Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Accidently Found Out Bai Xifeng’s Secret

"Why don’t you tell me about that?" Ning Chen asked.

"I don’t think it is necessary." Ning Jianguo said.

Ning Chen sighed. His son did not think far about this matter.

"Father, is Fourth Uncle really cut ties with us?" Ning Jianguo asked.

"Yes." Ning Chen nodded.

"But why?" Ning Jianguo asked.

Ning Jianguo never knew the reason why Ning Zhaofeng and his family decided to leave the Ning Family. Ning Chen did not know how to answer this question. Did he really need to answer like this? Your grandfather did not want to waste the resources on your Fourth Auntie. And that is why your Fourth Uncle wants to leave the family. Ning Jianguo might see the Ning Family like they were monstrous.

"You will know about that later." Ning Chen did not dare to speak truthfully about that.

....

Bai Xifeng finally came out of his room. She was in her room in the past few days refining pills and elixirs. She even missed her meal. When he came out, she looked like a zombie.

"Sir Bai?" Ning Shoukai was shocked to see Bai Xifeng like this.

He knew Bai Xifeng with a handsome appearance. So, he was kind of shocked seeing Bai Xifeng in this look.

"I want to get a bath. Can you ask someone to prepare the water for me?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Sure... Sure..." Ning Shoukai nodded.

He asked a servant to prepare the water for Bai Xifeng. He also asked Bai Xifeng if he needed someone to help him to get a bath.

Hell no! Bai Xifeng did not use having someone serve her while she was bathing. She was comfortable doing everything on her own. So, she rejected it.

Bai Xifeng was letting her guard down and enjoyed the bathroom. She eventually fell asleep in the bathtub.

Ning Shoukai walked into the room thinking that Bai Xifeng would probably do bathing. He was surprised when he saw Bai Xifeng was still in the bathtub. However, the real shocking thing was when he realized that he saw something on Bai Xifeng’s chest.

Then, his face turned red when he realized it was that thing. He snapped out of it and rushed out of the room.

The noise woke Bai Xifeng up. She realized that she was still in the bathtub. She stood up grabbing the towel to wipe out the excess water.

She put on clean clothes. She went out and saw a group of servants. She called them asking them to clean up the bathtub in her room. The servants nodded and went to her room.

Bai Xifeng went to the kitchen to see whether they had food or not. When she was heading there, she saw Ning Zhaofeng.

"Master Ning." Bai Xifeng greeted Ning Zhaofeng.

"Oh, Sir Bai. You finally come out." Ning Zhaofeng replied to Bai Xifeng.

Ning Zhaofeng heard from his son that Bai Xifeng did not want others to disturb him. Apparently, he was in the process of making the pills and elixirs.

"Yes. I am just finally finishing what I want to do." Bai Xifeng grinned. "And I am about to go to the kitchen to get some food."

"Why are you not asking the servant to bring the food for you?" Ning Zhaofeng asked. "Are the servants ignoring you?"

"No... No... They don’t." Bai Xifeng shook her head. "I just want to get it myself."

"No... No... Sir Bai, you are my guest, my wife’s saviour. You don’t have to go to get your own food from the kitchen. How about we eat together? It is about dinner time anyway." Ning Zhaofeng invited Bai Xifeng.

"Well, if you don’t mind." Bai Xifeng said.

"Of course, we don’t mind." Ning Zhaofeng laughed.

He then asked the servants to serve the dinner earlier than usual. Ruan Chu already could walk and was happy to see Bai Xifeng.

"Sir Bai... Long time no see." Ruan Chu smiled as he greeted Bai Xifeng.

"Madam Ruan, how do you feel?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"I can feel that I am getting better and better as the time passes." Ruan Chu answered. She looked around searching for someone. "Where is Shoukai?"

"That boy must practise or something. I will ask someone to call him." Ning Zhaofeng stated.

The servants began to serve the food. A few minutes later, Ning Shoukai appeared. When his eyes met Bai Xifeng’s eyes, he moved his stare. Even though he did not want to think about the previous event, the image still appeared in his mind making him blush.

Ning Zhaofeng noticed it. So, he was curious about that and asked Ning Shoukai.

"Why is your face red? Do you have a fever or what?" Ning Zhaofeng raised his eyebrow.

"What? No. My face is not red at all." Ning Shoukai protested.

Ning Zhaofeng was taken aback by his son’s reaction. "Why are you so sensitive today? Calm down."

Ning Shoukai also thought that he had overreacted. "I am sorry, Father."

"Never mind. Let’s eat. Sir Bai is hungry since he has not eaten for several days." Ning Zhaofeng said.

Hearing Bai Xifeng’s name again was enough to get Ning Shoukai to blush again. Ning Zhaofeng and Bai Xifeng probably did not notice it but his mother, Ruan Chu noticed something. She narrowed her eyes as she started to eat.

Bai Xifeng felt blessed that she could taste human food again. Baishe made him fast and not let her drink water while she was refining pills and elixirs. How cruel.
