By the time they returned home, it was already past midnight. Little Xiujing, who had experienced so much terror, was utterly exhausted. After taking a bath, she fell into a deep sleep nestled in the arms of her sister.
Zheng Xiuyan carefully put her sister to bed before tidying herself up. She then returned to the living room and sat across from Xiao Qiang, who was in the middle of drinking tea.
"Elder Brother Xiao, thank you for today." Zheng Xiuyan looked at Xiao Qiang and sincerely apologized.
Xiao Qiang shook his head: "You don't need to thank me. I told you, as long as you stay in my house, I will protect you. In other words, if you were to leave and something were to happen, I may not necessarily intervene. That's a matter of principle."
