Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



Si Mo Fan turned his head and smiled. "You're finally here again, Miss."

Nan Hua nodded. "How's Chen Ji Yue?"

Chen Ji Yue, Chen Yuan's niece, was only 4 years old. At this moment, Yan Xi was happily carrying the little doll in her arm while taking some flowers to decorate the little girl's head.

She smiled at Nan Hua. "Miss, Yue'er is well behaved."

Seeing how happy Yan Xi was, Nan Hua began to think that Si Bai might have lost his place in his mother's heart. With him already away from home for so many years, it wouldn't be weird for Yan Xi to pour all her love and attention to this little girl.

Chen Ji Yue opened her large eyes and looked at Nan Hua curiously before showing a smile. "Jie Jie*!"

"Hello," Nan Hua greeted Chen Ji Yue but didn't say anything more. She was not good when dealing with kids, especially when she thought about her strength and all. She was afraid that she would use too much strength and accidentally hurt these children.

They were innocent children.

She didn't want to harm them in the slightest bit.

"Do you want to carry Yue'er?" Yan Xi asked. "Don't worry, Yue'er is well behaved, right Yue'er?"

"Yes!" Chen Ji Yue nodded her head cutely.

·ƈθm Nan Hua watched Chen Ji Yue and thought about it. As a four year old kid, Chen Ji Yue was no longer as fragile as a little baby. Thinking about Feng Ao Qian when he was still a baby and her aunt made her carry the little brat, she didn't really want to repeat it again.

"Come closer. Don't worry." Yan Xi laughed lightly and walked to Nan Hua. When she was close, she extended her hand, allowing Chen Ji Yue to climb to Nan Hua's arm.

Nan Hua carefully held the little girl in her arm. She looked at Chen Ji Yue and saw her looking back in her direction and laughed, showing her already grown small teeth.

"Do you live well, Yue'er?" Nan Hua asked, lowering her voice slightly.

Chen Ji Yue seemed to like Nan Hua's voice as she leaned closer and snuggled close. "Yes. Aunt Yan is kind to me like Aunt Chen."

Nan Hua nodded. "Do you miss your mother?"

"No." Chen Ji Yu shook her head.

"I see."

Chen Yuan didn't describe about Chen Ji Yue's past, but Nan Hua could guess. For a mother to abandon her own daughter, it was clear that she only treated this daughter of hers as nothing more than tool to bind her with her husband.

Would she take care of her child?

The highest probability would be no.

Nan Hua held Chen Ji Yue with one hand and the other hand lightly caressed Chen Ji Yue's head. She was carefully holding back her strength to make sure that she would not hurt the little girl.

Being petted make Chen Ji Yue laughed happily. She seemed to enjoy it very much.

Yan Xi watched the two of them interacted with a kind smile on her face. She always felt that Nan Hua was truly cold, but this image was really good. This made her wonder what it would be when Nan Hua had her own children in the future.

It must be very cute.

"It's almost time for your nap, Yue'er." Yan Xi stretched her hand, carefully lifting Chen Ji Yue. "Let's go to sleep, ok?"

"But…" Chen Ji Yue looked at Nan Hua with her large doe eyes.

Yan Xi laughed lightly. "You can play with Sister Hua later again, ok?"

"…Ok." Chen Ji Yue pouted and clutched Yan Xi's clothes. Right now, she wanted to sleep quickly so that when she woke up, she could still play with Nan Hua.

Si Mo Fan watched from the side and when Yan Xi was a distance away, he said with emotion, "How did you have such a high charm for children, Miss? Yue'er didn't even want to get close to me until I coaxed her for days."

Nan Hua looked at Si Mo Fan and then blinked her eyes. "You're not beautiful enough."

Si Mo Fan: "…." excuse me?

As a man, why did he even want to be beautiful?

Also, he believed that he's very handsome, ok?

Looking at Nan Hua resentfully, Si Mo Fan then noticed how fair Nan Hua's appearance had become. Even though it had only been a few months since the last time they saw each other, he felt that Nan Hua's charm was indeed very high.

But…

Since when did children were such a beauty lover?

Nan Hua ignored Si Mo Fan's gaze and took out a bamboo scroll. "The training plans for the core members. Even if they stay here, they shouldn't neglect their training."

"Don't worry, they are all working in shift and still have time to train." Si Mo Fan laughed lightly. "Anything else?"

"There are traps being made in Da Yi City. Send someone to pick it up in a month's time."

"Traps? You're going to make new variety?" Si Mo Fan was speechless.

"Yes."

Thinking of the countless variety that they had put on over the years on the mountain, Si Mo Fan began to feel pity for whoever would want to cross Xia Mountain Range in the future. If they didn't suffer heavily from the countless traps that Nan Hua arranged, he would never believe it.

"Do you really think that there will be anyone who's stupid enough and try to enter Xia Mountain Range in the future?" Si Mo Fan felt that with their reputation, it was no longer necessary to worry that much.

Nan Hua glanced at Si Mo Fan. "Better be prepared than sorry."

Si Mo Fan shrugged.

Fine, you're the boss.

As the subordinate, Si Mo Fan just needed to arrange everything in accordance to what she wanted and what was necessary. Anyway, this Xia Mountain is also his home, so he wanted to protect it well too.

That way, no one would bother him when it was unnecessary.
