Xie Nanzhou turned to look at Liu Yin's sleeping face and reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear.
When the man's gaze fell on Liu Yin's face, it was inexplicably tender and lingering.
Liu Yin hadn't even opened her eyes yet when she vaguely sensed the burning gaze in front of her. She let out a soft moan and moved closer to Xie Nanzhou.
Xie An said that your father has arrived.
The man's gentle voice rang out, but when Liu Yin couldn't see him, Xie Nanzhou's gaze was heavy, clearly indicating that he was not happy.
It wasn't a response to the flowing sound, but rather a response to the willow returning to its boat.
Father?
Liu Yin then remembered who the man meant by "father," and she was surprised that he had arrived so quickly.
She nodded nonchalantly, "Okay."
Seeing the indifference on Liu Yin's face, Xie Nanzhou had some guesses about her relationship with Ye Jing.
"Then I'll go check on him first," Xie Nanzhou said tentatively, watching the changes in Liu Yin's expression.
"Okay, you go ahead."
Liu Yin didn't care much about Ye Jing, but she still wanted to see how he would treat Liu Huizhou.
Xie Nanzhou kissed Liu Yin's cheek and said gently, "Then I'll be going now."
After closing the door, the warmth on the man's face vanished, replaced by utter indifference.
Liu Huizhou is really lucky.
Xie Nanzhou straightened his clothes and slightly curled his lips, pondering how to treat Ye Jing.
Logically speaking, Ye Jing is Liu Yin's father, and he should respect him.
But just now, when he mentioned Ye Jing, he noticed Liu Yin's slightly furrowed brows.
Even for a fleeting moment, Xie Nanzhou knew that Liu Yin didn't like it.
When you like someone, you naturally pay more attention to that person's preferences, and Xie Nanzhou is no exception.
If that's the case, he should change his strategy towards Ye Jing.
Ye Jing and Liu Huizhou were led into the house, where tea and pastries were already prepared on the table.
Liu Huizhou glanced at the pastries on the table; they were exquisite and beautiful, but no matter how gorgeous their appearance was, it couldn't hide the person's wickedness.
Ye Jing sat to the side, glanced at the empty seat at the head of the table, then picked up the cup in his hand and looked down at the color of the tea.
Besides swords, his only other hobby was wine; he had little interest in tea. He had noticed the Xie family's courteous treatment, but he wondered what his daughter thought.
Ye Jing put down his cup and sighed inwardly. Oh well, he'd see later.
Looking at Ye Jing's actions and his expressionless face, Liu Huizhou couldn't discern anything from him.
He had no choice but to suppress his thoughts and think about what he should say when he saw his junior sister later.
To be honest, Liu Huizhou never thought his junior sister would suffer any hardship. By hardship, he was naturally referring to her basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter.
His master is the Palace Master of Wuchen Palace, and he has a high status and position. If Xie Nanzhou treats his junior sister badly, his master will definitely not let him off.
However, my junior sister must be feeling terrible.
Thinking about seeing Liu Yin soon, Liu Huizhou felt a long-lost sense of guilt, and for some reason, a hint of anticipation.
Since they were all martial arts practitioners, they were naturally aware of any disturbances outside.
Hearing footsteps outside, Ye Jing subconsciously looked towards the door, but then realized that his daughter was not among the people who came.
The next moment, Xie Nanzhou's handsome face appeared in front of the two of them.
“Uncle,” Xie Nanzhou said with a smile, “Liu Yin often mentions you to me, I didn’t expect to meet you so soon.”
Ye Jing looked up at him, her expression slightly cold. "Where is my daughter?"
Xie Nanzhou smiled calmly, "A young lady should dress up before meeting people. Ayin will be here soon."
Noticing the intimacy in his words, Ye Jing looked at Xie Nanzhou more closely.
With sword-like eyebrows that reach his temples and eyes as bright as stars, his eyes and brows were smiling, making him the kind of person who would easily win the favor of young girls.
He wondered if his daughter would like it. Ye Jing subconsciously glanced at Liu Huizhou.
