Around the same time that Bai Long sent Yailing to meet with Bai Zhen, and Bai Xiu, he went to the Cao family's courtyard with Linxin, Cao Ning, and Zhenya.
"How do you feel Ning'er?"
While she did appreciate the intimate way Bai Long was calling her, Cao Ning knew that he wasn't asking the question out of worry for her.
Instead, he wanted to know if she would go through with his plans, or back out in the middle.
"I'm fine, Master."
Smiling from having expected this answer, Bai Long slowed down and stopped in front of Cao Ning who within those few seconds had already started losing focus on reality and began daydreaming.
"Ning'er."
Coming to her senses immediately, Cao Ning immediately stopped herself from walking into Bai Long who was less than a few inches away.
"Master!"
Ignoring the shocked expression in Cao Ning's face, Bai along wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
