The expression on his baby girl's face made Jin Liwei feel helpless. He was still a bit pissed off at her, but his heart was already softening. Sighing, he pushed himself up to a sitting position so that they were facing each other.
"Maybe…I've become stressed out without me realizing it due to my heavy workload lately," she said while rubbing her cheek against his hand. "Believe me. I really didn't mean to…to snap at you like that. I would never deliberately treat you badly like that."
His thumb caressed her cheek, causing a tentative smile to lift the corner of her lips. Seeing that he still didn't speak, her smile fell.
"Are you still angry at me?" she asked.
"A bit." Honesty was the best policy.
She pouted, making her look so adorable that he almost leaned forward to kiss her. Almost. His remaining bad temper restrained him from giving in to her so soon.
