Chapter 1276: Chapter 1271: Naming, Ning

She had been nurturing Xiao Yu since he was a child and knew all too well how hard it was for him to rise from being the legitimate Eldest Young Master to the position of the head of the Xiao family. He had faced death several times, nearly not surviving, which is why he had developed a heart of steel and always stood in an invincible position within the Xiao family.

But now…

Ever since Su Miaoyan came into his life, he had taken on a more human and lively air, appearing more like a young master with flesh and blood, but he had ultimately lost the decisive cruelty that a family head should have.

“Enough,” Xiao Yu said coldly, cutting her off, “Please take care of Yan’er, aunt. I will ensure your safe departure.”

Aunt Yin sighed heavily and went to Su Miaoyan’s side.

She held no dissatisfaction toward Su Miaoyan, but looking at this naïve girl, her worries deepened.

...

Su Miaoyan was trying her best to feed the child, but she didn’t understand why she had no milk. She looked up at Aunt Yin with big, innocent, and pitiful eyes, “Aunt, why don’t I have any milk? My mother said, after giving birth, a woman should be able to feed her child. I want to feed the baby too.”

“Madam has been frightened post-delivery, and her body is in poor health. It’s normal to lack milk temporarily. You’ll need proper nourishment to produce milk for the child,” replied Aunt Yin.

Aunt Yin had hidden a small bag of milk on her person during their escape and used it to feed the child, but it was ultimately not enough. After one night, there was no more to give.

They had been in the secret passage for five days when the small child finally couldn’t bear it any longer and cried out. Aunt Yin could no longer soothe him, nor could Su Miaoyan, and only when Xiao Yu picked him up and lightly kissed him on his forehead did the baby quiet down.

Watching this scene, Su Miaoyan immediately stopped sniffling and smiled through her tears, “Yu brother, the baby listens to you!”

Aunt Yin also found it quite miraculous. Despite Xiao Yu not having much time to hold the baby, as soon as the child was in his arms, he would spontaneously settle down, sucking on his own finger, and after he glanced at Xiao Yu with his slightly opened eyes, he would coo.

Xiao Yu looked down at the child with a gentle voice, “I thought of many names for you before, but none seem suitable now. For the time being, let’s call you Ningning. When we break through the encirclement tomorrow, you also need to be quiet and obedient.”

“Ah~”

Ningning opened his little mouth and let out a coo as if responding to Xiao Yu, promising to be good.

Su Miaoyan laughed joyfully, “The baby is so cute! And he listens to Yu brother—you must love him a lot.”

“Yes, Ningning is very obedient,” Xiao Yu said as he placed the child into Su Miaoyan’s arms, ruffled her hair, and enveloped her with a tender gaze, “I will lead you and the child out of here to a new sense of peace.”

Su Miaoyan nodded obediently, “I believe, Yu brother is the most remarkable! He will surely protect me and Ningning.”

Her unconditional admiration and trust in Xiao Yu were his greatest sources of encouragement.

Aunt Yin stood silently to the side, suddenly feeling that this family of three was very warm.

If they were an ordinary family, no matter the storm, they could walk through it together.

But sadly…

They were in the Xiao family.

When Xiao Yu and the Falcon Guard charged out of the secret passage, they unsurprisingly encountered an ambush by Xiao Muyan. Like the monsters that had attacked Xiao Yu’s compound that night, they were faced with a horde that could not be killed by knives alone. Xiao Yu knew these were gu corpses controlled by the princess of Ji Yun Country. He had taught the Falcon Guard how to decapitate to defeat the enemy, but with the enemy in greater numbers, they could only keep fleeing.
