Lu Fan walked over and gently stroked her hair. "Let's go," he said softly.
Jiang Silu looked up at him, and fresh tears started to fall.
She threw herself into his arms, burying her face in his chest. Her voice was muffled and thick with tears as she said, "Dad, thank you."
Lu Fan patted her back, his voice as gentle as if he were soothing a small child. "Silly girl, there's no need to thank your dad. I'm sorry you had to go through that."
Jiang Silu lifted her head from his chest, her eyes and the tip of her nose flushed red. She shook her head vigorously. "But Dad, you didn't do anything wrong. Why are you apologizing?"
Lu Fan looked at her and said earnestly, "I promised you both I wouldn't let you be wronged again. Today, you were wronged, and that means I failed to keep my promise."
Tears welled up in Jiang Silu's eyes again. She buried her face in his chest and cried for a long time.
