Chapter 398: Chapter 408: You’re Overthinking It
“Su Family said I am their granddaughter!” her voice had a bit of grievance, and it carried a heavy nasal tone. “I’m not! My surna is Sheng, I am my dad’s daughter.”
“I know! No one can force you.” Xu Qigang rubbed her head, “Be good! There’s one more hour until dawn, get so more sleep.” Since she was unwilling to speak, he certainly wasn’t going to force her. Xiao Ning’s experiences from childhood were inseparable from her biological mother’s abandonnt. Since she didn’t want to acknowledge it, he would then even more ensure he sheltered her from the storms.
“I’m scared!” Sheng Ning held onto him and wouldn’t let go, “Stay with .”
“Nonsense!” Xu Qigang’s face unconsciously turned red.
“You thought that? I’m just scared being alone; I have no other requests.”
“…” This girl, recovered a bit and started to tornt him again.
Eventually, Xu Qigang also lay down on the bed.
The single bed was very narrow, and he was tall. Once he got on, there barely was any space left. Xu Qigang, fearing he’d squeeze her, simply embraced her into his arms.
“Ah…” Sheng Ning scread in surprise, her hands pushing against his firm chest, her heart also started pounding.
“Get so sleep.” Xu Qigang turned sideways, adjusted to a comfortable position, and faced her.
Sheng Ning was indeed tired, she deliberately acted carefree in front of Xu Qigang, but as soon as she closed her eyes, the scenes of her previous life and ti at the Su Family slowly overlapped.
That oppressive despair surged to her heart again, making her curl up in anguish even in her sleep.
Xu Qigang’s expression deepened; in the darkness, he repeatedly and finely traced her eyebrows and lips.
Xu Qigang gave a bitter smile, then leaned down to kiss her forehead before closing his eyes to sleep.

Tonight, many people were destined to be awake.
Locked in the Detention Room, Qin Cuifen hugged her knees, her eyes full of resentnt towards Hai Lan across from her.
“Hai Lan, didn’t you say I am the Su Family’s granddaughter? Why do they dare lock up here? Aren’t they afraid of Su Family’s retaliation?” Being locked up here, Qin Cuifen’s brain, initially clouded by illusions, gradually cooled down, the more she cald the more frightened she beca.
The Su Family had shown no reaction so far, clearly not believing it. If so, she was dood.
Hai Lan herself was full of anger with nowhere to vent; Qin Cuifen’s questioning only received a mocking cold laugh.
“You did a fine job, and you have the nerve to ask ?” She, the esteed Miss of the Hai Family, was actually locked up in such a place, how could she face anyone once she got out?
Her brother really should have gotten her out at once, see how she will complain to their father once she gets out.
“You really lack brains; you should’ve just hit Liu Yilan, why did you have to disfigure her too?” Hai Lan accused. “If you really wanted to disfigure her, couldn’t you have done it secretly? In front of so many people, you got implicated as well.”
“She deserved it, I was just defending myself, and it wasn’t intentional.” Qin Cuifen would never admit she intentionally disfigured soone. She still needed to maintain her kind, gentle appearance!
“Many people saw it was Liu Yilan who first pinned down and hit . I… it was just an accident, was that still wrong?” Qin Cuifen started to cry pitifully. “Hai Lan, it’s so cold here, think of a way to get us out!”
“I wish I could!” Hai Lan sighed, “We’ll have to wait! Yelling isn’t going to help!” Now that they weren’t being released, it wasn’t a matter that could be resolved by shouting.
