The mother and daughter looked up, and Gong Ye's figure had already stepped in front of them.
Hua Shiyu slowly stood up...
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go home."
Gong Ye glanced at his watch with some displeasure.
Tianxin instinctively nestled into Hua Shiyu's arms.
From Tianxin's eyes, Hua Shiyu saw a look of panic, even though the little girl was still pretending to be calm.
She turned her head to glance at Gong Ye.
"I want to talk to you!"
"Sister Mei, take Tianxin to my bedroom to rest for a bit, run some hot water for her to take a bath..."
"Alright!"
Sister Mei quickly picked up Tianxin and headed upstairs.
Hua Shiyu looked up towards the second floor, and only after the bedroom door closed did she turn her head back to Gong Ye.
"Let Tianxin stay over tonight! I can see she's really scared, I want to be with her for the night, okay?"
Her tone was as gentle as possible.
With a hint of pleading.
