs of happiness and warmth also knew of this, and was about to say that she'd like to back out.
However, she knew that if she chose to back out now, her Master would definitely be disappointed in her.
Due to this, after not saying anything for almost a minute, Cao Ning gritted her teeth and came to a decision.
With her face returning to its usual calm expression, Cao Ning looked up towards Bai Long and showed a delighted smile as she said, ”I'm never going to disappoint you, Master.”
Smiling in return, Bai Long patted her head and said, ”I knew that Ning'er. You're someone I have a lot of trust in.”
...
After that small break in their journey, the four individuals didn't stop until they finally reached their destination. The Cao Family's house.
The very same house that Cao Ning grew up in.
Looking towards Cao Ning through the corner of his eye, Bai Long saw that she wasn't showing any signs of nostalgia, or any such things which made him feel happier.
”The rest is up to you Ning'er.”
Nodding her head with the refreshed smile still on her face, Cao Ning began walking forward.
Cao Ning didn't have any bad feelings towards her parents. In fact, if not for having been forced to marry the king, she probably would've still been in touch with her family.
