Chapter 44: The Calamity of Blood Light

  Ye Anning clenched her teeth, tears swirling in her eyes, the pain in her legs was nothing compared to the agony in her heart. She thought of her poor mother, a woman who had never been acknowledged, even after she was gone, still suffering from verbal abuse. She hated herself for not being able to stand up and slap the person twice at this moment.

  "Didn't we agree to come together? Why didn't anyone wait for me?" A clear and gentle male voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, and the originally noisy crowd inexplicably fell silent. People spontaneously made way for the owner of this voice. Ye Anning felt a shadow looming over her head, and then her ankle felt warm. A pair of thick and rough large hands covered her injured area, checking her wound.

  Ye Anning looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her, his tall and straight body crouched in front of her, holding her ankle without any disgust, his hands moving exceptionally gently. She met his deep and profound gaze, and heard his low, gentle and warm voice, "It's okay, you haven't been hurt again."

  Ye Anning's icy heart was suddenly surrounded by a flame, warming up instantly. Among the group of ferocious and cruel beasts, she seemed to have found her only salvation. She subconsciously grasped his lapel, with tears welling up in her eyes.

  His warm palms wrapped around her cheeks, a gentle kiss fell on her eyelids, his waist tightened, he hugged her waist and helped her up, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, his voice full of helplessness "How can you be so careless, leaving you for a while and being so troublesome, huh?"

  Although it's a scolding tone, everyone can hear the concern in it.

  As for this man who suddenly appeared, everyone was curious about him because they didn't know him, so it was certain that he wasn't a member of the aristocracy in A City. That high-end handmade Armani suit probably wasn't something anyone could afford, and his naturally noble demeanor made it difficult to define his identity at the time.

  "Take a couple of steps and try." Pei Jun wrapped his arms around Ye Anning's slender waist, letting her lean against him as she took a few tentative steps. The previously fractured bones hadn't shifted again, and after he had massaged them earlier, she should be able to walk without any major issues now.

  Ye Anning took a few tentative steps, and her feet didn't hurt as much. She suddenly raised her head, took a big step forward, and slapped Lin Yiai, who was still in a daze, with a loud slap.

  Lin Ai covered her face and shrieked, from childhood to adulthood, no one had ever dared to touch a single hair on her head. She immediately went mad, "Ye Anning, you this illegitimate daughter who can't see the light of day, you this trampler of people, how dare you hit me!"

  Lin Yi was about to slap her, but a strong and powerful arm grasped her wrist at the moment she fell, and with a slight force, she was in so much pain that she couldn't even cry out.

  "This miss, not everyone in this world can touch." Pei Jun stood behind Ye Anning, letting her back lean against his chest, he was like a strong shield for her, completely wrapping the petite her in his arms.

  Lin Yiai grasped her injured wrist, with a fierce gaze at him, "Do you know who I am? What makes you defend this scoundrel? Are you looking for death?"

  "Miss, although I don't know who you are, but judging from your face, it's dark and cloudy, within three days, lightly, you'll suffer financial loss and bankruptcy, heavily, there will be bloodshed, I advise you to be careful."
