Especially those eyes, it felt as if they could see through clothes.

In short, she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles here.

Xinxin, please come quickly…

“Mother.” At this moment, Xiaofeng ran in, but upon meeting Tian Geng’s gaze, his body clearly shuddered.

“My, isn’t this Xiaofeng.” Tian Geng lit up at the sight of Xiaofeng, “It’s been several months, and you’ve grown even more handsome.” He said, getting up and attempting to touch his head.

Xiaofeng hurriedly ran to Dong Wenxiu’s side.

He had come over to protect his mother after hearing that Tian Geng had arrived; he couldn’t let his mother be put at a disadvantage.

Tian Geng’s hand fell through the air, but he wasn’t embarrassed; instead, he looked deeply at Xiaofeng and then Xiaxia said with a laugh, “You’ve become estranged from your cousin after a few months of not seeing each other…”

“Xiaofeng, say hello.” Dong Wenxiu wasn’t aware of Xiaofeng’s past experiences, so she took her son’s hand.

“This is your cousin from the Tian Family, whom you’ve often seen before, remember?”

“Tian Family cousin.” Although Xiaofeng was reluctant, he still called out.

“Come here, your cousin has brought you some pastries.” Tian Geng beckoned to Xiaofeng.

“Thank you, but we have plenty of pastries at home, and the ones my elder sister makes taste even better.” Xiaofeng didn’t appreciate the gesture and was unwilling to go over.

“You can take them back for Granny to eat.”

“You child…” Tian Geng’s annoyance showed slightly, “becoming so formal with your cousin…” Then he actually came forward to pull Xiaofeng towards him.

But Xiaofeng kept dodging backward.

“Cousin-in-law, why is Xiaofeng as shy as a girl?” Tian Geng laughed, “Boys shouldn’t be like this…”

“Xiaofeng is shy with strangers.” Dong Wenxiu quickly interjected, “Dear cousin, please don’t trouble him…”

“How can that be acceptable?” Tian Geng was determined to pull Xiaofeng to his side, “A boy should act like a boy; this kind of behavior will ruin him.” As he spoke, he scooped up Xiaofeng in his arms.

Suddenly turning pale, Xiaofeng was overwhelmed by past traumas, mouth agape, yet unable to utter a word.

Dong Wenxiu noticed her son’s abnormal reaction and reached out to take him back, but the other side evaded her, and she couldn’t rightly snatch him away.

“Don’t touch the young master.” Little Shanzi suddenly rushed over, ramming into Tian Geng’s stomach, causing him to stagger, and attempted to snatch Xiaofeng away.

“You little brat.” Tian Geng immediately flared up, swinging back his hand and slapping Shanzi.

Little Shanzi was only a bit over six and still a child.

He was knocked to the ground by the slap, with blood coming from the corner of his mouth.

“I didn’t mean to, I…” Tian Geng felt regret after striking, considering he was in the main house, and if something were to happen…

“Wah…” Suddenly, loud crying came from the doorway; it was Little Yezi.

She’d followed Xiaofeng around everywhere since her recovery, knowing visitors were present and that as a servant, she shouldn’t enter the room.

So she’d hidden by the doorway only to witness her brother being hit.

Not yet three years old, the young girl could only cry in fear.

Yang Ruxin had originally thought that Tian Geng wouldn’t misbehave at her home and had told Dong Wenxiu to just deal with him, as it would be a good opportunity for her mother to see those people’s true colors.

However, she had underestimated Tian Geng’s sordidness; upon seeing the angelic Xiaofeng, he couldn’t restrain himself.
