Chapter 97 Strange Feeling.

The province lord and his wife left the room a few moments later along with everyone else to give their daughter some peace.

It was evening already when the maid and the guards brought Fei Fei as the ladies had too much fun on their outing and returned just before supper.

-Why did you call me here?

She asked him quietly, once she came into the room and saw the unusual scene.

-Because you are the best option I have to let her talk about everything she went through and I saw how you helped Anna.

Besides, I seriously doubt that she would open up to a man right now.

He explained.

-I can try but don't blame me if it doesn't work.

Fei Fei said.

-No one will blame you if it does not work, but I think you are our best chance right now.

-Why me and not her mother?

-Think about it, who will a young woman open up to faster?

Her mother, or an older sister?

He asked.

-I get what you are trying to do, but if she does not want to bond with me then I will be only a stranger to her.

Fei Fei said.

-I believe that you can bond with her and any other woman for that matter.

You have the older sister aura around you and that is why everyone sees you as one.

-It seems that we will see if it's true or not.

Fei Fei sighed.

She loved to have little sisters around her, but most of them naturally became her sisters.

This would be the first time for her to actively try and become a sister to a woman and to add to the difficulty she was traumatized.

A few moments later Xiao Su opened her eyes and was terrified seeing Fei Fei.

She held to Paul's hand like she was asking him to protect her.

-Su calm down, She won't hurt you.

Paul said in the most soothing tone he could.

Hearing her name and his soothing tone, she managed to calm down a bit but she still looked at Fei Fei with fear.

-She is my slave and I called her here to take care of you while I'm gone for a moment.

Hearing those words made Xiao Su panic.

-Don't go.

She pleaded with tears in her eyes.

For some reason, she felt safer when he was around and she didn't want to lose this feeling.

-I will be right back.

-No.

She hugged his hand not wanting to let go.

Paul had an idea so he whispered something into Xiao Su's ear.

She blushed but let go of his hand, I will be right back, in the meantime, you can drink this.

Paul took out two bottles of cold water mixed with honey, handed them to the ladies, and left them alone.

Once he was out the door he saw Xiao Han and Liu Lili waiting at the door.

-What now?

His new uncle asked.

-Now we wait and let Fei Fei do her thing.

-Will this work?

His aunt asked.

-I have no idea, but this is the best shoot we have for now.

Paul was not mistaken as within a few minutes Xiao Su started to warm up to Fei Fei and not even half an hour after he left they all heard crying from the room.

Liu Lili wanted to barge in immediately but Paul and Xiao Han stopped her.

-Aunty, let her cry, for now, Fei Fei must have got through to her and she did it way faster than me.

Now she needs a good cry more than ever so let her cry everything out.

-But she is my daughter, if she needs to cry then why won't she cry on my shoulder?

Lili asked with tears in her eyes.

-Because it's easier for her to cry to her older sister than to her mother.

Paul explained.

-That's the whole reason I wanted Fei Fei to come here.

She is a natural at becoming an older sister to practically anyone.

Both of the parents were surprised at this.

-But she is our daughter and she should be able to tell or even cry out her grievances to us.

Xiao Han said.

-Have you ever considered that she might be ashamed?

Paul asked.

-She has nothing to be ashamed of.

Lili said through her tears.

-We all know it, but that does not change her feelings in this matter.

For now, let's leave them to sort this alone.

Paul said.

-I'm not going anywhere.

Lili said stubbornly.

-Lili you can't help here for now so let Fei Fei take care of it.

The province lord said.

-How can I when my baby is crying?

She said crying herself.

-Aunty, you did all that was in your power to help and no one can say otherwise, now she has the help she needs and the best thing for you to do is let Fei Fei help without interfering.

Paul said soothingly.

-Besides, We need to talk and this is the best opportunity for that.

-You said something like that earlier, so what did you want to discuss?

Xiao Han asked.

-Let's go somewhere to sit down, this is a long story and since you decided to take me in as your family, then you need to know everything about me.

Paul said seriously.

Then let's go to the dining room and talk during a meal.

The province lord said.

They left while inside the room, Xiao Su was crying her heart out, drenching Fei Fei's dress with her tears.

Fei Fei had no idea how Paul knew that this would happen but her newest little sister needed a big sister to cry to and was clinging to her for dear life while crying all of her grievances, pain, and shame out right now.

While she was doing her best to let her get it all out.

However, she felt something strange when she was holding the younger woman in her arms.

It was a strangely familiar feeling but she could not figure out what it meant, especially since they just met today for the first time.
