Upon hearing what Zeus said, Shi Han kept quiet.
Xie Xuning thought for a while and then continued, “I always thought it strange. Linlang and I are an ordinary couple in love. Why would anyone go through so much trouble just to break us up?”
Zues took a sip of water from his glass. His throat felt less dry and he asked, “Do you have any suspect in mind?”
Xie Xuning nodded and said, “Yes.”
“If there’s anything you need from Shi Han and me, you can let us know. We only have one condition: Xie Yi must never be hurt, no matter what.”
Xie Xuning nodded in agreement. His gaze fell on the daffodils outside. They were very pretty, very simple-looking yet charming.
He decided he would get a bunch of roses for Ye Linlang on his way back.
Shi Han reiterated, “If you cannot ensure Xie Yi’s safety, then you might as well let us take her away. Zeus and I will never let anything happen to her. She’s our family.”
Xie Xuning hesitated and then replied in a soft voice, “Let me think about it again.”
“All right, but you don’t have to come here specially to thank me. It is fate that I was meant to save Xie Yi. I didn’t save her so someone can thank me for it. Be good to her. She’s lost her memory and the only thing she remembers is the name “Xie”. Xie Xuning, count your blessings that there is a woman who loves you so much.”
Shi Han had conveyed his message strongly and clearly to Xie Xuning.
The four of them spoke for a while more before Xie Xuning and Li Qingcang left the courtyard.
It was still snowing outside. Winter in the capital was exceptionally cold that year with one snowstorm happening after another.
On the way home, Xie Xuning told the driver to stop at some shops. He walked into a florist and picked out 99 roses before heading back to the car.
He told the driver, “You can drive home.”
Li Qingcang looked at the bouquet and felt a little betrayed by his own father-in-law, “Can you give me a stalk?”
Xie Xuning clutched the flowers tightly, “Are you trying to patronize my daughter?”
This fellow is not sincere at all. My daughter and he are not yet married and he is already trying to patronize her.
“You’ll make me feel bad.”
He would’ve been embarrassed if he went back to Lang Garden with Xie Xuning with the latter holding such a big bouquet of roses while he was empty-handed.
Xie Xuning was unaffected by his words, “Oh yes, Shangguan Ling will be coming to Lang Garden later. Please be on your best behavior.”
Although Shangguan Ling no longer stood a chance with Ye Tianxin, Xie Xuning still felt it was a pity. Still, there was nothing he could do; his daughter had picked Li Qingcang as her future husband. It was her choice.
“Are you hoping that Shangguan Ling will become your son-in-law?”
Xie Xuning looked at Li Qingcang in the eye and said, “Qingcang, it doesn’t matter what I think. What’s more important is what you and Tianxin think. I respect Tianxin’s decision, alright?”
Li Qingcang then turned to ask, “Where did you go with Tianxin last night?”
Where did we go? We went to the graveyard.
However, Xie Xuning would never tell anyone about that.
“I went out for a spin and Tianxin kept me company. What’s wrong with that? She’s not married to you yet and you’re already trying to control where she goes? Will you still let Tianxin come back and see her parents once you’re married?”
