451: Can't You Forgive Me?

Can't You Forgive Me?

"I'm sorry."0

Huo Jinyan apologized to her softly, hoping she would calm down. Her eyes would swell after crying for so long.

Unexpectedly, it would have been fine if he did not apologize—but once he did, she cried even harder.

Huo Jinyan really did not know what to do; this little girl was so pitiful that he could only coax and pamper her. However, when she cried, she did not seem to hear anything.

Huo Jinyan reached out to touch her chin. "Don't cry, okay? You're still injured. How about we sit over there? You can scold me as much as you want once you're seated. Here, let me wipe your tears, alright?"

His voice was surprisingly gentle as he asked for Lu Ning's opinion.

However, Lu Ning did not say anything. Huo Jinyan tried to lift her chin gently, but she did not resist.

As he raised her head, looking at her slim face, Huo Jinyan's eyes were filled with tears. His heart ached for her, and he raised his hand to gently wipe the tears off her face.

As he wiped her tears, he apologized to her softly. "I was wrong, I'm sorry. I didn't notice the time, nor did I call to tell you. I really made you worry."

Lu Ning looked at him and felt the gentleness of his hand. She pursed her lips and tears fell from her eyes again.

Huo Jinyan looked at her and frowned slightly, his eyes turning red. "Can't you forgive me?"

Lu Ning still did not speak. She just looked at him with her sparkling bright eyes.

Huo Jinyan continued to wipe her tears patiently.

However, she had cried too hard just now. When Lu Ning tried to catch her breath, a small snot bubble blew out from her nose.

She was so shocked that she forgot how to cry.

Huo Jinyan was also stunned for a moment. Then, he looked at her expression and suddenly laughed.

Lu Ning came back to her senses when she heard his laughter. She raised her hand and slapped him.

Huo Jinyan was still grinning, and his clear laughter entered Lu Ning's ears, making her flush with anger.

Huo Jinyan smiled and raised his hand to wipe her snot away without any disdain.

Lu Ning was furious when she saw him laugh. She suddenly raised her hand, but stopped when her hand was about to land on his arm. After being stunned for two seconds, she kicked him and turned to leave.

Huo Jinyan looked at her leaving angrily, the smile on his lips never fading.

How could someone be so adorable even in such a sorry state?

…

When Lu Ning returned, Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi were watching television with Lu Jingzhi in the living room.

As she pushed the door open and entered, Shen Yunci immediately stood up.

"Ning'ning's back!"

"Mommy missed you so much!"

Lu Zhi also stood up from the sofa. "Daddy missed you too."

Lu Ning could not help but laugh.

However, her eyes were red. She had wanted to avoid Shen Yunci and the others as she came in, but she bumped right into them.

Shen Yunci noticed it when she walked over.

Looking at her red eyes, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she hugged her gently. "It's okay, it's okay. It's good that your little brother is back. It's Mommy's fault, I went to tell you right away when I was anxious."

Lu Ning was startled for a moment before she heaved a sigh of relief; crying because of Lu Jingzhi—this interpretation was not exactly wrong. Maybe I just feel a little guilty after crying so much in front of Huo Jinyan.

Wait, why would I feel guilty?

Lu Ning did not understand either.

When Shen Yunci let go of her, she turned around and saw Lu Qing coming from the balcony.

As Lu Qing's gaze fell on Lu Ning's face, Lu Ning was stunned. She felt that he could see something through her face.

Lu Ning: "…"

Lu Ning turned to look at Shen Yunci. "Mommy, I'm a little tired. I'll go back to my room first."

Lu Zhi immediately looked over. "Aren't you going to have dinner?"

"Yes, I won't be eating. I'm a little tired and just want to sleep."

Lu Jingzhi also hopped down. "I'm not eating either."
