Fearing that Miao Miao would distance herself from him if she found out he wasn't her father, Miao Xingren quickly called his men in to take her away.

Seeing her parents' solemn expressions, Miao Miao obediently followed her uncle out. When she reached the door, she turned back and spoke softly.

"Mother, please don't scold Father. Father has been working very hard these past few days!"

"..."

Miao Xingren looked at his well-behaved daughter and was deeply moved.

Although Miaomiao is not his biological daughter, he loves her very much, as much as his own life.

"Miaomiao, go out and wait for Daddy and Mommy. We'll come find you in a little while!"

After Miao Miao left, Ye Fan looked up at the man's cautious eyes, which were full of love for him.

But she never expected that this seemingly innocent man would use living people to raise poisonous insects, deceive her, and manipulate her completely.

"Zhuxi, I know you hate me, but everything I did was because I love you so much. Please forgive me this time. Let's be the same as before. I don't want anything anymore. I'll resign from my post and take you and Miaomiao away from here forever, okay?"

The main reason why Miao Xingren worked so hard to help his enemy Fu Chenchu ​​was that he wanted the Wuling people to have a place where they could settle down and make a living. But now he is willing to give up for Ye Zhuxi.

Over the past five years, Ye Zhuxi has received kindness from the people of Futu Manor. She knows they are good people, but she just can't be with Miao Xingren as if nothing had ever happened.

Ye Zhuxi raised her eyes and looked at him coldly: "Miao Xingren, do you think that's possible?"

"Why not? We were living a good life before, weren't we? We can stay with Miaomiao like this forever!"

Ye Zhuxi asked, word by word, "Miao Xingren, don't you want your clansmen anymore?"

"..."

At this point, Miao Xingren's expression stiffened as if he had been struck by a pressure point.

"You can't abandon them; they have no one to rely on but you!"

"Similarly, I will not stay here any longer. I will take Miaomiao back to Daqi and never come back!"

……

at night

Fu Jingyuan dared not see Ye Zhuxi when she was awake; he only dared to come and see her after she fell asleep.

He also learned some things about what happened five years ago from Miao Xingren. He couldn't imagine what kind of belief she had that allowed her to survive when he had actually forced her to jump off a cliff.

Fortunately, there was a river behind her when she jumped in; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Over the past five years, she has transformed from a petite and delicate girl into the beautiful woman she is today. Fu Jingyuan smiled gently.

He looked down at her, his eyes overflowing with tenderness.

Fu Jingyuan didn't even dare to touch her, afraid of waking her up. She was looking at him with eyes full of hatred, and he couldn't accept that the girl who loved him so much would look at him with such eyes.

Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he murmured to himself, "Ruo Ruo, I will definitely wake Ye Zhenyu up, and then we can be together again!"

"..."

His only response was complete silence.

Fu Jingyuan stared at her for a long time until the sky was almost light before he reluctantly turned to leave. The room was quiet, as if no one had ever been there.

Ye Zhuxi recovered quickly and was able to walk again in no time.

During this time, Fu Jingyuan did not come to see her, but she always felt that after she fell asleep at night, there was always someone by her bedside. When she opened her eyes, that person disappeared.

It's not that she doesn't know who it is, but she's made up her mind and doesn't want to dwell on it anymore.

She came to the garden, where the furnishings were very similar to those in the scholar's mansion. Sitting on the swing, she even thought she had returned to the past.

Ye Zhuxi stayed there for a long time, and only when it was getting dark did she get up to leave.

Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she bumped into Fu Yizhou, who was standing some distance away watching her.

Judging from his appearance, he had been standing there for as long as she had been there.

When Fu Jingyuan saw her looking over, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, but he still walked step by step to her side.

He dared not get too close, but stood a few feet away from her, his gaze lingering on her with longing and greed.

Ye Zhuxi's eyes were deathly still. She didn't shout angrily because she saw her enemy, but quietly looked at him.

Fu Jingyuan spoke cautiously, "Ruoruo, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Zhuxi interrupted her.

"Big brother, my father is dead. I need to go back to find my mother. If she's still alive, I'll raise her and Miaomiao to live a good life together..."

"I never want to see you again. I hate you, but I'm powerless to avenge my father. I don't want Miaomiao to end up like me!"

Hearing those two words from Ye Zhuxi again after five years, Fu Jingyuan was stunned for a long time.

"..."

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

He wanted to keep her, but he didn't know what reason to use. He had also promised Miao Xingren that he would never see her again.

If he didn't have other things to do later, he would have tried everything to keep her by his side, even if it meant forcibly keeping her by his side.

Fu Jingyuan remained silent for a long time before speaking stiffly.

"Then... take care!"

Ye Zhuxi didn't look at her again, turned around and left without hesitation.

Looking at her frail figure, Fu Jingyuan tightened his grip on her side, forcefully restraining himself from wanting to grab her hand.

As soon as Ye Zhuxi left, it suddenly started snowing. Large snowflakes, like goose feathers, fell down. Fu Jingyuan was a little dazed. It was at this moment that his story with Ye Zhuxi began!

He caught the falling snowflakes, his eyes becoming even more determined.

"Ruo Ruo, wait for me. I will definitely give you an explanation after I have taken care of everything."

The next morning, Ye Zhuxi did not postpone her return trip because of the snow. She took Miaomiao and prepared to leave.

Miao Xingren stood in the swirling snow to see them off.

Seeing the reluctance in his eyes, Miao Miao sadly took his hand and comforted him, "Daddy, don't worry, Mommy and I are going to see Grandma, we'll be back soon."

Seeing her daughter smiling happily, Ye Zhuxi couldn't bear to tell her the truth.

Miao Xingren squatted down to look into her eyes. Looking at her rosy cheeks, he couldn't help but hug her tightly, suppressing the urge to cry.

"Miaomiao keeps her word and must come back to see her father!"

"Uh-huh!"

Miao Miao smiled happily.

Seeing how reluctant they were to part with each other, Ye Zhuxi didn't know what to say for a moment.

Miao Xingren was worried, so he sent a group of people to escort them back.

Ye Zhuxi did not refuse; she wanted to think of her daughter in case she encountered any danger on the way.

Fu Jingyuan, hiding in the shadows, watched the carriage leave, his hands clenched tightly.

"Ruoruo, wait for me, I'll be there to find you soon!"
