Chapter 452: Chapter 452: Discover Her Gender

They continued to eat. Ning Shoukai subconsciously glanced at Bai Xifeng a few times. Bai Xifeng did not notice it since she was focusing on eating. However, Ruan Chu caught Ning Shoukai’s action.

Ning Zhaofeng also asked about Liu Longwei’s whereabouts. Bai Xifeng told him that Liu Longwei had another important matter to be settled first. After everything had settled

After eating, Bai Xifeng checked on Ruan Chu’s condition. Ruan Chu was recovered pretty well. She would be able to do his normal routine later. Bai Xifeng went back to her room to rest. Ning Shoukai also wanted to leave but his mother stopped him.

Ning Zhaofeng was confused as to why his wife stopped their son from leaving. Does she want to sleep with her son tonight? He could not help to think about that.

"Yes, Mother?" Ning Shoukai asked.

He was back to normal. Not blushing anymore.

"I want to ask you something." Ruan Chu smiled.

"Yes, what is it?" Ning Shoukai tilted his head.

"Why are you blushing when you look at Sir Bai?" Ruan Chu directly threw the question at Ning Shoukai.

The question made Ning Shoukai’s face turned red again. He even covered his face.

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Ning Shoukai was panicked.

Ning Zhaofeng thought it was funny that Ning Shoukai reacted like this. So, he teased Ning Shoukai.

"What? Did you sneak a peak at Sir Bai while he was bathing and saw his body?" Ning Zhaofeng laughed it off.

Ning Shoukai did not answer that. However, his face gave all the answers that his father wanted to know.

"So, it is true that you sneak a peak. So, why are you embarrassed about it? It is not like you see a woman’s body." Ning Zhaofeng said.

Ning Shoukai looked shocked. However, his face turned even redder. Ning Zhaofeng was speechless when he saw this.

"What? Don’t tell me it is true?" It was Ning Zhaofeng who felt shocked. "You are joking, right?"

"I don’t know. I am probably wrong." Ning Shoukai said.

"What do you see?" Ning Zhaofeng asked.

"I see his chest. It is like a woman’s breast. Well developed." Ning Shoukai explained in detail.

"Are you serious?" Ning Zhaofeng could not hear that.

"Don’t speak about women like that. It is rude." Ruan Chu reminded them. "But, so, my assumption about Sir Bai is right."

"What? Mother, do you see something similar?" Ning Shoukai asked.

"No... It is nothing like that. It is something that we all could see." Ruan Chu stated.

"Huh?" The father and son were confused.

"It is her hands." Ruan Chu revealed it. "Her hands are smooth like a young girl’s hands. My suspicions were confirmed when she touched my hand to take my pulse. It was indeed smooth. So, I suspected that she is a woman who wears man’s clothes."

"That... But he truly acted like a man. Her mannerisms too..." Ning Shoukai recalled the moment they were travelling together.

Bai Xifeng really did not act like a girl. She was not shy like a normal young girl. And she always stayed close to Lord Yueliang.

"She acted like a man to protect herself. Look at herself. If she dressed like a girl, do you think she can be safe from lewd men? It is the layer of protection for her." Ruan Chu understood Bai Xifeng’s ways.

"But she is stronger than me." Ning Shoukai remembered how Bai Xifeng fought with the mud-blood boars.

"So, what? If the lewd men gang her up, she might be dangerous." Ruan Chu stated. "It seems Sir Bai did not have any intention to tell us about this matter. I think we should keep this matter a secret."

"I understand, Mother." Ning Shoukai said.

Ning Zhaofeng gasped as he remembered something. The mother and son looked at Ning Zhaofeng as they tried to ask why Ning Zhaofeng looked so shocked.

"No wonder... No wonder." Ning Zhaofeng repeated the words.

"No wonder what, Father?" Ning Shoukai asked.

"No wonder Lord Yueliang looked angry when you stood up closely to Sir Bai." Ning Zhaofeng said.

Ning Shoukai was shocked. "Father, what do you mean by that?"

"Lord Yueliang probably already know about Sir Bai’s true identity. When you talk to Sir Bai, Lord Yueliang often make you distance yourself from Sir Bai, right?" Ning Zhaofeng asked Ning Shoukai.

When Ning Shoukai remembered back, Lord Yueliang indeed had done that. If Lord Yueliang did not make him move, Lord Yueliang would pull Bai Xifeng away from him.

"No wonder." Ning Shoukai nodded himself.

"I never thought that Lord Yueliang would have someone that he likes. If his enemy knows..." Ning Zhaofeng did not finish the statement.

"Don’t tell anyone about this matter. Sir Bai is my savior. I don’t want her to be in danger. As you mentioned earlier, Lord Yueliang has a lot of enemies. If someone knows that Sir Bai is a woman, Lord Yueliang’s enemies would come looking for her." Ruan Chu looked at the father and son.

"Of course, we are not going to tell anymore. Sir Bai is the person who saved my wife’s life. I am grateful toward him." Ning Zhaofeng nodded.

"Sir Bai also saved me before. I will keep this secret with me." Ning Shoukai also nodded.

"Good. Shoukai, you can return to your room." Ruan Chu said.

"Yes, Mother. Father, Mother, good night. Have a good rest." Ning Shoukai said before leaving.
