Chapter 1066: You Would Have Fallen to Your Death If I Didnt React Fast Enough

But his relief was quickly replaced with anger.

His face darkened in anger as he reprimanded her. Why did you try to pull me back just now? Do you know how dangerous it was?! You would have fallen to your death if I hadnt reacted fast enough, do you know that?

Chi Jiao ran down and happened to see this scene.

Beitang Lie was reprimanding Pei Yao angrily.

Chi Jiao found the scene rather refres.h.i.+ng. Usually, it was the opposite for the two of them. This was the first time she saw Beitang Lie have the guts to reprimand Pei Yao.

Chi Jiao was enjoying the show, but Beitang Lie couldnt suppress the anger in his heart. He believed that if he had reacted just a little slower just now, Pei Yao might have been killed or severely injured. He became even angrier.

On the other hand, Pei Yao kept her head lowered and did not make a sound. She didnt even look at him. She looked like a dejected child who had made a mistake.

Beitang Lie was not so easily swayed. He asked fiercely, Why arent you saying anything? Do you know your mistake?

Chi Jiao quickly came over to persuade him. Why are you so fierce? Youre scaring Sister Yaoyao.

She knows fear now? Why didnt she seem afraid when she pulled me back just now? Pei Yao, think about it. I will feel guilty for the rest of my life if anything happens to you, hmm? Beitang Lie was so angry that his face was flushed. He had to make Pei Yao remember this lesson. However, she started sobbing just as he was about to continue.

Her sobs caused Beitang Lies fierce expression to freeze. He looked at her in disbelief.

Chi Jiao also stared at Pei Yao. Her shoulders were trembling. She was really crying hard.

No, dont cry. Im just worried about you Boss, Boss, save me! Beitang Lie was as helpless as he was fierce earlier. He looked at Chi Jiao pleadingly, begging for help!

Unfortunately, Chi Jiao couldnt help him. She chose to ignore his plea for help and silently looked away.

Beitang Lie almost broke down. There was nothing he could do. He could lift Pei Yaos chin and wipe her tears with his sleeve. Why are you crying? We almost caught the murderer, but he ran away just like that. Im the one who should be crying, alright?

The murderer jumped off the building and you just followed? Thats the sixth floor. How dare you jump just like that?! Pei Yao sniffed and glared at him.

Beitang Lie felt that something was wrong. Wasnt this what he had just scolded Pei Yao for? Why was he the one being scolded now?

Beitang Lie looked helpless. He was no match for Pei Yaos tears and could only do his best to comfort her. My superpower is invincible scales. Ill only suffer minor injuries even if I jump from the sixth floor. It wont be a problem. Havent I always been like this in the past? Its not the first time youve seen me jump off a building

Thats different. The past is the past, and the present is the present. Pei Yao sniffed aggrievedly.

Beitang Lie wanted to dig deeper. How is it different?

Its just different! Its different if I say its different. Are you still trying to aggravate me? Pei Yao widened her teary eyes at him.

Beitang Lie immediately surrendered when he heard this. Okay, okay. Its different if you say its different. I wont do it anymore in the future, alright?
