13. I'm sorry Xiao Ling..

When Mo Ling saw the busy old man sitting in the living room alive, she knew how much she missed him.

This old man who's unrelated to her gave his life away while protecting her.

On the day when she got kidnapped, Old Master Bi was with her and together they tried to escape the pursuit of their kidnappers.

After a long time, when they encountered a dead end he released her hand and tried to find an escape route for her.

But before that their kidnappers found them.

This old man stood in front of her as a shield and faced them alone.

"Old man you can die now.." they pointed their guns at them ready to shoot.

Old Master Bi hugged her tightly when they opened fire.

Bullets penetrated his back and blood flowed like a river staining her hands. The warmth of his blood sent shivers down her spine.

All she heard was his hurried breath in her ears and his slow whisper..

"I.. I'm sorry.. I'm sorry Xiao Ling.. I couldn't save you…" after that she didn't even hear his breathing.

For the next few days in that dark room where she was kept.. she can feel the warmth of the flowing blood and hear his breathing voice. It became a nightmare to her.

Now, when she saw the lively old man her eyes turned red.

She didn't want to disturb the image before her. She's afraid that it's just a dream.

Mo Ling came out of her thoughts when she felt a slightly rough hand holding her wrist.

She gave a jerk and forced out her hand from the man's hold and looked at him with a frown.

"What are you doing?"

Bi Yuhan felt the emptiness in his hand and rubbed his fingers against the other.

Just then Old Master and Aunt Wen saw them at the entrance of the living room.

"You're here."

"Come, come.. take a seat." After saying that to Mo Ling and Bi Yuhan, Old Master turned to glare at Aunt Wen.

"You go and prepare lunch."

'sigh.. Old Master always behaves like a child when the matter involves Young Master Mo.'

Sighing inside, Aunt Wen went to prepare lunch.

Mo Ling heard the excitement in the old man's voice and her lips curled upwards.

She gave out a very pleasant presence while walking towards Old Master Bi.

Bi Yuhan observed every change in the boy and tried to analyse every expression in him.

Old Master Bi is nervous and also excited at the same time when facing Mo Ling.

He knew that Mo Ling blames him for the hardships she's facing in the Bi family.

But he's helpless. He can only do that much to protect her. And he can't be soft-hearted when it comes to her safety. That's his only priority.

"Xiao Ling.."

When he hesitated to speak, Mo Ling suddenly half knelt before him and took his hands in hers.

Old Master Bi stiffened at the sight of her. He looked into her eyes and got even more shocked.

The eyes of the girl before him are so bright and more profound. There's some majesty in them. Even when she's kneeling on one knee she's giving out a superior feeling that everyone is beneath her.

"Grandpa.. I'm sorry.."
