When she opened her eyes again, all that remained in her eyes was helplessness and an overwhelming heartache.
Without further hesitation, he used his arm to pull that strong little body tightly into his embrace, with a mixture of strength and tenderness.
One arm tightly encircled her slender waist, completely imprisoning her against his chest.
With his other hand, he gently patted her thin, trembling back through her soft, smooth, long black hair, conveying a sense of comfort.
"Okay, okay... don't cry anymore, okay?"
His chin rested on the top of her head, his voice gentle: "It's my fault, I'm such a jerk, I shouldn't have yelled at you, I shouldn't have scared you..."
He held the girl tightly in his arms, and the fear and grievances he had been suppressing seemed to find an outlet.
The silent tears turned into suppressed sobs, her little face buried in his firm chest, and her tears quickly soaked his expensive shirt.
"Ugh... I was right all along."
She sobbed as she complained in a soft, nasal voice, her small hands finally ceasing to clutch her skirt and instead wrapping around his lean waist.
"You've had so many women before..."
"But when I was with you, I never held hands with any other man."
"My first kiss was with you, and my body belongs only to you..."
She spoke haltingly about her grievances and the unfairness she had suffered, and every word struck Gu Chengyu's heart.
"I know, I know..."
Gu Chengyu felt extremely distressed, tightening his arms around her slender waist and patting her back with even gentler touches, constantly coaxing her:
"It's my fault, I'm such a jerk, it's all my fault, baby, don't cry, okay?"
The girl's muffled voice continued to come from his chest: "If you can't argue with me, you won't say anything, and you just scare me with that cold face."
"I...I'm really scared...Waaaaah..."
These words made Gu Chengyu feel both bitter and swollen.
He really wanted to slap himself for being so jealous and cold towards her just a few minutes ago.
How could he scare her like that?
"I'm not afraid anymore, I'm not afraid anymore..."
He lowered his head, his thin lips pressed against the top of her head, which exuded a sweet fragrance. His voice was filled with boundless heartache and regret as he repeatedly promised her:
"It's that young master Gu who's a scoundrel!"
"I'll never do it again! I'll never yell at you again, and I'll never scare you again..."
"Trust me, okay?"
He felt the little body in his arms sobbing, and his heart ached terribly. He could only hold her tighter, coaxing her softly over and over again, patting her back with the gentlest touch.
This is his little girl, so pure and well-behaved. Even when she occasionally throws a little tantrum, she's just like a fluffy little kitten—absolutely gorgeous. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
