All the happiness and the good feelings toward Nan Jin vanished the moment he said those words.
Why does he always have to bring up his sister whenever? Isn’t she his daughter at least ostensibly, or is it because they have a father-daughter connection?
If that was the case, what should she do? Should she give up?
Nan Xi looked around, feeling torn; she didn’t want to give up.
"Big sister doesn’t like dresses."
Finally, she spoke as she looked at the dresses.
"Then let’s choose something else. Bai Yu, you also pick a few sets for Bai Ye; it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t like them, we’ll keep looking."
Nan Jin indicated that it wasn’t a problem; he could satisfy whatever they wanted.
Are beautiful dresses supposed to make her happy? Of course, they are, but still, she felt uncomfortable. Isn’t he her dad? Why is he so nice to Bai Zhi?
That night Bai Zhi didn’t have a fever, and she slept well. Bai Dan and Old Han were constantly by her side, and even Ye Xiu didn’t leave.
In the middle of the night, Bai Dan and Old Han planned to check on Bai Da.
"Ye Xiu, we are going to check on Bai Da. By the way, about your divorce. Why not settle it tomorrow? Once Bai Xin and the others are here, we’ll all go together."
Bai Da thought it might be better not to delay any longer.
It would be best to resolve it sooner.
Ye Xiu was startled. She hadn’t expected her father-in-law to make a decision so quickly; she thought it would take some time. She was still thinking about how to prepare a document proving they had been living apart.
So, it seems that’s not necessary now.
Ye Xiu wasn’t foolish; if her father-in-law was willing to help, the faster the better.
"Xingxing stays with me, Bai Ye with you, and let Bai Yu go with Bai Da. If Bai Da gets a sentence, then he can live by himself. He’s capable enough to take care of himself."
As for Bai Ye, we’ll see.
He’s just a big fool.
"Alright, Dad, I understand. If Bai Da gets sentenced, then I’ll take the two kids. I can ride a bike back and forth every day."
Nowadays, Ye Xiu wouldn’t just focus on her students; she naturally would find a way to balance both.
"We’ll step out for a bit, keep a close eye on Xingxing. If anything happens, go straight to the doctor. We’ll be back soon."
Bai Dan said and then went with Old Han to see Bai Da.
His room was empty except for himself.
There was a "snap" sound.
Bai Da furrowed his brow, sensing someone had arrived.
Bai Dan turned on the light directly. The brightness stung Bai Da’s eyes, and he hurriedly covered them.
Bai Dan gave a cold laugh, his gaze growing ever colder as he looked at Bai Da.
"Old Han, get your needles out and tell me where to stab so it won’t kill him; elsewhere, I’ll stab randomly."
Bai Dan’s serious tone almost made Bai Da doubt his life. Was this really his biological father?
"Dad, am I really your son?"
He was almost in tears, especially since he couldn’t move at this moment due to the pain.
"Heh, when you were stabbing needles into Xingxing, did you think about that?"
Bai Dan said sarcastically, watching Bai Da’s eyes shrink, the man visibly feeling guilty.
It wasn’t like he had stabbed just anyone; it was his daughter after all.
"As long as it’s not the temples or the heart, you can do whatever you want. What are you afraid of with me here?"
Even if he went through the Ghost Gate, he could still be pulled back. Letting him die would be too easy on him.
Old Han picked up Bai Da’s hand, and upon touching it, he realized.
"His Inner Strength is ruined. It must have been Xingxing."
Old Han could tell immediately; how foolish Bai Da was to have his Inner Strength destroyed, but he seemed fine otherwise. Only he and Xingxing had that Golden Needle.
