After being abandoned by my parents, I became a top boss

He raised his hand, wanting to pat her back to comfort her, but then he felt it was inappropriate, so he took it back.

At this moment, he wished very much that Lin Qiutang and the others were here, so that at least there would be someone who could hold her in his arms and comfort her with the most gentle voice.

He could do nothing but comfort her with words, not even physical contact like patting her on the back.

"Don't be afraid, it's all over. You are safe now, and no one can hurt you anymore."

The girl raised her wet eyes and looked at him, as if trying to discern the truth in his words.

Li Chen hesitated again and again, but still raised his hand and placed it on the top of her head. His eyes were like stars, shining brightly. He said with certainty, "Really, believe me."

The girl nodded.

Li Chen withdrew his hand, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Okay, go to sleep, I'm not going anywhere tonight, I'll stay here to watch over you, there won't be any bad guys, you can sleep peacefully."

His words seemed to have magical power, and the girl actually believed them, as if she would be safe as long as he was there.

She slowly lay down, covered herself with the quilt and closed her eyes.

Li Chen sat on the floor beside the bed for a long time until he heard her even breathing, then he stood up with the help of the bedside table. His feet were already numb.

For fear of waking her up, he could only endure the numbness in his legs and walked carefully into the bathroom.

The bathroom is surrounded by glass doors, so you can see everything in the room clearly.

He found a place to sit down, gently stretched his legs, and then looked at the little girl on the bed.

That night, the girl lay asleep in bed, while he sat on the bathroom floor, guarding her all night.

She stopped crying, so maybe she didn't have that nightmare again?

The next morning, when the girl woke up, the first thing she saw was Li Chen sleeping in the bathroom. He really stayed with her all night and he did not lie to her.

Somewhere in my heart was slightly touched, and the feeling of being wrapped in warmth was very comfortable.

As if he felt her gaze, and he was not sleeping comfortably in that position, Li Chen opened his eyes drowsily, and saw that she was staring at him, but he didn't care.

Rubbing his sore neck, he tried to stand up, but just as his hips left the ground, he fell to the ground again because of his numb legs.

The girl was startled and quickly threw off the quilt. She didn't even bother to put on her shoes and ran into the bathroom barefoot.

She looked at Li Chen and wanted to reach out to help him, but he refused, "No, I can do it."

As he spoke, he grabbed the shower pipe beside him and stood up. Seeing the self-blame and worry in the girl's eyes, he smiled and comforted her: "I'm fine, don't worry."

The girl looked at him and pointed to the bed.

Li Chen immediately understood what she meant. She wanted him to go to bed and rest for a while.

He smiled, "I'm not tired, I don't need to rest."

After saying that, his eyes fell on her feet and his brows furrowed slightly, "No shoes?"

The girl seemed to realize this just now, and immediately shook her head, turned and walked out of the bathroom.

After the girl put on her shoes, Li Chen had already washed up.

He sat down on the sofa in the room, adjusting the cufflinks on his hands, and said, "Go wash up first, I'll take you downstairs to eat something, and then we'll go to the mall to buy some clothes, and then we'll set off."

The girl nodded, thought about it, and said, "Okay."

Li Chen paused and looked up at her. His deep eyes seemed to contain countless words.

The girl felt uncomfortable with the look and quickly ran to the bathroom.

Li Chen smiled. She was indeed much better now than when they first met.

Seeing her getting better little by little, he was happy too.

They had breakfast at the B&B, and Li Chen took her to the mall. The girl seemed a little embarrassed and uncomfortable. She looked at the beautiful skirts in the mall. She obviously liked them very much, but she didn't even dare to reach out and touch them.

Li Chen saw what she was thinking and took off the skirt on his own initiative. "Do you like this dress? Or this one..."

As he spoke, he reached out to take another one. After comparing the two, he said, "Both look good to me. Do you want to try them on? Or we can take both and you can pick out some other styles you like and we can take them all away?"

Unexpectedly, the girl shook her head, turned aside, and picked out the simplest clothes.

"You want this one?" Li Chen asked uncertainly.

The girl nodded.

The salesperson at the side smiled and said, "This color is too plain and doesn't suit you. The two dresses I just picked are very pretty. As a little girl, you should wear something more lively."

As she spoke, she stepped forward to take the clothes from her hand, and then took out another skirt and handed it to her, "Why don't you try this one, it will definitely look good on you?"

She reached out to touch her shoulder, but the girl took a step back, avoiding her hand.

The salesperson smiled awkwardly, "It's understandable that children are shy. I won't touch you, so why don't you try on this skirt?"

The girl ran towards Li Chen, took his hand, looked up at him with grievance in her eyes, and shook her head. Li Chen instantly understood what she meant.

He hung the two skirts in his hands back up and said, "Then let's go look at other places, okay?"

The girl nodded.

Li Chen held her hand and left the clothing store. He didn't let go of her hand until they turned the corner and the clothing store disappeared behind them. He let go of her, squatted down, and said in an extremely serious tone: "Actually, you like those two skirts very much, right?"

The girl didn't say anything, she just pursed her lips and lowered her head, which was considered as her agreement.

Li Chen was not angry, but rather had a look of heartache in his eyes, "I know why you don't want to choose a skirt, but instead pick some simple clothes."

Hearing this, the girl looked up at him with complicated eyes.

She didn't know how to react, but she was very clear about one thing: Li Chen's next words would definitely reveal the fig leaf that she had hidden for so long.

Meeting her gaze, Li Chen repeatedly organized his words in his mind, but still didn't know how to start.

Is he going to tell an eleven-year-old child that it was because of those shameful activities, because beautiful girls would be taken by the devil for sexual transactions?

Therefore, she could not wear pretty dresses and could only hide herself endlessly, paint her skin dark, wear ragged clothes, could not take a bath, and it would be best if she could smell the peculiar smell emanating from her body from a long distance.

Because this way you can better protect yourself.

Thinking of this, his heart ached and his eyes turned slightly red. He looked at the girl in front of him. She was really amazing.

In such a den of evil, she was able to survive, survive intact, and not be violated. She is indeed more amazing than most people.

The girl looked at his gradually reddening eyes, raised her hand to touch the corners of his eyes, and gently traced them.

She didn't understand. She was the one who was going to be exposed, so why was Li Chen crying?

"Don't cry." She thought for a long time, not knowing what to say to comfort him, and the only two words that came out of her mouth were:

Li Chen held her hand that was resting on the corner of his eyes for a long while before he finally spoke, "I'm sorry, girl, I shouldn't have said such things."

The girl didn't expect that the first thing he said was an apology. There was a flash of surprise in her eyes, and then she became a little confused. Why was he apologizing to her?

Seeing that she was puzzled, Li Chen continued: "You don't need to understand, you just need to know that from now on, you can wear whatever you want and be bold to be yourself, because no one can hurt you anymore."

Every word he spoke was firm and resolute.
