The assistant wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he shut his mouth.

“Since this matter is related to the Qin family, let the little girl’s family investigate.”

Fernans’ tone was calm. “She dares to take responsibility. Our Fernans family can’t afford to lose such a person.”

Pei Yunge glanced at Fernans instinctively.

He did not expect the Old Master to say this.

However, when the old butler glanced at Fernans, his heart was as clear as a mirror.

Although the Old Master was considered a good person, he was still protective of his child. The Old Master was determined to let Tang Boyang receive punishment because the Old Master really liked Miss Pei.

He also did not want his biological grandson’s marriage to be ruined because of Tang Boyang’s mistake.

After all, the Old Master felt the most guilty towards Young Master.

Fernans looked at Pei Yunge. “Lass, how’s your grandfather?”

Pei Yunge said, “It will be cured.”

Fernans nodded and heaved a sigh of relief. When he saw that Pei Yunge’s tone was serious, he felt a little jealous.

“Lass, you can’t bully people because of this. It doesn’t matter if someone betrays their loved ones because of you.”

Hearing this, Pei Yunge glanced at Huo Shidu beside her.

He continued, “I’ll make Roland bear the consequences of whatever mistake he has made.”

…

Fernans left.

In the car, the old butler could not help saying, “Old Sir, actually, you love Mr Roland a lot too. You can ask Miss Pei…”

Fernans shook his head. He looked much older than before, but his silver-white hair was still combed neatly, like an old gentleman from the last century.

“Qu Mi, I’ve done so many wrong things in the past that I’ll live with guilt for the rest of my life.”

His wrinkled hand was like the skin of an old tree as his fingers caressed the walking stick. “I betrayed God. Some sins and punishments can only end with my life.”

He had let his wife down.

He had let Roland’s mother down and had not taught Roland well.

Therefore, he did not want any more regrets with regards to Huo Shidu.

…

“Older Brother seems to know more than me.”

Pei Yunge stared straight at the man, her tone not questioning.

“Hm?”

The man glanced sideways at her. Although he did not admit it, the way he looked at her was still deliberately teasing.

Pei Yunge thought of Fernans’ words just now and did not plan to make Huo Shidu admit it. Instead, she laughed unconsciously.

Just as Huo Shidu thought that the little girl was going to fly into a rage out of humiliation, Pei Yunge suddenly walked towards him.

She only tugged at his sleeve with one hand and leaned her head against his firm and warm chest.

Instantly, the man froze.

He lowered his peach blossom eyes silently as dark emotions brewed in his eyes.

Pei Yunge leaned against his chest fearlessly and nuzzled against him intimately. Her tone was uncharacteristically reliant. “Brother, I don’t dare to bet on everything.”

She was afraid too.

He was afraid that this person would be unhappy because of this.

To Huo Shidu, the little girl’s intimacy was more like a bewitching medicine that made one’s rationality collapse.

The man’s sexy Adam’s apple moved uncontrollably.

He closed his eyes and suppressed the desire in them.

Huo Shidu reached out and pulled out the little girl’s back collar. It was not considered rough, but it was obvious that the man was not as restrained as usual.

In the next second, he carried Pei Yunge.

Pei Yunge instinctively hooked her arms around his neck and was placed on the table.

Huo Shidu looked up and met the little girl’s dark eyes.

The moment he spoke, his voice was hoarse and filled with an uncontrollable desire that Pei Yunge had never heard before.

“Pei Yunge, don’t give up your bottom line to anyone.”

The man’s eyes were still unreadable. “Including me, do you understand?”
