Chapter 779: The One You Fell in Love with at First Sight was Mr. Xie, Right?
Ye Tianxin loved her body just the way it was. She was neither fat nor skinny; her body was just right.
She would’ve despised herself if she gained even a little weight.
Xie Xuning walked Ye Tianxin over to the fasting room, where a stove was lit.
“Dad, you just lied to me, didn’t you? The abbot certainly didn’t agree on letting you rest in his room.”
There was a large stove covered with quilts in the fasting room so people wouldn’t feel cold when they sit on it.
“I’ll just crash in the Duty Room for tonight. You don’t need to worry about me.”
Ye Tianxin mumbled with a long sigh, “Dad, you just don’t like to bother others. However, isn’t it foolish to spend the night in the Duty Room on such a cold day? How about I sleep with Dr. Xie in one room tonight and you sleep with Shi Han and his son… is that alright?”
“Listen, don’t worry about me. I’ve been through all kinds of situations before. It doesn’t make sense for me to be too demanding as a father!”
Xie Xuning didn’t want to impose on anyone, especially Xie Yi and Shi Han.
Ye Tianxin hesitated before saying, “Dad, I’ll find a place for you to sleep, you have to listen to me!”
“You little rascal, who gave you the courage to manage Dad’s affairs?”
Xie Xuning was pretending to be mad at her, which made Ye Tianxin smile sweetly and say, “Of course my mother gave me the courage!”
Xie Xuning pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows slightly. A subtle smile appeared on his face. Perhaps this was the kinship between a father and a daughter.
They were willing to do anything for each other.
“Go ahead and read your books. I’ll go for a walk.”
Ye Tianxin asked, “Dad, where are you going in a blizzard like this?”
Xie Xuning replied, “I’ll take a look at the signature.”
He only managed to take a glance at the signature before that read, “Lucky”. As for the content of the signature, he still had to ask a professional master to interpret the signature for him.
“Then be careful.”
Xie Xuning opened the curtain and walked out.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”
Ye Tianxin was alone in the room. She took off her shoes, sat cross-legged on the stove, and started to read.
In another room, Xie Yi was reading a story to Mo’er, who fell asleep as he was listening.
After carefully covering Mo’er up with a quilt, Xie Yi slowly got off the stove.
As Shi Han was fiddling with the charcoal fire with a tong, a wave of heat came up.
He asked, “Did Mo’er fall asleep?”
Xie Yi nodded and whispered, “Mo’er was a little excited when he saw snow for the first time. He just fell asleep.”
Shi Han asked, “Xie Yi, the man you fell in love with at first sight was Mr. Xie. Am I right?”
Xie Yi’s face turned red instantly. She covered her face with her hands and asked shyly, “Is it that obvious?”
Shi Han smiled and said, “Not exactly, but what do you think about our relationship? You have excellent taste, Xie Yi. Xie Xuning is a decent man. If you can make him fall in love with you, you will no doubt find happiness for the rest of your life.”
Xie Yi whispered slowly, “Shi Han, I’m not planning that far ahead… after all, he seems to have a very cold disposition.”
Xie Yi was discouraged by the thought that he would rather hold her scarf than have any form of skin-to-skin contact with her when she fell in the plum grove.
She Han said, “He wouldn’t be Xie Xuning if he was not cold. I’m sure he’s a great man” He poured a cup of hot tea and hand it to Xie Yi.
