Xu Rubao glanced at Lu Jingheng, whose face was pale, much paler than when he was upstairs.
Lu Jingheng carefully observed her face. It was obvious that she had been hit. Although the mark was faint, you could still see a handprint if you looked closely.
The thought of her being beaten made Lu Jingheng feel inexplicably bad.
"Speak up, are you mute?"
Xu Rubao noticed his unpleasant expression, but the reason he looked so fierce was because of the injury on her face.
So, is he actually concerned about himself?
She was startled by her own thoughts; the concern from the devil felt very strange.
She quickly shook her head and took a step back. She needed to keep a safe distance from him in order to speak normally and not be affected by him.
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Her words made Lu Jingheng's face even uglier. What did she mean by "it's okay" and "it doesn't hurt anymore"? Did she think anyone could hit her?
Xu Rubao suddenly felt a sense of unease. "Mr. Lu, I'm fine, really, you don't need to worry."
Who hit him?
Lu Jingheng asked again. He always protected his own, and this little wildcat was now his person.
Xu Rubao hesitated for a moment, looking at his expression as if she wouldn't get away with it if she didn't speak up today.
"It was Grandma who called me. Anyway, I'm fine, you don't need to worry about it."
Why did she hit you?
"..."
Xu Rubao didn't speak, but lowered her head, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.
Since that night, she has been deliberately trying to forget it.
She didn't want to recall it; every time she did, it felt like a nightmare.
Especially when Grandma brought the doctor to examine her, just thinking about it made me feel cold.
Lu Jingheng looked at her pale face, as if she were very scared, and asked, "Why won't you say anything?"
"Could you please stop asking?"
Xu Rubao raised her head and looked at him with almost pleading eyes.
She didn't want to talk about it. She couldn't very well tell him that her grandfather had slapped her when her grandmother brought people to examine her body, so she wanted to vent her anger.
Lu Jingheng thought that she had been adopted by the Xu family, and that her life there probably wasn't easy.
"From now on, if anyone dares to lay a finger on you, you'd better chop off their hand. Don't just sit there and suffer. If anything happens, I'm here for you, you hear me?"
He practically shouted the last sentence, as if afraid she hadn't heard it.
After finishing his lecture, Lu Jingheng walked to the dining table. He needed to discipline this little wildcat and let her know that not everyone could bully her.
Xu Rubao was stunned, and she remained in a daze for a long time.
When she came to her senses, she saw that the man was already sitting at the dining table, elegantly having breakfast.
He just said that if anything happens, he'll be there for you.
What did he mean by that? Does it mean he will protect her?
In her entire life, besides her grandfather, he was the first person to say he would protect her.
Regardless of whether his words were true or false, Xu Rubao felt a surge of emotion at that moment.
Just as she was feeling a little touched, the doorbell rang, and she quickly ran to open the door.
When I opened the door, I saw a beautiful woman standing there holding a bag.
She had long, wavy brown hair, delicate features, and a purple, fitted fishtail dress that accentuated her sexy and alluring figure.
Xia Zimo was stunned to see that a woman came out to open the door. When did Lu Jingheng have a woman with him?
