Moment Queen's heart pounded in her chest as she watched Bao'er hit the floor with the ring in gleeful childplay. She wished to snatch it back.
But if she showed any interest in the ring, she knew Han Sen would take it away from her for good.
Bao'er continued to play with it, and Moment Queen hoped she'd soon lose her interest in it.
As Bao'er swung her arms around, with her fist clenching the ring, it looked as if it'd slip out from her grasp, any second.
”Bao'er, that belongs to the dead. You shouldn't do that.” Han Sen was afraid she'd end up eating the ring.
Bao'er was stronger than anyone he knew, but on a certain level, she was still a baby. He still felt compelled to be as protective as any reasonable parent should.
When Moment Queen heard him speak, she hoped Han Sen would tell her to discard the ring.
She knew she still had to act cool and not show any interest, so she held back for a while and just watched Bao'er.
But then, Bao'er stopped messing about and just sat there. She fiddled the ring between her fat, wrinkly baby-fingers. It seemed as if she was actually considering whether she should keep it or throw it away.
Suddenly, she raised her hand as if to prepare a throw.
Moment Queen's glee and excitement immediately returned, and in her heart, she started shouting, ”Throw it! Yes, throw it!”
Bao'er's hand raised the ring... and stopped. She didn't throw it, and the baby's crooked face suggested she was still deep in thought over whether or not to keep the ring.
Moment Queen's face turned dim again. Soon, Han Sen would find the scale. And when he did, her opportunity of nabbing this ring for herself would go, too.
But then, Bao'er pulled back her raised arm, as if to finally throw the ring away.
This delighted Moment Queen. But the rollercoaster of emotions showed no sign of slowing down, as Bao'er's arm dropped with the ring still in her possession. Moment Queen's mind was furious, screaming, ”Just do it!”
Finally, Bao'er came to a decision. Her face looked serious, and she seemed ready to throw it in Moment Queen's direction.
”Yeah, that's it. Come on, baby. Come on.” Moment Queen opened her arms, as if to gesture that she should really throw it her way, and prepare to catch it.
Bao'er's face dropped its babylike glee, though. She was serious, like a baseball player, preparing to throw the game-saver.
Seeing Bao'er ready to throw, Moment Queen's hands opened wide. The baby's arm launched forward but... no ring left the clutch.
Bao'er smiled to Moment Queen like a little demon. She stood up, with the ring firmly in her hands, and ran over to Han Sen.
