Chapter 228 “Di Xiao Wan VS Lan Xiaoyan (2)”
Looking at the two people who will not agree with each other, Bai Xiachen was rather sad over this fact.
Do they not see me crying? Why are they not stopping yet?
“Little Xiachen,” since arguing wasn’t getting anywhere, the next best option would be to bribe the target. In one swift swing of her hands, Di Xiao Wan had unraveled her satchel for the baby boy: “This is all my belonging. Although it’s not some gold or silver, the stuff inside should still fetch a pretty penny once you barter it off at the shop. This is my gift to you for out first meeting.”
Not hesitating either after seeing her foe’s blatant act of bribery, Chu Yi Yi also pulled out her storage ring for the baby boy, “This is for you too, it’s my personal storage ring containing all my valuables!”
For an instance there, Bai Xiachen was at a loss on what to do as he eyed the two storage items in his tiny palm….
“You want to compete with me?” Scoffing a laugh of annoyance, Di Xiao Wan immediately blew a whistle with her fingers. A minute later, a white streak of light had sliced through the sky to land directly on the ground.
Boom!
Waiting until the crowd regained their composure from the grand entry, a white fluttering figure had caught their attention like a magnet. Dazzling under the beaming light of the sun, this White Phoenix was glorious to the eye.
“This is a white phoenix that I caught on my way here. Little Xiachen, I can see you are lacking in a mount so this will do for now,” patting the phoenix on the head, Di Xiao Wan gave no illusions about her ownership. “However, the White Phoenix is but the lowest of the low in the Phoenix family. When there’s time, I will find you another better one.”
Phoenix? Mount?
Looking at the sweet and pretty face of the young maiden, only a dumbfounded look can be found on the faces of the crowd.
Although the White Phoenix breed was of the lowest in terms of lineage, but it’s still of noble descent! Instead of cherishing it like a treasure, she’s going to toss it aside when there’s time to find another one?
Grumbling at the flaunting act of wealth, Chu Yi Yi had no choice but to admit defeat on this end. Forget about taming a phoenix, she can’t even tame a simple garden bird okay!
“Auntie, Sister Yi Yi, my mother have always taught me since childhood that a gentleman can love money, but they cannot take what is not theirs. These gifts are too valuable, I cannot take them.” Giving the storage ring and storage bag in his hand a one final glance, Bai Xiachen can only reluctantly return the prizes to their rightful owners.
Seeing the disappointed expression on DI Xiao Wan’s face, the baby boy’s clever mindset once again shined in this situation: “However Auntie, I will take this phoenix since its your meeting gift to me. I do need a ride anyways.”
In truth, if he had wanted a white phoenix to use as his mount, his mother would’ve brought one to him long ago. Just that he didn’t want to hurt the girl, hence the reason why he would take the bird despite not needing one.
Sure enough, it worked. Showing a gloating smile, Di Xiao Wan immediately shot a taunting face at Chu Yi Yi to send the girl jumping with steam.
“Sister Yi Yi,” Bai Xiachen’s face was beaming a heart-warming smile. “Though I didn’t take your gift, but I still like you and Godfather a lot. No matter what choice my mother makes in the future, you will always be my family.”
What a sensible child….
The surrounding onlookers were all sighing helplessly after watching.
First was that phrase of not taking what’s not yours, only a properly educated child can utter something so good. Now he’s also comforting his elders for the sake of others. Such a well-behaved child, who can bear to harm such a darling?
While some were mumbling this inside their heart, some were less inclined to keep their thoughts to themselves and outright said it aloud.
“If Bai Yan can educate her son to such an extent, she can’t be bad like what the Bai family says. Besides, that family nearly sold this good child back then, and also set him on fire because he wouldn’t agree.”
