7 Stay With Me Tonigh

After a lot of struggle, Anna finally made it to her bed, both her and Xiao Xiao were panting from exhaustion

"Mi...Anna, we need to get you a new wheel chair"

Anna nodded, her previous wheel chair was given to her by her father, apart from the black card she had, that was the only gift he had ever given her.

It was custom made, it took at least a month to make the last one and to be honest, she really didn't want to ask her father for anything right now.

BANG!

The door flung open, Clara walked in angrily and walked towards Anna's bed.

Anna took a deep breath, waiting for her unreasonable scolding.

"How dare you try to seduce the general's most trusted man, you really are like your mother, seducing men you shouldn't have"

Anna fought the urge to roll her eyes, yes her mother was a mistress but her mother was also her father's first love, at least that was what her mother told her but then 'someone' got married to him, it was just an arranged marriage

"You.....you are going to keep quiet?, you fool! you better not tell your father about this incident or else..."

"Or else what?" Anna's voice was calm, she was also getting bored of this woman's threats, her bark was always worse than her bite but now even her bark is like a pup's

"Are you going to lock me up in my room and starve me for three days?"

Clara was deep in thoughts considering the idea when Anna spoke up again

"Too bad, you did that last year September to punish me for....'touching your daughter' was it?"

You might also be thinking of locking me outside the house for a night..... you already did that"

After listing a bunch of punishments she had already done, Xiao Xiao was trying really hard to hold her laughter.

"You...." Clara was angrily glaring at Anna.

Anna looked at the woman and for the first time in her life, she was not afraid when she saw that angry look, she didn't shiver when she saw those eyes

Her expression reflected her emotions, Calm.

"So you now have the mouth to talk huh?, you think you've succeeded in seducing that man so now he will protect you?

let me tell you, they only have a few days before they leave and then, it will be between me and you!"

Anna looked at Clara, she was right.

Once the general's people leave, Clara would have no reason to hide her intentions, she would do whatever she wanted

"Well, till the time I leave she will be under my protection" Bai Sheng who had come to check on Anna walked into this scene

he had no choice but to speak up, her threats were getting ridiculous.

"Mr Bai Sheng"

Clara now had a warm smile on her face "I think you have misunderstood the whole situation, I was just telling her not tobother you too much while you are here and that she should be more careful.....right Anna?"

Clara secretly glared at Anna as if giving her a warning.

Anna stared at the man and couldn't help but feel warm, he said he would protect her. He was the first person after her mother's death to ever promise that.

"She is lying" Anna said indifferently, as expected Clara's expression turned ugly

"You bitch!"

Clara knew she had no reason to be there anymore, she couldn't say anything in front of Bai Sheng so she just walks away.

After Clara left, the room became exceptionally quiet, Anna stared at Bai Sheng with bright eyes while Bai Sheng didn't know what to say, he had never really done this before

"Mr Zhang?, did you want something?"

Anna finally broke the silence

Hearing her soft voice call out to him, hefinally was able to speak "I came to check on you, you were outside for so long I wanted to make sure you didn't fall sick"

Xiao Xiao widened her eyes in surprise, this was the first time she had heard him speak so many words.

Bai Sheng noticed her expression and sighed, it was not like he didn't like talking, he just only likes talking to people he feels free with and Anna happened to be one of those people, the first girl in a long time that doesn't look at him like he was some snack.

"Thank you for your concern Mr Zhang"

"Just call me Bai Sheng, no need to be formal with me"

Anna nodded, he was one of her first friends in years, she didn't even have a friend when she was in the village with her mother.

"I feel fine actually, there's no need to worry "

Bai Sheng nodded, remembering something he turned to look at her "Does she....usually treat you that way?" Anna already knew who the 'she' he was speaking of was

"All the time, I am sort of used to it now"

Anna smiled, she was already used to it...

"If anything like that happens again, do not hesitate to tell me" Bai Sheng couldn't help it, he was also insulted and bullied alot when he was young, he dint want her to go through thesame thing.

"Thank you Bai Sheng"

"Hmm"

After keeping her company for a while, Bai Sheng finally left, leaving only Anna and Xiao Xiao in the room.

"Xiao Xiao? "

"Yes miss Anna, I mean Anna!"

Xiao Xiao corrected herself quickly, Anna laughed at her cute actions

"Could you stay here with me tonight?"

Xiao looked at Anna, she normally read novels about people who got reincarnatedand instantly change characters.

"Are you really Miss Anna?"

Anna laughed really hard, was she really that different?

"Yes...yes I am"

Xiao smiled brightly, she got on the bed and moved closer to Anna.

"Goodnight Anna"

"Hmm, Goodnight Xiao Xiao ".
