Chapter 2358

Bei Fengjin’s deep gaze fell on Wu Ming, reassessing this man.

From the beginning, he knew that Wu Ming had another identity, and he could sense the man’s affection and protection for his daughter.

However, there always seemed to be an indelible gloom surrounding his daughter, and he couldn’t tell if it was related to him.

Uncle… Every time Xiaxia mentioned this person, her expression always seemed a little darker.

The two have feelings for each other, so why can’t they be together openly?

Besides, he is Mr. Xiaojiu; how long can this game of playing house last with his daughter?

Wu Ming retracted his smile and, looking at Bei Fengjin, for once became serious and sincere.

“My feelings for Xiaxia are just like your feelings for Bei Qingyou. I don’t ask for your blessing, just your belief.”

Bei Fengjin’s heart trembled, and when he looked at him again, his gaze involuntarily changed.

Just like his feelings for You’er… Those words carried such weight!

He remained silent, and Wu Ming didn’t say anything further.

After an unknown period of silence, Bei Fengjin waved his hand slightly, “Take good care of her.”

With just that phrase “Take good care of her,” it was clear that this elder fully accepted him.

Wu Ming hadn’t realized that he had been genuinely nervous just now.

Even if Bei Fengjin had opposed, it wouldn’t have stopped his determination to be with the girl.

However, the girl loved her father so much; he couldn’t bear to break her heart even a little bit and didn’t want Bei Fengjin to be in a difficult position.

His agreement was the most perfect outcome.

“I… will definitely take good care of her.”

Nodding seriously to Bei Fengjin, Wu Ming then turned and left.

…

Leaving Jin Ye Pavilion, returning to Bi Luo Pavilion.

Baili Xia still felt reluctant, frequently looking back towards the Jin Ye Pavilion courtyard on her way out.

Finally making it back to the west wing of Bi Luo Pavilion, in Baili Xia’s room, she still felt somewhat absent-minded.

Finally reunited with her father, yet she couldn’t be by his side all the time.

She really wished that she could start living by his side now and stay with her father every day.

Why did it take so long to have a father?

If her father had been by her side since she was very little, how happy would she have been?

She could tell her classmates everywhere, “I have a very handsome, the most handsome father in the world.”

Her father was really handsome, so young, so charming…

“You’ll see him again tomorrow, so why sigh?” Wu Ming walked to the corner and retrieved a bathrobe from his suitcase.

“What do you know?” Baili Xia glanced at him resentfully.

Wu Ming didn’t speak; he didn’t understand since he never had a father growing up.

However, when he saw Baili Xia hugging Bei Fengjin and calling him “Dad” earlier, his heart was indeed moved.

Dad… He didn’t know what it felt like to have a father.

Shaking his head, brushing away those meaningless thoughts, he took the bathrobe and was about to enter the bathroom.

Baili Xia, with keen eyes, noticed his movement and immediately stood up, blocking his way.

“Wait, are you going to take a shower here?”

“What else? If you don’t mind the dirtiness, that’s fine by me.”

“No way, tonight… you go to Brother’s place.”

No matter if he had to stay here in the future, she couldn’t let him sleep in her room.

“I am your personal bodyguard; do you know what a personal bodyguard means?”

Wu Ming took a step forward, and Baili Xia immediately retreated, avoiding him.

If she didn’t avoid him, he really would be “personal”!

“You…”

“What’s the rush? I’ll come out after I finish showering to serve you.”
