172: Don't think too much, I never blame you

Bai Wanning's eyes narrowed, and she immediately grasped the key point: "She's distributing water? But didn't I have someone bring a whole barrel of water to fill your canteens?"

Before she left, she had specifically instructed to fill everyone's water bottles, so why was Lu Yin distributing water again?

"Hmm," Mo He blinked, his expression lazy, "Sister Lu said she brought a few canteens of water from home, just in case."

"Heh." Bai Wanning scoffed lightly, a mocking curl on her lips.

Just in case?

Lu Yin probably thought she was an idiot, didn't she? The water bottles she brought weren't for emergencies at all, but to deliberately establish her authority within the team, to overshadow her, and make others think Bai Wanning was incompetent and unreliable.

Lu Yin was clever, but Bai Wanning could see through her little schemes at a glance.

She had to admit, Lu Yin's ability to annoy people was truly no less than Bai Xue's.

Bai Wanning was too lazy to speak, she tilted her head slightly, crossed her arms, and watched coldly, her eyes full of disdain.

She disdained to compete with a little girl who was only half her age and a step below her in strength.

But hearing Mo He's words, anger still rose in her heart.

Lu Yin's abilities didn't even qualify her to be compared to her.

So what if she awakened an ability? Bai Wanning was currently a Level Three, and about to break through to Level Four.

She also had a secret manual in hand, a solid foundation, and abundant resources. What about Lu Yin? Want to catch up to her? Simply ridiculous!

This woman actually dared to step on her and suppress her behind her back?

Bai Wanning snorted, her face full of disdain.

Lu Yin's petty actions were not a threat to her, but an insult.

Although Mo He was a bit slow, he could tell that Bai Wanning seemed unhappy. He looked at the two of them blankly, completely not understanding what was happening.

But Lei Qian keenly caught the change in Bai Wanning's mood. He certainly knew she disliked Lu Yin the most, and now that Lu Yin was secretly playing tricks again, it would naturally displease her.

The more Lei Qian thought about it, the more his head ached. He had originally only wanted to maintain superficial peace with Lu Yin, but he didn't expect her to cause him trouble again.

"What do you know?" He raised his hand and slapped Mo He on the back of his head, his tone unkind, "Can mineral water compare to Wanning's water? Of course not, how could the water Wanning personally condensed be worse than outside water?"

After speaking, he turned to look at Bai Wanning, smiling ingratiatingly: "Right, Wanning?"

Bai Wanning didn't say a word, just gave him a faint glance, then looked at Mo He.

Lei Qian immediately elbowed the still-stunneding man next to him hard.

"Oh, right, Sister Wanning, please don't take my words to heart, I'm not good with words." Mo He realized he had stepped on a landmine and immediately backed off.

At the same time, he also remembered Bai Wanning's dislike for Lu Yin, vowing to stay far away from Lu Yin in the future.

He wasn't familiar with her to begin with, and now that this had happened, it was best not to mention that woman in front of Bai Wanning.

Bai Wanning disliked Lu Yin, which meant Lei Qian also had no good feelings for that woman. If that was the case, wouldn't he be a fool to approach Lu Yin again?

Mo He fled after speaking, worried that if he was a step slower, he would offend Bai Wanning.

After the man left, Lei Qian turned to Bai Wanning and said, "Can I sleep inside?"

"No." Bai Wanning looked at the man with some impatience. Just because she let him hold her finger, he was becoming more and more greedy. Why should she let him sleep with her in the car?

"Then where do I sleep?" Lei Qian blinked, asking with an innocent expression.

"Sleep in Ah Yan's car."

"It's already occupied by Wang Ba and Meng Qibao."

"Then take a sleeping bag and sleep in the farmhouse."

"There's no sleeping bag, you gave the last one to that old woman from the Jiang family."

Bai Wanning glared at the annoying man who was lingering around her, her teeth itching with anger, but she still forced herself to remain calm.

She wanted to bite this man to death, but that didn't mean she could. If she killed her youngest son's father, how would she explain it to Xiao Cai when he asked about his dad?

She rolled her eyes and said coldly, "Do whatever you want."

After speaking, she lay down in the back seat, closed her eyes, and prepared to sleep.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, she felt someone rubbing her feet. She was startled, opened her eyes, and saw Lei Qian gently rubbing her feet with his warm hands. "What are you doing?" she asked nervously.

Did this man notice something?

"You were a bit unsteady when you walked just now, I noticed you kept hopping from left foot to right foot." Lei Qian replied.

Bai Wanning heard his answer and breathed a sigh of relief.

She really wanted to pull her feet away from his hands, but the feeling was so comfortable that she couldn't resist.

Finally, she closed her eyes again and continued to sleep.

As she was half-asleep, she heard Lei Qian ask, "Wanning, do you really hate me?"

Bai Wanning slightly opened her eyes. She glanced at the man who was rubbing her feet and said faintly, "Why would I hate you?"

Lei Qian swallowed, raised his head, and looked at her. "Why don't you hate me? I'm the one who harmed you."

"Didn't you say you were also drunk? Did you lie?" she asked coldly, and Lei Qian immediately shook his head.

"No, I didn't."

"Then why are you asking so many meaningless questions?" Bai Wanning snorted. "If there's an apology to be made, it should be me."

Lei Qian looked up in surprise. He asked, "No, why would you..."

"I was also trying to get rid of that old pervert." Bai Wanning slowly recalled what happened that night.

Now she vaguely understood that she had rushed into Lei Qian's room and begged him for shelter.

How could a man who was dead drunk resist the temptation of a woman begging for "help"?

In fact, Bai Wanning was even glad that it was Lei Qian who came, and not that old pervert.

She didn't know much about the old man Bai Qingshi had set her up with, but since Chu Chuxia and Bai Xue were the ones pushing him, how could that old man be any good?

She had heard snippets of information about that old man, and not a single one was positive.

The man was a sadist who enjoyed torturing his partners in various ways. There were also rumors that he had an incurable disease.

If she had truly fallen into that man's hands, she would probably have been finished long ago.

Thinking of this, her hands involuntarily covered her lower abdomen, and her expression softened. Lei Qian... how did she get pregnant with Xiao Cai? In a sense, Lei Qian gave her the family she had yearned for in her previous life.

If it weren't for Xiao Cai, she would never have had the chance to have even a shred of warm memories. And all her beautiful memories were related to that youngest son.

"But I..."

"Don't overthink it." Bai Wanning closed her eyes, her voice as soft as a dream, "I've never blamed you... After all, you saved me more than once."

Lei Qian was even more confused by her words, but he had no chance to ask what she meant by "saved me more than once," because Bai Wanning had already closed her eyes and fallen into a deep sleep. Seeing her asleep, Lei Qian sighed and no longer disturbed her.
