Yu Jiao was aware of what he was thinking and she opened her eyes subconsciously. She naturally never believed in someone as dangerous as Cheng Ying.
Even if Cheng Ying did not use her as a shield for Liang Wushuang, and had no other purpose or calculation in adopting her as his adopted daughter, Yu Jiao still didn't think she could become close to Cheng Ying and really respect him like her adopted father.
"You never believe that I will treat you well?" The smile on Cheng Ying's lips faded, and his eyes darkened slightly. Although he was a little cruel, he always followed the price. Although he was the one who killed Princess Huaiyang, as the price of the transaction, he preserved Princess Huaiyang's bloodline.
The only thing was that after they met again in the capital, he adopted Liu Yujiao as his adopted daughter, and he really had no ulterior motive.
His question was intimidating, and Yu Jiao's heart tightened, thinking of the consequences of angering Cheng Ying outside the palace gate last time. If Gu Yun had not killed the frightened horse with a palm, she would probably have been knocked away and trampled under the horse's hooves, seriously injured.
Yu Jiao took a deep breath, met Cheng Ying's gloomy gaze, and said with a stiff upper lip: "The governor is in a high position and has great power. I am just an ordinary person. Even if the governor really treats me well, I dare not accept it."
Yu Jiao knew that saying such things would definitely make Cheng Ying angry, but she didn't ask for anything from Cheng Ying and just wanted to stay as far away from him as possible.
Hearing this, Cheng Ying smiled coldly, and the wide sleeves embroidered with gold patterns moved slightly. Yu Jiao felt a sharp palm wind coming towards her face, carrying with it a cold murderous intent. Yu Jiao didn't even have time to react, and just subconsciously closed her eyes. At this moment, many thoughts flashed through her mind. She shouldn't have been in a hurry to cut off the relationship. She should deal with Cheng Ying first, and then deal with him slowly later. She should just stay away from him. Knowing that Cheng Ying's temper was changeable, why did she still want to anger and offend him?
The fierce palm wind stopped abruptly when it landed on Yu Jiao's face. Yu Jiao felt relieved and opened her eyes to meet Cheng Ying's narrow and long phoenix eyes. Her pupils were dark and bottomless, like a deep abyss. Looking straight into them seemed to devour one's mind and make one breathless.
Yu Jiao tried to make amends subconsciously, her lips trembling when she spoke again: "If someone treats me well, I will always remember it. I am afraid I can't repay all the favors I owe. A favor is the hardest to repay. A man like the governor has everything he needs. I can't accept it for nothing."
Cheng Ying glanced at the beautiful face in front of him, the young round almond eyes, the trembling eyelashes, and his eyes became very heavy in an instant. He had a trance-like illusion that the whole flower hall seemed to have instantly changed into a bamboo house in the mountains. When the teacher passed away, a distant relative had appeared at the funeral. That family treated the junior sister very well and wanted to take her to live in their home and take care of her studies, but the junior sister refused and whispered to him some familiar words.
Maybe because her parents died when she was young, no matter how well her teachers treated her, she always lacked more love than others. She was also very afraid of others being nice to her and could never feel at ease with it.
It is difficult for an old man to be considerate and attentive to a girl when she is raised. The two of them always stay in the mountains, living alone, so the younger sister has almost no good friends around her.
When the teacher and he noticed something unusual later, they discovered that the junior sister had a mild avoidant attachment personality. She was afraid of establishing close relationships, was overly independent, and found it difficult to rely on others.
I only trust him and the teacher.
Cheng Ying placed his fingertips on Yu Jiao's round eyes in a trance. His previous annoyance suddenly disappeared. He suddenly realized very clearly that he was willing to be nice to the little girl and tease her without any purpose, simply because he saw the shadow of his junior sister in her.
Liang Wushuang only has a face that looks 30% similar to Liu Yuning, but her personality is very much like her junior sister. She always pretends to be calm and composed, but is actually sensitive and awkward. She hides her true self in a hard shell. The shell looks hard, but she is weak inside.
