To end the irritating crying, he took a swift step forward, bent down to grab her fair wrist, forcing her to stand, one hand gripping her chin, forcing her teary eyes to look directly at him. Seeing Ye Lixie’s angry face, Lin Weiwan almost thought this man couldn’t tolerate her crying and was about to hit her to force her to stop, but unexpectedly, his raised hand was actually wiping away her tears when it touched her!
She, afraid of being beaten, unexpectedly felt his warm fingertips sliding across her face.
She timidly raised her eyes, seeing the deep, suppressed gentleness in his dark pupils.
He looked at her, stiffly pulling at the corner of his mouth, softly saying: “Tell me what’s dissatisfying in your heart!”
Ah?
Facing his unexpected reaction, Lin Weiwan momentarily forgot to cry, staring blankly at him.
“What’s wrong? Not crying anymore? Or have you cried enough?” Seeing her so petite, barely reaching his shoulder, he wondered what it would feel like to embrace such a small frame?
“I… I thought you were going to hit me…”
The heavy nasal tone and intermittent sobbing made Ye Lixie feel somewhat at a loss. Actually, he had no idea how to comfort someone.
“Why?” His handsome, thick eyebrows raised askew, his expression asking: Do I really look that fierce?
Perhaps he should reflect on himself, Ye Lixie thought internally.
Seeing her finally willing to speak, he folded his hands across his chest, temporarily preparing to play the role of a mischievous devil. If he didn’t force her, she wouldn’t say anything, and might even run down the mountain. Could he let that happen?
Of course not.
“I’m poor, I have no money, so I signed up to be your maid, but does being a maid mean I’m not human? I was also born to parents! Why would you insult me like that? What did I do wrong?”
Seeing her crying with tears flying wildly, each word was a complaint about the injustice she had just suffered. She was clearly very angry, wasn’t she? Why did she hold back earlier?
He had never seen her as just a maid… No! Not just her, even Uncle Yan, he had never looked down on them.
