Sima You Yue knew that An Lei was relatively more wary against the eastern Lai Clan. This was something that had been ingrained into her bones since she was a child, and not something that would be changed just by following her for a few years.
"Relax." She patted An Lei's hand and suddenly understood why Aunty Feng and the others would pat her hands. "Relax, nobody will be able to bully you here."
"Mm." An Lei said this, but she was still heavily guarded.
"Don't be afraid, my father and I are here!" Sima You Yue smiled towards her.
An Lei's eyes immediately turned red. In the past, when she had been bullied, how much did she wish that someone would tell her: Don't worry, I'm here.
Her life back then had been torturous, but nobody had ever said this to her. She didn't think that, returning back here, she would be able to hear these very words.
"Young Miss…" She held onto Sima You Yue's hands and choked up. She couldn't say anything else.
