“Aiya! I’ve finally caught you!”
By the sound of it, Ji Chi got that the one who had caught him was none other than the woman he was hiding from .
“L-Let me g-go!”
Feeling the strength of the cold hands tightly gripping his neck, he instinctively struggled .
No matter how hard he struggled, though, he could not escape from her clutch .
“Let you go? He he he! Stop dreaming; I’ve finally caught you after a hard time!”
With that being said, Qiao Jingyun threw him on the floor .
The boy was filled with so much fear from the woman’s actions that he closed his eyes .
The tiled floor without a carpet looked hard; the boy was sure that he would injure himself by falling on it!
Strangely, though, he did not feel any of the expected pain once he did .
Instead, something soft, which smelled sweet, cushioned his fall .
He opened his eyes a peep, just in time to hear a moan .
Opening his eyes, he saw Qu Jingwan’s face, which was already contorted because of the pain .
The boy felt exceptionally strange as he looked at this familiar face .
He had never expected this lady, whom he treated as an enemy, to sacrifice herself just to save him!
“You—”
For a moment, he did not know how to address her . That was because he had never properly talked to her in the past .
He was interrupted by the latter before he could speak further .
“Hey, are you alright?”
The first thought that came to this rich missy’s mind was not her injury but to check if the lad on top of her was fine .
She inspected the boy from head to toe before sighing in relief and letting him go .
“Thank god you’re alright…”
He felt more complex inside when he heard her grateful whisper .
No matter how mature he was, he was merely a child .
A child who lacked love at that .
As long as someone treated him slightly better, he would not be stingy with his feelings .
“Thank you, Auntie Jingwan . ”
He thanked her in this rare instant, and the way he addressed her became intimate .
The rich missy’s eyes lit up immediately at the little guy’s words, but before that closeness between them lasted, a cold woman’s voice interrupted .
“Alright . You two finally reconciling just when you’re about to die is just icing to the cake!”
Qiao Jingyun shot the pair a glance and scoffed, yet in the next instant, a dark and complicated glint flashed across her eyes .
He he he! It seems that she’ll succeed this time!
Di, di, di, di…
Somewhere in the dark room seemed to be leaking as there was a constant, rhythmic sound of water dripping .
Listening to the sound of the water dripping, the boy all of a sudden felt that he was too tired and needed sleep .
Just as he was about to fall asleep with the rhythmic sound of water dripping, the voice of the person whom he was anticipating the most rang in his ears .
“Ping An! Ping An…”
The anxious yet gentle voice kept sounding, and it made the child wake up again .
