Chapter 16: What Her First Time Felt Like

It started to quiet down in the car. She wasn't sure how long it was before Qiao Sinian spoke again.

"I'm here, I won't let anyone bully you."

It felt as though Ye Jiaqi's heart had been stabbed fiercely by a knife. Her mind went blank all of a sudden.

She dug her nails into her hands to check whether she was dreaming at this moment.

At the age of eight, she was chased out of the house by her stepmother. She was so hungry that she cried on the streets. At that time, Qiao Sinian had tricked her with a lollipop to stop her crying.

Later, he took her home. He didn't say much but said a sentence that she would remember for a lifetime, "If I'm here, I won't let anyone bully you."

At that time for her, that man was the sun. He warmed her heart.

She was moved to tears and turned to throw herself into his arms.

He had pushed her away in disgust, but his face remained gentle.
