Feng parted her lips and declared in an almost euphoric voice:
"It's time to rob my family blind."
"Hoh. You truly don't like those peeps."
"Hmph!" She snorted as if the very notion was ridiculous. "Of course not. They sold me away to the main family so that they could suck up to them. They knew my life would be ruined if I were to be wed to that bastard Zhang, but they signed the betrothal anyway. So please don't call them my family…"
Her voice trailed off. A breeze passed, and she glanced aside, hugging her arms. Then, barely above a whisper, she muttered:
"…You're my only family."
Quinlan blinked.
Then smiled softly.
He reached out and gently patted her head, ruffling her dark hair. "Despite being quite the brat, you've somehow found a way into this handsome gentleman's heart as well."
"Hmph…" she snorted again, though her cheeks were pink from the extreme amount of joy she struggled to hide.
