Bai Ruozhu let Fang Guizhi leave, fed Dengdeng in frustration, and applied an ice-cold compress to her lips followed by a mitigating ointment before heading out to the stall.
"Why are you so late today? Have you not been feeling well?" Lin Ping'er asked worriedly.
Bai Ruozhu repeated what she had said to Fang Guizhi. Lin Ping'er sighed in relief, "I was afraid you might be tired, having to take care of the baby at night isn't easy."
Bai Ruozhu chuckled and said, "It's fine. I will rest at home if I get tired. I'm not the type who likes to show off my abilities."
Lin Ping'er gave her an accusing look, wiped her wet hands on a cloth, and said, "You are the last person I would trust with that, considering how often you've been overconfident. Didn't the benefactor say the same about you?"
