When Bai Meiyue woke up, the sky had turned dark. She squinted and opened her eyes before turning to look at the clock. It was six in the evening. She yawned and sat up straight on the bed. Now that she had woken up, Bai Meiyue could hear the sound of laughter and chatter from the living room. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Listening to the sounds, she wondered if she had turned momentarily deaf. If not, how could she sleep through this noise? She arched her hands over her head and then went to take a bath. The weather had turned colder and nothing felt better than taking a dip in the warm water; of course, Bai Meiyue didn’t dare to stay too long in the water for fear of catching a cold.
As a pregnant woman, she couldn’t take medicines without worrying about the side effects.
After taking a bath, she pulled on a long warm sweater and tucked the cage of the pheasants under the bed. Of course she didn’t forget to take some beef jerky from her space pocket and feed it to Ciyi. The little pup was still a bit sick and even though Bai Meiyue had done her best to save her life, Ciyi was yet to recover her energetic side.
Seeing the little pup whimpering in her cage as she tried her best to stay away from the jerky, Bai Meiyue sighed and rubbed the furry little head. It seemed like Ciyi was still traumatised by what happened to her.
"Its okay, its okay. I will protect you from now on, no one will hurt you," Bai Meiyue felt her eyes sting when she saw Ciyi like this. She promised herself that she would find Ciyi and bring her to her side. But she was still a step too late.
When she went to the pet shop, Ciyi was taken away and she had no idea who bought her and the owner of the shop refused to disclose the identity of the owner. Bai Meiyue always thought that her friend actually bought Ciyi but turned out that this pup was actually a rescue dog.
Looking at the shivering little thing, Bai Meiyue sighed and brought her to her lap. She hugged and coaxed the little pup for a long time only then did the little pup calm down and take a bite of the jerky. But with each bite, she paused and shrunk her neck before taking a peek at Bai Meiyue.
It was as if she was worried that Bai Meiyue would hit her if she was to eat another bite.
Seeing Ciyi like this, Bai Meiyue cursed her previous owner. Who knows what kind of beast that person was? Bai Meiyue hoped that she would never run into that person or else!
She waited until Ciyi was calm enough to sleep on her own and then tucked her carefully in the small bed that was made of warm blankets. Bai Meiyue waited for a few seconds, but when she saw that Ciyi was not waking up anymore, she heaved a sigh and got up from the floor.
With her feet padding across the carpeted floor, she headed outside the room.
Bai Meiyue walked just outside the room and saw Mother Lei sitting in the living room along with Mother Bai. The two women were talking about something and seemed quite relaxed and happy. Next to them, her two nephews were playing with some new toys that she hadn’t seen before. Most likely they were brought over by Lei Qian.
