The next morning, Lin Xiaofei begrudgingly got out of the bed. She was sore over over after being tortured by Qu Xing Xu.

When he said that he would continue what they discussed yesterday morning, he really meant it. Not only that, he actually went as far as to read the first ten pages of the book. And surprisingly, every page contained some erotic scenes that almost made her cry.

Qu Xing Xu was merciless. He didn\'t stop even when she tried to coax him to stop. What\'s more, before he left earlier, he actually had the audacity to tell her that they would continue reading the book after the wedding!

Stepping out her room, Lin Xiaofei saw her maids standing on the side frantically as if something was chasing after them but they couldn\'t take a step forward.

"What\'s wrong with all of you?" She asked as soon as she got all their attentions.

Bai Lu\'s eyes immediately brightened up and cheered, "Young miss, you\'re awake!"

"What\'s wrong?"

Su Tang stepped forward and replied, "Young miss, a madam has come to get you prepared for tomorrow\'s event."

"A madam?" Lin Xiaofei blinked her eyes and remembered that whenever a young lady were to marry, they would be trained by an old madam on how to do things during the wedding ceremony.

In her previous life, she also experience such a thing. Devoting a month\'s time to prepare herself in getting married only to be treated like a fool. At her previous wedding, Lin Xiaofei was obediently following every words the old madam told her and became a joke eventually.

Thankfully, she was quick-witted enough to know what was wrong during the first stage of her wedding and quickly adjusted to what she think was right even if it angered Concubine Xian who was glaring at her all the time for stealing away her son from her.

"Young miss?"

Lin Xiaofei snapped out from the trip to her memory lane and said, "Did the duke sent her here?"

Su Tang and Bai Lu looked at each other before they shook her head simultaneously.

"Then, who sent her here?" Lin Xiaofei asked with a frown.

Bai Lu answered quickly, "It was Lady Bai."

Lady Bai? Lin Xiaofei paused slightly as she tried to remember who was this \'lady Bai\'. It took her almost a minute to finally remember that there was two venomous snakes living inside the Qu residence.

The first week she stayed in the Qu residence, the Bai sisters didn\'t waste any opportunity to try to talk to her. They probably wanted to make things difficult for her. But unfortunately, Lin Xiaofei simply had no spare time to waste on insignificant people like them.

"Tell her to return back to whoever sent her here." Lin Xiaofei walked away. A cold wind surrounded her and a deadly glint flashed in her eyes.

"But young miss, your wedding is tomorrow and you still haven\'t attended any lessons since your engagement was established." Su Tang worriedly said.

But Lin Xiaofei only shrugged as if she wasn\'t the one who\'s getting married tomorrow, "I was too busy and I don\'t need it."

"Anyway, I\'m not going to see the madam so you should tell her to leave. If she doesn\'t want to leave, tell her no one on this house needs her guidance. On the contrary, the sister under the person who employed her might need it greatly." Lin Xiaofei smiled thinking about Bai Jia Li who seemed to think that she could get Qu Xing Xu with the use of seduction alone.

How laughable, they expect her to fall from the same kind of scheme that almost smeared her reputation in her previous life? Do they think that they\'re so smart and no one could see what they really think inside those little brains of theirs?

Lin Xiaofei no longer wanted to bother herself on this matter and directly stepped out of her courtyard. She took a turn and went to the side courtyard where the child was living in.

The moment, she opened the door, a ball of golden fur suddenly crashed into her. With a gasp, the impact took her by surprise.

"You finally came to see me!" The golden fur or more accurately, Kael pouted.

Lin Xiaofei looked down to the child that only reached her chest. Blue eyes stared at her amber ones and a doting feeling suddenly surged inside her.

She didn\'t know why but seeing those innocent eyes, an instinct that never existed inside her suddenly appeared. It was as though she would do anything to protect those eyes from being stained with the elements that makes this world ugly.

Patting his head, she smiled at him, "I do hope you\'re studying well while I was away."

Kael nodded proudly, "Of course! I almost finished the books you brought last time." Suddenly, his smile gradually decreased.

"What is it? Do you want me to buy you more books to read?"

The child shook his head and looked up at her, "Rather than having more books… Can I have something else?"

Lin Xiaofei found no reason to not listen to what he wanted and waited for him to speak.

Like a child asking for affection towards someone dear to them, Kael wrapped his short arms around her and rested his chin on her chest as he stared straight at her.

"My lady… Can I go outside?"

Ever since he was saved by Lin Xiaofei and got the things he wanted, there are still some things that seemed missing inside of him. A child like him who have suffered from both betrayal of his own kin and at the hands of others, it was quite natural of him to desire what every children wanted.

The feeling of freedom and doing what a normal child would do at his age.

A silence stretched inside the room as Kael waited for her answer. A drop of sweat dripped on his forehead as he became more anxious to know whether she\'ll get angry at him for desiring more or will she abandon him because of his words.

Seeing the complicated emotions that constantly changed in his eyes and the shaking of the corners of his lips as if he was afraid of the outcome of his words, Lin Xiaofei couldn\'t help but feel bad for him.

Such a young child was already able to feel the complications of the world and fear of being unable to reach out to anyone. Even when she was young, she never got to feel such emotions.

So, how could she stay nonchalant and ignore this child\'s desire?

But things aren\'t going well. Too many troubles kept on coming her way and this child will inevitably get hurt if she was not careful with him.

"Alright." She finally said with a sigh and saw the child beaming in joy. Then, she added, "But I can\'t let you go outside these coming few days. I still have some things to do."

"That\'s alright! I can even wait for a whole month!" Kael said excitedly.

He badly wanted to go out and play. But most of all, he wanted to buy a gift for Lin Xiaofei since her birthday was about to come.
