Chapter 15 Not Hiding His Desire to Protect His Daughter
Liu Shan’s face soured as if she had swallowed something worse than a fly, such as, human waste.
Her brain hadn’t fully developed? Wasn’t she calling Muya stupid?
Liu Shan’s chest heaved, and it took her a long time to calm down.
She forced a smile and, against her will, said, “Xiao Xiao is so considerate…”
Lan Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly. She really had to admire Liu Shan.
All her negative emotions were perfectly hidden under her skin.
It was an incredible feat.
Lan Xiao couldn’t help giving her a thumbs up.
If she hadn’t learned of Liu Shan’s true face in her previous life, she might have been deceived by her appearance right now.
Liu Shan’s consummate acting skills could fool anyone.
Lan Xiao had to learn from her.
“Well… I’m going to see Muya. It’s time for school. You two can go together.” Liu Shan turned around and started walking away awkwardly, not daring to stay here for too long.
She felt humiliated.
She didn’t know what had happened to Lan Xiao.
Every word that came out of her mouth was like a thorn that pierced her heart.
“Mom, Muya seemed to be a bit angry just now. She may not want to go to school with me now. We’d better go separately for her sake…” Lan Xiao added casually.
The corners of Liu Shan’s mouth twitched involuntarily. She nodded her head and walked out stiffly.
Lan Xiao was acting so weird today. Liu Shan didn’t know if she was saying such things on purpose or if it was just a coincidence.
Lan Xiao turned around and smiled brightly at Lan Shanhua. “Dad, do you think I’m picking on them on purpose?”
“How could that be? I don’t think so. On the contrary, I think you have become sensible and capable of protecting yourself. Only when you become stronger and more confident can I rest assured,” Lan Shanhua said sincerely, not hiding his desire to protect his daughter.
Lan Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly, blinked her eyes, and looked at her father in confusion.
Did she have such an important place in her father’s heart?
Ignoring the confusion in Lan Xiao’s eyes, Lan Shanhua gently touched her soft hair and said, “It’s okay for you to stay in the school dormitory. I’ll help you arrange it, but I have one condition��you have to come home every weekend. If I have to go more than a whole week without seeing you, I will miss you.”
The reluctance in her father’s eyes was very real, without any flaws.
A warm current coursed through Lan Xiao’s heart, and she reached out and held Lan Shanhua’s arm.
“Dad, you are so good to me.”
“Silly girl. You are my precious daughter. How can I not treat you well?” Lan Shanhua smiled gently.
Then, he took out a card from his suit pocket and handed it to Lan Xiao.
“Take this card. There are no restrictions on the amount of money you can withdraw. I believe that from this day on, my Xiao Xiao has become an adult.”
Lan Xiao’s eyes widened in surprise as she took the card. “Ah, this is a black card…”
The smile on Lan Shanhua’s face grew gentler as he replied, “Yes, I only have one black card, and I’m giving it to you…”
“Dad, why are you being so kind?” Lan Xiao’s nose twitched as she tried to hold back her tears. Then, she flung her arms around her father and hugged him like a spoiled child.
Nestled in her father’s arms, Lan Xiao’s eyes lit up. In fact, before dawn, she had sneaked into his bedroom and secretly replaced his supplements with vitamin pills.
After that, she had put those supplements into Liu Shan’s beauty supplement bottles…
She remembered clearly that in her past life, it was during this year that her father had started suffering from frequent headaches.
