"Is that so?"
Xie Jinbai lifted her chin, a faint, teasing smile on his lips as he looked down at her. "Don't deny it, Yaoyao. You just think I overdid it, not that you don't want me at all."
"..." Cui Lingyao was speechless. Her eyelashes trembled as she stammered, "Don't say another word."
She wasn't as thick-skinned as he was and had no desire to discuss this topic with him.
The woman in his arms had flushed cheeks, and her long, thick eyelashes fluttered like a butterfly's wings. Her eyelids were slightly red and swollen.
He had been too rough with her this afternoon, and it seemed she had cried for a while when she was cursing him.
'She's not a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl anymore. How can she still be so delicate…?'
Xie Jinbai's heart softened. He felt that no amount of kindness toward her would ever be too much.
He lowered his head to kiss her eyes, coaxing her softly, "I won't bully you like this in the future."
