Grew Up Wrong

Seeing Wen Mansha, Wu Heng quickened his pace, put an arm around her shoulders, and sat down beside the chair. "You've worked hard."

"Not at all!" Wen Mansha said sweetly, tilting her head onto his shoulder.

Wu Heng looked at the child drinking milk in her arms. The baby stared back at him with wide eyes.

Big eyes, fair and tender skin.

"She still looks more like you."

"Really?" Wen Mansha gently bounced the child. "Daddy came to see you."

The child kept drinking, milk leaking from the corner of her mouth.

She showed no reaction to their conversation.

"Good girl!" Wu Heng smiled and lightly touched the baby's cheek with a finger.

The infant paused mid-suckle, released the nipple, and let out a milky burp, staring at him with wide eyes.

Then, with a "Waaah," she burst into tears.

The sudden crying startled Wu Heng. At a loss, he looked at Wen Mansha and explained, "She... I didn't do anything."

"It's fine. She's full, so she's probably sleepy." Wen Mansha handed the child to the Female Butler beside her. "Take her upstairs to rest."

The Female Butler took the baby, soothing her softly as she carried her upstairs into the bedroom.

Only the two of them remained in the room.

Wu Heng continued, "Let me tell you something important first."

"What is it?" Wen Mansha looked at him curiously.

"Outside Luntam City, I came across a gathering held by Hags. I rescued four babies from them. Arrange for someone to look for their families and find out whether they were lost or sold."

As Wu Heng spoke, he opened the Mansion Spell and ordered the skeletons inside, "You four, come out."

Four Hags carrying babies walked out.

All the children were asleep and appeared to be unharmed.
