His words were mocking Tong Yan, but anyone could hear the distress in his tone.
Everyone knows that Qing Yafeng dotes on his daughter. It's not that he doesn't side with Shi Jinyang, but that in his concept, no matter what happens, a man can hold up the sky above a woman's head, but , there is no reason for women to resist defending!
With Tong Yan’s small body, do you still want to protect others
It’s good if you didn’t get beaten to death!
Men should have the responsibility of men!
Tong Yan seemed not to have heard what he said, and looked at Shi Jinyang with stiff eyes. After sweeping away her previous calmness when facing everyone, her eyes suddenly became confused.
She just looked at him like this and didn't even say anything. However, Shi Jinyang saw through everything she wanted to say at a glance.
He walked towards her in a few steps and stared at her weak shoulders quietly. He put his hand on her, hesitated, and patted her gently, "Don't worry, it'll be fine!"
The gentle tone was the same as every time he comforted her when she was scared. Overnight, the two of them seemed to have returned to their childhood.
As a child, Tong Yan was afraid of the dark, afraid of being alone in a tight environment, afraid of heights, and even afraid of flying.
Shi Jinyang was only four years older than her. However, every time she was afraid of something, he would always be by her side, hold her in his arms, and speak softly in a tone as gentle as the spring breeze. He comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
"Don't worry, it'll be okay!"
"Yanyan, I will protect you!"
Tong Yan stared at him absentmindedly for a while, as if she had forgotten that there were so many people there, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
As if she couldn't see anyone else present, she stood on tiptoes and suddenly opened her arms to hug him.
Her hug was very forceful, so deep that it seemed to blend the two of them into one. She was not shy at all, nor was she as reserved as many girls.
Her body was trembling slightly, and Shi Jinyang could clearly feel her fear through her arms.
The childish face, who had never been afraid of anything since he was a child, and whose courage had always been extraordinary, suddenly showed such a side in front of him. The deepest part of Shi Jinyang's chest seemed to be touched softly by something, and his whole heart became soft. .
He didn't care how many people were there. He gently raised his hand and hugged her back.
Patting her back, which suddenly started to lose weight, Shi Jinyang comforted her, "It's okay, it'll be okay."
"Yeah!" Tong Yan buried her face in his shoulder and nodded, her voice choked with sobs.
Qing Yafeng watched this scene quietly from the side, touching his chin with his hand, squinting his eyes as if thinking about something, his eyes were very deep.
The two people in the center of the crowd were still hugging each other, and they didn't know how many minutes they lasted before slowly letting go.
Shi Jinyang then left the Qing family with the Lyle family, under the watchful eyes of a large group of domestic and foreign guests.
Tong Yan seemed to have been drained of her soul, staring blankly in the direction he left, and did not speak for a long time.
"Already gone!" Qing Yafeng couldn't stand it any longer. He took a deep breath and reminded him.
Tong Yan came back to her senses, her eyes stiffened and shifted, as if she was a little embarrassed by her gaffe.
"How long have you been poisoned by that kid?" Qing Yafeng turned to her and asked with an expressionless face.
"What is poisonous or not?" Tong Yan gave him an angry look and pretended not to understand what he said.
