Song Song couldn’t suppress her crying any longer, her voice breaking through intermittently, standing there with her small shoulders trembling fiercely, her head lowered, tears hanging from her long, fan-like lashes, crystal clear.
Sister-in-law Zhou watched, wanting to take her into her arms and comfort her, but someone was here, and she dared not.
At this moment Xiao Jinghuai suddenly spoke up, his tone still cold and hard, "Sister-in-law Zhou, I will have dinner here today, is there enough food in the fridge?"
"Ah!" The change in tone was a bit sudden, Sister-in-law Zhou did not react immediately, and after a moment she realized the true meaning of this sentence—he wanted to be alone with the little girl!
She immediately smiled and said, "Not enough, not enough, I will go to the supermarket right now to buy."
After speaking, Sister-in-law Zhou hurriedly took her exclusive shopping bag and left, Song Song watched her leaving figure, almost rushing to hug her tightly, her little eyes full of helplessness and pity.
How could they leave her alone with the Great Demon King?
Song Song had tears on her small face, and when she met the man’s sharp eyes, she lowered her head again, "Then, then I’ll go write now, okay?"
Xiao Jinghuai did not respond, he only moved to the table, brought over a chair, and sat gracefully, his gaze directly targeting the sobbing little pitiful one, saying, "What benefits did you give to Bao Bei?"
His son never listened to anyone, only holding some fear towards him.
But it was only fear, they couldn’t really be considered intimate father and son.
This girl could win over his heart in such a short period, and even say such cheeky words to his father...
Ha! He found it amusing, and curious.
Song Song opened her round eyes, still holding tears that hadn’t flowed down, looking innocent like a newborn baby, "I... don’t understand Mr. Xiao’s meaning."
Having just cried, her voice wasn’t as bright and clear as usual, with a slight hoarseness, yet inexplicably penetrating.
It went straight into Xiao Jinghuai’s heart.
Making him experience a strange itch at his chest.
Xiao Jinghuai deliberately ignored this feeling, thinking he hadn’t been around women for too long, and now felt something for this little girl.
"Bao Bei really likes you now, even going so far as to say some... very disrespectful things to me for you."
"Oh, oh, that’s because..."
No, she couldn’t say. It was a little secret between her and Bao Bei, and if she said it now, her examination might be turned into 20,000 words.
The risk was too big, no, she couldn’t say.
"I, I also don’t know," Song Song said as she hung her little head, "Maybe it’s because I’m more approachable!"
Xiao Jinghuai’s pupils suddenly constricted, his gaze burning as he looked at the girl, her state now was surprisingly similar to Bao Bei’s after being scolded by him.
He thought, lately he had paid too much attention to her, which was why he had this illusion.
"Speak the truth!"
Xiao Jinghuai once again coldly voiced.
Song Song was frightened, her little hands tightly clasped, looking up at him, only to suddenly meet a pair of dark eyes, instinctively stepping back, yet who would have thought he would stand up, and walk towards her!
What is he going to do?
Could it be he’s going to hit her?
He had just scolded her to tears, if...
If he dared to hit her, she would definitely go to Grandpa Xiao to terminate the contract.
Just feeling a pain at her lower back, as if she hit something, Song Song couldn’t react before being embraced into a mint-scented chest.
"Be careful."
The man’s voice was still deep, but not as severe as before.
In an instant, Song Song’s heartbeat suddenly skipped, not from fearful tension pounding wildly, but...
