"okay."
Bai Suye responded and followed Ye Mu.
In the hall, only the father and son were left confronting each other.
Bai Suye was also absent-minded in the kitchen, fearing that Feirence would do something unkind to Ye Xiao. After all, the bullet in his body was shot by Feirence himself.
"If you're worried, just go sit quietly in the side hall." Ye's mother saw through her worries.
"But I still have to cook..."
"Did you really think I wanted you to cook? No need. Just go ahead!"
"Okay, Auntie, I'll go over first." Bai Suye came out of the kitchen and walked slowly to the side hall. The side hall was only separated from the main hall by a wall, and she could vaguely hear their conversation.
… … …
Ferrens said in a bad tone, "Don't think I don't know about your relationship just because I'm abroad, but I've always turned a blind eye to it because I thought you knew your limits. But now you've brought it to me and flaunted it!"
"I'm not showing off." Facing Ferens's harshness, Ye Xiao's tone remained calm, without any excitement, as if he was just stating a simple fact, "She is my woman, and you are my godfather. It is only a matter of time for you to meet. It just happens to be convenient today."
"Your woman? What a joke!" Ferrens snorted, "What? Are you planning to cancel this contract for your woman?!"
"No." Night Owl said, "Don't worry, since I promised you, I will never give up this cooperation. I will keep my word."
"Okay, then let me ask you - is the reason she's approaching you now because of these contracts?"
Night Owl was silent for a moment.
Ferrens was so angry that he grabbed the pillow beside him and threw it at him, "You are out of your mind! You knew she was playing with you for a purpose, but you still dared to play with her! You will not be satisfied until you kill yourself, right? Do you have confidence in her? Are you 100% sure that she will not kill you at the last moment?!"
Ferrens' voice was shaking with anger.
Night Owl grasped the pillow firmly, but he couldn't answer his godfather's series of words.
He was indeed unsure. He could never figure out her thoughts until the last moment. She was too rational, and all his feelings were probably nothing in front of her righteousness.
"I gave you this life! How dare you allow a woman to take your life again and again, Night Owl, you are simply hopeless!"
"At least, she hasn't taken my life yet." Compared to Ferrence, he, as the person involved, remained calm, very calm.
"Okay, let me ask you this - if she really wants to kill you in the end, and her goal is to kill you, what are you going to do?"
Night Owl pondered for a long while before speaking slowly in a dull voice, "I hope she won't choose this. Otherwise... that would be her own destruction."
He said the last four words very softly, but he spoke them so strongly. His hands resting on the armrest of the sofa tensed slightly.
"When the time comes, not only will she destroy herself, but even you—" Ferrens pointed his finger at Night Owl, "even you won't survive!"
Night Owl didn't seem to be afraid, he just asked: "If, it turns out, she didn't want to kill me, and it wasn't because of the contract, can godfather promise me something?"
Ferrens snorted coldly, "Don't be so ungrateful after getting such an advantage."
"Let's make a bet."
"Bet? You already lost!"
"You don't dare to gamble?"
"Don't try to provoke me. It won't work on me!" Ferrens glanced at Night Owl, and after a while, his tone softened. "You say!"
"Try to accept her."
Ferrens looked at Night Owl, "Accept her? Before asking me, you should probably ask your brothers if they can accept her. 25 lives are not a joke."
"You are my father and my elder, so I naturally asked you first. I will talk to the others later."
"I think you are really possessed!" Ferrens gritted his teeth.
"Then I'll take that as your agreement."
"If she wants me to accept her, she has to at least do something to make me truly accept her. Just saying acceptance is shit!"
———
the other side.
Bai Suye sat quietly in the side hall, a little dazed. In fact, Ye Xiao didn't believe her, she knew it in her heart, but now she heard him say it, she still felt bitter in her heart.
seem…
Only when this contract ends and she doesn't take action, will his trust in her be restored a little.
"Want to sit here and listen?"
A familiar voice came and Bai Suye came back to her senses. She saw Ye Xiao standing at the door, staring at her with complicated eyes.
"You knew I was here?"
"I saw a shadow when you came over."
so…
What he said just now was meant for Ferrens as well as for her. He wanted to warn her and make her understand the consequences of her choices.
"I'm afraid that my coming here will cause you trouble, so I came to eavesdrop. Do you mind?" Bai Suye stood up and walked towards him.
He shook his head. "It's just a conversation between father and son. It's no trouble at all."
"Yeah." She nodded.
The two people looked at each other, with complicated expressions in their eyes.
However, in the end, neither of them mentioned anything.
Those sensitive topics were hidden deep in their hearts by them tacitly.
"Then I'll go to the kitchen now. I'll make you whatever you want to eat." She spoke first, breaking the somewhat uncomfortable atmosphere.
Ye Xiao's eyes were fixed on her smiling face, and he said calmly, "I like it very simple. I'll just make your famous tomato and egg soup."
"Okay. By the way..." Bai Suye glanced at him, "What does your godfather like? I'll make one that he likes."
There was a slight fluctuation in Ye Xiao's eyes. After a while, he replied: "His teeth are not very good, and the servants usually like to make some sweet potatoes for him."
"Taro." Bai Suye had never made it before, but she should be able to ask Aunt Ye for advice. "Then I'll go now."
Night Owl nodded.
Bai Suye was about to go to the kitchen, but when she turned around, Ye Xiao suddenly hugged her from behind.
She was stunned.
His arms were across her chest, holding her very tightly.
At that moment, Bai Suye's eyes became sore, and all kinds of feelings came out of her nose, almost making her cry.
Bai Suye felt very uncomfortable.
No matter how things develop in the future, she will always be a disaster in his Night Owl world. Unless...
She didn't think about it any further. After a long while, she took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and patted Ye Xiao's hand, "Don't hug me. If Mr. Fei sees us, he will say we are showing off."
Night Owl bit her ear and said, "You are my woman. No one can stop me from showing off as I want."
