She’s So Clingy, Even Ninth Master Has Given In

Huo Yanqing sat at his desk, quietly watching the girl in front of him apologize. Sheng Xizhao was the stepdaughter of his sister-in-law’s older sister. Gentle and meek, she never stood up for herself. Even when she was the one who had been wronged, she came to apologize to him.

Sheng Xizhao lowered her eyes to her fingertips. “I’m sorry, Uncle Nine. I came to apologize. I was wrong yesterday.”

The girl’s eyes reddened, and tears fell to the floor like jade beads.

Huo Yanqing could almost hear his heart breaking. He couldn’t help recalling the sight that morning when he opened his eyes: the girl, her clothes askew and one shoulder bare, her lips as red as cherries, cuddled against his arm like a little cat after sleeping by his side all night.
