After the punishment.
The little girl in his arms obediently leaned on him.
Huo Yaoting frowned.
Closing his eyes, Huo Yaoting lowered his head and kissed her on her heart before bowing. He grabbed her clothes and wrapped her tightly in it, gently placing her in the front seat and buckling her seat belt.
He drove the car to its maximum speed and headed straight for Fragrant City Apartment.
When Huo Yaoting returned, he was wiping away the dust with a feather duster when he saw the pale Ye Xi in Huo Yaoting's arms.
However, Huo Yaoting's face was as cold as an asura, he dared not ask and could only watch as carried the person into the bedroom.
Last night, he had people investigate every single one of the people that the little girl had been in contact with since she was young.
However, before the little girl turned sixteen, other than the Qiao siblings, she had very little contact with anyone, even if they were of the same sex.
As for the information from before she was sixteen, it was practically all completely related to her and Qiao Jinglian.
Furthermore, regardless of whether it was from the same sex or the opposite sex, they had both alienated Ye Xi because of Qiao Jinglian's warning, so much that before Ye Xi was sixteen, he didn't have a single friend other than Qiao Jinglian.
The information also showed that the twelve-year-old Ye Xi was like a follower to Qiao Jinglian. As long as there was a Qiao Jinglian, there would be a Ye Xi.
And after twelve years of age, Ye Xi suddenly started to distance himself from Qiao Jinglian, focusing solely on learning, and jumped two levels in a row.
In other words, when other people graduated from university, they would normally be 21 or 22 years old, or even 23 or 24 years old.
It was also at that time that Qiao Jinglian started his "bullying" spree of four years towards Ye Xi.
Therefore, the senior student that she talked about last time, the guy who loved to bully her, was Qiao Jinglian!
Huo Yaoting pursed his lips, staring deeply at Ye Xi who was in his embrace, "At the age of twelve, someone stole your heart, right?"
Huo Yaoting gently placed Ye Xi on the bed.
Ye Xi laid on the bed, her beautiful eyebrows also locked tightly together. In this stretch of blue, her entire person seemed to be depressed and unhappy.
When Huo Yaoting saw this little girl, his heart was suddenly pierced.
He took a breath, bent down, and kissed between her tightly knitted eyebrows.
Then, he got up and went to the Item Storage Pavilion on the side of the wall. He took out the medicine kit and took out the ointment and sterile swab, then walked back to Ye Xi's side.
Huo Yaoting pursed his lips tightly, opened up an ointment and applied it on her. Suddenly, the little girl on the bed started to sob.
Huo Yaoting's throat tightened. He knew that he had hurt her, but he couldn't control himself.
As long as he thought that the person in her heart wasn't him, he would feel a mad jealousy!
Huo Yaoting's heart sank, his gaze was bright yet complicated as he stared at the little girl who was spitting tears.
Huo Yaoting's heart seemed to be held tightly by a pair of heartless big hands.
Perhaps at this moment, he finally realized that the punishment he had given her, the bullying. In the end, his pain, was far heavier than hers, much worse than hers.
The corner of Huo Yaoting's mouth rose bitterly, and was about to stand up, but his hand was held gently by a small hand.
After he retracted his gaze, Huo Yaoting looked up at the small girl who still had her eyes closed.
The moment he looked at her, her long eyelashes trembled, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
She looked at him with eyes like a ruby lying in water, so beautiful they broke one's heart.
Huo Yaoting's Adam's apple moved, he closed his eyes and kissed her eyes.
Ye Xi's tears rolled down her face once again as she beat him with her other hand.
Huo Yaoting's face tensed up, her lips, between her eyebrows, nose, and cheeks.
At this moment, he seemed like a completely different person from last night and the time he was in the carriage.
