Obsessively Raised by My Doll 118

Chapter 118

—Then you tell me who you are.

The atmosphere inexplicably fell silent.

Good, she had successfully backed herself into a corner.

And she couldn’t even blame anyone else, only herself for not being able to tell the truth from the beginning.

And so, step by step, it had come to this.

Zheng Xuening took a deep breath, stared at the girl’s soft and tender face, and squeezed out a sentence.

“I’m afraid you won’t believe me if I tell you.”

Perhaps because she had come into contact with the cultivation method, Lu Dieqing’s five senses were much sharper than before. She vaguely felt a few strong fluctuations of thought from the little doll.

This feeling was very hard to describe. It just felt that the doll was a little more lively than before, as if it had really come to life.

My little doll is nervous.

Lu Dieqing heard her own coaxing voice.

“Go on, I’ll definitely believe you.”

Though she said that, in her heart, Lu Dieqing herself was not very confident.

Lu Dieqing was extremely curious.

A huge mystery was finally about to be revealed. Her heart was even pounding with a little excitement.

Who on earth was Xinxin!

Lu Dieqing didn’t even dare to blink, just stared at the wooden doll, half in anticipation and half in nervousness.

The last time she had been so nervous, it seemed, was when she had tried to awaken the little doll.

“Take a guess.”

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but Zheng Xuening kept her in suspense, slowly teasing the girl.

Lu Dieqing: “I can’t guess.”

A few names had indeed flashed through her mind, but the moment those names entered her head, she had subconsciously denied them.

She had never tried to picture an image of Xinxin in her mind before.

So when she tried to confirm the other’s identity and connect her to any human, she felt a little resistant.

Because if Xinxin was just Xinxin, then she belonged only to her, Lu Dieqing.

It represented complete possession.

But if the other had another identity, then…

Whether it was her basic conscience or her respect for an independent person, she could no longer take it for granted that “Xinxin” belonged only to her.

“Lu Dieqing, you’re a little fool.”

Zheng Xuening couldn’t hold it in any longer.

Her little rabbit was like a little tortoise that only moved when it was poked.

She was so slow at times when she should be sharp, yet so intelligent at times when she shouldn’t be.

“Do you remember the day you asked me to deliver a letter to the Crown Princess?”

Zheng Xuening had to lead the other by the hand to discover the “clues.”

Lu Dieqing blinked, a certain hesitation seeming to flash across her charming little face.

“…I remember.”

Zheng Xuening: “The sky prison is heavily guarded. I’ve never been there before. How would I know which room she was in? And this doll’s body is so small and inconvenient to walk in. How could I have made a round trip in one night without being discovered by anyone? Have you never suspected this?”

Lu Dieqing was dazed. As she looked at the wooden doll, she slowly took a small step back.

She looked like a little animal about to shrink back, her round almond eyes filled with panic and doubt.

Zheng Xuening had never seen this girl look at her with such eyes before.

“You’re not trying to tell me that you’re… Ningning, are you?”

The girl’s voice was soft, with no force, and even a little pitiful.

Zheng Xuening was helpless. “If I say I am, will you believe me?”

She had known that there would be a day of showdown, and she had also thought about how to say it.

But when this moment really came, she had a feeling of being full of mouths but unable to explain clearly.

And it was her own past concealment that had caused all this.

Lu Dieqing slowly turned her body, her back to the little doll, showing only her back.

She looked really cute. Even when she was angry, she was still delicate.

But Zheng Xuening was really panicking.

“Why aren’t you speaking?”

The little doll awkwardly tried to coax her, controlling the doll’s body to move over.

However, the girl who had doted on her so much in the past didn’t even look at her this time, not even facing her.

Although Lu Dieqing didn’t say a word, her whole body exuded an air of “hmph.”

She was sulking.

And the kind that couldn’t be coaxed.

Lu Dieqing had always been a good-natured girl, with a soft temper, not holding grudges, and always giving people a feeling of being soft and easy to pinch.

But when she was really angry, though she didn’t say a single harsh word, she could make people inexplicably panic.

Zheng Xuening, a person who did not show her emotions, couldn’t help but lose her own rhythm when she saw the girl showing her the back of her head.

The little doll stopped on Lu Dieqing’s thigh and moved a little.

“You… don’t ignore me.”

These words were said dryly, completely devoid of the domineering air she had had as the Crown Princess before.

Lu Dieqing raised her chin.

“I’m angry. I don’t believe you.”

After a pause, the girl’s voice softened a little, and then she picked up the little doll again, held it high, and placed it at her eye level.

“How do you expect me to believe you? You say you’re Ningning, but if you were Ningning, you should have told me earlier instead of hiding it from me. Otherwise… it makes me look like a little fool.”

Speaking of this, the girl’s voice dropped, a little choked.

Zheng Xuening panicked. “It was my fault,” she admitted quickly.

Lu Dieqing, however, shook her head.

“My anger hasn’t subsided. I still don’t believe you.”

“If you are Ningning, then when you said before that only one of you and Ningning could be with me, you were deliberately making things difficult for me.”

“If you are Ningning, then on the way to the forbidden land, you had many opportunities to tell me the truth. Even on the way back, you could have, but you didn’t.”

So wronged, and still angry.

The tears that had been welling up in the girl’s eyes for a long time fell, one and then two.

Zheng Xuening’s heart trembled along with them.

She had made her little rabbit cry after all.

She had thought of this scene, and knew that hiding it would bring some bad results, but she had not been able to face this matter at the first opportunity, and had delayed it to this point, causing such…

“I’m sorry. I should have said it earlier.”

Zheng Xuening’s mouth had been very hard in the past. She had never shown weakness to anyone, but all this seemed to have changed after meeting Lu Dieqing.

She was beginning to be willing to open her mouth to explain, even if she was the one to coax the other with a soft voice first.

After doing this once or twice, she slowly became skilled at it.

“Wait for me a moment.”

The little doll gently rubbed Lu Dieqing’s fingers, like a butterfly flapping its wings on a flower petal.

Lu Dieqing, with red-rimmed eyes, held the little doll and looked at it for a while, pressing her lips together.

She didn’t know what Xinxin was going to do.

Her heart was a complete mess at this moment.

The things she had once been so sure of had suddenly been overturned.

She had once firmly believed that Xinxin was a little doll that belonged only to her, and that they had each other’s trust.

However, the truth told her that everything was her own wishful thinking.

She was like a little fool who had been kept in the dark.

The more Lu Dieqing thought about it, the sadder she became. She simply lay on the bed and cried.

If Xinxin was really Ningning, she wouldn’t even know what kind of attitude to have towards Ningning tomorrow.

Bad Xinxin, bad Ningning, sob, sob, sob.

Lu Dieqing almost curled into a ball, her heart filled with shame, sadness, and some indescribable complex emotions.

But in fact… in fact, there should also be a pleasant surprise, right?

Compared to Xinxin being someone else, the fact that the other was Ningning seemed to be more acceptable to her.

What made her sad was just… that she had only found out about this now.

Of course, there was also a little bit of… acting cute.

Lu Dieqing shyly covered her face, and found that after her anger had passed, she began to be happy.

The little doll that she had successfully awakened with her own hands was actually her beloved Ningning.

It was as if in this world, there were some more unique secrets between her and Ningning, and they had become a little closer.

It was just that… why was her little doll not speaking anymore?

The moment this thought appeared in the girl’s mind, she heard the voice of the little doll in her heart. “Open the door.”

Huh?

Lu Dieqing was surprised. She looked at the little doll on the bed, and then at the door of the side room.

Is my mother here?

She got up and ran to the door, slowly pulling it open.

As the door was pulled open, Zheng Xuening’s tall and slender figure fell into the room.

Lu Dieqing quickly rushed to catch her.

“You… what’s wrong with you?”

The Crown Princess, who had fallen into her arms, slowly opened her cool, clear eyes.

Her phoenix eyes were not filled with the brightest moon and stars of the night, but only Lu Dieqing.

“I’ve come to coax you.”
