Chapter 54: 54. The family was reunited

“Who cut off your thumb tendon?”

The man’s angry voice was filled with suppressed anger and a chilly grumpiness. The temperature around him seemed to have dropped by several degrees.

He Yi did not expect Yi Liangze’s reaction to be so intense. She instinctively wanted to pull her hand back, but his iron-like grip firmly held her, preventing her from escaping.

“Let go of me first!” He Yi whispered. “Don’t scare Wan Wan.”

Yi Liangze looked at Wan Wan behind He Yi. The girl was holding the furry bear cub and looking at him timidly. His angry look scared her.

Taking a deep breath, Yi Liangze suppressed his anger and slowly let go of He Yi. However, his gaze followed her as he waited for her answer.

He Yi turned around and said indifferently, “It was cut off when I first entered the prison.”

Most of the female prisoners in the prison were not easy to deal with. If someone with bad intentions bribed the people inside to deliberately bully her, then she would probably die and never come out again.

However, she survived. Although she was covered in bruises, she came out alive in the end.

Yi Liangze made an unexpected move — he gently took He Yi into his arms. He did not kiss her but hugged her tightly.

“I’ve made you suffer all these years” His voice was very low and gentle, filled with pity. However, He Yi did not know if it was an illusion, but she heard a trace of self-blame and guilt in it. ‘What did this have to do with him? Or perhaps, he was just simply feeling pity and sympathy for her?’

He Yi was held in Yi Liangze’s arms, and her mind gradually became a little dazed. The man’s unique aura seemed familiar, like an impenetrable net that was tightly wrapped around her. It made her feel suffocated, but there was no way out. Some scattered memories surged into her mind. The terrifying shadow that was locked in the depths of her memory overlapped with the man who was holding her gently at this moment.

She suddenly pushed him away in panic and took a few steps back, her eyes filled with confusion. Yi Liangze was stunned, he did not understand why she strongly rejected his closeness.

He Yi could not explain this either. She could only try her best to calm down and try to remain calm. “Sorry, I’m a little tired.”

Seeing that He Yi’s face was pale and her body was tense, she was like a frightened little beast, full of vigilance and wariness towards him. Yi Liangze was a little helpless. Although he longed to get close to the hot and enchanting body in his memory, he could only suppress his intense instinctive reaction and stop forcing her.

“You should rest for a while. Tomorrow afternoon or evening, I’ll bring the baby over for lunch.” Yi Liangze suggested a concession. It would give her time to rest and also give her psychological preparation.

“What!” He Yi gaped. He was coming back tomorrow? And he was bringing Baby with him?

‘However, didn’t he find the baby’s biological mother and was busy getting married? How could he still have the leisure and time to come over to her place to freeload?’

Yi Liangze originally wanted to give her a gentle kiss before leaving, but the little girl was very cunning. He had just taken a step when she hid behind He Yi and made faces at him. He smiled dotingly and looked deeply at both mother and daughter. He said gently, “See you tomorrow.” With that, he turned around and left.
