My Scheming Little Devil

This kind-hearted woman, who doesn’t know her true nature, feels sorry for her and wants to adopt her.

She felt increasingly guilty. She initially approached this woman only to use her to get close to the Councilman’s wife, but this woman has always been so good to her and has taken care of her attentively these days.

Oh God, she felt so ashamed.

"Do you want to?" Seeing Yiyi without much surprise on her face, Madam Aisha’s eyes dimmed, feeling a bit sad, but she barely managed a smile, "You don’t want to, do you? Never mind, my request is too abrupt. You’re already grown up, maybe you don’t need care."

"No, that’s not it!" Seeing her self-blaming expression, her gentle eyes filled with loneliness and sadness, Yiyi’s heart was moved.

Indeed, she herself didn’t need a mother; only those who lacked love required motherly affection. She had been pampered by her parents since childhood, never lacking the nurture of familial love.

However, clearly, this poor woman needed family and love to save her.

The help and care Madam Aisha gave her needed to be repaid, and indeed, this woman was too pitiable. In this world, calling her "mother" and fulfilling her desire to have a child would be a beautiful thing.

Moreover, Yiyi thought it over, relying on Young Master Ling Kong as a backing was risky because he was too smart and keen. If he discovered her intentions, he might go to great lengths to prevent her from leaving, and this backing might become a ticking time bomb, which would truly be shooting herself in the foot.

Now there was a new choice, and clearly being the Governor’s daughter seemed more reliable.

"Madam Aisha, I was just... startled, and momentarily overwhelmed. Of course, I would be willing to accept if you wish to adopt me."

Madam Aisha’s eyes shone, overwhelmed with joy and disbelief, her excitement bringing tears to her eyes.

She reached out to hug her, her voice trembling, "Then you will be my daughter from now on."

"Yes, I am your daughter, Mother!" Yiyi soothed her excited emotions, her own mood lifting as well. The feeling of saving someone was truly wonderful.

Hearing this word "mother," Madam Aisha was so moved she closed her eyes, tears streaming down.

Of course, adopting Yiyi was obviously not a simple matter.

Firstly, it had to be approved by Ji Lingkong, though Yiyi was extremely displeased, complaining about why her affairs had to be approved by that Eldest Young Master.

Madam Aisha was startled, her eyes widening, and she earnestly explained to her that the noble class of the Aus Empire was very strict, and as the son of the Grand Councilman, his status was much higher than theirs, so seeking his approval was necessary.

Moreover, in the future, she should not be so disrespectful to Young Master Ling Kong; her tone should be respectful, and she should perform noble etiquette when meeting him.

Yiyi felt a headache and couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Really? In this day and age, there were still such heavy class distinctions here; it was really backward. It seemed becoming the Governor’s daughter was not easy, with a bunch of nobles above her.

But never mind that. She was too lazy to mingle with those nobles anyway. Immersing herself in studies and striving to get into the Institute of Technology was the right path.

Yiyi was actually a bit afraid that Ji Lingkong would refuse, so she called to test the waters, and unexpectedly, Ji Lingkong, after careful consideration, actually agreed and even said he would help transfer her identity information from Yalan Country.

This guy was unexpectedly so easy-going.

Yiyi couldn’t help but feel surprised, but regardless, having his help was even better. It seemed she was truly fortunate.
