Dong Gege's palm turned red from the slap, but there wasn't much else to it.
After finishing, Xiao Wei turned around and reported to Jian Shichu, "Young Master, it's done."
"Mm," Jian Shichu nodded slightly, then looked at Dong Gege and Huaqing. "Do you hate me?"
Dong Gege froze for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't hate you."
"Why not?" Jian Shichu smirked faintly and raised an eyebrow, watching him. "Both of you said you didn't break the Jade Ruyi, and yet, I punished you anyway. It's very likely I wronged you. Don't you hate me?"
"I don't hate you," Dong Gege's dark and clear eyes stared straight at Jian Shichu as he answered seriously. "You saved our lives. You're our savior. Without you, we would one day die from endless humiliation and torment. You saved us, so no matter what you do to us, we don't have the right to blame you."
Jian Shichu smiled faintly and turned to Huaqing. "What about you?"
