"I have already sought justice for my mother's death. Now, my long-cherished wish has finally come to an end."
"Too many people are involved in this matter."
"I feel the same way as you. Right now, I don't want to care about anyone else. I just want to be with you."
"but……"
At this point, Mu Xiaocheng suddenly stopped, her eyes narrowing as she looked at him dangerously.
Ji Huaishen's heart tightened, and he immediately became nervous.
His eyes flickered, no longer as calm and composed as before, and he suddenly tightened his grip on her hand.
"Ouch~" Mu Xiaocheng cried out softly in pain, looking at him reproachfully: "You pinched me too hard."
She looked aggrieved, her eyes full of accusation.
Hearing her words, Ji Huaishen did not let go of her hand, keeping it in place, and looked at her seriously: "But what?"
His voice was hoarse, as if he was suppressing something, which was somewhat frightening.
It's not hard to tell that he seems angry.
Mu Xiaocheng pouted. Why did she suddenly get angry? She hadn't finished speaking yet.
Why are you being so mean to her all of a sudden? Humph!
Mu Xiaocheng's eyes darted around, and she deliberately hesitated before saying, "But, if Daddy Mu wants revenge on you..."
At this point, Mu Xiaocheng deliberately dragged out the last syllable, as if she was deliberately keeping him hanging.
Ji Huai's deep eyes darkened, and his expression gradually turned ugly.
Sure enough, what she cared about most was her family.
“If Mu’s father wants revenge on you, be careful not to hurt him. After all, our family has suffered a lot and we’ve only just made it to this day.”
Although Mu Xiaocheng said this jokingly.
But Ji Huaishen felt uneasy hearing this.
It felt like something was gripping it, and it hurt terribly.
The scenes of her previous illness kept replaying in his mind, always trapping him in the darkness of his heart, constantly tormenting his body and mind, until he was unrecognizable, causing permanent psychological trauma.
He didn't want to see her like that again.
Fortunately, the little bit of healing he gave her was just right, rescuing her from the shackles of darkness.
Ji Huaishen suddenly hugged the little girl in front of him, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said as if coaxing a child, "Don't worry, no one will get hurt."
So don't be afraid.
He knew she wasn't heartless. Although she had made her stance clear to him, Mu Heng was her father, and she wouldn't stand idly by.
He understands her, and he cherishes her just the way she is.
In truth, if it weren't for her kindness that saved him back then, he wouldn't be alive today and wouldn't be the Ji Huaishen he is now.
So, even now, he has been carefully protecting that ray of sunshine in her heart.
"Ji Huaishen, were you scared just now?"
Mu Xiaocheng suddenly lifted her head from his arms and said jokingly.
Ji Huaishen's dark eyes met her watery eyes, and he slightly curved his lips into a smile.
He said casually, "Guess."
After saying that, he released her, walked straight to the door, and opened it.
Mu Xiaocheng stood there and huffed in dissatisfaction.
Why are you suddenly acting all aloof again?
Are all boys in relationships this fickle these days?
Men are just so fickle.
Mu Xiaocheng smacked her lips, her eyes filled with a smile.
Although he didn't say it, his hand trembled slightly when he held hers just now.
She noticed it.
