"Don't be afraid."
Su Tang shot to her feet, her expression turning cold. "I'd like to see him try!"
Lu Xiao had been organizing things by the door when he heard the commotion. His gaze instantly turned ice-cold.
He strode to the courtyard gate and stared coldly at Wang Jianfeng's house across the way.
Wang Jianfeng looked like he was about to smash something else, but he must have seen Lu Xiao at the gate, because he froze.
Soothed by Zhang Cui, Mai Sui's crying gradually subsided.
The girl was sensible. Once she calmed down, she stopped crying and just stared at them with her big eyes.
Zhang Cui gently patted her daughter's back, whispering words that seemed as much for herself as for Mai Sui. "Don't be afraid, Mai Sui, don't be afraid. Aunt Su is here, Uncle Lu is here, and Mommy's here."
Lu Xiao turned around, his tall figure casting a shadow in the doorway.
He exuded a reassuring sense of security.
