Chapter 55 (2/2)

The little cat seemed to be regaining her spirit. She was not as depressed as before and was complaining about someone. Her voice was much louder.

Li Junyu’s inky pupils contracted slightly, massaging her again, and going along with whatever she said.

He intended to ignore the fact that the little cat would soon become a lady of the Li family for now as she spoke freely with swear words.

“So, what she said was likely to deliberately provoke you. You should not allow yourself to be made angry by such people.”

“…”

Ruan Mengmeng was stunned. Hearing Li Junyu’s take, it seemed to be the case.

Her small head snuggled deeper into his warm hug.

Ruan Mengmeng did not even realize it herself that she had unconsciously started to snuggle into Li Junyu’s body, hoping to find warmth in his embrace.

The sense of security emanating from the man was attracting her unwittingly.

“But… what she said might not necessarily be false.” The girl’s voice was dull with a kind of timidity that she rarely showed.

“My father hasn’t contacted me for a long time. The old woman was right. My father really doesn’t want me… ever since I left, he has never once called me.”

Ruan Mengmeng had been pretending not to care when in fact, she cared very much.

Although her mother was not dead, and her father has remarried to her stepmother furthermore seem to have alienated her. But during her long, long life the three people she cared about most were her sister, father, and grandfather.

She had never cared about outsiders’ opinions or even her grandmother’s and aunt’s prejudice toward her because those people were not important to her.

Alas, she really cared about her dad.

As her sister had said, she was a stubborn girl. The kind of person who was not easily hurt by outsiders, but often easily bruised by those who they really cared about.
