Chapter 1168 “Familiarity (3)”
“Ning’er, I don’t mean anything else but Yu loves you, she wants to be your daughter, that’s why I’m so anxious. If what I did offended you then I apologize.”
Still having her back facing the man, Bai Ning eventually responded: “Brother Yuan, I am grateful that you saved me several times in the past, but feelings are something we can’t force. If you still consider me as a sister then I will welcome the thought, but if you have other intents in mind then… I’m sorry but I won’t be returning again in the future….”
Ning Yuan went stiff as a rock over that statement. He never thought this woman who’s always been soft voiced and kindly behaved would be so harsh and stern when discussing the topic.
“As for Yu’er….” Bai Ning’s voice softens up over the petite lass, “I also like the girl very much, pity I can’t take her as my daughter, that includes being a goddaughter as well.”
“Why?” The man’s frown deepens further.
He could understand why Bai Ning wouldn’t want to take his own daughter as her own, after all, she’s making it clear she doesn’t love him, but why not a goddaughter?
Drawing a frank smile on her face: “I don’t know why either. I just don’t feel comfortable about the idea of taking another child as my own daughter. It’s as if the position has long been occupied by another. Brother Yuan, I will treat Yu’er as my own niece so forgive me for not being able to do more.”
The man was lost for words there. Staring blankly at the disappearing back of the woman, Ning Yuan had the color drain from his face after those words.
Why? I spent so many years by her side, accompanied her for so many years, why can’t I melt her heart?
“Papa,” the call draws the man back to attention.
Turning around the man glances down at the petite girl, his voice stiff and unsure: “Did you hear all of it?”
Ning Yu nodded, that face pouting unhappily: “Papa, do you think Auntie Ning has another daughter, that’s why she won’t take me as hers?”
The man remained silent, only looking down in a contemplative manner that left the girl wondering.
“Perhaps….” Eventually he threw out this word after getting nowhere with his thoughts.
“Pa,” the petite girl snorts, her voice full of displeasure, “my mother died as soon as I was born so Auntie Ning’s the first woman I’ve known. Let’s assume she does have a family prior to meeting us, have they ever searched for her through all these years? It’s us, we’re the ones always by her side! And her daughter, the girl never showed an ounce of filial duty, nor did the girl allow Auntie Ning to enjoy the pleasure of raising a child. Now I’m supposed to just slide to one side and let such a person occupy an important position in Auntie Ning’s heart?” The more she spoke, the angrier the petite girl became.
Why is there someone else coming to steal Auntie Ning’s heart? We deserve it more! We are the ones who always stood by her side!
Ning Yuan’s complexion went pale over his daughter’s outrage and snapped: “Yu’er, you mustn’t say such words!”
“Why can’t I?” Fighting back with her own voice, “I am not wrong. I’m only feeling pained for Auntie Ning. Pa. Why do you think she lost her memories? I bet it’s because Auntie Ning’s husband is the cheating type, abandoning her for a newer and younger woman. As for the daughter, I bet she’s the same, otherwise why else would Auntie Ning become like this?” Perhaps its due to how excited she became over her own theory, the girl ends up completely missing the enraged face of her old man.
