As soon as Ye Linlang was mentioned, Xie Xuning started speaking more.
Ye Tianxin couldn’t help thinking, ‘In the previous life, was Xie Xuning unaware that he had a daughter? Did he die not knowing her?’
When Xie Xuning was alone at Lang Garden, did he still miss his wife until his death?
“Then Mom is amazing. I don’t even know how to use a gun.”
When Xie Xuning heard this, and he said, “Then I will teach you later.”
“Tianxin, I will teach you,” Li Qingcang chimed in.
Li Qingcang thought that he shouldn’t give others the opportunity to get close with Ye Tianxin.
Also, he was planning to teach Ye Tianxin a set of self-defense skills.
“Okay, I will let Elder Brother Li teach me.”
Xie Xuning then joked, “People say that daughters are inclined towards outsiders. You’re not married yet, but you’re already biased towards him?”
“Dad, why do you say that to me? I’m angry,” Ye Tianxin teased Xie Xuning. “I will not show you my mother’s diary.”
As soon as Xie Xuning heard about the diary, he couldn’t help but ask, “Diary? Where? Show me quickly!”
“It’s in the bookstore.” Ye Tianxin rubbed her belly, then said softly, “I’m hungry!”
“Eat first, and then tell me about this diary later.”
There was an indescribable regret in Xie Xuning’s heart. He tried to suppress it, stretched out his hand, and gently patted Ye Tianxin’s head.
“The weather is fine today. We’ll eat at the waterside pavilion.”
A dining area was set up on the waterside pavilion built next to the lake. Currently, the lake was filled with green lotus leaves.
After Xie Xuning brought Grandmother and Ye Tianxin to the water pavilion, a staff brought out the prepared lunch.
The round red sandalwood table was adorned with classic tableware. The set-up looked as if they were in ancient times.
“I feel like I’m an ancient young madam.”
Xie Xuning helped Grandmother to sit down and whispered to Ye Tianxin, “You are the jewel in my palm.”
Ye Tianxin stuck out her tongue playfully. “Yeah, I am also the jewel in Mr. Xie’s palm now.”
“I’m still worried that you would call me a pervert.”
Xie Xuning clasped his forehead. He took the hot towel and wiped Ye Tianxin’s hands.
The father and daughter’s reunion was a happy event.
Xie Xuning’s heart was filled with indescribable sadness.
He missed the most important 10 years of Ye Tianxin’s life. She was a grown young woman when they finally met, which made him feel at a loss more often.
He had no children.
Before he learned about Ye Tianxin, he never thought that he would still become a father.
Of course, it wasn’t like no one wanted to marry him or suggested that he adopt.
He refused to do both.
He had already made a decision. When he died, Lang Garden would be auctioned, and the money would go to charity.
But now, he thought of keeping Lang Garden and wait for Ye Linlang so she could see the courtyard he had built for her.
“Mr. Xie, think about it. I was a young and beautiful girl who was oddly approached by a middle-aged man. I should be wary, shouldn’t I?”
Ye Tianxin and Xie Xuning had a newfound father-daughter intimacy between them, so when she talked, she wasn’t as conscious as before.
“You are in a top position, so you probably don’t know how many women disappear every year. Some of them are abducted and brought into the mountains to become fertility machines. Some are forced to sell themselves, while some are killed and their organs are harvested.”
