Principal Qin, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly widened his eyes, and the kind and gentle smile on his face gradually cracked.
Ignoring Gong Ning's violent and irritable movements as she resisted and hit him, the man held the girl tightly, leaning down slightly to whisper in her ear.
Her gentle expression was a stark contrast to her usual demeanor, and her voice was warm and indulgent, "I'm sorry, it was my fault, I shouldn't have been so harsh with you!"
Everyone: "???"
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and having already apologized once, Yan Jingzhou was now quite adept at it.
Gong Ning's small hands, which had been pounding his chest, slowly stopped. Her large, grape-like eyes blinked, and suddenly, glistening tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
Her rosy lips pouted in grievance, and her soft, delicate voice carried a hint of sorrow, "Ah Zhou, that bad woman bullied me! She didn't give me food, making me go hungry. She kicked me out of the house in the dead of winter, leaving me standing in the freezing cold all night in just a thin nightgown, and she kept hitting and scolding me... Waaaaah~~ She bullied me, she bullied me, waaaah~~ And she even yelled at me~~"
Xiao Yiting's smile suddenly turned cold and indifferent as he glanced at Xiao Yisheng with a quiet look.
Xiao Yisheng, who was pretending to be dizzy with his eyelids closed, subconsciously shivered and felt a chill run down his spine.
Yan Jingzhou's heart skipped a beat, and the fingers he was pressing on Gong Ning's lower back curled up slightly.
He immediately bent down, picked up the tearful little girl, and held her by the bottom with one hand, just like he would hold a child.
With his other hand, he gently wiped away her tears, his deep, husky voice soothingly coaxing the girl, "It was my fault. I'll get revenge for you, okay? I shouldn't have yelled at you. It was my fault. Don't cry!"
Gong Ning's round, teary eyes blinked suddenly, and another large tear fell.
The delicate white hands that were wrapped around the man's neck tightened unconsciously. She sniffed, pouted, and looked at him with red eyes, "How are you going to get back at him?"
Her voice was soft and husky, with a hint of nasal tone, which softened one's heart for no reason when it entered the ear.
The man gently wiped away her tears with his fair and slender fingers. His eyes were warm, his tone gentle, and there was a hint of doting in his voice. "Jiaojiao, what do you want to do?"
The little girl's fingers, which were wrapped around the man's neck, twitched helplessly a few times, and a few blank stares flashed in her dark, bright eyes.
Beat him up?
Um....
no!
With Ah-zhou around, we can't be too violent!
After thinking for a few more seconds, her delicate brows furrowed in distress.
The next moment, like a weary bird returning to its nest, she buried her slightly flushed face in the crook of the man's neck and whimpered softly like a little quail, "I don't know either~"
The girl's sweet, warm breath softly sprayed onto his skin, causing the man's tall, upright figure to stiffen for a moment.
In the dim light of the corridor, his prominent Adam's apple exuded a touch of sexy allure.
Gong Ning rubbed her little head against it, and the raised curve of her head unconsciously slid slightly.
The fingers wiping the little girl's tears paused unconsciously. He coughed lightly and realized his throat was a little dry.
The man spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "Then leave it to me? Shall we go home first?"
The little girl obediently replied, "Okay!"
Yan Jingzhou looked up and met Xiao Yiting's eyes, which held a cool smile in the distance.
With his thin lips pressed tightly together, he said, "Whether your sister's actions of insulting my fiancée were inappropriate is something that Governor Xiao must have considered carefully. I await your explanation!"
He then turned and nodded slightly to the old principal and his group, who had already regained their senses, before carrying Gong Ning away.
From afar, Gong Ning's soft voice could still be heard:
