Chapter 2357

Baili Xia was actually quite clear in her heart.

If she were powerful and influential in Bei Miao, with enough ability to handle any force.

Then, no matter what identity she appears with, it wouldn’t be a problem.

But the problem now is that here, she has nothing.

Moreover, her return to the Bei Family isn’t for any competition for the position of Clan Leader of the Bei Miao Clan; she’s only returning to see her dad who’s looking for her.

“Who is Wu Ming?” Bei Fengjin suddenly asked again, “Is he also a member of the Mu family?”

He could vaguely guess that the identity behind Wu Ming was definitely not simple.

Unfortunately, the Mr. Bei Fengjin who hasn’t asked about worldly matters for over a decade, even if he knows Wu Ming’s true appearance, he is unaware of his real identity.

“He is someone by my Uncle’s side. Actually, he came to protect me.”

As for the talk of being fired by Mr. Xiaojiu and wanting to follow her, Baili Xia certainly didn’t believe it.

With Wu Ming’s capabilities, he could be someone significant anywhere; following her is definitely a waste of talent.

However, Uncle can indeed do such a thing, making Wu Ming follow her from now on, not worrying about food or drink.

Uncle’s people are very loyal to him; if Uncle lets him follow, he wouldn’t dare to leave.

Should this matter be explained to Uncle at some point?

It’s just that if possible, she… really doesn’t want to have any more contact with him.

Bei Fengjin didn’t say anything, a complex expression flickering in his starry eyes.

After a while, he spoke again: “It’s too late tonight, go back and rest early.”

“I don’t want to leave.” Baili Xia hugged him tightly, unwilling to let go.

“Can I stay here for one night? I don’t want to leave, Dad.”

Bei Fengjin’s heart ached, yet he kept his face cold: “No, come back tomorrow.”

Baili Xia pouted, understanding his concerns, but truly didn’t want to leave.

“Come back tomorrow, be good.” Bei Fengjin patted her head, taking her arm to stand up.

He glanced at the tightly shut room door, speaking lightly, “Come in.”

Wu Ming pushed the door open and entered, this obedient demeanor, Baili Xia hadn’t witnessed from him before.

Wu Ming seemed to have particular respect for Dad, just like respecting the head of his own family.

No, she even suspected, if Wu Ming had a head of the family, would he also respect them like this?

“Girl, I’ll talk to him for a bit, you go out and play.”

Bei Fengjin glanced at Baili Xia, a look indescribably gentle in his eyes.

Baili Xia gave him a resentful look, but Dad’s gaze, that gentle look…

Her little heart couldn’t take it anymore, not leaving would be heartbreaking.

He truly is a lady’s killer, making even his daughter unable to resist!

After Baili Xia left, Bei Fengjin looked at Wu Ming, his expression instantly turning cold.

“Who are you really?”

Wu Ming knew that this question would inevitably be asked one day.

Especially now, Bei Fengjin has recognized his daughter, so all those things he used to not care about, now matter to him.

He chuckled lightly: “I am Mu Xiaojiu, her so-called Uncle.”

This answer didn’t surprise Bei Fengjin.

He was just a little puzzled: “The legendary Mr. Xiaojiu, a man who values every second, yet you have time to play house with my daughter?”

“I have put down all my work, now, I just want to accompany her.”

Baili Xia observed correctly; Wu Ming indeed respects Bei Fengjin.

In fact, he himself doesn’t know why the respect exceeds what he had for Mu Xuri back then.

It’s not only because he’s the girl’s father but also because of that soothing, composed aura he carries.
