Chapter 1070: Chapter 1070 This child is really obedient, not wild Chapter 1070: Chapter 1070 This child is really obedient, not wild Wu Ma felt somewhat ill at ease, fidgeting with her hands, unsure of what to say.

She walked over to the tea table, poured a cup of tea for Bai Man, and said in a low voice, “Miss Bai, please have some tea.”

Bai Man wasn’t particularly keen on touching the cup, she just smiled softly and gracefully, “Has the little one been good lately? I haven’t visited in many days, and I really miss him.”

“Sometimes good, sometimes noisy, but mostly he is quite quiet. The child is very smart,” Wu Ma said with a smile.

A few months ago, Bai Man had entrusted someone to bring a child to Wu Ma, saying the child was abandoned on the street and happened to be found by her. She had sent the child to the Red Flower Orphanage and asked Wu Ma to take care of him.

Later, Bai Man brought over a few more children, most of them very young and especially pitiable. Therefore, Wu Ma always regarded Bai Man as a bodhisattva, kind-hearted, and showed her great respect.

“Is he asleep? Take me to see him.”

“He’s asleep, let’s go see,” said Wu Ma.

As she spoke, Wu Ma walked over to the door of a small room and gently tiptoed to push it open.

The light inside was already off, but as the door opened, a scent of fresh milk still wafted out. Wu Ma walked over to the bedside and turned on a small table lamp.

The light was soft and not harsh on the eyes. The child in the crib didn’t move and was not woken by the disturbance.

“Miss Bai, he’s sleeping soundly,” whispered Wu Ma.

Bai Man took a few steps forward, standing right beside the crib. She leaned down, looking at the child’s clean face.

A fan was running in the small room, making it cool. The little guy was covered with only a thin blanket and slept quite properly without fuss, the blanket still neatly on him.

“I particularly like this child; he’s smarter than the other kids,” Wu Ma said with a smile.

“He’s so young, what is there to notice,” Bai Man responded with disdain.

Having heard Bai Man’s comment, Wu Ma didn’t know what to rebut and simply kept quiet.

Bai Man often came to visit the child, but she never showed particularly more affection than usual. Of course, she also didn’t show any particular dislike.

Wu Ma couldn’t figure out Bai Man’s thoughts, but she had no doubt that Bai Man was kind-hearted.

Bai Man’s gaze stayed fixed on the child’s face in the crib. The child’s face was white and clean, now sleeping with eyes closed, long lashes casting twin fan-shaped shadows on the eyelids.

The way his lips pursed in sleep was just too much like someone’s, strikingly so.

Bai Man watched with a bit of infatuation, her gaze fixed on his face, not moving for a long time.

Perhaps sensing someone watching him, the little guy moved his hands a bit, though his eyes remained shut.

Wu Ma stood beside Bai Man the whole time, thinking to herself that Bai Man must really like the child, otherwise, why would she watch him for so long.

Bai Man bent over, reaching out to touch the little one’s face.

Her fingers were slender, with long nails painted a layer of red nail polish, trailing from top to bottom across the little guy’s face.

The child’s skin was very delicate, smooth as a peeled egg.

The little one woke up from her touch, starting to move his arms and legs restlessly, and his eyes opened.

As soon as his eyes opened, Bai Man’s hand paused.

Those eyes were just like a little fox spirit’s, large, shiny, as if they could speak.

When the little one looked at her with his eyes wide open, her hand froze in mid-air, and she momentarily forgot to lower it.

Not sure what the little one was resisting, he grabbed Bai Man’s hand.

“Ah!” Bai Man’s face darkened, and she quickly withdrew her hand.

“Miss Bai, are you okay? Did he grab you?” Wu Ma asked anxiously.

“Really wild,” Bai Man withdrew her hand, sneered coldly, and thought to herself that he was really cut from the same cloth as his mother, indeed like parent, like child.

“He’s usually quite well-behaved, maybe he was just excited to see you,” Wu Ma explained.

She saw that Bai Man’s expression was not good, so she hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

However, the child hadn’t actually done anything just then, he had merely grabbed Bai Man for a moment. Children don’t have much aggression, she thought, not understanding why Bai Man reacted so strongly.

This child was actually very obedient, not wild at all.

Bai Man didn’t say anything, just retracted her hand and gave the child a cold glance.

The little guy stared at Bai Man with big eyes, not crying or making a fuss, just gazing at her.

Perhaps it was because those eyes were too similar to a certain little vixen, Bai Man felt as if the vixen was right beside her after a few glances, and she quickly averted her gaze.

Bai Man straightened up, her face all cold and indifferent.

Wu Ma thought that Miss Bai was in a bad mood today, perhaps due to some troubling matter.

“Miss Bai, it’s getting late, are you tired? Would you like to go back and rest?” Wu Ma asked with concern.

“Mm, I’ll be leaving soon,” Bai Man said.

The little fellow in the crib occupied himself, just unhappy about being woken up.

Bai Man spoke and then walked out of the small room, Wu Ma closed the door and quickly followed.

“Miss Bai, it seems like Xiaobao upset you today, please don’t be mad at him,” Wu Ma said.

“Do I look like someone who would get angry with a child? Besides, what did he do? Nothing at all,” Bai Man replied.

“Ah, well, Xiaobao really likes you. If you come by a few more times, get familiar, he’ll start to recognize you.”

“I’ve picked up quite a few children; I treat them all equally.”

“Is that so? Did you visit those other children?” Wu Ma inquired.

“Mm,” Bai Man replied curtly.

Wu Ma didn’t know what to say for a moment, her hands nervously twisting, looking rather ill at ease.

“By the way, did the little one cry a lot?” Bai Man asked.

“Not really, he isn’t as fussy as other children. Quite well-behaved and quiet,” Wu Ma replied.

“When I found him, he was in poor health, so I had someone take him to the hospital to check. The doctor said he might have a heart problem,” Bai Man said.

“Is that so?” Wu Ma looked worried, “Ah, but that makes sense. If he were healthy and well, I guess his parents wouldn’t have had the heart to abandon him.”

“So I just wanted to ask if he looks unwell or might show any adverse reactions?”

“No, nothing like that, he’s been fine,” Wu Ma shook her head.

“Well, it seems he’s okay for now,” Bai Man sighed, “So young and already so pitiable.”

“Now that you mention it, I also feel sorry for the child. His parents are so heartless, to simply discard their own flesh and blood.”

Bai Man didn’t respond, lowering her head to retrieve a bottle from her bag.

“Wu Ma, I know Xiaobao isn’t well, so I specially asked someone to bring some imported nutritional products for him. They can be crushed and mixed into his milk.”

As she said this, Bai Man handed a white medicine bottle to Wu Ma.

Wu Ma reached out to take it, but it was all in a foreign language that she couldn’t read.
