Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was impossible for Beiting Huang not to be touched. The interspatial ring she had given Mu Qingling was still on her finger. And today, Nangong Zhiyun and her daughter had even called her a piece of trash in front of everyone. It seemed that Beiting De and Beiting Jun had done a good job of blocking the news of the duel between her and Beiting Han that day. Even the others in Luobeng City didn’t know that she, Beiting Huang, was no longer a piece of trash.
Still, that was good. The more trump cards the other side didn’t know about, the more fun this game was going to be, wasn’t it?
“How beautiful!” Beiting Huang stroked the clothes that Mu Qingling had carefully prepared for her and sighed sincerely. However, she was afraid that she would disappoint Mu Qingling today. No matter what the reason for their engagement was back then, she couldn’t bear to continue lying to this kind girl. She deserved to be treated sincerely!
“Little Ninth, this is nothing!” Mu Qingling’s clear eyes looked at Beiting Huang with heartache. “You’ve worked harder than me. This is all I can do for you at most. But you’re different, Little Ninth. I thought that we could only live in the hatred of our parents for the rest of our lives. I’m already satisfied that I can take care of you for the rest of my life. Little Ninth, I didn’t expect that you would let me see hope one day. I’m really happy to see you like this. I believe Brother Beiting Jing will be very happy too!”
Beiting Huang felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She looked at Mu Qingling in disbelief. What had she missed? What had she forgotten? What had happened to this original body that she didn’t know?
Looking at Beiting Huang’s shocked eyes, Mu Qingling smiled. She glanced at the living room behind her, as if she was afraid that Qiong Qi would hear something. She held Beiting Huang’s hand and squeezed it. “Little Ninth, my mother is your mother’s maid. Have you forgotten? My mother told me since I was young that my destiny is to protect you!”
Beiting Huang had never known that the original owner of this body used to endure violent attacks every day and couldn’t protect her life at all times. All she thought about was how to avoid being beaten. She didn’t have the courage to face her life, so she chose to avoid many things.
“Ling’er, you’ve already protected me for 14 years. From now on, I’ll protect you for the rest of your life! However, Ling’er, did your mother tell you about my… Uh, we…” Beiting Huang really didn’t know what to say.
Mu Qingling’s face instantly turned red. She raised her hand and pinched Beiting Huang’s face hard. “It’s fine if you take advantage of me outside, but don’t act like a ruffian in front of me behind my back in the future. Don’t really think of yourself as a man!”
“Phew!” Beiting Huang heaved a heavy sigh of relief. She felt that the burden she had been carrying for almost half a year had finally been lifted. At this moment, looking at the street outside, she also felt that it had become much more beautiful. The white jade stone road that shone under the sun was enough for more than 30 carriages to drive side by side. Tall buildings stood on both sides of the road, and there was a sea of people on the road. Advanced carriages pulled by exquisitely decorated horned horses passed through continuously, and the traffic kept moving. It was as if Beiting Huang was in an extremely magnificent mood.
“Alright, Ling’er, what are your plans for coming to the Imperial Capital? Are you preparing to apply for the Empire Academy?”
When they returned to the previous topic, their thoughts were already very different. It was the day of the Empire Academy’s recruitment. Young people from all over the Central Continent were gathering in Xuanyuan City. Beiting Huang couldn’t help but wonder if Mu Qingling and Mu Wanyue were also here for the Empire Academy..
