Si Hongqi didn't know how to react upon hearing her words at that moment. She was engrossing but at the same time… adorable, especially with how she looked at him with her tearful gaze. Her cheeks were flushed because of her cries earlier. She was like a small hamster that triggered his… sadistic side.

Upon realizing the thoughts that entered his mind, he quickly brushed them off. Why was he even thinking that way towards her?

Tian Ruyi whimpered as she continued to wipe off her tears. "What's wrong with me?"

Just then a hand reached out to her and held her by her shoulder. In the next second, she was pulled against the man's hard chest. Tian Ruyi was so startled by Si Hongqi's sudden embrace that her tears finally stopped.
