Liang Anya looked at Vivi: "Xiaoxiao is used to being breastfed and having milk. I’d like to come and feed Xiaoxiao every day."

If she could come to see Xiaoxiao every day, she would at least feel a little relieved.

Vivi’s expression slightly changed, Xiaoxiao needs several meals a day.

If Liang Anya came over several times a day, would they still be separated as mother and daughter?

What difference does it make compared to living with her?!

She decisively said, "No need to trouble Miss Liang. I will hire a special wet nurse nanny, who will add breast milk to Miyasha’s milk every day until Miyasha slowly gets used to not drinking breast milk."

Liang Anya’s face turned pale.

"Alright, please leave, Miyasha needs to sleep now." Vivi’s tone was already a bit impatient, waving her hand.

"Vivi—" Liang Anya was about to step forward and say more, but was pulled back by Beth, and could only silently glance at Xiaoxiao not far away before leaving with Beth.

...

After leaving Vivi’s residence, Liang Anya walked a long way down the hallway, silently and quietly.

Beth followed behind, feeling a bit apprehensive.

Miss Liang’s silence was more desperate than the loud argument the night before, demanding the Hall Master return Xiaoxiao to her.

"Miss Liang... don’t worry too much, maybe in a little while the Hall Master will give Xiaoxiao back to you?" Beth couldn’t help but console her.

But this reassurance was like a strong stimulant, bringing Anya to a sudden halt before she suddenly ran upstairs, frantically!

She ran breathlessly to the top floor.

Outside his room, as usual, there were subordinates guarding.

Seeing the situation, a few people stepped forward to stop her.

Ignoring the risk of getting hurt, she charged towards the human wall with all her might, shouting, "Si Yuheng, come out, let’s talk! I won’t argue with you!"

"Miss Liang, please calm down, the Hall Master didn’t say he wanted to see you—"

"He didn’t say he wanted to see me, but I want to see him!" she continued to struggle, forced her way through several times, her elbows and knees hurting from hitting the human wall, but she wouldn’t give up.

"Miss Liang, why are you doing this to yourself? You will get hurt this way," the subordinates advised.

"Let me meet with Si Yuheng, just for once!"

"No, Miss Liang, if this continues, we will really be rude to you..."

Before they finished speaking, the room door slammed open, and a tall, domineering figure walked out, looking over coldly.

The subordinates looked over: "Hall Master—"

He finally agreed to see her!

Liang Anya realized: "Si Yuheng, did you really let Vivi take care of Xiaoxiao?"

"Yes." His single word dashed her hopes.

"Si Yuheng, Xiaoxiao is so young, and you let her leave me? Splitting a mother and daughter, don’t you have a heart?"

"I only know that following an unreliable mother won’t do her any good. Don’t worry, Vivi is very attentive, there will be no problem taking care of Xiaoxiao."

"Si Yuheng... no matter how attentive Vivi is, she is not Xiaoxiao’s mother. Can anyone else take better care of her than I can?!"

"Sweetheart, you as a mother aren’t necessarily better than other women. Don’t forget, in China, you weren’t even as good at changing diapers, and it was your father who helped you take care of your granddaughter. I think your mental age is not much older than Xiaoxiao." He teased.

"..." She blushed deeply.

"In any case, behave yourself in the meantime. Don’t do anything to dissatisfy me, and I might consider letting Xiaoxiao move back to live with you. Otherwise," his eyes flashed, shrugging.

Her nose tingled, and she slowly walked toward him.

The subordinates saw her mood stabilizing a bit, exchanged glances, and made way.

She walked up to Si Yuheng, raising her trembling face: "Xiaoxiao has never been apart from me for a day. When I just went over, she was crying, and when I arrived, she stopped. Si Yuheng, do you know how a mother feels when she can’t see her child? No matter how I upset you, please punish me in another way, okay?"

She rarely used such a soft and humble tone with him.

In front of him, she was always a fierce wildcat.

At this moment, her eyes were full of tears, her whole being fragile as if she could collapse into a porcelain doll with a touch.

Almost instantly, Si Yuheng felt a pang in his heart, but eventually, his feelings settled: "I don’t want to repeat what I just said."

With that, he slammed the door shut.

The corridor returned to silence.

Beth rushed over to support Liang Anya: "Miss Liang, you heard him, the Hall Master made it very clear, in a little while, Xiaoxiao will be brought back."

Liang Anya felt as if all her strength had been drained, following Beth back downstairs in a daze, unable to hear Beth’s consolations.

Will Xiaoxiao be returned to her in a little while?

When exactly is this "little while"?

A month? Two months?

Half a year? Or even a year?

Or does it depend on that man’s fickle mood?

Even though she is her biological daughter, why must she be entrusted to another woman to care for?!

Last night, she still held a sliver of hope, thinking that Si Yuheng might just be scaring her, and by the next day he’d return Xiaoxiao to her.

But now, she realized the seriousness of the situation.

He was serious and wasn’t planning to return Xiaoxiao to her, even temporarily.

She thought she could remain indifferent, as Beth said, letting Vivi take Xiaoxiao and waiting for Si Yuheng to change his mind and return Xiaoxiao to her.

But going to Vivi’s room this morning, upon seeing Xiaoxiao whom she hadn’t seen all night, she realized she simply couldn’t do it.

The tears she’d held back for so long gushed out uncontrollably. She squatted down, hugging her knees and crying.

Beth was startled, yet no matter what, she couldn’t be consoled.

***********************

After locking herself in the room for several days, Liang Anya looked noticeably thinner and pale.

That day, Beth saw her push aside her meal after a few bites and finally couldn’t stand it anymore: "Why not go downstairs for a walk?"

When she first arrived in A Country, Miss Liang was quite good at entertaining herself, keeping busy playing with the baby, surfing the internet, reading, chatting to learn about the local culture, walking the dogs, basking in the sun...

These past few days, she seemed like an eggplant hit by frost, wilted.

Liang Anya sat on the window seat, hugging her knees, shaking her head.

What mood is there for anything? Besides, what is there to do downstairs? Before she could walk the dogs, and now...

Isn’t it just a reminder of what she was feeling even more?!

Thinking of the King and Queen, she couldn’t help but feel a sting in her heart again.

These past few days, she hadn’t seen the King and Queen again and didn’t dare to ask about the dogs’ current situation either.

But considering what happened with Xiaoxiao, this man was truly ruthless and heartless. The King and Queen were probably also doomed, with dire fates!

Thinking of this, she clenched her fists, grinding her teeth.

Si Yuheng... you heartless, cold, merciless beast!

Beth saw she still refused to move and her eyes turned: "Miss Liang, just now when I brought your meal from the kitchen, I heard the other servants say that the nanny might take Xiaoxiao downstairs for some sun later."
