Chapter 366 Nothing is done
After saying this, Nie Yao turned and left the side hall.
Old Nie was so angry that he clenched the walnut in his hand. Nie's father didn't bother to comfort Old Nie, and hurriedly strode in the direction Nie Yao left, and finally caught up with Nie Yao in the yard.
"Ayao, wait—" Father Nie grabbed his daughter's wrist and said hurriedly, "Dad has something to say to you!"
Nie Yao finally stopped and looked up at her father. She tried to maintain a calm tone and asked, "If you have anything else to say, please say it all at once!"
Facing Nie Yao's indifferent expression, Father Nie remembered what she had just said and her slightly sarcastic look, and felt even more guilty.
As a father, he did nothing right...
"I'm sorry..." Father Nie's heart was full of words, but they only turned into these three words.
"I'm not a good father, otherwise you wouldn't have disappeared back then. It was Nie Jinxi who was found later. It's my fault for leaving you stranded for so many years, and now I'm breaking your heart..."
When Father Nie said this, his eyes became red and his voice was choked.
Looking at the strand of white hair growing on his father's temples, Nie Yao fell silent.
This strand of white hair shouldn't have appeared at his age. Perhaps he has been exhausting himself in trying to find her...
"Ayao, I am not a good husband to your mother, and I am not a good father to you..." Father Nie sighed softly. He originally wanted to reach out and hug Nie Yao in his arms, but when he thought of her resistance, he finally let go of his outstretched hand.
How he wished that Nie Yao could act like Nie Jinxi and rush into his arms, but he knew that this was destined to be just a delusion. It became a delusion ever since he lost his own daughter and found her more than 20 years later!
It is a great comfort that Nie Yao can now stand in front of him safely!
"I shouldn't have ignored your feelings and insisted that you conceal everything for the sake of the Nie family's reputation and Nie Jinxi, even lying to others..."
Father Nie smiled bitterly and shook his head, whispering, "But I hope you know that your grandfather and I didn't choose you as our heir just to make up for it!"
He paused here and continued, "Of course, we won't force you. If you want to continue your studies, go ahead. If you want to continue archaeology after graduation, I will set up a foundation to sponsor your archaeological career. Just remember to come home when you're tired..."
Nie Yao never expected her father to say that. She was stunned and called out hesitantly, "Dad?"
Father Nie patted the back of her head and said with a faint smile, "Silly child, you are my only biological daughter, and this will never change!"
Nie Yao met his loving gaze, and a myriad of complex emotions surged in her heart. Words came to her lips, but she didn't know how to speak. She could only whisper, "Thank you—"
Father Nie finally couldn't help but stretched out his arms and hugged Nie Yao in his arms.
But this time, Nie Yao did not push him away.
The father and daughter hugged each other quietly for a moment before Nie Yao whispered, "I have something to ask you—"
"You say..." Father Nie quickly replied with a smile.
"When my grandfather was in the sanatorium, did you take Nie Jinxi to visit him?" Nie Yao raised his head and looked at his father.
Father Nie didn't expect Nie Yao to bring up something that happened so many years ago. He looked at her in surprise, shook his head and said with a smile, "No, why do you ask?"
