Chapter 12: Chapter 12 You killed Little Hua!

"Little Hua! Are you okay, don’t scare me." Seeing Little Hua on the ground, Xiao Manxuan thought she had been killed by Lin Tian, and her face turned pale with shock. She squatted down and shook Little Hua, with mist forming in her eyes and tears about to fall.

After a few shakes, Little Hua still didn’t wake up. Xiao Manxuan stood up with a whoosh and lunged at Lin Tian, scratching and screaming at him.

"You big bully, you killed Little Hua, I will bite you to death!" After she spoke, she bit down on Lin Tian’s arm.

These scratches and bites were nothing more than a tickle to Lin Tian, and he caught Xiao Manxuan’s flailing hands helplessly, said, "Second Miss, your Little Hua isn’t dead yet."

But the emotionally charged Xiao Manxuan wasn’t listening to Lin Tian’s words and kept fiercely biting him without letting go. Lin Tian had no choice but to grasp her hands, twist them behind her back, and then lifted the little girl off the ground with a strong pull of his arm.

Once her feet were off the ground, Xiao Manxuan still didn’t settle down, kicking fiercely. Lin Tian pressed a point on her foot to numb it, with the intention of keeping her from moving around. Xiao Manxuan felt her feet go numb and then realized she was completely at the mercy of Lin Tian, unable to move her hands or feet.

"Bully, what are you trying to do? Let me go." Xiao Manxuan struggled a few times but couldn’t break free from Lin Tian’s grasp, trapped as though in iron pincers. She threatened with a hint of desperation, "Big bully, don’t mess around, my sister is really fierce, and she will beat you up."

Lin Tian held up Xiao Manxuan like this, the two of them too close, which seemed somewhat inappropriate as she was just a little girl, a bit like bullying. But then he looked at his tattered pant leg and felt annoyed—she was no little girl, more like a little devil.

In a compromised position, Xiao Manxuan felt somewhat intimidated under Lin Tian’s domineering pressure. She wondered if she had thrown herself into the lion’s den and stammered out, "Bully, you, you let me go this instant, wah, you killed Little Hua, and now you’re bullying me, I’ll tell my sister to beat you up."

As she spoke, tears fell from Xiao Manxuan’s eyes, making a pitiful scene. Lin Tian somewhat softened but then caught a glimpse of a sly glint flash in her eyes.

So she was pretending to be pitiful, quite a crafty little girl, Lin Tian thought with a humph, and increased his hold on her, restraining her even tighter.

"Cough, cough..." Xiao Manxuan couldn’t withstand Lin Tian’s added force and struggled to breathe, coughing a few times. Seeing her plan foiled, she cursed, "You thief! Big bully! Let me go if you dare, and we can fight again. I’m not afraid of you."

The little girl was stubborn, still desperately struggling despite being under Lin Tian’s control. Afraid of using too much strength and injuring her, Lin Tian tried to calm her down, "Can you be quiet and listen to my explanation? Your Little Hua isn’t dead."

"You big bully, you’re lying to me, I don’t believe you, big bully, I’ll bite you." And with that, she bit Lin Tian’s shoulder. Lin Tian got frustrated, with the young one being so temperamental and not giving even a moment’s peace.

Frustrated, Lin Tian slapped Xiao Manxuan on the buttocks, and with a "slap", both were stunned. Lin Tian was worried he hadn’t controlled his strength and that he could get into trouble if he had hurt her seriously, while Xiao Manxuan couldn’t believe a bodyguard dared to hit his employer.

"Ah, the bully is hitting people, help!" After snapping out of her daze, Xiao Manxuan wasn’t frightened but rather saw an opportunity. She quickly pretended to shout for help. Once her family caught the bodyguard red-handed, she could rightfully punish this audacious bodyguard.

"Go ahead, shout. Even if you scream your throat hoarse, no one will come to save you. You locked the door, the house is soundproof, and you scared away all the servants just now. Hmph, you’ve brought this on yourself. It seems you’re usually not disciplined, spoiled rotten. Today I’m going to take the place of your mother and sister to teach you a lesson."

Lin Tian, having been an orphan from a poor family since he was young, took charge of his household early on and couldn’t stand to see these spoiled heiresses throwing their temper around. After saying this, he slapped her again, although not with much force, but Xiao Manxuan dramatically cried out loud.

"Do you always love to ride horses instead of studying, and bully the servants at home? Have you made life difficult for your own bodyguards before? Hmm, today I’m going to teach you a lesson, to let you know that you can’t bully the servants at will." With each issue Lin Tian raised, he slapped her once more, and even increased the force.

It was meant to make her feel pain without actually harming her. Xiao Manxuan initially thought Lin Tian was just putting on an act and wouldn’t really hit hard, but the slaps were getting progressively heavier, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

"I didn’t bully the servants; you’re framing me, I didn’t." Xiao Manxuan yelled out somewhat angrily, as if she were indeed being wrongfully accused.

"Then why do they all run away scared when you give them a fierce look?" Seeing her denial, Lin Tian hit her again.

"It’s because they are afraid of my Little Hua. I’m alone at home with no one to accompany me, so I asked them to join me for horseback riding. When they were unwilling, I used Little Hua to scare them a little. It was just a scare, not a real bite. How was I to know they’d be so frightened?" Xiao Manxuan explained with a sense of grievance.

How could the female servants possibly know how to ride horses? Yet she used a Tibetan Mastiff to intimidate them, indeed a ludicrous idea. Even men skilled in martial arts would fear such a large Tibetan Mastiff, let alone the women who were scared of even mice.

"Fine, let’s not talk about that. Why are you giving me a hard time, not letting me be your bodyguard? Did you also make things difficult for your bodyguards before? They risk their lives to keep you safe; how can you take this as a joke?" Lin Tian recalled that the little girl seemed to be particularly resistant to bodyguards, so he asked.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Manxuan fell silent, pursed her lips, and said nothing. Lin Tian thought she was up to some scheme and raised his hand to hit her again.

"Even if you hit me, I won’t tell you, I won’t say anything!" Xiao Manxuan stubbornly turned her head away, appearing indifferent to the beating.

"Oh, quite a tough mouth you have there." Lin Tian raised his hand as if to hit her, but before the slap landed, the little girl shuddered all over.

After waiting for a long time without feeling the slap, Xiao Manxuan looked back at Lin Tian curiously and saw his face close to hers, causing her own face to turn a bit red. Her buttocks had been slapped many times, and the pain was scorching, but inside Xiao Manxuan, a strange feeling arose, leaving her feeling both ashamed and angry.

Caught between shame and rage, she didn’t know what to do, and her tears began falling like pearls off a broken string. Soon she was crying more fiercely, and her tears soaked through Lin Tian’s shoulder.

"Second Miss, I didn’t even deliver that last slap; there’s no need to cry like this." Lin Tian saw she wasn’t pretending this time as she cried intensely, suddenly feeling a bit overwhelmed.

"You’ve bullied me enough, not allowing me even a cry," Xiao Manxuan spoke through her tears, looking like a pear blossom bathed in rain, endearing and pitiful.

The little girl’s thoughts jumped all over the place, leaving Lin Tian completely unable to keep up. Just moments ago, she had been as stubborn as a mule; now, she was crying her heart out. Lin Tian thought he had taught her enough of a lesson and said to her, "Alright, I’ll let you down, but you need to behave and stop being so spoiled and capricious, understand?"

"Where have I been spoiled..." Xiao Manxuan muttered under her breath, but catching Lin Tian’s fierce glare, she promptly closed her mouth. Lin Tian then nodded in satisfaction and let her down to the ground.
