Chapter 2570

This girl… Bei Fengjin was really at a loss.

“So eloquent, who taught you?”

“I have a natural talent, self-taught.” Baili Xia giggled.

Bei Fengjin ignored her, carefully tending to the wounds on her back.

Actually, throughout the journey, Baili Xia gritted her teeth, preventing herself from crying out in pain.

If she screamed, her father would be distressed and blame himself for not taking good care of her.

Baili Xia always understood her father’s feelings.

But she didn’t realize that the less she cried out, the more it pained Bei Fengjin’s heart.

Because her resilience showed him how mature she was.

After dressing her again, Bei Fengjin put the medicine down.

Before he could say anything, the little girl had already turned around and lay on his lap.

“Dad, can you find me a new mom?”

She whispered, her voice very, very small, afraid he’d be angry.

But she couldn’t bear to see him live like this forever alone.

Loneliness is truly terrifying.

He’s been lonely for over ten years, he shouldn’t remain this solitary.

“No.” Bei Fengjin’s words weren’t said out of anger or as a joke.

They were plain and definitive, as if determined.

“Unless your mom returns, otherwise, there will never be a second woman by dad’s side for life.”

Baili Xia’s heart trembled, she lay on his lap, closed her eyes, and said nothing more.

For some people, promises once made last a lifetime.

Unexpectedly, when Baili Xia didn’t speak, Bei Fengjin opened his mouth instead.

“Why does Nangong Yun want to kill you?”

Baili Xia was startled, her eyes widened suddenly, she looked up at him.

He… actually asked the crux of the problem in one go.

Even dad knows, the whole matter is because Nangong Yun wants to get rid of her?

“What grudges do you have with her?” Bei Fengjin asked again.

His voice was always calm, with a habitual coldness in his indifference.

Luckily, in front of this girl, there was always an extra warmth and softness.

Baili Xia knew that no matter how much she wanted to hide at this time, she probably couldn’t anymore.

She pouted helplessly: “Earlier at the Mu family, the grudge was already formed, she…”

After a moment’s contemplation, she continued: “She likes Uncle, and Uncle… was with me at that time.”

Bei Fengjin didn’t speak, just his large palm on her head, gently rubbing it.

Baili Xia also lay back on his lap, closing her eyes.

“Women, their minds are always a bit small, the matter back then was a prelude.”

“Coupled with subsequently, new and old grudges kept occurring, it’s not surprising she wants to get rid of me.”

“So was the incident at Youyang Pavilion with Bei Zicheng almost acting impulsively also arranged by you?”

Bei Fengjin still rubbed her little head, his voice as calm as ever.

Baili Xia wasn’t curious why he knew these things.

Other matters, he might not pay attention to.

But, incidents at Youyang Pavilion, it’s unsurprising he knows.

“She first wanted to harm me, planning to drug me and Wu Ming, so Old Madam would catch us in the act.”

“Wu Ming saw through the matter in advance, so he used it against them, and along with Guisu, let them…”

There’s no need to explain further, he already knows.

After a moment of silence, Bei Fengjin suddenly asked: “Do you still want to return to Mu Xiaojiu?”

Baili Xia was startled, somewhere in her heart, upon hearing “Mu Xiaojiu”, was faintly aching.

Go back? No, there’s no going back.

She shook her head, forced a helpless smile.

“There’s no road to return.”
