4 The Little Devil

Looking at her enraged Big cousin, the little girl furrowed her brows and stepped forward to protect her Big brother from 'harm.'

"Big sister. Please spare big brother. He did not mean what he did. It was just a slip of the hand and I think he just missed me so much that's he cannot keep his eyes off me. Please... please... don't go berserk on petty thing like this. D-don't be childish!"

'Pacifying a bull ready to go berserk is harder than marking a perfect score in a High School exam for her. The only way for the bull not to harm her brother was to resort on underhanded tactics,' the little girl thought.

Hearing the word petty and childish from a girl 8 years younger than her hurt Jia Ne's ego. 'The heck? How come I am the petty and childish one?!' She felt so wronged by her cousin's words. A few minutes ago, she was molested trying to defend her from that pedophile but how come the dog that she fed had bitten her hand instead? The worst feeling of all is that the pervert does not seem to be remorseful at all. She cannot really read what's going in his mind but from the lights flashing across his slightly dimmed eyes, she saw….. 'D-disgust?'. This time, it's her turn to be electrocuted and remain stunned in place.

After a few breaths that seemed to last a lifetime, her soul returned to her body. She really wanted to vent out her rage on him by by skinning him alive but unfortunately, he used some skill that allows enemy's allies to switch sides to attack its original owner. Getting himself a watch dog ready to be deployed, which turns out to be her little cousin, at any time.

Can't her cousin see? She was the victim here! Why does she need to defend him like his life is in her dainty hands? She definitely report the school her cousin was admitted in for not teaching the correct ways to know what are the boundaries of being right or wrong.

'Did she hit her head on the way or something? I just made a slight miscalculation and lost sight of her for a few minutes and now she instantly became his little minion.'

She inhaled deeply and made a long sigh.

What's happening right now is a bitter pill to swallow for Jia Ne. Her face turned sour knowing that there is no point of return for her from here. Her path of retreat was blocked by the little devil. She can no longer marry her ideal guy because she is no longer pure.

Having this line of thought, she clenched hands into small fists and intensely averted her gaze to the real culprit and imprint his face into the depths of her memories.

'I guess... I have to beat the crap out of this pedophile when I have the chance.'

Jia Ne tried composing herself and look at a certain someone with eagerness.

"Hey you as..... @#$@$#" she tried speaking but a curse almost left her lips and immediately, chilly daggers directed at her. She bit her lower lip and paused to contemplate on the words she liked to say.

*Cough

"Hey Mister. What were you trying to do with little cousin, ah?" finally she said the frequently asked question in her mind almost an hour ago. She locked her attention to his facial features and can't help but admire his heaven's gift while in the middle of her interrogation.

'Oh? How come I never noticed it earlier? He's quite handsome than I thought.'

Looking at that flickering long and curvy eyelashes, jade-like facial skin, peach supple lips, deep almond eyes, perfectly arched eyebrows and elegantly elevated nose bridge, why does she feel that the more she looks at him she felt weird? She thought for a while and… 'Eh? Why don't I feel admiration on his features the more I stare at him but it was… j-jealousy?' Her face instantly flushed red and she snapped herself out of it.

She cleared her throat and looked at him expectantly waiting for a clarification but she was answered with silence.

"....." The guy didn't seem to notice her weird gaze or hear her. He was still locked up in his own world in seclusion. Her mood reverted back to anger and harrumphed to herself.

'Hmph I doubt that this guy feels sorry at all. Don't you ever dare think of some perverted stuffs, you hear??!' She cursed deep in her heart. She wanted to peel this man alive but can't do it. Not unless the little devil is not around.

'Sigh.'

'Fine. I'll put up with it for now damn it.' Jia Ne furrowed her brows and looked directly at her cousin. She felt really dissatisfied with this turn of events but cannot do anything about it. She temporarily hid her savage ideas deep in her thoughts and looked at her cousin before trying to compose herself again.

It took her quite some time before the little devil look pleased with the outer demeanor she's exuding.

'Just where the heck did this little devil took after from? Hmph.'

*Cough.

She crouched down in a gentle manner in front of Ji Chen to look at his face directly again. She basically wanted to imprint her enemy's face into her memory so that she can hunt him down in the depths of the earth in the future.

A smile but is not a smile flashed on her face however she immediately felt a sudden drop in the temperature surrounding her.

'Tch.'
