Chapter 9: Swallowing Alive and Flaying

Unfortunately, since they were on the main road and outside, he could only think about it in his heart, but he couldn't do anything.

Liu Sisi didn't know about the other party's dirty thoughts, and she was still anxiously looking around, afraid of being seen by outsiders, how embarrassing it would be!

While the two of them were preoccupied with their thoughts, they turned around an earthen slope, climbed a short distance, and arrived at the house at the foot of the mountain.

"Dad, Mom!"

Di Ying ran towards them from the path in front of the house and threw herself into Liu Sisi's arms, tightly hugging her thigh without letting go.

"Mom, you said you'd be back soon, but YingEr has been waiting for you for a long time and hasn't seen you come back. YingEr is so scared..." scared that you would abandon YingEr like her birth mother...

As YingEr flew into her arms, Liu Sisi immediately withdrew her hand, but fortunately, this time Di Yelei didn't stop her.

She bent down and gently patted YingEr's back while her voice unconsciously softened, "YingEr, be good, mom went to dig wild vegetables. Look what mom brought YingEr back, do you like it?"

While speaking, Liu Sisi grabbed the bamboo stick-wearing bamboo shoot insect from the bamboo basket carried by Di Yelei and handed it to YingEr.

Once YingEr saw the bamboo insect, her eyes lit up! She quickly took the bamboo insect and shook it for a moment, and the insect immediately spread its wings and began to buzz, causing a small breeze. This made YingEr laugh and squint her eyes in delight.

"Mom, YingEr really likes it! Thank you, Mom. Do you have any more bamboo insects? YingEr wants to get one for her brother too."

Above the path where YingEr just ran down, Di Xuan was watching this side with tightly pursed lips. His small face, which was very similar to Di Yelei's, was tense. When his dad glanced over, he quietly called out.

"Dad, you're back."

Di Xuan quickly greeted Di Yelei, who was walking up the path with large strides.

"Come, this is what your mother brought back for you guys. You take it and play too."

Di Yelei took another bamboo insect from the edge of the bamboo basket and handed it to Di Xuan. Then he gently patted Di Xuan's shoulder and went straight into the house.

When he was about to enter the house, Di Yelei couldn't help but look back.

In the direction of the setting sun, YingEr was talking to Liu Sisi, who was looking down at her. With her back facing him, he couldn't see the little girl's expression clearly. But the young woman's eyebrows and eyes curved, and the corners of her mouth also held a faint smile. Her whole person was bathed in the golden radiance of the setting sun, exuding a sacred radiance from the inside out, which was captivating.

Perhaps feeling Di Yelei's fiery gaze, she quickly looked up and found herself staring right into his eyes, immediately looking deep into his pupils.

There was the center of a raging storm vortex, and a strong force kept pulling at her soul, as if in the next moment she would be devoured and eaten straight away; not even a bit of bone left!

Such a naked look quickly turned Liu Sisi's cheeks pink, which rapidly morphed into a deeper red, and her round-shaped small earlobes also turned a bright crimson.

It took great effort for her to withdraw her gaze, feeling as if there was no place to put her hands or feet, so she hurriedly took YingEr's hand and led her into the house.

She also called out to Di Xuan: "Xuan'er, don't stand outside. The wind will start soon, and it's cold outside. Come inside to play."

As the saying goes, poor children grow up early in the family. Sensitive Xuan'er naturally noticed the interaction between his dad and this mother. Could it be that his dad really liked this mother?

It had been only three years since their mother passed away. He didn't believe that his dad had completely forgotten his birth mother.

No, it couldn't be!

He clenched his small fists, his face changing constantly, and after telling himself countless times in his heart, he finally went into the house.
