Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Dabai is Taken Advantage of by Erxi 1
Gong Xiu closed his eyes in pain, and when he opened them again, his narrow, peach-blossom-shaped eyes were brimming with disappointment.
"You want her to treat you like her mother, but you don’t treat her as your daughter. Mom, it’s not that I’ve disappointed you, it’s you who’ve let me down, so very disappointed."
He strode out of the study, leaving Lu Qinghe standing there in astonishment.
After taking a shower, Gong Xiu warmed up a glass of milk for Ning Xixi downstairs.
He went upstairs and knocked on the door.
Ning Xixi opened the door, and he handed her the cup, "Drink some milk, it’s good for sleep."
"...Thank you." Ning Xixi took it, her hair still dripping wet, her eyes clear as washed, causing Gong Xiu a pang of discomfort.
Caught between Lu Qinghe and Ning Xixi, he wasn’t feeling great either.
"Whatever happens in the future, come to me first. I’ll protect you." His lips moved slightly as he gently uttered these words.
"..."
Seeing Ning Xixi’s wariness towards him, Gong Xiu couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.
"Go to sleep early."
After he left, Ning Xixi closed the door, locked it, and lay down on the bed, burying her sullen little face into the pillow.
"Why aren’t you drinking your milk?"
"I don’t want to..." she replied naturally, and then suddenly realized something was wrong!
This is her room, how could there be Ji Yebai’s voice?
Looking around apprehensively, her gaze landed on the windowsill.
There sat Ji Yebai, in a cool and cocky pose, having arrived at some unknown time.
"That’s really dangerous! Be careful!" Ning Xixi was a bit nervous, this was the second floor after all!
Ji Yebai snickered, jumping down with suave ease, "Underestimating your man, aren’t you?"
"No, I’m not..." She knew Ji Yebai was agile but couldn’t help worrying, "It’s the second floor, what if you bump or knock into something..."
Ji Yebai was already by her side, his dark eyes as if catching the starlight from the window, flickering, constantly changing.
"Worried about me?"
Ning Xixi’s face turned a slight red, "Mm..."
Seeing her so obedient, Ji Yebai’s lips curled up into a smile, "Come here, let me dry your hair for you."
Ning Xixi obediently lay across his lap, letting him handle the hairdryer, blowing her hair with just the right force.
"Dabai..." she started in a muffled voice, boredly poking Ji Yebai’s abs as she spoke, "Are you still mad at me and Qiaoqiao?"
Still mad? She had confessed to him in front of so many people, he was too pleased to be mad. As for that fool Qiaoqiao? Oh, he’d long since thrown that thought tens of thousands of miles away.
Catching her restless little hand, Ji Yebai’s voice was husky, "Stop touching randomly, then I’ll tell you."
Ning Xixi’s face turned scarlet "as if I’m taking advantage of you..." she muttered resentfully.
A low chuckle echoed in her ears, "Getting bolder, daring to take advantage of this young master, hmm?"
Ning Xixi sat up, wrapping her arms around his neck, her eyes bright and clear.
"So, do you like it when I take advantage of you?"
Her voice was soft and sweet, it made Ji Yebai’s bones go soft.
The moonlight, like water, spilled in, filling the room with a clear light. A cool breeze blew some Sakura petals in through the window. Ji Yebai’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he said haughtily, "Not really." As if!
"If you don’t like it, then I won’t kiss you..." Ning Xixi let go, disheartened.
"What’s that? You want to kiss this young master? I’ll have you know, you can’t go back on your word. If you’re going to kiss, just do it. This young master will just take the loss and won’t hide..."
