85: Bai Jie feels guilty and inferior

“Xiao Feng…”

[Ding! Bai Jie's favorability towards the host +10, currently 80 points. Host, keep up the good work!]

Bai Jie’s voice was choked with sobs, and her body trembled violently like a leaf in the wind. Tears, like a bursting dam, gushed out uncontrollably, streaming down her pale yet still beautiful face, instantly soaking a large part of her clothes, which clung tightly to her body, outlining her sharply rising and falling curves…

The tears slid down her neckline, climbing over her graceful curves, then flowing over her flat abdomen, and down into unknown depths…

She covered her face with her hands, her shoulders heaving violently up and down with her sobs like waves.

The long-suppressed grievances and pain erupted completely at this moment, like a volcanic eruption.

Bai Jie had already prepared herself to be scorned. Even if Jiang Feng despised her, she would do her utmost to compensate him.

However, what she never expected was that Jiang Feng not only showed no hint of disdain, but his handsome face was instead filled with concern and heartache, caring for her so tenderly.

“Sister Bai Jie, it must have been very difficult for you to be with him, wasn’t it? I saw a bruise on your forearm…”

This brief sentence, for Bai Jie, was like a bright lamp suddenly lit in the darkness, warm and illuminating.

This was a tenderness she had never heard in her past 26 years.

Neither her parents, those two who favored sons over daughters, had ever given her a shred of care, as if she were merely an expendable existence;

Nor her younger brother, that child spoiled by their parents, who only knew how to take from her, never caring whether she lived or died;

Nor Liu Chuanzhi, this so-called husband, that short-tempered man who frequently hit and cursed her, had ever given her any care.

This longed-for care, however, was felt from Jiang Feng, a man she had only known for one day…

This made her feel so moved that her whole body went limp, as if she was instantly enveloped by a warm current that spread from the top of her head all the way to her feet, immersing her entire being in an unprecedented warmth.

But as soon as she thought that it was Liu Chuanzhi who had instructed his subordinates to bully Jiang Feng, she instantly felt so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

She lowered her head, her hands clutching tightly at the hem of her clothes, her fingers turning white from the force, as if this could alleviate the guilt in her heart.

Bai Jie slightly raised her head, secretly glanced at Jiang Feng, and then quickly lowered it again. Her childhood experiences made her feel unworthy.

She felt like a humble speck of dust, unworthy of such wonderful care from Jiang Feng…

“Xiao Feng, you are so good… I don’t deserve you to be so kind to me. I apologize to you on his behalf, I’m sorry!”

Bai Jie’s voice was choked and heavily tearful, every word seeming to be squeezed out with difficulty from the depths of her heart.

Her body trembled slightly, her shoulders heaving with sobs, her graceful curves rising and falling dramatically.

She slightly raised her head, her face covered in crisscrossing tear stains, her lips trembling violently as she tried to force a smile, but the smile was uglier than a cry.

“Xiao Feng, you can do whatever you want… I will do my best to compensate you!”

Bai Jie said urgently, her hands gripping Jiang Feng’s arm tightly.

She silently thought to herself, “I hope Xiao Feng can forgive me. Even if he hits or scolds me, or kicks me out, I will accept it. This is the punishment I deserve…”

Although Bai Jie hated Liu Chuanzhi, she felt that she and Liu Chuanzhi were one entity; his mistakes were her mistakes. This erroneous perception stemmed from the concept of obedience and self-sacrifice that had been instilled in her since childhood!

Bai Jie, who was both insecure and possessed a strong capacity for empathy, actually took on Liu Chuanzhi’s guilt.

Jiang Feng had seen many women shirk responsibility, but this was the first time he had seen someone take on responsibility that didn’t belong to them.

However, Jiang Feng did not rush to make any excessive demands.

Chasing a girl was not just for the superficial; the union of mind and body was equally important.

He was confident that he had the ability to conquer Bai Jie’s mind and body!

Jiang Feng took the opportunity to sit beside Bai Jie, gently embracing her and stroking her back, just like comforting an injured child, and said:

“Sister Bai Jie, don’t think that way. You deserve the best… The disgusting things Liu Chuanzhi, that beast, did are his problem. You have no problem at all. If you’re sad, just cry it out. Your life doesn’t have so many spectators, it’s okay…”

Jiang Feng lowered his head slightly, his chin gently resting on Bai Jie’s head. He could clearly feel Bai Jie’s body trembling.

Bai Jie’s body was very warm and soft, comfortable to hold, like embracing a warm marshmallow.

A body scent, like that of a baby, lingered in his nostrils.

Bai Jie leaned into Jiang Feng’s arms, sobbing softly. That warm and solid embrace made her feel an unprecedented sense of security.

She could clearly feel the rise and fall of Jiang Feng’s chest, hear his steady and powerful heartbeat, and even feel Jiang Feng’s firm abdominal muscles.

Bai Jie’s pretty face instantly flushed crimson. This intimate feeling made her feel at a loss; this was the first time she had such close contact with a man!

She felt both nervous and shy in her heart, secretly thinking, “Being so close to Xiao Feng, it’s so embarrassing, but also so warm. I’ve never felt this way before…”

Liu Chuanzhi, that Yang Wei, had long lost interest in women. After marriage, he had never even touched Bai Jie; they always slept in separate rooms…

Bai Jie subconsciously wanted to get up and leave, but her body seemed to disobey her, unable to exert any strength, like a puddle of mud.

At the same time, a strong masculine hormonal scent entered her nostrils, making her mind go blank and her body experience a strange sensation.

That feeling, tingly and numb, spread from the soles of her feet throughout her entire body, making her tremble slightly…

Soon, Bai Jie’s heart gradually calmed down.

She slightly closed her eyes, tears still flowing uncontrollably, but at this moment, the tears were more ofmove and relief.

She thought to herself, “Xiao Feng’s embrace is so warm, like a safe harbor. How wonderful would it be if I could lean on him like this forever… I seem to have never felt such warmth. Perhaps this is the sense of security and happiness I have always longed for.”

People who lack love spend their lives seeking it but never finding it.

Bai Jie was such a person; from childhood to adulthood, she had never received true love, so she cherished this care especially.

Her body gradually relaxed, no longer as tense as before.

She slightly raised her head and gently rubbed Jiang Feng’s chest with her tear-stained face, like a small animal seeking comfort after being injured.

Her curvaceous figure trembled slightly in Jiang Feng’s arms, her graceful curves gently pressing against Jiang Feng’s chest, rising and falling slightly with her rubbing…

Her slender waist was encircled by Jiang Feng’s arm, soft as a willow branch in the spring breeze.
