Qiao Hua's mom

"I said look into my eyes."

The man said giving a threathening look. Qiao Ning Xi felt the danger, she had no choice but to look up and look into ohis eyes.

The man smiled watching the little girl in front of his eyes trembled at the same time showing obedience. He chuckled.

'A kitten.'

Qiao Ning Xi trembled more after hearing him chuckle, she remembered Gui Han laughing at her that night. The night when she experienced hell, the night when they betrayed her, the night when she started to understand everything and the night when she died. Remembering those scenes, she unconsciously showed disgust, fear and... hatred to the man infront of her.

When the man saw her hatred, he stopped for a second then his face darkened revealing a dangerous aura. He let go of her chin and walked toward the door but before he got out of the room, he murmured.

"Not interesting."

Three days have past ever since they saved her. Qiao Ning Xi has now fully recovered her senses thanks to the psychologist, Martha. Martha is Rafael's friend working here in country P and like Rafael, she's also a foreigner but 5 years had past ever since she stayed here.

"Uhm. When can I go home?" (English) Qiao Ning Xi asked Rafael using the international language since Rafael isn't local and he doesn't understand nor speak p language.

Rafael and Martha were the only one she could talk to but Martha only visited her during the night. While Wen Si Han rarely talk to her, he would only talk to her when Rafael wasn't with them when he needed to remind her about something.

If Wen Si Han rarely talk to her, Young Master Yi, the boss of Wen Si Han, never talked. The last time she heard his voice was when he walked out of the room mad. After that he didn't talk in front of her but she heard him talking to Wen Si Han but he would only answer with a few words.

Nobody thought that it was weird, it felt like it was normal except her of course. Wen Si Han would even understood him with only looking at his eyes, expression and the aura he's giving off.

They are currently eating their breakfast, Rafael stopped eating his waffle after hearing her question. He looked at Wen Si Han asking for help or answer. Wen Si Han, of course, noticed his gaze but he just ignored it.

A minute had past after she realized that no one was planning to answer her, she lowered her head and her eyes became teary. She was really scared, after being with them for only 3 days she knew that they are dangerous. During those days she always heared fighting and gun shots coming from the rooms of three men which is in front of her room. There was even one time when she saw young master yi's hand covered with blood.

Rafael, the person sitting beside her was the first one to noticed her unusual behavior. This wasn't the first time she asked that question and nobody answered it just like today but usually she would just smile like its not related to her.

He realized that she was crying after seeing the wet hand on her lap. The hair might hide her expression but doesn't hide the tears the were droping to the back of her hand.

Young Master Yi and Wen Si Han stopped eating after also realizing it. They heard a small noise that belongs to someone hiding her cry.

Rafael freaked out and started to caress the back of Qiao Ning Xi. Wen Si Han was also surprised and also wanting to comfort her but he didn't know what to do while the young master furrowed his eyebrow not being worried but impatience.

They were not used in having women or girls around them since the young master didn't like it so they started to adapt the habit not wanting girls near the,. Plus in the young master's family there weren't any girls except for the adopted daughter of his uncle.

That's why they were a little flustered after witnessing a girl crying but there was one feeling annoyed. One of the reason why he didn't like having them around is because every female he encoutered are weak, fragile and easy to cry which he found irritating and bothersome.

Hearing her sob getting louder, he couldn't help but to close his eyes and show impatienceess. "Carry her." He said then stood up and walked out.

Rafael heard him and carried Qiao Ning Xi who was crying then along side with Wen Si Han they followed their young master.

They went to Qiao Ning Xi's room. She was still crying but louder and he couldn't take it anymore. "Shut up!"

He released a threathening aura, like saying to her, 'If you don't stop I'll cut your tongue.'

But after she saw his threathening gaze she cried louder. "Young Master, she's still a kid, of course she will get scared and everytime children get scared or frustrated they cry. It's normal for her to cry, especially after seeing your gaze." Rafael tried to explain to him while he whispered the last sentence. Wen Si Han also agreed, even though he doesn't know how to take care of a little girl, he had taken care a little boy before.

Actually, Qiao Ning Xi could stop her emotion right now but she realized after coming to her room that they still have a soft side toward kids. That's why she decides to just let her emotion go to remind them that she's still a child!

He became more irritated after hearing them. He then decided not to have a child in the future.

The way he looked to Qiao Ning Xi became more scary so she cried loudly again. "Scary!" she childlishly said then pointed at him.

The young master's mouth twitched. He then stood up, messing his hair showing his irritation then left with a bam due to the loud noice shutting the door. He walked towards his room then laid on the bed trying to calm himself down.

But when he closed his eyes, he could still remember how she look while crying and the sound of her crying. Their rooms' soundproof are not the best since they are not staying in a five star hotel. They are currently hiding their traces, not wanting to attract their enemies' attention.

"Waaaaa!"

He heard her howling cry. He took his phone and searched "How to stop a child from crying?"

After reading some information, he stood and went to Qiao Ning Xi's room again. This time her cry was lesser but she was hyperventilating. He carried her and took her into his arm, letting her to sit in his arm.

Qiao Ning Xi frozed, she was shocked but her unrythmic breathing was still there.

"Young Master, please she's still a child." Due to the surprise, Rafael first insticnt was to stop his young master from doing anything to the little girl! Wen Si Han was also surprised and was planning to calm their young master down but stopped when he saw his young master patting the little girl's back carefully.

The young master wasn't sure if he was doing it right. He relied on the article he read in the internet. He wasn't sure if his patting was strong, he felt that the little girl in his arm was really delicate and fragile both physically and mentally.

Qiao Ning Xi showed a scared expression after realizing what he was doing. "Still scared?" he asked and she nodded immediately.

"Then don't look at me." He grabbed her arm then putted it in his shoulder and she subsconciously hugged his neck then laid her head into his shoulder.

"Do you want to go home?"

"Yes."

******

"Young Master, why didn't you ask her?" Wen Si Han said after he saw the car leaving along the little girl.

"She isn't like us." His eyes showed warm after remembering her crying. He couldn't imagine that little girl becoming dark like them.

******

"Miss, we're here."

Qiao Ning Xi looked up after hearing the driver's voice. Out the car's window she saw the familiar mansion and smiled coldly. She's back to this cold house once again.

She thanked the driver and waited until she couldn't see the car before going inside.

Heading inside the house, she could see the servants with different expression.

'Well, it's normal. Afterall, during the few days that I was gone no one seek for me because something big is happening inside the house.'

"Mom! Dad! I'm back!"

She said after seeing that no one were in the living room so she went to the dinning room. Everyone stopped eating and looked at her. She saw their familiar faces and someone she was familiar in her previous life but is a stranger for her in this life.

"Ning Xi, Where the hell did you go?!" Grandpa Qiao shouted but you could hear worry in his voice.

Qiao Ning Xi wanted to hug him but she remembered she has something more to do so she just smiled apologetically and went toward Mrs. Qiao. "Mom, I'm back! Did you miss me?"

Mrs. Qiao was quite surprised because Qiao Ning Xi usually wouldn't act like this infront of Qiao Hua. The reason was to let Qiao Hua believe that Qiao Ning Xi and Mrs. Qiao's relationship was already broken, worse than strangers.

"Mom, who's this auntie? Hello!" Everyone frozed after hearing her question and Qiao Ning Xi smiled seeing their reaction. Seeing that no one was planning to talk, the woman beside Mr. Qiao and Qiao Hua patted Qiao Hua lightly.

"Sister, this is my mom. Also dad's----" Qiao Ning Xi interrupted Qiao Hua.

"Hua Hua, are you planning to leave with Auntie?" Qiao Hua's expression changed but the woman beside her was still smiling.

"Hello, Ning Xi. I'm Wei Ya, Hua Hua's mom and from now on I'm going to live here. Please take care of me."
