Perplexed and Smitten (175)

Instead of questioning Shi Bao'er, Jin Qingyue said, "Come home with Mommy."

Shi Bao'er glared at her and refused vehemently, "No."

"I'll send you to your father's place, then."

"No!" she hollered.

"What do you want, then? Would you like to return to the boot camp?"

"No…"

"You're saying no to everything. Do you want to sleep on the streets, then?"

After a moment of silence, she caught sight of Shi Shaochuan walking toward them and finally said, "I'll go with you."

At last, Jin Qingyue and Ling Ciye brought her home reluctantly.

Although Shi Bao'er was her biological daughter, Jin Qingyue could not help but feel terrified by the things that Shi Bao'er was capable of doing.

For example, trying to poison them to death by leaving the gas stove on at midnight. Jin Qingyue was truly petrified.

However, she could not leave Shi Bao'er in the lurch; she was still her flesh and blood, after all.
