Fu Linxiao gently patted Jiang Luoning's back, and then felt a warmth on his shoulder. He hurriedly pulled the little girl up from his arms. Seeing the little girl trying not to cry out loud, he felt distressed and flustered. His broad palm gently wiped the tears from her face and hurriedly comforted her, "Ning'er, be good, Ning'er, don't cry. Brother Linxiao was wrong. Brother shouldn't have let Ning'er be alone in the swimming pool. It's all your fault. Ning'er, hit brother, scold brother, Ning'er, you just woke up and your body is still weak. Ning'er, be obedient and don't cry, okay?"
Jiang Luoning listened to the repeated words of comfort, feeling guilty. When had this man ever behaved like this in public? Who in the capital didn't address him respectfully as Third Master Fu? In the eyes of the world, he was decisive, arrogant, and resolute. But who could have imagined that he would give all his tenderness and love to her? Unable to control her emotions any longer, she burst into tears and said, "Ning'er didn't fall into the water accidentally. Ning'er was knocked unconscious and thrown in!"
Fu Linxiao froze when he heard Jiang Luoning's words. The hand holding her shoulder tightened involuntarily. Thrown down? The little girl was thrown down!
The temperature in the room dropped a few degrees as his palm exerted force. Jiang Luoning finally realized what he had just said. He calmed himself down and spoke slowly, "Someone sent me a video of you and another woman the other day. I took the video to look for you. When I walked to the rockery by the swimming pool, I vaguely heard your voice and that of a woman. I was about to walk over when I was knocked unconscious, and then..."
"No!" Before Jiang Luoning could finish his words, Fu Linxiao's panicked voice rang out, "There's no woman, and I haven't been to the rockery! It's not my Ning'er."
Jiang Luoning looked at the man in front of him who had been as cold as ice just now but now looked flustered. He wiped his tears and laughed out loud. Then he grabbed Fu Linxiao's hand and said, "I know it's not you. I originally wanted to find you and ask you to accompany me to find out who this person is, but this happened before I found you."
After hearing what Jiang Luoning said, Fu Linxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, remembering the little girl's story about being knocked unconscious and thrown into the water, his expression instantly darkened. Jiang Luoning, knowing exactly what he was thinking, said, "Please don't worry about this for now, okay? I want to handle this myself." His eyes darkened, revealing a chill that Fu Linxiao had never felt before from the little girl.
Fu Linxiao noticed the little girl's mood changes and knew that she had her own plans, but he always felt that something was wrong. The little girl was hiding something from him, but he still compromised and said: "Ning'er, then you promise me that you will tell me no matter what happens, okay? You still have me and my brothers." Since the little girl didn't want to say it, he would protect her from behind. Even if the little girl wanted to blow the imperial capital upside down, he would be there to support her.
When Jiang Luoning heard his agreement, he blinked his innocent eyes and nodded. Then he pointed to the bowl of pumpkin porridge on the table and said as if giving an order, "I'm hungry!"
Fu Linxiao picked up the porridge and fed it to the little girl on the bed spoon by spoon. The family members all understood each other and did not mention this topic again.
