章節 33: He chewed my lips

As usual, he had the urge to embrace her when he saw her tears. Anyone very close to him would know that he had one extremely sensitive weakness, and that was Wan Jia's tears.

However, this time he wasn't going to look at them. If he turned soft on her this time then he would never know the truth.

"I am asking for the last time." He deliberately made his voice intimidating. Just the same way he could be warm when he wanted to be, he could also be extremely intimidating. When he saw that she still remained silent, he look her fair hand and teased her with a needle.

"Waaaa..." she yelled her lungs out as her eyes bawled out like broken dams. This little thing was really afraid of pain. He couldn't help but remember their first time...

Wan Jia cried so hard that her voice was stuck. In the end, she just took her phone and typed him a message.

Lu Aotian's eyes darkened when he saw the message. Just one of his suspects. He wondered just how naïve Wan Jia was to think that she and Little Jia would be safe if she cut ties with him. They would in fact be in more danger. Could this little thing not understand? Who on earth was more capable of protecting her than him?

He put his phone aside and moved stood up. He moved closer to her and took her hand.

"Don't! Please don't! That...that...that's the whole truth." she almost swore on all eight of her generations.

Lu Aotian "..."

He was only going to hug her, okay?

His heart broke. He shouldn't have frightened her like that. He took her into his arms in one fell swoop. The girl's body was shaking as she cried.

"Lu... Lu Aotian"

"Mmh? What is it."

"Do you believe me? Will you pierce my fingertips?"

He rubbed her back and kissed her forehead.

"I would never do such a thing. I was just scaring you."

"Oh."

It's not that she wasn't aware. She knew that Lu Aotian would never hurt even a single hair on her head. But just now he was scary that she thought he was really going to physically torture her.

She felt comfortable in his arms and was exhausted from all the tears. She was just about to fall asleep when she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen.

"What is it? I'll take you to hospital." Lu Aotian noticed she was in pain just a second after she felt it.

"It's nothing. It's just ...aah!"

Lu Aotian carried her off without speaking anymore and dashed out.

"Lu Aotian, it's just my period." she said embarassedly. He relaxed a little. She always took medicine when she experienced period pain and he had taken care of her in the past.

He would massage her lower abdomen, place hot packs on it and from his experience, most of the time she didn't even notice her pain anymore when he took care of her.

This wasn't something new to him. He took her to his room, naturally prepared a bath and brought clothes to change into. Then he carried her gently like she was made of glass and placed her in the tub to wash her.

Wan Jia was embarassed. It was alright if he did there things when she was his wife but now she felt it was inappropriate.

As if reading her thoughts, he teased. "Which part of your beautiful body have I not seen before?"

She blushed as she glared at him. He didn't want her to be uncomfortable so he left to get hot packs. When he came back, she had falled asleep in the tub. He carried her carefully, helped her dress up and tucked her in his bed. He kissed her forehead and left the room. He went to her room and unpacked all the things she had packed to leave.

He was letting her stay just because she had told him everything she knew this time and it had narrowed down his list of suspects. However, if she ever had plans to take away his daughter again, he would deal with her the same way he dealt with people who messed with him- the underworld way.

He entered his daughter's room and kissed her forehead softly. These two identical people were his life. He couldn't bear to lose either of them. This evening if Wanjia had really left, he knew he would find her wherever she went and carry her right back into his house.

The next morning. Little Jia woke up and carefully went to look for her father. When she saw that he was taking coffee in the living room and not looking like the scary Hades he was the night before, she excitedly kissed him on the cheek and ran to find her mother.

"Mommy! Mommy! You fixed Daddy. Little Jia is so happy!"

Eer...fixed? Did the little girl actually believe that her father literally turned into an ice statue?

"How did you fix him, Mommy? Teach Little Jia so that I can help if he ever turns into an ice statue again." She jumped up and down excitedly making her long pigtails shake wildly.

"Well..."

Honey, I didn't fix your dear daddy. I don't know if he was dreaming about food but he gnawed on my lips all night. Can't you see? I can't even put on lip gloss.
