Capítulo 237: Achilles heel

Muyang indulgently shook his head and tightened his hold on her. His little minx certainly knew how to assuage him expertly. She had mollified his anger within a few seconds, how could he fail to make such a promise. All he had been trying to do was scare her, perhaps he had gone too far.

"I am sorry; I won't ever do any those things again." He said softly. He gently caressed her hair as he made that promise. "But it doesn't mean that I won't punish you if this ever happens again. You are only escaping today because of those tears."

Chi Lian smiled slyly, she would simply cry again next time to avoid the punishment. Now that she knew it was his Achilles heel, she would exploit it to get herself out of trouble whenever possible.

"I am really sorry too; I will be more forth coming from now on." She really meant these words; she was going to be as honest with him about the threats to their family as much as she could.
