24 Father (1/2)

”Yue'er.”

A familiar voice startled Nangong Yue. She looked towards the source of the voice and saw a slender figure standing by the window, staring at her. His handsome face was filled with a rare solemness.

Nangong Yue was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered. She forced out a smile and nonchalantly walked into the room. She asked, ”Father, why are you here?”

Nangong Mu would not be fooled by Nangong Yue's words.

He took a few steps forward and asked in disappointment, ”Yue'er, you have always been obedient since you were young. Why did you sneak out of the residence? ” As he spoke, his gaze passed through Nangong Yue and landed on An Niang, ”Mother An, you've really disappointed me to let Yue'er do all this!”

Nangong Yue's smile stiffened. She pretended to be spoiled as she said, ”Father, An Niang listened to me. Everything was Yue'er's fault. Yue'er was bored staying in the mansion and wanted to go out to relax.”

”Hmm?” Nangong Mu raised his eyebrows. There was a trace of love in his eyes, but it was quickly suppressed by reason.

”If you want to go out, why didn't you tell your mother? If your grandmother found out that you left the clan without permission, do you know the consequences!? ”

Nangong Yue lowered her head in silence, her eyelashes drooping to cover her thoughts.

”Yue'er, you're already nine years old. You should learn to understand now. Think about it carefully.” Nangong Mu earnestly said those words.

As for Nangong Yue, she felt mockery. It was obvious that her father had never cared about her.

She pursed her lips and suddenly said: ”I know Grandmother is at the Buddhist Hall for some time.” The meaning behind her words was that her grandmother would not know.

Moreover, her grandmother had never been close to her and rarely thought of her, which was why she dared to brazenly leave the manor at this time.

When he heard the rebellious tone in his daughter's voice, Nangong Mu looked at his daughter in surprise. Suddenly, he felt that he knew very little about his daughter.

Thus, he secretly made up his mind. He pondered for a moment, then said seriously, ”Yue'er, you're right, but have you ever thought about why I'm waiting for you here today?”

His expression and tone showed that he was concerned.

This thought clearly appeared in Nangong Yue's mind. When she thought of how her father had taught her so earnestly yesterday, a peculiar feeling began to sprout in her heart.

A complicated look flashed through her eyes. She didn't understand why her father never came to visit her ever since she left home in her previous life, not even saying a single word.

Thinking of this, her heart became cold again. She warned herself not to be blinded by a moment of warmth.

This man was heartless to her mother and heartless to her. How could she believe this kind of heartless man!

Seeing that Nangong Yue had not spoken for a long time, Nangong Mu thought his words were too harsh.
