He calmed himself down and scooped another spoonful to feed her. Feeling the unblinking gaze, Su Zicang felt even more sad inside.
After finishing eating, Xunmi's eyes never left Su Zicang, and her original cautiousness turned into a small unknown expectation.
Su Zicang couldn't help but reach out and rub her head, then hugged her in his arms.
"Baby, can you tell me what happened last night?" Just as he finished speaking, he felt the little body in his arms trembling violently.
The fear that was revealed without reservation made him feel suffocated, and he quickly comforted her.
"Baby, be good, it's okay, I'm here, your husband is here, no one can hurt you, don't be afraid, tell your husband, he will beat the bad guys away."
He didn't want to ask, but he had to.
There was no surveillance in the villa, and it had almost become an abandoned place since he left.
He knew that it was because of him that she was in such danger. Besides blaming himself and feeling fear, he also felt guilty.
But he just couldn't let go of this matter. Although he had decided to take her with him wherever he went in the future, he was still worried about what might happen.
It is better to solve the problem fundamentally and feel more at ease.
Xunmi seemed to be lost in the memories of last night again. The images in her mind began to emerge again and again. The fear deep in her heart made her face pale.
"No...don't...go away, go away...don't..."
The obscene gaze was something she could see as soon as she closed her eyes, and she couldn't get rid of it no matter what she did. She didn't want it.
Tears rushed out of her eyes and wet the man's clothes.
Su Zicang carefully comforted the frightened baby in his arms, gently stroking her back, trying to calm her down.
"Baby, those things are in the past. They can't bully you anymore. I will always be with you from now on. Don't be afraid."
"If you're scared, just call your husband's name and he'll come whenever you call, just like Ultraman. Help my little baby fight off all the monsters."
The low and soft voice, with unspeakable lingering affection, was obviously very childish words, but it surprisingly made people feel at ease.
Xunmi found herself in such comfort, slowly relaxed her emotions, slowly raised her head, and her red and swollen peach blossom eyes looked like a wronged little rabbit, cute and pitiful.
"Baby, look, your husband is here. Don't be afraid. Come on, tell me boldly what happened before your husband arrived."
Su Zicang held the hand that was tugging at his clothes and squeezed it, trying to use physical contact to ease her inner tension.
Perhaps it was because his eyes made her feel too safe and warm that Xunmi was bewitched and began to recall last night's events in a low voice.
"Mom...ah, I'm sorry, Brother Su, I...called you the wrong name, it's Aunt Su."
Xunmi was startled when he heard the habitual name, and his face turned even paler.
She quickly admitted her mistake. She had forgotten that Brother Su had said that she was not allowed to say those two words in front of him. "I really didn't mean it, Brother Su, please don't be angry with me."
Xunmi, who was extremely uneasy, didn't care about their current posture. She squeezed into Su Zicang's arms and tried to grab his clothes.
If you do this, you won’t be abandoned, nor will you be hated by the people around you.
Su Zicang's eyes felt sore and he felt even more anxious. He really didn't think he would hurt her to this extent.
He actually felt like he was surrounded by enemies. He was such a jerk.
"Be good, don't cry. How could your husband be angry with you? He can't wait to pamper you."
"Baby, have you forgotten? We are already husband and wife. My mother is naturally your mother too. You can call me whatever you want."
"And me too. You have to call me husband, otherwise he will be angry."
He knew that it was impossible to make her not be afraid of him in the short term. The memories of the past were too deep.
But he will try his best to keep this baby, whom he has neglected, by his side.
The girl I thought was spoiled before, now seems so cute, well-behaved and sensible.
Such an obedient baby should be pampered, not only that, he also wants to spoil her.
But at the moment, it seems like there’s still a long way to go.
Xunmi opened her eyes wide, with a few water droplets hanging on her long eyelashes, shaking as her eyelashes trembled, as beautiful as crystal.
Add to that a delicate face, looking at you timidly, and even a heart of stone will be melted at this moment.
"Can I...really?" The voice was so small that it was full of uncertainty.
Su Zicang nodded with a smile: "Okay, come on, call me husband."
"...Husband." After a long silence, she called out shyly, as softly as a mosquito. If Su Zicang hadn't been so close, he probably wouldn't have heard it.
I'm barely satisfied. My baby has made great progress to this point. He has time to take it slowly.
"Then baby, can you tell me what happened last night now? And forget it after you're done. We don't want those unpleasant memories. When the time comes, your husband will help you fill it with more, better, and more beautiful memories."
He would also work with her to personally paint a unique picture, engrave it into her little head, and let her remember it for a lifetime.
Xunmi nodded obediently after being comforted. "My mother was worried about me, so she arranged for someone to come and cook for me every day."
"Last night, I went back to my room after dinner as usual, but after a while, I felt something was wrong with my body."
"Later...Later...three people appeared, they...they..."
Having said that, she bit her red lips tightly, and her face, which had finally relaxed, began to show fear and tension again, but it was slightly better than before.
"During that time, they said that woman told them that no one would come to save me. I was very desperate, thinking... thinking that if it really... really came to that, I would..."
She didn't say the rest of the words, but Su Zicang understood that if she couldn't resist, she would commit suicide.
He did not forget the scene last night. She was holding a sharp piece of porcelain in her hand. It might not hurt anyone, but it would be easy to cut the carotid artery or blood vessels.
The arms around her tightened, she was afraid, and so was he.
"It's all my fault. My husband will reflect on himself. Baby, please supervise me, okay?"
"If my husband does something wrong in the future, you can hit me. I promise to be obedient and let you hit me and scold me."
Su Zicang secretly remembered his baby's words and went to see the results of the interrogation later.
When he went upstairs earlier, he vaguely heard those people talking about a woman. His intuition told him that this matter was not simple and it was very likely directed at him.
A sneer appeared at the corner of his lips. No matter what the purpose was, no matter who the other party was, the last thing he should do was to hurt his baby.
However, he wanted to thank the other party for helping him realize his own heart in time and preventing him from regretting it for the rest of his life.
Looking at the baby in my arms who was still staring at me blankly, as if he was frightened by what I just said and couldn't come back to his senses, my heart was instantly filled with joy.
