Chapter 1169 "Familiarity (4)"

Getting all pitiful in the face now, the pet.i.te girl pleads by grabbing onto her father's sleeve: "Pa, I really like Auntie Ning, can you marry her, please?"

Despite being greatly annoyed by the girl's remarks earlier, he couldn't stay angry here in this case. After all, he too felt the same way inside. "You know your Auntie Ning's att.i.tude towards me. She only treats me as a brother and respects me as such. Now that I've confessed, her att.i.tude has turned damp and cold. However…." Flickering with a thoughtful idea in his eyes, "She may not want to recognize you as her own daughter, but that doesn't change her impression of you. All you have to do is give more persuasion, the more the better, that way we will still have a chance of changing her mind."

The girl grinned at that, revealing the two front teeth's in that smile due to glee: "Okay! Pa, you can count on me to win her over! I must become Auntie Ning's daughter, and I will bring her out of her biological daughter's shadow!"

The girl doesn't care if her own story was true or not, she's decided on the issue and would do everything in her ability to do just that.

“Ahumph!” Ning Yuan coughs slightly so his daughter wouldn't step out of line, "Remember to not say those words in front of your Auntie Ning, otherwise it will create a situation neither of us would want to see, understand?"

There's no illusion in this man's mind that Bai Ning could completely cut them off from her life if she overhears their conversation. All he did was confess right now and he already got the cold shoulder treatment. What's more, perhaps the kind treatment the woman showed to his own daughter was only a side-effect of the woman yearning to meet her own children again. Testing that theory was not in his best interest.

“Pa, you need to stop fretting, I know what I can and can't say." Drawing a lovely smile on her face, "And, I have always been very good in front of her, otherwise why else would Auntie Ning like me so much?"

The man's unease finally lightened up as well. Patting his daughter's shoulder, "Then your pa's future will depend on you."

……

Back inside the cottage, the faintly blowing breeze brings warmth and freshness into the room where a lady now lies sitting on the chair. She's not moving, only staring down and gently stroking the baby belly cover in her hands.

Over the years, Bai Ning has never stopped searching for her own ident.i.ty and background. Sadly, aside from her own name, she knew nothing else, the only exception was this baby underwear she had with herself after losing those precious memories.

“Why? Why can’t I remember anything?” She frowned, desperately searching through the fragmented pieces of images that would on occasionally surface in her mind.

But like usual, a heavy pang of pain hit her mind like a hammer, causing the woman to crumble to the floor with those hands shaking and wrapping around her own head. It's extremely painful to the point of losing the motor controls of her own body.

"Auntie Ning, what's wrong?!" The pet.i.te girl exclaims after catching sight of what's happening. She had wanted to come speak to the woman after leaving her father outside.
