The Darling Is Too Much to Handle, and Ninth Master Has Given In

Huo Yanqing sits at his desk, quietly watching the girl in front of him apologize. Sheng Xizhao is the stepdaughter of his sister-in-law's older sister. Gentle by nature, she never fights back. Even when she's the one who has suffered, she still comes to apologize to him.

Sheng Xizhao lowers her gaze to her fingertips. "I'm sorry, Uncle Jiu. I came to apologize. I was wrong yesterday."

The girl's eyes turn red, and tears fall to the ground like jade beads. Huo Yanqing hears his heart break. He can't help thinking of the sight that greeted him when he opened his eyes that morning: the girl, her clothes loose and one shoulder bare, her lips as red as cherries, cuddled against his arm like a kitten. She had slept beside him all night.
