Chapter 366 - 124 Ten Years of Waiting Living Up to Longing_6
Yun Ya pinched his little nose and smiled, "Why would you think that? In Mommy’s heart, you are always the most important. Plus, from now on, you will have another person who cares for and loves you. That’s something to be happy about."
Bai Xi’s eyes rounded in realization, "Oh, right."
Yun Ya looked towards Ning Qinglin’s clear and defined features in the distance, then lowered his gaze to Bai Xi’s handsome face in his arms and frowned slightly.
"Also, Xi’er, you can’t call him Uncle Rabbit anymore; you have to call him Dad. Do you understand?"
Bai Xi called out in his milky voice, "Daddy?"
Yun Ya nodded, "That’s right, Uncle Rabbit is going to marry mommy soon, and he will be your daddy. You have to call him Daddy. This will make your Uncle Rabbit very happy."
"I have a daddy now, I have a daddy now!" Bai Xi danced with joy, his cute little face full of pure and innocent smiles.
The two kissed with no desire to part, Bai Ran gasping for breath as she leaned into Ning Qinglin’s embrace, Ning Qinglin holding her tightly with excitement.
In the crowd, Gu Chunrong snorted coldly, not expecting Bai Ran to hook up with Fourth Master Ning so quickly after divorcing Yun Shen. The Ning Family also held formidable power in Jiangzhou, no less than Pei Qinghan. If Bai Ran really married Fourth Master Ning, her dominance at home would be even more unbridled.
Thinking this, she clenched her fists. No, she absolutely couldn’t let them get married.
"Ranran, when did you and Mr. Ning get together? I’m your elder sister-in-law, and you kept even me in the dark," Gu Chunrong said with a hint of reproach in her tone.
Gu Chunrong’s words brought everyone back to their senses. When did Bai Ran get involved with Fourth Master Ning? Wasn’t it just three days ago that she divorced Yun Shen?
Could it be that she had been with Ning Qinglin even before the divorce? Wouldn’t that also be an affair?
And as for Fourth Master Ning, regarded as one of the most eligible bachelors—handsome, influential, and a renowned university professor—most importantly, with a clean love history, such a man with moral integrity, why would he fancy Bai Ran, a much older woman who had been divorced and came with a child?
Such taste was indeed unique.
A chill flashed in Bai Ran’s eyes; her so-called elder sister-in-law was just digging a hole for her to fall into. Just as she was about to speak, Ning Qinglin held her tight and turned around, his gaze coldly fixed on Gu Chunrong. That look was so piercing that Gu Chunrong could hardly meet his eyes.
The people of the Ning Family had a kind of toughness in their bones. Ning Qinglin seemed easy to talk to, but that was only when you didn’t touch his sore spot, and Bai Ran was his sore spot. He would not be merciful to anyone who dared to hurt his Ranran, no matter who they were.
He had anticipated this scenario long ago. He would not let Ranran be questioned; if there had to be a villain, he would take on that role. After ten years of laying low, he was no longer the timid Ning Qinglin of the past. He knew how to protect his woman.
"Lady Bai, Ranran and I had fallen in love more than a decade ago. If it weren’t for your meddling and forcing Ranran into a marriage with the Yun Family, we wouldn’t have missed each other for ten full years. Not a day passed when I did not miss her. To learn that she had a hard time in the Yun Family—that’s something I absolutely can’t stand. No matter how many entanglements there are, the Yun Family has become the past. From now on, Bai Ran is the only wife of Ning Qinglin. Anyone who dares to question that, don’t blame me for not showing mercy," he said with a frosty tone, his expression cold, and as his gaze swept over people, everyone bowed their heads in submission.
Of course, the Ning Family was not someone they could afford to offend.
Bai Ran nestled in Ning Qinglin’s arms, feeling the embrace become even more warm and generous, a shelter to protect her from the storm. From now on, she was willing to be the little woman in his arms, enjoying happiness.
Gu Chunrong’s face turned shades of red and then white at his words. How had she meddled? She had no idea about Ning Qinglin being romantically involved with Bai Ran, and who had forced anyone? It was clear Bai Ran had agreed to marry into the Yun Family. Now she had the audacity to twist the situation and ridicule Gu Chunrong for meddling, which was laughable.
But faced with Ning Qinglin’s ice-cold eyes, she found herself unable to retort.
Bai Xiangxiang did not expect her aunt to be with Fourth Master Ning, and even reaching the point of discussing marriage. How shameless could she be? Just after divorcing Yun Shen, she turned around and became involved with Ning Qinglin. So flirtatious, tarnishing the Bai Family’s name, yet she dared to question her mother, truly reprehensible to the extreme.
In reality, she couldn’t admit that she was jealous of Bai Ran. A woman with such a tarnished reputation, a single mother, yet she still had such a handsome and powerful man deeply in love with her. Was the man blind?
