“It’s so late now, why aren’t you sleeping? Why are you all standing here?” Bai Jie suddenly had a very bad premonition. He sucked in a cold breath and looked at the three people in front of him. “Did you guys throw She Qi into the water?”
“Daddy, She Qi can only blame himself for falling into the water. Don’t worry about him. We have something more important to tell you now.” Bai Jiao’er shot Baili Yu an intense look.
Baili Yu was also straightforward. He knelt before Bai Jie and said, “Master Bai, Wanxi and I are truly in love. I hope you can give us your blessings.”
“Daddy, She Qi wanted to use me to lure sister out of the city so that he could take advantage of her. After Brother-in-law found out, he was very worried about her safety. So now, he wants to take responsibility and marry her.” Bai Jiao’er spoke up for him.
But Bai Jie seemed to have heard something different from her narration. He raised his eyebrows and questioned her sharply, “Did you go and cause trouble again?”
Bai Jiao’er blinked innocently and secretly poked Little Jue.
Little Jue explained, “She Qi went to find trouble with Young Master Baili today and beat him up. He insisted that he was the person who liked Miss Wanxi the most. Miss Jiao’er wanted to test if She Qi was sincere, but she found out that he put on a bewitching scent to meet Miss Wanxi.”
A man and a woman meeting alone in the middle of the night. And the man deliberately put on a bewitching scent for the meeting. It was obvious what he wanted to do.
Bai Jie’s expression immediately darkened. He narrowed his eyes. “Outrageous! Back then, when She Qi came, I told him very clearly that even if our Bai family is poor, we won’t use our children’s marriage as a bargaining chip. No one can force my children to marry against their will! Both parties must truly love each other!”
Bai Jiao’er saw that her father had finally shifted his suspicion away from her. She became very excited. “That’s right! Daddy, Brother-in-law is much more trustworthy than She Qi.”
Bai Jie was silent for a moment before looking down at the sincere Baili Yu. “Young Master Baili, I can tell that my daughter likes you a lot, but you’re just an ordinary person. If possible, I hope that my daughter can find someone who can protect her.”
“Uncle, don’t worry. I understand very well that I’m not worthy of Wanxi. But I swear to you that I will give up everything I have now and use my life to protect and love her,” Baili Yu said seriously.
Hearing this, Bai Jie finally nodded. “Alright. Since you two are truly in love, I can’t say anything. As long as my daughter is willing, this matter is settled.”
“Thank you, Master Bai! I’ll go find Wanxi now.” The usually calm Baili Yu jumped up in excitement and scampered off to find Bai Wanxi.
“Look at how anxious that boy is…” Bai Jie couldn’t help feeling a little bitter at the fact that he was giving his daughter away. He turned to look at Bai Jiao’er. “Jiaojiao, in order to prevent any accidents from happening, I’ll get She Qi to leave White Cloud City. We will hold your sister and brother-in-law’s wedding in three days’ time. I’ll also inform the Xuan Sect’s Sect Master in advance.”
Bai Jie felt that She Qi was not a good person. He was worried that he would be up to no good.
