Chapter 962 Big, Bad Wolf

• Ling Nianchu ran back to his house in the backyard; this was the place where Hao Ying had prepared for him after the truth of his birth was exposed. There was not much difference between his place and the main residence, but Ling Nianchu’s house was located in a remote place. Hao Ying made this arrangement so that she could have a peace of mind, disregarding the fact that Ling Nianchu was only a young child at that time.
• Until now, Ling Nianchu didn’t quite understand the truth behind his birth. What he knew was that he had suddenly become Ling Yao’s younger brother instead of his son; Lin Yichun suddenly disappeared; and Hao Ying no longer allowed him to call her Granny anymore. Seeing how Hao Ying always got angry and glared at Ling Nianchu whenever she saw him, she wouldn’t even play with him at all.
• Hence, he was staying in the backyard by himself now. Although his lifestyle was the same as before, he seemed to have been forgotten by everyone. Not only that, he was also frequently tortured by nightmares—he kept dreaming about covering a baby boy’s nose in the hospital’s nursery when he was younger. As he grew up, the number of nightmares he had increased as he understood more about the world. Besides, he would also jolt awake during thunderstorms and shudder under the covers. Under such living conditions, Ling Nianchu became somewhat autistic because he seldom interacted with other people.
