"Don't you want to be more silver?" Ji Ruchang looked at her emaciated back.
This home could be considered as having four walls, otherwise, she wouldn't have gone hunting on the mountain alone.
Ning Silian held the porridge in her hands and handed it over to him. "It's good to have a lot of money, but it's not mine. I'm worried!"
She already owed Madam Qi a favor and didn't want to owe him anymore.
Ji Ruchang held the bowl of porridge in his hands. Although it was just an ordinary bowl of white porridge, he felt that it was the most delicious bowl he had ever eaten.
"Thank you!" Ji Ruchang handed an empty bowl to her.
"Rest a bit longer. The sky will soon brighten." Ning Silian looked at Ning Huai, who was sleeping on the side, and tucked him in.
Ji Ruchang had no intention to sleep anymore as he stared closely at her figure.
How could Ning Silian not know that he was looking at her? She pretended to clean up the dishes. "Um, what happened to the injury on your leg?"
Ji Ruchang's expression darkened. He looked at his leg and said without a care, "The trap we fell into was stabbed!"
Ning Silian looked at him in disbelief. She had thought that he had stepped on her, since there was no hidden weapon in the trap.
"Then you're pretty unlucky!" Ning Silian suddenly voiced out her thoughts.
He then covered his mouth and looked at Ji Ruchang, afraid that he would be angered.
Ji Ruchang smirked, "Indeed!"
"Where are your parents?" The duo spoke at the same time.
Ning Silian wanted to say that if he had a family, he should go and inform them to take him away.
"My mother has already passed away. My father is always wrapped up in matters of affairs. I'm afraid he doesn't have the time to care about my life or death!" Ji Ruchang leaned on the headboard and said coldly, "What about you?"
"Me?" Ning Silian pointed at herself. She was an orphan, but now she said, "As you can see, my mother died while giving birth to Ning Huai. Our father is nowhere to be found.
"Then you are worse off than me!" Ji Ruchang said shamelessly after hearing what she said.
"You …" Ning Silian didn't expect this man to be so fussy and say that she was even more unlucky than him. She was so angry that she didn't want to talk to him anymore.
When the sun rose, the sky finally brightened.
Ning Huai rubbed his sleepy eyes. He looked at the table and didn't see Ning Silian. Instead, he saw a man who looked like his father.
"Daddy, you're back!" Ning Huai shouted towards the back.
Ji Ruchang's body slightly trembled. He turned his head and asked, "You're awake?"
"Brother-in-law!" Ning Huai looked at that person and shouted in disappointment. Then, he remembered what happened yesterday, "Where's sister?"
"In the kitchen!"
Ning Huai got off the bed and ran over after getting dressed.
Ji Ruchang sat at the table and looked across from her. The two of them seemed to be very close, and she loved this little brother of hers very much.
"Sister Silian, are you home?" There was a knock on the door.
When Ning Silian heard the voice of a woman, she was so frightened that she almost knocked over the wooden basin in her hands.
"It's Sister Xiaohua." Ning Huai reminded him on the side.
Only then did Ning Silian remember that her second uncle's mother said she would bring the meat over. She raised her head and blinked at Ji Ruchang, who was sitting in the opposite room, indicating for him to quickly hide.
However, Ji Ruchang just sat there motionlessly.
"Sister Silian? Are you there? " Ning Xiaohua continued to knock on the door. Strange, normally she would wake up at this time of the day.
"Let me do it!" Noticing that no one came to open the door, Ning Yuan kicked open the door and saw Ning Silian supporting Ji Ruchang to the main house.
"Second Uncle, you're back?" Ning Yuan and Ning Xiaohua said at the same time and rushed forward.
Ning Silian wanted to die. Ji Ruchang heard the two people behind him calling out to him, then looked at Ning Silian who was holding him up. He held back his anger. This girl wanted to hide him? Was he that shameful?
