I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family

Chapter 420: Chapter 429 Read More When You’re Free Chapter 420: Chapter 429 Read More When You’re Free He sure has a big mouth, always asking about everything like it’s his job or something. Seriously, speechless.

“I feel quite embarrassed too, I shouldn’t have asked that question just now,” Bai Xin admitted, feeling awkward about it.

“No worries,” Li Mo casually scratched the back of his head; being a man, he took it lightly and teased, “As for you, I brought up your sore spot, sorry about that.”

Bai Xin smiled, indicating it was okay.

“It’s nothing, I just get annoyed every time I think of him. Thanks for today, Li Mo. Now that you’ve taught me how to prepare the medicine, I can do it myself from now on.”

Bai Xin didn’t want to bother Li Mo anymore. After checking and knowing everything was fine, she felt relieved.

As for preparing medicine, she could manage that on her own whenever needed.

“You both don’t need to feel awkward anymore, let’s just drop it,” someone chimed in.

Bai Zhi looked at the exchange between these two and felt exhausted for them.

After lunch, Bai Zhi and Bai Xin followed Li Mo back to the hospital. Li Mo immediately went to prepare the medicine, taking Bai Zhi with him to the kitchen to brew it.

It wasn’t complicated—just boiling down five bowls of water to one, starting with a large bowl and adding in turn until it was reduced to one bowl, drinking 100 milliliters each time.

Li Mo portioned it into 100-milliliter packets after boiling. By the time he was done, it was already midnight. He figured they must be resting, so he left. It wasn’t until the next morning that he delivered it to Bai Xin.

Bai Xin treated Li Mo to a meal in appreciation and then took Bai Zhi to visit her friend. She was delighted to learn that her friend had already sold the item and was quite happy. They gathered materials and prepared to make it again that day. This time, she wanted to make it for Xingxing, Wu Wa, and Bai Fei.

Matching sister outfits.

By the time they returned to the village, it was already afternoon. The setting sun cast a beautiful glow on the hills.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Ouyang and Nan Xi.

Nan Xi had actually come back, dressed in a pretty skirt, little leather shoes, and white stockings.

With her hair braided into two little braids, her face looked even rounder.

If this kept up, she might even surpass Mu Yu.

Yet, she seemed utterly oblivious to it, chatting happily with Brother Ouyang at the entrance of the village, both of them holding something, as if they had just arrived.

Ouyang stopped for a moment and glanced back at them—a glance that made him pause.

Bai Zhi, it was Bai Zhi. Meeting Bai Zhi just upon returning, could this be considered good luck for him?

Nan Xi felt a little unhappy seeing Ouyang’s gaze settle on Bai Zhi. Why was Brother Ouyang looking at Bai Zhi?

In the past, she’d watch Bai Zhi with a tinge of envy because she was her parents’ daughter, having everything Nan Xi coveted.

But now, looking at Bai Zhi’s clothes, they seemed so pitiful.

Such poor fabric must be uncomfortable to wear, and what was she using to tie her hair?

It was pathetic.

Now, Nan Xi personally appreciated the advantage of her father being Nan Jin—the most beautiful clothes to wear and endless pocket money to spend every day.

Those who used to mock her were now following behind her, coaxing and complimenting her incessantly.

That feeling was genuinely great and what was more important, she could be with Brother Ouyang.

In the future, they would surely be together forever, as long as Nan Jin didn’t discover the secret, the secret that Bai Zhi was his daughter. She had to keep this secret safe.

“Sister, Auntie, where are you going? I came back with Brother Ouyang to see mom and my brothers. Do you want to join us? I’ve brought shrimp, squid, and crabs; want to have some together? They’re really tasty.”

Every word she said was a boast.

Boasting about her good life now.

“Oh, we won’t eat that, but how come I remember crabs aren’t in season right now? You should read more, otherwise, you’ll easily make a fool of yourself, you know?”

Bai Zhi glanced at her indifferently, chuckled coldly, eating crabs in November, haha…

It wasn’t that they were unavailable, in over ten more years, anytime would be fine for eating them, but that didn’t mean it was the same now—the current issue was transportation…

“What do you know, do you even understand what king crabs are?”

Embarrassed being exposed in front of Ouyang, she felt her face burning and quickly added another sentence.

Ouyang frowned. When had Nan Xi become so assertive? Still, he protected her.

“Xixi got it wrong, the crabs aren’t good this season, so I brought sea scallops, but I’ll definitely bring you crabs when it’s the right season.”

With these words, Ouyang had managed to give Nan Xi a way out, but Nan Xi didn’t feel it, feeling somewhat aggrieved instead.

Thinking that Ouyang was undercutting her dignity, and if before she envied Bai Zhi, now jealousy was mixed in. As for feeling guilty about taking Nan Xi’s father, she didn’t think she was wrong at all—after all, Nan Xi didn’t know, her father had switched children, hadn’t he?

To be liked by Nan Jin, she had been particularly well-behaved, obedient every day, yet Nan Jin still remained stern. Indeed, not being biological, he didn’t know how to cherish her at all.

If her father hadn’t said that everything of Nan Jin would be hers in the future, she truly didn’t want to live under the same roof as him anymore; it was too oppressive.

“We wouldn’t buy our own if we wanted to eat? There’s no need for your gifts. We’re not that close.”

Hearing this, Bai Zhi laughed, clearly a mocking laugh. So what did that mean? Did she think they couldn’t afford it?

Ouyang’s eyebrows never relaxed. He looked at Bai Zhi somewhat helplessly, his gaze carrying a touch of sorrow surrounded by a faint melancholy, as if Bai Zhi’s words deeply saddened him.

“Bai Zhi, I’ve always thought we were friends. Aren’t we?”

That look, that demeanor, those sorrowful eyes.

Ah, spit, thinking this was some idol drama.

“We’re at best strangers. Just let it be, we need to go home.”

Bai Zhi was really tired of looking at them, but…

Had Ye Xiu and the others not left yet? She had thought Ye Xiu and the rest had long since left.

Bai Xin hurried to keep up, and honestly, her sister Xingxing’s confrontational demeanor was quite impressive.

“Hey, Bai Zhi, don’t go.”

Ouyang quickly called out. Was this him starting off on the wrong foot?

Ouyang’s anxious look deepened the expression in Nan Xi’s eyes. Ouyang glanced over inadvertently, and she immediately bowed her head, then looking back up, she returned to her innocent, harmless facade.

“Brother Ouyang, why do you think sister dislikes us? I don’t understand, even though we’re not biological sisters, I really treat her like one.”

Nan Xi’s eye shimmered with tears, looking somewhat wronged, which softened Ouyang’s heart. Perhaps he had just misread the situation earlier.

So that’s why he felt that Xixi was a bit off earlier.

“It’s okay, she’ll understand later. Let’s go, I’ll accompany you back to find Auntie.”

Ouyang took Nan Xi back just as Ye Xiu and the others also returned. They were actually packing up, planning to leave in the next few days. Seeing Nan Xi, both Bai Yu and Bai Ye were somewhat surprised.

“Xixi, you’re back?”

Bai Yu went straight up to her, taking Nan Xi’s hand and bombarding her with questions.
