Hai Xiaotang smiled, âNo, but everything is fine now.â
She chose not to share what happened that night, as it was difficult to explain.
Tao Yi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasnât heartbreak, that was fine.
âIf someone bullies you, tell me. Iâll avenge you.â
Hai Xiaotang glanced at him, regretting that she didnât have such a brother.
She had always dreamed of having an older brother who wanted to protect her, someone like Tao Yi.
However, him as a brother would be the same.
âRight. If anyone dares to bully me, Iâll bring you along! Big brother Tao, you have a gun?â Hai Xiaotang remembered the scene where he arrested the suspect that day and asked curiously.
Tao Yi nodded solemnly, âOf course. Officers with my rank are armed with real guns and live ammunition. Why, you want me to scare someone?â
Dongfang Yu!
Without thinking, Hai Xiaotang thought of him, as he was always bullying her. She wished she had a gun to scare him with.
Hai Xiaotang shook her head, âWhen someone bullies me, Iâll call you, and you bring your gun.â
âNo problem!â Tao Yi agreed cheerfully, and Hai Xiaotang smiled brightly.
The two talked all the way and soon arrived at the old Hai Family house.
Tao Yi parked his car, got out, and opened the car door for Hai Xiaotang.
Hai Xiaotang jumped out of the car and looked up at him, âBig Brother Tao, thank you for dinner today. Would you like to come in for tea?â
âNo need. Itâs too late now, visiting the old man at this hour might be an inconvenience. Next time Iâm free, Iâll visit formally.â
Hai Xiaotang nodded, âThen drive safely, and be safe when youâre on a mission.â
âSure.â About to part ways, and it would be a while before he could see her again, Tao Yi suddenly felt a bit reluctant.
He looked into Hai Xiaotangâs clear and beautiful eyes and wanted to hug her.
But in the end, he only extended his hand and ruffled her hair, âIâm going now, you should go inside.â
Hai Xiaotang shook her head, âYou go first, Iâll go inside after I see you off.â
âOkay, Iâm leaving now.â
âYeah, goodbye!â Hai Xiaotang smiled and waved, watching him leave before planning to turn around and enter the house.
But when she turned around, she saw a tall figure!
âAll!â Hai Xiaotang was startled.
Dongfang Yu had apparently been there all along, standing silently behind her, his imposing presence huge!
Meeting his dark gaze, she frowned discontentedly, âWhat are you doing here?â
Dongfang Yu was stone-faced, his aura icy cold.
He had been waiting for her all this time, never having left.
He had seen everything that had transpired between her and Tao Yi!
Glancing in the direction that Tao Yi had left in, Dongfang Yuâs voice was low and unfeeling, âDo you know him?â
âWho?â Hai Xiaotang realized he was referring to Tao Yi. But she didnât intend to answer, âWho I know is none of your business!â
She was about to go in when the man grabbed her wrist and yanked her back.
âYou know Tao Yi?!â He stared at her and asked again.
With wide eyes, Hai Xiaotang was surprised, âYou know Tao Yi?!â
Her tone and expression perfectly mirrored his, but her shock was even greater.
Dongfang Yu didnât answer and coldly asked, âHow do you know him? When did you meet him? Where did you two go today and what did you do? What is your relationship with him?â
Hai Xiaotang: ââ¦â
She was dumbfounded by his rapid-fire questions.
Dongfang Yu narrowed his eyebrows and grew impatient, âHai Xiaotang, answer me!â
Hai Xiaotang raised an eyebrow, âWhich question do you want me to answer?â
âAll of them!â
