Cheng Ying gently pinched Liang Wushuang's cheeks, forcing her to look up at the stairs.

Liang Wushuang felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave when she met Lu Jin's forbearing gaze. She didn't even care about the shame and embarrassment in her heart. All that echoed in her mind were Cheng Ying's words in the study that day.

-You are a resident of my house, and these eyes will not tolerate anyone else!

-If there is a next time, even if you don’t like human skin lanterns, I will peel off the person’s skin, make it into a lantern, and hang it in front of your door to accompany you forever!

Liang Wushuang became more and more uneasy when she thought of these words. At this moment, it was impossible for her not to notice Cheng Ying's displeasure.

"I remember everything the Governor said." Liang Wushuang had an unconcealable guilty conscience and panic on her face. She really didn't have the courage to lie in front of this man. His deep and unfathomable eyes seemed to be able to look directly into people's hearts. Even the despicable thoughts hidden deep in their hearts could be easily seen through.

Even though Cheng Ying hadn't frowned at all until this moment, and there was still a slight smile on his handsome face, and his tone was extremely warm, Liang Wushuang was really scared.

She shed tears of fear uncontrollably, and her gentle and pretty face looked extremely embarrassed.

"If this is just a coincidence, would you believe it, Governor?" Liang Wushuang had tears in his eyes. He looked at Cheng Ying pitifully, his body already trembling slightly.

The smile on Cheng Ying's face deepened. He wiped away the tears on Liang Wushuang's cheek with his fingertips. The movement was not gentle, and his fingertips left a red mark on Liang Wushuang's cheek due to the friction.

Seeing the red marks, Cheng Ying was a little annoyed and sighed, "Didn't I say that it would be heartbreaking to see a beautiful face crying? Girls should look better when they smile." He pinched Liang Wushuang's jaw, exerting a little force, and his voice became a little heavy, "Especially a face like yours, which should be as smiling as a flower, innocent and carefree."

Liang Wushuang tried hard to hold back her tears. Her eyes were red but she dared not shed another tear. She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped away her tears herself. She pursed her lips slightly, recalling the innocent and bright smile of the woman in the scroll in the study. Liang Wushuang tried to curl her eyebrows and smile a crescent-shaped smile like the woman in the scroll.

When Cheng Ying saw this smile, she felt a little better.

Lu Jin could hardly contain himself when watching this scene. How could the girl he loved be humiliated like this?

Yu Qizhe held his arm with great force, both to prevent Lu Jin from getting impulsive and to hint to Lu Jin to stay calm.

Lu Jin endured it so hard that veins popped up on his forehead. Fang Chengying raised her head and their eyes met.

Cheng Ying just gave him a cold glance, without any emotion in it.

However, Lu Jin felt inexplicably aggrieved and resentful. He knew, of course, that because of the disparity in their status, the other party did not need to look at him directly, let alone take an insignificant person like him seriously.

I don't even think he's a threat.

Cheng Ying's gaze stayed on Yu Jiao's face for a moment. The little girl was looking at Liang Wushuang beside him with her round eyes, her gaze was clear and bright.

He had never seen Yu Jiao grow up. This was the first time he saw her grown up. There was still childishness between her eyebrows and eyes, and some traces of her childhood could be found.

In fact, the little girl has changed a lot. The clumsiness and timidity in her childhood seem to have faded away a lot.

A playful smile appeared at the corner of Cheng Ying's lips. He remembered that the little girl used to be very afraid of him. But now when she saw him, she didn't shrink away, but dared to look directly at Liang Wushuang beside her. Could it be that she had forgotten him?

Yu Qizhe noticed Cheng Ying's arrival and unnoticeably blocked Yu Jiao behind him with his body.

Cheng Ying noticed his action of protecting Yu Jiao behind him, and the corners of her eyes slightly raised, and the smile in her gorgeous phoenix eyes became even more intense.

After all, she was taught by him personally. At this time, she could still be neither humble nor arrogant in front of him, not afraid of him, and be tolerant and peaceful. This kind of mentality made Cheng Ying very satisfied.

Yang Jiyan, who was hiding behind the maid, saw the two people's eye contact and her heart began to beat fast. She didn't know why she was so excited.

Although the status of these two people is very different at the moment, Yang Jiyan knows that in the near future, Yu Qizhe will also be extremely powerful, and he will be the sharpest knife under Cheng Ying in the future. These two people can easily stir up the ups and downs of Taiyan's court with their hands.

Cheng Ying raised his hand slightly, and the head of the East Factory behind him, who knew the governor's love of cleanliness, hurriedly handed him a clean white handkerchief.

Cheng Ying wiped her fingers slowly with a handkerchief and said to Liang Wushuang slowly, "Since you said so, I naturally believe it."

Liang Wushuang's body, which was weakened by fear, relaxed. She took the initiative to lean into Cheng Ying's arms, and the smile on her face became more innocent and bright. "It's good that the governor trusts me. I only have the governor in my heart and will never betray him."

Cheng Ying threw the handkerchief he had used to wipe his hands to the servant, and did not embrace Liang Wushuang. He knew very well that he was only looking for the shadow of his junior sister in Liang Wushuang. Even if it was just a shadow, he could not tolerate it because this shadow was not loyal to him.

As a junior sister, he shouldn't do anything inappropriate, otherwise he wouldn't mind letting this shadow lose its mind. Anyway, as long as he can have the appearance of a junior sister, it is enough to comfort him.
