Back to the yard she used to live in, Bai Aoxue was a little bit upset.
She had lived in this yard for 15 years, and she had emotion with this yard, where she left laughter in, though in a short period, she couldn’t forget.
Thinking of this, Bai Aoxue shook her head lightly, as if she could shake off the upset feeling. She was not the Bai Aoxue back then, so she didn’t have the same emotions as before.
It was not necessary to be nostalgic, to cherish the memory of before. She needed to create what she wanted to own. There was no need to envy others.
She walked into the room, where no one lived in for a long time, and there was already a layer of dust accumulated.
Bai Aoxue wiped the table with her slim fingers.
She smiled in sarcasm. Bai Qiwei was just such a person who never knew how to present a superficial brilliance.
Only when he needed you, could he realize the existence of you.
So…I was useful for him now, and this was why Bai Qiwei wanted to see me urgently. Thinking of this, her eyes shot out cold light.
Mumian was very angry when she saw the room hadn’t been dusted.
“Miss! We were glad to be back! But look at this dust! How long has the room not been dusted! I am sure no one has ever dusted the room since we left.” Mumian said angrily, who held prejudice against Bai Qiwei.
Wenxi and Hongxiu agreed with Mumian.
Wenxi took out her handkerchief to wipe the table and chair to let Bai Aoxue sit down.
Zhao guarded aside with a sense of commitment. Looking at the condition of the room, his eye sight was less cold. But when he noticed that Bai Aoxue didn’t mind, he became less worried.
His master, Jun Yeyan, had told him that the Princess was cold and indifferent on the surface, but she was really sensitive. He worried that the Princess would be disappointed when she saw such a mess. Now he knew that he didn’t need to worry about that.
Zhao recalled that last time he came to the mansion with his master, Jun Yeyan, Bai Qiwei had seen him once. But now his master hadn’t revealed the real identity to Bai Aoxue, so he could not reveal himself, either.
“Princess, I will guard you in the dark. You can summon me whenever you need me.” Zhao stepped up to Bai Aoxue and said politely.
Bai Aoxue was not suspicious about Zhao. Zhao was a shadow guard, maybe he didn’t like to appear in public.
Thinking of this, Bai Aoxue nodded, “OK. I think Bai Qiwei has something to tell me. If you are here, he may not want to talk.”
Zhao nodded and then jumped lightly, so he disappeared.
Mumian and Hongxiu were shocked. They looked for Zhao everywhere, but they failed. Zhao would not leave a trace to them.
Bai Aoxue lowered her eyes and pondered over the aim of Bai Qiwei wanting to see her. She was sure it must have something to do with Jun Wuhen. Thinking of Jun Wuhen, Bai Aoxue clenched her fist tightly.
Some day! Some day in the future…
When Bai Aoxue was pondering, there came sound of quick footsteps. Bai Aoxue readjusted her emotion and closed her eyes, pretending having a rest.
“Aoxue!” The voice came before its owner.
Bai Qiwei learned that Bai Aoxue was back to the mansion, so he didn’t have time to change his official outfit and came straight to Bai Aoxue’s yard.
Bai Aoxue didn’t reply, but opened her eyes slowly.
Bai Qiwei was full of fake surprise when he saw Bai Aoxue.
“Aoxue, you finally come back. Who don’t you come back to visit me since you married. I am lonely in this huge mansion. I miss you.” Bai Qiwei ignored Bai Aoxue’s disgusting eye sight, and said sadly to Bai Aoxue.
Bai Aoxue knocked the sandalwood table with her fingers, but didn’t say anything.
“Having been through so much, I have thought a lot. I am sorry I let your mother down and I let you down. I abandoned you so many years. I caused you so much suffering. I am not a responsible father.” Bai Qiwei said to Bai Aoxue sadly, didn’t care whether she would reply or not.
“Now I understand. I know it is ridiculous to make up for you. All I want is you can call me dad.” Bai Qiwei paused a second and continued to speak sadly.
Bai Qiwei was simmered in sorrow. Bai Aoxue would have been cheated by him if she didn’t know his real nature. Right now, Bai Qiwei was genuinely a person who recognized his fault.
But Bai Aoxue was not easy to cheat. She lifted her eyebrows, put sarcasm on her lips and her eyes were cold.
“Maybe a few months ago, if you said so, I would be moved to cry. But now you still think I am that silly and naive to believe you?” Bai Aoxue said slowly with her fingers knocking the table.
Bai Qiwei was dumb for a while which was not easy to be noticed.
“Aoxue…what do you mean? Don’t you believe your father?” Bai Qiwei said to Bai Aoxue sadly, which covered his embarrassment just now.
Bai Aoxue curled her lips and smiled, “I have never believed you, let alone trust. Now tell me the aim of seeing me here. If you keep on acting and faking, then we have nothing to talk about.”
Bai Qiwei didn’t expect Bai Aoxue go straight to the aim of seeing her.
He smiled awkwardly, “Aoxue…what are you talking about? I don’t understand. I am your father. I did something wrong with you. Now I just hope you can forgive me.”
Bai Qiwei continued acting and faking. Bai Aoxue smiled coldly, “It is not impossible to forgive you. You announce in the most crowded place in the empire’s capital that you left Su Qianqian mother and daughter bully me; you knew Bai Suxue hired someone to assassinate me, you did nothing; you married me to the Fifth Prince, who is ugly and unknowledgeable, only to satisfy your own interest; you left your men attack me! If you admit all of these things in public, I will forgive you.”
Bai Qiwei didn’t assume Bai Aoxue would list out all the events. His facial expression was awkward and ridiculous.
Bai Aoxue continued, “You think I can forget all these events? You are not the one who suffered; you certainly couldn’t feel my feeling. So stop being hypocrisy. What makes me sick is your hypocrisy!”
Bai Qiwei was embarrassed by Bai Aoxue’s words. Thank god they were in the mansion, so nobody would see his embarrassment.
“If this is not enough, I can list more about your torture to me and how much you have owed to my mother.” Bai Aoxue said coldly, but there seemed to be a fire in her chest, if she didn’t burst out she would be burned.
Bai Aoxue knew even if her soul left her body, her hatred would not fade easily.
The room became quieter, as if it had always been so quiet.
Bai Qiwei took a deep breath with his cunning eyes staring at Bai Aoxue.
“Haha…you are really like Ye Wanqing, especially the eyes. I once blamed Ye Wanqing for everything I gained through her. Then Ye Wanqing gave birth to you, with god damn eyes like her, which made me ashamed and blamed her much more.” Bai Qiwei laughed crazily.
“I have never felt I owe Ye Wanqing, nor you. I gave you life. I gave you everything. There will be no you without me. I am your father. You must obey my order. Otherwise what is the meaning of keep you?” Bai Qiwei continued insanely.
Bai Aoxue felt deep sorry for Ye Wanqing, the frivolous lady back then.
“The kinship between us has been gone since the moment you whipped me! You say you gave me life. Didn’t you try to take it back? Bai Qiwei, do you think you are omnipotent? Or you think you can do whatever you want just because you are the biological father of my body?” Bai Aoxue said coldly, uncovering killing intention in her eyes.
Excited Bai Qiwei didn’t figure out the words between lines. He just thought Bai Aoxue was too overbearing.
“Shut up! Today I summoned you to the mansion with the aim of telling you that it will not long before you become the lady of Jun Wuhen. Jun Yeyan is doomed to die. If you want to live, you must follow my order.” Bai Qiwei scolded loudly.
Bai Aoxue’s eyes flashed bright light.
Sure enough…Jun Wuhen was brewing something.
“What do you mean?” Bai Aoxue stared at Bai Qiwei coldly, her lips pressed.
Bai Aoxue didn’t overreact to his words which made Bai Qiwei a little bit disappointed. But Bai Aoxue was already in his trap, so he didn’t care about other things.
“You don’t have to know! If there is something you need to know, I will contact you. You just remember your surname is Bai, and you work for Jun Wuhen.” Bai Qiwei raised his head up, with arrogance in his eyes.
Then he left and didn’t have time to see Bai Aoxue’s reaction.
Bai Aoxue looked at Bai Qiwei’s back view of leaving, narrowed her eyes. Bai Qiwei was stupid, but sometimes he was clever.
“You got this position through Ye Wanqing. Didn’t you see the regret and disappointment in her eyes in your dream?” Bai Aoxue asked lightly.
Bai Qiwei’s body shook severely on Bai Aoxue’s question. He didn’t turn around, nor did he reply. He just stepped out of the yard which almost suffocated him.
Bai Aoxue said slowly, “Zhao, let’s go back. Jun Yeyan must have been back. I want to talk to him in details first.”
“Yes, Princess.” Zhao appeared in silence and saluted politely.
Zhao overheard the conversation between Bai Aoxue and Bai Qiwei. He didn’t expect the relationship between them was so terrible. What shocked him more was that Bai Qiwei was such a shameless fellow who treated his own daughter so badly.
Of the conversation, he believed the part about Jun Yeyan, his master. It was sure that Jun Wuhen would deal with Jun Yeyan. And to his surprise, Jun Wuhen cast greedy eyes on the Princess!
If this was learned by Jun Yeyan, Jun Wuhen definitely could not afford the result of Jun Yeyan’s anger.
Bai Aoxue stood up to leave. She didn’t turn around. This place was not her home and had nothing for her to miss.
“Miss…let’s never…come back again!” Mumian was sad with her eyes red.
The conversation between the father and daughter was overheard by the maidservants. They all felt unworthy for Bai Aoxue. How could such a shameless fellow be the father of their elegant Miss?
Bai Aoxue’s thin lips pressed into a beautiful arc, and her eyes were clear like two ponds.
“Of course, we’ll never be back again!” A deep husky male voice with rage suppressed.
