An Xiaoming wasn't a bad kid at heart. After realizing he'd grabbed a wolf cub, his first thought was to let An Ning run.
But when he saw the wolf pack surrounding them, his small body instinctively hid behind An Ning, grabbing the hem of her clothes.
An Ning held the wolf cub in one arm, reaching her other hand back to shield An Xiaoming.
"Don't be afraid. I won't let anything happen to you."
Regardless of An Ercheng or Du Guijuan's behavior, the two families were still connected by blood.
No one wanted anything to happen to a child. If it did, the relationship between the two families would likely be beyond saving, even with their blood ties.
An Ning and the other younger members of the family might not feel it as deeply, but Uncle An and An Sancheng would definitely not be able to bear it.
Being protected by An Ning, An Xiaoming lowered his head in shame.
