Qiao Mu picked up a round fruit from a nearby wooden pail and fed it to the red-crowned crane. She was playing happily with the large crane and naturally ignored the servants' fearful gazes.
Truthfully, she hadn't even seen how Song Yingxiu ran away in tears after being severely reprimanded by Second Young Master Qin. She just stroked the crane's feathers, oblivious to everyone around her.
"Hah." Second Young Master Qin snickered.
Qiao Mu suddenly felt an icy presence nearing her. She reflexively patted the crane's head and then leaped backwards, dodging the second young master's outstretched palm.
Second Qin's hand froze in mid-air. It unexpectedly missed the little fellow by more than an inch, not even grazing a hair on her body.
How preposterous!
"If you're attempting to draw this young master's attention with your peculiar actions, then you've succeeded!"
