Anger flared again.
He asked again, "My child, who do you plan to keep in the dark?"
In the folded cuff of her bathrobe sleeve, her wrist bone was tense, the ulnar bone almost protruding through the skin.
Without meaning to see it, she immediately shook her head, "No... no one, I just think that there's no difference between the surnames Xu and Lei."
Then, her explanation didn't reach the man's ears, treated as if it were nonsense.
Xu Jingxi glanced at her, was it her 185 code, Henry, Liu Huaiying from 11 years ago, or her favorite silver-haired puppies?
The rage was there, but unnoticed by anyone.
The man's neck, at the collar of his bathrobe, turned a flushed, fiery red, his veins roughly throbbing.
But when he looked at her, tears were already about to fall.
His gaze landed on her abdomen, and Xu Jingxi forcefully suppressed his anger, embraced her, and laid her back on the bed.
The conditions he had set today, she was forcibly made to accept.
