As soon as Wang Jing heard that she could call her father, she didn't care how Nie Rougang sounded. Hope surged through her body like a drug. Her hands shook violently as she fumbled for her phone. She dialed Wang Chen, sobbing as she begged him to come.
Song Yue watched silently, her heart heavy. This arrogant young lady, who had always acted untouchable, was finally terrified.
She tugged gently at Nie Rougang's sleeve and lowered her voice. "Uncle… when Minister Wang comes, make her apologize to me. Then let her go."
She didn't want him to make more powerful enemies because of her.
Nie Rougang's brows drew together. He lifted her chin with his fingers, forcing her to meet his eyes.
"Did you forget what I taught you?" he said quietly. "You don't bully others. But you also never allow others to bully you. Because you are my girl."
Song Yue's face flushed. Her heart beat wildly as she leaned into his embrace. No matter how terrifying the world became, he was always her shelter.
