"Who's talking?" Bai Xiao's mind spun like a top as she tried to place the voice.
"Oh? Is that you, Stepmom?" Just then, Gu Luosheng suddenly appeared in front of Bai Xiao, giving her a fright.
"You know me?" Looking at the outrageously beautiful girl before her, Bai Xiao suddenly felt hostile.
Wasn't that son she'd acquired for free supposed to dislike women?
How had a woman moved into the house while she'd been away?
"Of course. I hear my husband mention you all the time. He says you work tirelessly without complaint, always helping unclog the toilets, and you cook, too-four meals a day. And on top of that, you look almost human-oops, I mean, you're a breathtaking beauty." Gu Luosheng really laid on the praise.
Bai Xiao: ???
The first part had been a load of nonsense, making her sound like a maid, but the ending wasn't bad.
Bai Xiao was just about to smile when the girl continued.
"You have that whole beauty-imitating-an-ugly-woman vibe. You look like the ugly one." Gu Luosheng blinked her big, sparkling eyes and spoke with utter innocence.
"What did you say?" Bai Xiao flew into a rage. People could call her lazy and gluttonous, but they absolutely could not call her ugly!
"Don't get worked up, Stepmom. I know your outfit is dangerously revealing, but your face is perfectly safe. You don't need to worry about anyone lusting after you." Gu Luosheng folded her hands in front of her and lowered her eyes demurely. She really looked like an innocent child, the kind whose every word seemed believable.
The chill in Ye Nanshen's heart vanished, leaving only delight.
He couldn't help it. The moment his clever little Shengsheng showed up, even a battlefield could turn into a comedy show.
Who knew what
