Yu Jinzhi gritted her teeth and clenched her fists at her side, tightening them even more.

"I really don't mean to run away this time." Yu Jinzhi explained again.

Xie Yuxiu did not answer her question. Yu Jinzhi was a little flustered. She sat up from the bed: "I really didn't. Daddy is injured. I won't run away..." She seemed afraid that Xie Yuxiu would not believe it.

But Xie Yuxiu knew in her heart that Yu Jinzhi had always wanted to explain to her because he was afraid that he would do something to her or her father.

Yu Jinzhi was indeed afraid, after all, she knew best what Xie Yuxiu was like in the past. But this time, he did not pursue the matter immediately, contrary to his usual behavior. She was afraid that Xie Yuxiu might have come up with other ways to deal with her.

Yu Jinzhi got off the bed, walked to Xie Yuxiu's back, stopped, and knelt down. Xie Yuxiu noticed the movement behind him, and he finally turned around.

As a result, he saw Yu Jinzhi looking up at him, with caution in her eyes.

"I don't dare anymore...I really don't dare anymore..." She met Xie Yuxiu's deep eyes, and her whole body was filled with fear from the inside out.

Xie Yuxiu stared at her without saying anything, but it was because of his silence that Yu Jinzhi felt more and more uneasy.

Just when Yu Jinzhi was about to give up, Xie Yuxiu squatted down in front of her, and Yu Jinzhi's heart began to beat wildly.

"Yu Jinzhi, do you still remember what I told you?" He spoke softly with a slightly oppressive and warning tone.

Xie Yuxiu curled his fingers slightly and placed them on her face: "As long as you are obedient, as long as you stay by my side and don't have anyone else in your eyes, I promise that you and your father will be safe. Otherwise..." He lifted Yu Jinzhi's chin: "You know my methods."

Yu Jinzhi was so frightened that she was trembling all over, but she still nodded vigorously: "I know... I won't run, I won't run..."

Seeing this, Xie Yuxiu slowly let go of her, then lifted her arm and helped her up. Yu Jinzhi didn't dare to hesitate, let alone say a word.

But she knew in her heart that today's incident should be over, and he would not pursue it further. This also made her feel a rare sense of relief.

Xie Yuxiu's gaze fell on her bare feet. Although the floor was covered with a velvet carpet, it was still very uncomfortable to walk barefoot.

He calmly pulled Yu Jinzhi back to the bed and said, "If you run around barefoot again next time, I'll beat you to pieces."

Yu Jinzhi's heart tightened: "I don't dare anymore..."

Xie Yuxiu didn't say anything. In fact, he just wanted to scare Yu Jinzhi. She was afraid of him now, so he would scare her. This would make her more obedient for the time being.

He was also afraid, afraid that Yu Jinzhi would be like in the previous life, and afraid that he had really pushed her too hard. So he was willing to restrain himself, but this restraint was now limited to the punishments he had for her...

"Take a rest." Xie Yuxiu said no more. He had already said everything he needed to say.

Yu Jinzhi lay down obediently under his action. Xie Yuxiu was about to turn off the light, and his action once again made Yu Jinzhi's heart tense. She was afraid of the dark, so the room was never completely dark.

But she didn't dare to say it. Seeing that Xie Yuxiu was about to extinguish all the candles, her breathing became more and more rapid.

"Don't..." She spoke in a trembling voice.
