Mu Xingye clenched his hands in the dark, his body completely engulfed by the shadows.
That night, she had pleaded with him in the same way!
The fear of that night had become her nightmare!
He slowly stepped forward, holding Xia Pengpeng's hand tightly.
"Pengpeng, don't be afraid."
Xia Pengpeng clutched his hand, seeming to sleep a bit more peacefully, not crying out as she had been before.
Mu Xingye gently stroked her little face with utmost tenderness.
"Pengpeng, don't be scared, it's all in the past now."
He slowly lay down beside her and gently pulled her into his embrace.
"Pengpeng, tell me, how should I confess about what happened five years ago, should I tell you that the person who hurt you was me, that I am Baby Mu's dad!"
"Do you know how scared I am? I'm afraid that once I tell the truth, I'll lose you forever!"
...
Xia Pengpeng sat in her office, having spaced out for half an hour already.
