Chapter 152: The Amulet Reappears

Cheng Yang didn’t have the patience to listen to her long speech and interrupted her. “I came back to tell you that Sister won’t be coming back to stay anymore. I’ll arrange for someone to take away the things at home.”

Mother Cheng shouted on the spot, “I won’t allow it!”

Cheng Yang’s expression turned cold as he said, “I’m not asking for your opinion. I’m just here to inform you.”

Mother Cheng said sharply, “Get Cheng Ya to come back and see me. I’ll talk to her directly. She won’t treat me like this.”

Cheng Yang sneered and said, “After what you did back then, how do you think Cheng Ya will treat you?”

Mother Cheng froze and muttered things about it being impossible, but she was no longer as certain as before.

Cheng Yang bent down and whispered in her ear, “You asked for this.”

For the first time, she faced Cheng Yang’s coldness directly. Mother Cheng couldn’t help but take a few steps back, sitting on the floor.

Cheng Yang ignored the disheveled woman on the ground and pulled Xiao Ying to the door. He stopped and said without looking back, “The next time you see Cheng Ya, you’d best not say anything and stay far away from her.”

The two of them had already left the Cheng manor. Cheng Yang did not drive, and Xiao Ying did not make a sound. The two of them walked quietly in the shade.

Xiao Ying suddenly smiled.

Cheng Yang turned and asked, “What are you smiling about?”

Xiao Ying’s eyes were filled with smugness, like a kitten that had found something. She said, “You came to the Cheng manor on purpose for your sister, right?”

Cheng Yang said calmly, “You’re overthinking things. I’m—”

Halfway through, he couldn’t think of an excuse.

Xiao Ying asked, “What is it?”

Cheng Yang’s expression turned cold. “Nothing, I just came back to take a look.”

Xiao Ying did not make things difficult for him anymore. Of course, she did not remind him that his ears were already completely red either. She secretly smiled and spoke about another matter.

“I wonder how Sister and Academician Cheng Yao are doing?”

Cheng Yang didn’t say anything, but Xiao Ying knew that he must be worried too.

After taking two steps, Xiao Ying suddenly jumped onto his back. She threw a tantrum and said, “I don’t want to walk anymore. I’m so tired.”

Fortunately, Cheng Yang was experienced. After all, this was the girl he had carried since she was young. He said disdainfully, “You’ve only walked a few steps. How delicate.” Even so, he carefully straightened her body with his hands and held her legs tightly to protect her.

The sun shone on the two of them, its mottled traces leaving behind a shadow.

Xiao Ying couldn’t take it anymore and fell asleep. Only Cheng Yang could give her such a sense of security.

Cheng Yang noticed her falling asleep and waved for the driver behind to come forward. He carefully moved Xiao Ying from his back into his arms and got into the car. She rolled over and found the most comfortable position to continue sleeping.

Cheng Yang couldn’t help but smile. She hadn’t changed at all. She could always sleep so soundly.

When Xiao Ying woke up again, it was already the next morning. She touched her stomach, which was making noise, and realized that she had woken up from hunger.

Ssss—

A sound that she had not heard for a long time rang out. After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Ying said in surprise, “Amulet, you’re awake?”

There was no response to this question.

After a long while, there was another hissing sound.

Xiao Ying no longer cared about the sound of her own stomach growling. She kept calling out to the amulet. After not receiving a response, she guessed that there was no more energy left. She quickly opened the door, saw the nanny, and asked, “Auntie Wang, where is Cheng Yang?”

Auntie Wang replied, “Sir has already gone to the office. Before he left, he instructed me to wait for you to wake up and cook for you.”

Xiao Ying’s face reddened. He must have guessed that she would wake up from hunger.

Since he had already gone to the office, Xiao Ying was not in a hurry to chase after him. She finished her meal with ease, the “Ssss” sounds ringing in her mind.
