Not until everyone had left did Fourth Brother turn to look at Leng Tong.
Suddenly, he thought of how he had always belittled her as a mere bodyguard, teasing her and piquing Ning Xie's interest. Comparing that with what just happened...
He swallowed, then nervously began, "Well, auntie, I think, there's nothing else happening. I just remembered, something at home needs my attention…so, I'm leaving now..."
With that, he quickly took off.
Leng Tong was too scary, wasn't she?!
With Fourth Brother gone, Mrs. Ning's tone toward Leng Tong became much more courteous, "Tong, Tong Tong, dear, are you tired? Please, have a seat?"
Leng Tong nodded, "Mom, I'm not tired."
Ever since she had already cried out "Mom" in front of Mrs. Ning, Mrs. Ning began to address her differently.
