He steadied his mind and fed her another spoonful. Feeling her unblinking gaze, Su Zicang felt even more upset.
After eating, Xunmi's eyes did not move away from Su Zicang. Her original caution turned into a little unknown expectation.
Su Zicang couldn't help but reach out to rub her head and pull her into his arms.
"Baby, tell me what happened last night, okay?" As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the little body in his arms tremble violently.
Her fear was revealed without reservation, making him feel suffocated. He quickly coaxed her.
"Baby, be good. It's okay. I'm here. Hubby is here. No one can hurt you. Don't be afraid. Tell Hubby. Hubby will beat the bad guys away."
He didn't want to ask, but he had to.
There were no surveillance cameras in the villa. Ever since he left there, it had almost become an abandoned place.
He knew that it was because of him that she was in such danger. In addition to self-blame and fear, he also felt guilty.
But he couldn't let go of this matter. Although he had already decided to take her with him wherever he went in the future, he was still worried.
It was more reassuring to solve the root cause.
Xunmi seemed to have fallen into the memory of last night again. The images in her mind began to appear continuously. The fear in the depths of her heart made her face pale.
"No … Don't … Go away, go away … Don't …"
As long as she closed her eyes, she could see the evil gaze. It couldn't be driven away. She didn't want it.
Tears fell from her eyes, wetting the man's lapel.
Su Zicang carefully comforted the frightened baby in his arms. His hand gently stroked her back, trying to calm her down.
"Baby, those things are in the past. They can't bully you anymore. I'll be with you in the future. Don't be afraid.
"If you're afraid, call Hubby's name. I'll be there whenever you call, just like Ultraman. I'll beat all the monsters away for my baby."
His low and gentle voice carried an indescribable sense of longing. It was obviously very childish, but surprisingly, it made people feel at ease.
Xunmi slowly relaxed in such a comforting way. She slowly raised her head. Her red and swollen peach blossom eyes were like a little rabbit that had been wronged. She was cute and pitiful.
"Baby, look, your husband is here. Don't be afraid. Come, tell me what happened before your husband arrived."
Su Zicang held the hand that was clutching his shirt and squeezed it. He wanted to use physical contact to ease the tension in her heart.
Perhaps his eyes made her feel safe and warm. Xunmi was bewitched and began to recall what happened last night in a low voice.
"Mom … Ah, I'm sorry, Big Brother Su, I … called you Auntie Su wrongly."
Xunmi jumped in fright when she habitually addressed him, and her face turned even paler.
She hurriedly admitted her mistake. She had forgotten that Big Brother Su had told her not to say those two words in front of him. "I really didn't do it on purpose. Big Brother Su, don't be angry with me, okay?"
Xunmi, who was extremely uneasy, did not care about their current position. She squeezed into Su Zicang's arms and tried to hold on to his clothes.
It was as if this way, he wouldn't be abandoned and wouldn't be hated by the person in front of him.
Su Zicang's eyes stung, and his heart was filled with panic. He never thought that he would hurt her to this extent.
He actually felt like he was in a state of panic. He was such a jerk.
"Be good, don't cry. Why would your husband be angry with you? I can't wait to pamper you."
"Baby, have you forgotten? We're already husband and wife. My mother is naturally your mother too. You can call me whatever you want."
"And me too. You have to call me hubby. Otherwise, hubby will be angry."
He knew that it was impossible for her to not be afraid of him in a short period of time. The memories of the past were too deep.
Sigh. But he would work hard. He would work hard to raise this baby that he had neglected by his side.
He used to think that she was delicate, but at this moment, he only felt that she was extremely cute, obedient, and sensible.
Such an obedient baby should be more delicate. Not only that, he had to raise her to be arrogant and willful.
But judging from the current situation, he felt that there was still a long way to go.
Xunmi opened her eyes wide. There were still a few water droplets hanging on her long eyelashes. As her eyelashes trembled, they trembled. They were as beautiful as crystals.
Coupled with her delicate face, looking at you timidly, even a heart of stone could melt at this moment.
"I … can I really?" Her voice could not be any softer, full of uncertainty.
Su Zicang smiled and nodded. "Yes, come, call me hubby."
"… hubby." After a long silence, she called out shyly like a mosquito. If Su Zicang had not been close, he probably would not have heard it.
He was barely satisfied. To be able to reach this step, his baby had improved a lot. He had time to take it slowly.
"Then baby, can you tell me what happened last night? After you're done, forget it. We don't want those unhappy memories. When the time comes, hubby will take you to put in better and more beautiful memories."
He would also personally paint a unique picture with her and engrave it into her little head so that she would remember it for the rest of her life.
Xunmi, who was comforted, nodded obediently. "Mom was worried about me, so she arranged for someone to come over and cook for me every day."
"Last night, as usual, I went back to my room after eating. But after a while, I felt that something was wrong with my body."
"Then … then … three people appeared. They … they …"
Speaking of this, she bit her red lips tightly. Her face that had finally calmed down began to tense up with fear again, but it was slightly better than before.
"During that time, they said that the woman told them that no one would come to save me. I was very desperate, thinking … thinking that if it really … really reached that step, I would …"
She did not finish her sentence, but Su Zicang knew that if she could not resist, she would commit suicide.
He did not forget the scene last night. She was holding a sharp piece of porcelain in her hand. She might not be able to hurt people, but it was very easy to cut the carotid artery or blood vessels.
His arms around her tightened. She was afraid, but how could he not be afraid?
"It's all my fault. Hubby will reflect on himself. Baby, watch over me, okay?"
"If hubby doesn't do well in the future, you can hit me. I promise I'll be obedient and let you hit me."
Su Zicang secretly remembered his baby's words. He would go over to see the results of the interrogation later.
When he went upstairs earlier, he vaguely heard those people talking about a woman. His intuition told him that this matter was not simple, and it was very likely that it was directed at him.
The corners of his lips curled up into a cold smile. No matter what the purpose was, no matter who the other party was, the last thing they should do was to hurt his baby.
However, he had to thank the other party for letting him see his heart clearly in time and not letting him regret it for the rest of his life.
Looking at his baby who was still staring at him blankly in his arms, as if she was frightened by his words just now, his heart was instantly filled.
