"Mom, please have a seat here; it's warm." Seeing her finally come in, Ye Ning, who was sitting next to her son, picked him up and gave her the spot.
However, it was a bit odd that the boy seemed visibly stiff and resistant when she held him.
Was he unwilling?
Ye Ning sensed this and, thinking he was just a child who didn't understand, explained in his ear after picking him up, "Xiaobao, this is Grandma, we should respect her, understand?"
Xiaobao didn't speak, but from the moment this woman entered, his eyes, filled with wariness, never left her, and his little body remained seated between her and his mother as if he were protecting his mom.
The old master saw this and, suddenly, his gaze guiltily shifted elsewhere.
Bai Tingfang noticed it too, and as she walked over, her body stiffened as well, the feeling of being starkly scrutinized made her even more embarrassed and uncomfortable.
