Li Cheng felt a sharp pain in his heart it felt as though someone was clutching his heart.
Gritting his teeth, He asked in a low voice " Xiao Seulbi, What should i do so that you will forgive me ? "
" Can you do anything i say? Really? For me to forgive you.I mean anything."Li Seulbi said as she raised her brows slightly.
Li Cheng hesitated. ' Will she ask for the family inheritance and ask me to kick out my other kids and Tang Fian out of the family..Or Will she-'
Before he could continue his thoughts, He heard the girl in front of him laughing out loud.
" Hahaha, Mr.Li Your thoughts are really going wild." Li Seulbi clutched her stomach as she continued to laugh but secretly she wiped her tears of disappointment .
Her voice contained a sense of mockery in them. Li Cheng was dumbfounded . He thought as his brows knitted together ' Can she read minds?'
" No! " Li Seulbi spoke instantly making Li Cheng stunned again. " I can't read minds. It's your face Mr.Li that is showing me all your thoughts. And Mr.Li Do you know that you know me so little?..You really thought i will ask for the family inheritance or kick my siblings out or something bad, right?"
Li Cheng's face became red. He was so embarrassed. "Don't worry i am not like that. Though they are so irritating, but still we are a family. We live together. Though they hate me, But i don't hate them nor i like them. I just don't feel any emotions towards them. I will ask for you to stay and behave as usual.."
".. I have already forgiven you and i will call you 'Father' as usual. Li Ruan and Li Ri already call me ugly duckling..I don't wanna make them call me ' Father snatcher'..So Father ,please don't repeat those same mistakes."
After saying that, Li Seulbi headed for the door. Just when she was about to open the door, the door was opened from outside. Li Seulbi took few steps back.
The person who opened the door was Su Yumi. Su Yumi's one hand was carrying a tray with breakfast and other was placed in the door's knob. Su Yumi grabbed Li Seulbi's hand " Xiao Seulbi, Let's head back to your room."
Then both went to Li Seulbi's room. Li Cheng was left alone in the room. After finishing the kitchen chores, Tang Fian returned to the room. But The door was already wide opened.
When she entered the room, She noticed there was awkward atmosphere in the room. Li Cheng was showing her his back, so she couldn't see his face.
In Li Seulbi's room;
Su Yumi placed the breakfast in the chair and sat beside Li Seulbi in the bed.
She said as she caressed Li Seulbi's head "Darling, It's okay. No one here. You don't have to act tough now."
As soon as Li Seulbi heard those words, Her heart melted like a candle. She hugged Su Yumi and burst into tears. Su Yumi patted her back "Child, Seeing you like this aches my heart.."
After crying her heart out for so long, Li Seulbi heart finally became calm again. She looked at Su Yumi with her puffy eyes "Yumi, Was what i did right? Talking to him like that was little rude, right?"
Su Yumi smiled . She shook her head as she wiped her tears. " No not rude. He deserved it. He was the one who was rude first. So don't blame yourself."
Li Seulbi hugged her again " The thing i said to him today was eally my true feelings. Where was he when i needed him the most?..Now, he suddenly approaches me feeling guilty when he does't know anything about me. I will never forgive him."
