Chapter 595 - Give Up, Alright? (2/2)

She pushed open the door. Inside, Bai Zhenfeng sat on a chair; and a picture remained his hands. Bai Luoyin's eyes shimmered for a moment. He was thinking about her mother again. She really envied her mother; she had a man who loved her so much.

”Dad…” She approached him. However, when she saw the picture in his hand, her expression changed. That picture was not a picture of her mother—it absolutely wasn't. It was a family portrait. Beside a woman stood a boy, and in her arms, she was carrying another child… a very happy family. However, there wasn't a man of the house. Because at that moment, the man was carrying his own daughter and refused to be in the picture.

Of course, that child was her, Bai Luoyin.

Why wasn't he looking at a picture of her mother and looking at a picture of Wei Lan's family of three instead? Did he not love her mother anymore?

”Dad…” she called out again. It was only then that Bai Zhenfeng placed down the picture in his hand. His expression looked a little unnatural, especially the moment he saw Bai Luoyin. He placed the picture down backward, unable to understand why he felt so out of sorts when he looked at the picture.

”Luoyin, take a seat. Dad wants to tell you something.” Bai Zhenfeng cleared his throat. It was the same feeling again; however, it wasn't as perplexing as before. Bai Luoyin obediently sat at one side.

Bai Zhenfeng only looked at his sole daughter then. Since young, he had always doted on her, even more than anything in the world. After all, he only had this one daughter, biological daughter. It was just that he had forgotten that he actually still had two adoptive sons. These two children… he had watched them grow as well. To say that he didn't feel any attachment to them would be a lie.

Thinking up to here, he suddenly felt shocked. He couldn't help but say, Gao Yi's words seemed to have stabbed into someplace deep in his heart, making it unnaturally contract and bringing him an unfamiliar sense of pain.

Bai Luoyin felt slightly unsettled. Didn't her father say that he had something to tell her? Why was he just looking at her without saying anything? Her heart suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness just because she realized that an apologetic look flashed across his eyes.

”Luoyin, give up on Gao Yi, alright? Dad will find you a better person. Let's give him up. Actually, he isn't that great, right?” After deep contemplation, he finally chose to give Gao Yi up because he really didn't want his daughter to give her heart to a man who didn't love her and end up missing out on her entire life.

Bai Luoyin's face instantly paled; even the bottom of her feet felt like they were splashed with cold water. She frantically shook her head. ”Dad, you're joking with me, right? I have already waited for him for so many years. Didn't you say that you would make Gao Yi marry me? That I would become his wife? Why did you suddenly change your mind?”

She was shocked and scared. She really couldn't believe that her dad would say something like that. She didn't want to lose. She never thought that she would lose. She thought that regardless of which woman was currently by Gao Yi's side—in the end, the one that he was going to marry would be her… not anybody else. She was Bai Luoyin, Gao Yi's ex-love Bai Luoyin.

Bai Zhenfeng softly let out a sigh and reached his hands out, placing it onto Bai Luoyin's head. Although Gao Yi wasn't his biological son, it didn't mean that he didn't understand him. Gao Yi was extremely stubborn; the things that he had decided on— how could it be easily changed?

That's why, in order to avoid harm, actually giving up was the best option.

”Luoyin, a relationship without love, what do you want that for? Dad just doesn't want you to be mistreated,” he spoke gravely and earnestly. He was somebody who had been through it; he understood what that kind of marriage would bring in the end. It wouldn't end with love.

Bai Luoyin endlessly shook her head. ”Dad, I'm not afraid of being mistreated. What I'm afraid of is waiting for all those years in vain. I'm even more afraid that after leaving him, I won't have any more joy in my life. I don't want anybody else, I don't want anyone else.”

She didn't want that—she really didn't want it. She didn't want to lose Gao Yi, and she especially didn't want to lose to that woman.

Bai Zhenfeng gently caressed Bai Luoyin's hair. Everything that he had wanted to say, he had already said them clearly. He really loved Bai Luoyin dearly, and it was really dearly. That's why, in the future, he wouldn't joke about her happiness anymore.
