She decided to ask anyway.

Xiao Mingyan's eyes widened for a moment.

His movements while holding her were also slightly stiff.

"You are my mistress, so it's only right that you treat me however you want."

"But I bullied you so much before, aren't you angry?"

Xiao Mingyan paused in his embrace, his eyes darkening slightly. "Don't be angry," he said, his tail swaying gently.

Then I put her on a chair and prepared to go to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients.

“No,” Ling Yunxi said, turning to look at his back after getting off the train.

"Xiao Mingyan, no one is a reason to bully you, not even me."

Xiao Mingyan paused in his steps as he walked toward the kitchen.

Her words instantly brought back memories of his childhood when he was a wanderer.

He has been alone since he can remember.

He was out looking for food on his own.

The little boy finally managed to hunt a fancy rat, only to have it stolen by a stronger orc.

He refused to give it to them, so they beat him.

Not only did they steal it, but they also continued to beat him.

They only left when he begged for mercy repeatedly and they got tired of bullying him.

The trauma of his childhood fueled his desire to constantly become stronger.

He knew that only by becoming strong could he avoid being bullied.

Thinking about this...

Xiao Mingyan's gaze darkened slightly.

Now, some people tell him that no one can bully him.

These words, like a powerful authority, made him feel that someone could be his support.

Although the person who said those words needs his protection.

Xiao Mingyan swayed his tail slightly, chuckled silently, and continued walking towards the kitchen.
