Ji Yebai was taken aback for a moment.
Such a weak, humble Ning Xixi, he had never seen her like this before.
His heart ached as if pricked by needles, and a sharp, tingling pain seeped through all his limbs.
Without any hesitation, he tightly embraced Ning Xixi into his arms, securing his hold, protecting this girl firmly in his embrace.
Ning Xixi's forehead rested against his broad chest, feeling the warm touch of his body, murmuring dreamily, "I've been good, I haven't cried, daddy, don't scold me anymore... Mom, won't you come back? Or take me away with you..."
Ji Yebai's eyes flickered with shock.
Did Ning Xixi want to die?
The arms holding her involuntarily tightened even more.
"Ning Xixi, snap out of it! What's with the melodrama, casually talking about death, don't dismiss yourself like that!" Ji Yebai growled in her ear, "Even if you really wanted to die, I wouldn't allow it!"
