Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Bai Yaoyao stated her motives and thoughts in a straightforward manner, causing Old Master Duan and Duan Xinya to fall silent.

Both of their gazes fell on Bai Yaoyao simultaneously as they analyzed her, especially Old Master Duan’s, which was stern as he sized her up.

Bai Yaoyao did not avoid his gaze and instead matched his gaze honestly.

After a while, Old Master Duan chuckled. “Very good, doll.”

Hearing Old Master Duan’s chuckle, Bai Yaoyao let out a breath of relief. She knew that she had passed his test.

“Doll, you said that you do not fear danger, but if you’re by Yanhao’s side, he may endanger himself to protect you. Have you ever thought about that?”

Bai Yaoyao replied seriously, “Grandfather Duan, I’ve thought about it before, so if I can go to his side, I would definitely hide my name and gender. I’ll just be a good soldier and guard his side.”

Duan Xinya could hear a soldier’s resolution in Bai Yaoyao’s crisp voice. Her eyes twinkled in satisfaction.

Old Master Duan had the same thoughts as well.

Bai Yaoyao stood up and bowed. “Grandfather Duan, Aunt Duan, I hope that you can help me.”

She no longer had the time to think about other things. Her only worry was Duan Yanhao.

She had finally found a person who would protect her and finally caught some of that warmth. She did not want to complicate things again, nor did she want Duan Yanhao to come into any danger.

She had once experienced that cold and desolate feeling, so she knew how to cherish this warmth. Even if the price was her life, she would be willing.

If she did not have Duan Yanhao’s company, she was well aware that she might have already done something stupid in her despair. She might never have walked out from the shadows of her past.

Bai Yaoyao’s expression was so sincere that both Old Master Duan and Duan Xinya could not utter a single word.Read more chapter on NovelFull

After a few more statements, Old Master Duan finally said, “Rest assured that only the two of us know about this. Since this is what you want, we will trust you and help you this once. I hope that you won’t disappoint us.”

“Rest assured, Grandfather Duan, Aunt Duan.”

Old Master Duan sighed. “Yanhao is my most favored grandson. I won’t permit him to come into any harm. Doll, take care of yourselves.”

Bai Yaoyao’s eyes rimmed in red as she replied gratefully, “Thank you, Grandfather Duan. Thank you, Aunt Duan.”

Duan Xinya shook Bai Yaoyao’s hand. “What an honest child. Take good care of yourself.”

“Okay.” Bai Yaoyao did not expect to gain Duan family’s help, so she would definitely do this well.

She knew that the reason why everything went so smoothly was because of the Xie family’s help.

Before she departed, she clasped her hands together in a prayer, hoping that everything would be alright for Yun Bixue.

In Country A

Yun Bixue napped the entire afternoon away, only waking up when it was nearing night time.

After waking up to realize that Bai Yaoyao was no longer there, her expression changed drastically into that of panic. “Where’s Yaoyao? Did something happen to her?”

Xie Limo hugged Yun Bixue and comforted her. “Yaoyao was fetched back to Country X by Duan Yanhao. She did not disturb you because you were resting, but she left a letter for you.”

Reading the letter, Yun Bixue finally let out a sigh of relief. “Limo, you might think that I worry too much, but it’s because I can understand Yaoyao’s feelings. She was hurt deeply, so I’m worried that there would be times when she would think foolishly.”
