Bearing the pain, Mu Tianye pulled over the blanket and tiptoed to cover the little girl beside him, tucking in the corners with care.
"I'll let it slide this time, but once I'm healed, you're in for it!"
His voice was a low threat, but his eyes brimmed with doting affection.
He still vividly remembered what happened that night.
As he swerved the car to protect her, the little girl had called out his name in panic and flung herself at him—it was clear she was terrified to the extreme, yet she still wanted to use her feeble strength to protect him.
This little creature, this little fool...
She loved him, purely, without any ulterior motives, and just for that alone, she was worth cherishing for a lifetime.
Glancing sideways, he watched the peacefully sleeping little face in his arms and slowly curved his lips into a smile.
Bending his right arm, he gently embraced Ning Xiaofei, like a mighty eagle shielding its egg with its wings—cautious and yet completely unrestrained.
