Bai Yun's face paled, and Xiao Nanhui's voice dropped. "I only have my adoptive father. But he only has you in his heart. He's been waiting for you for many years. If we can meet again in the future, you can take him away."
Xiao Nanhui turned around after saying this, she was afraid that she would regret it the next second.
