“Since I’ve knelt down, I suggest you withdraw your weapon. They’re all blind, right?”
Jiang Cheng’s voice softened a lot, but he didn’t take back the protection lines yet because he was afraid that Bai Jiaojiao might kick him, then he’d be in trouble.
Bai Jiaojiao snorted arrogantly, but she also put away her magic weapon and restrained her strength.
Jiang Cheng let out a sigh of relief and patted on chest to take back the protection lines.
This little girl was really something, picking up a fight without any informing.
When he was about to get up, Bai Jiaojiao pointed at him and said, “Who allowed you to stand up?”
“What? You want me to kneel down here for the whole night?”
Jiang Cheng retorted.
“Apologize to Bai Hezhi, then I’ll let you get up.”
Bai Jiaojiao pointed at Bai Hezhi behind her and said.
Jiang Cheng frowned and looked at Bai Hezhi in front of him, feeling unwilling to, but still convinced himself to do as she said.
“Alright, alright, I apologize, alright? If you dare not let me get up, I will be hard on you.”
“If you apologize. Nobody would make you kneel.”
Bai Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at Jiang Cheng, but she was not angry anymore, just a proud little girl with childish voice.
“Yes, yes, you won. You are the boss, you make the call.”
Jiang Cheng didn’t want to bother with a child so much. So he looked straight at Bai Hezhi and apologized, “I was wrong just now. I shouldn’t have picked up your collar. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me!”
He didn’t apologize seriouly but in a casual way, and he even added, “But next time if you dare slap on my face…”
He added so to show his own attitude that he was not a coward and he’d fight back.
But even Jiang Cheng didn’t apologize properly, Bai Hezhi was still surprised.
Who could have imagined that the person who just sworn not to admit his fault would apologize to himself?
Bai Hezhi turned his eyes to Bai Jiaojiao with a complicated expression on his face.
He didn’t expect that Bai Jiaojiao would avenge him, so he was deeply touch and was about to cry.
Bai Jiaojiao was aware that Bai Hezhi didn’t like her, so in order to please him, she had always been a good girl in front of him.
Bai Jiaojiao was smarter than others since she was born, and she found out by herself that her real mother wasn’t Madam Bai but Bai Hezhi.
She even secretly used her own superpower to explore the past of Bai Hezhi when he was being raped. Even though she didn’t know much about it, she understood why Bai Hezhi didn’t like her and kept staying by his side.
Bai Hezhi ignored Jiang Cheng’s apology and took the initiative to go to Bai Jiaojiao for the first time, lowered his body and carried her into his arms.
“I’m sorry. And… thank you.”
There were too much pain in his heart that he couldn’t speak out. He had been hiding it for too long. Now he finally got the chance to let it out, tears filled his eyes.
Bai Jiao slowly smiled. Although she was young, she knew that Bai Hezhi cried because he was touched.
“I will protect you, so don’t be afraid. I won’t let anyone bully you.”
Bai Jiaojiao gently patted the head Bai Hezhi and comforted him.
Hearing what Bai Jiaojiao said, Bai Hezhi felt even more guilty. He didn’t have taken any responsibility as a mother.
He always hated Jiang Cheng, but not anymore, because the appearance of this man brought him to a different Bai Jiaojiao. He decided that he would never neglect his daughter again.
