Biting her lip in a tied manner: “Husband, Furen is still a woman, having her go care for a child, that… I think it’s not a good idea. It might affect her reputation.”
Frowning now in the face due to his wife’s indecision: “What’ wrong with that idea? If you want our daughter to climb further than us then we must do this. Also… the Water Clan have always been very low-key, and your older brother won’t let us use his name here either. Because of that reasoning, no one actually knows he’s the current housekeeper of that clan.” Pausing to gather his words so he doesn’t mess it up, “But if we can tie ourselves to the young lord of the Water Clan then our future is secured. No one will ever dare challenge our family, nor do you have to worry about Furen’s future.”
Yue Snowing had to admit her husband’s argument was winning her over. She’s the younger sister of the Water Clan’s housekeeper, yet no one knows that fact, nor does she dare give the details out.
“And…” Seeing there’s still a hint of hesitation, the man quickly follows up with his final move, “didn’t your brother tell us to grasp onto this opportunity? Don’t you get what he means by that?”
Actually, this time around it’s Tian Wind who’s overthinking the meaning of that message. Yue Snowing’s older brother only wanted them to keep Bai Xiachen happy and make sure he has a good time in the capital, nothing more and nothing less. After all, it’s a well-known fact by now that Di Cang greatly cares for this son of his and that unknown future wife. Why would he go ask his own niece to poke into this relationship at a time like now? It’s the same as throwing themselves into the firepit for roasting.
Still not fully convinced since her daughter’s stubborn face won’t stop coming up: “But Furen already stared she’s not willing….”
“Unwilling?” Tian Wind snickers derisively, “She’s going to be the Water Clan’s bride to be, what can she complain about? It’s a blessing that most could only dream about. I don’t care how you do, just get her to follow us to receive the little boy. She doesn’t need to know why, just keep her in the dark.”
In the end this woman could only give in. As much as she would like to discuss this some more, but she knows her husband here better than anyone. When he’s like this then there’s no changing his mind.
“Whatever then, I won’t get involved anymore. However… I still want our daughter to willing agree to the marriage first. If she still refuses then I’m not going to force her. I know Furen’s personality better than anyone. If we do force her then she would rather die than submit.”
“You’re fretting too much. Furen is my daughter too, how can I not care about her?” Pleased by his wife’s answer, Tian Wind got a lot better in the face as he spoke: “Go call Furen and get her ready, we will go find the little boy now.”
“Okay.” Nodding as told, the woman slowly got out of bed and went downstair.
……
As it turns out, the hotel where Bai Xiachen was staying happens to be the very same one Bai Yi Yi was staying at. And towards the new and unknown, the boy would curiously touch and stare in amazement at the high-tech appliances surrounding himself. For example, the elevator that’s able to carry him up and down caught his attention the most like a child finding a novelty toy.
