17 Just Once (1/2)

When Han Jie snapped out of it, she quickly followed her father.

As a small revenge, Han Jie made sure to bump into Jonah and she passed him. She deliberately kept on ignoring Jonah even when he was glaring at her.

Jonah gave up dealing with her and ended up choosing to mingle with her father's security.

Because of that, she tried hard to not snicker or laugh but it was hard to do so. Han Jie may be an artist but that couldn't cover for her terrible acting.

At this thought Han Jie suddenly stopped walking. Since she was bad at acting, there was no chance the plan would work which made her more nervous for the dinner later.

With that in mind, Han Jie ran towards her father's room and knocked loudly, ”Father?”

Han Jie frowned and looked at her father's guards. She caught them knowingly looking at her.

Through clenched teeth, ”Father?” Han Jie knocked again.

Then before she could continue, Han Feng suddenly opened the door and stepped out of his room. He was humming as he walked past his daughter.

”Father,” Han Jie quickly followed behind him. However, the man went to the restroom and he closed the door without speaking to her.

Frustrated, ”Father!” She screamed while still standing by the door. Instead of knocking, Han Jie kicked the door instead. ”Ouch!” She felt like crying as her small foot was now painful because of her kick.

Why her father does needs to use the comfort room in the hotel living room when there was one inside his suite?

Someone amongst her father's security laughed and coughed to cover up when Han Jie looked at them with a glare. Even Jonah was also hiding his amusement with her situation.

Finally, her father stepped out of the comfort room. By this time Han Jie was on the verge of crying. Her father sighed heavily as he massaged his forehead.

”What is it Jie'er?” her father finally asked after sitting down. Han Feng was bracing himself against the antics of his daughter.

Han Jie hurriedly sat across him then grabbed the drawing pad she left on the table before placing it on the side of his newspaper.

Through all this, she was glaring at him. It still had the written words 'get married to avoid loneliness'. Han Feng almost glared at her.

She was not done yet as Han Jie made sure to flip her drawing book and force him to see her other 'masterpiece'.

Han Feng released a heavy sigh, then he reached for his forehead and started massaging it because he felt like having a headache.

He was not sure what went wrong in his daughter's life to be interested in such things to the point where she would focus everything that had on it.

Why couldn't she be what 'he' wanted her to be?

”I hear your doctor friend is here, what's his name again?” he asked eventually instead of getting angry. Han Feng had known his daughter's aim all along.

”Bai Min.” Han Jie replied still glaring. ”You can't change the topic, father. We still have time until later before you regret your decision.” She said trying to threaten.

Han Feng snorted, ”Are you going to sabotage your sister's engagement and ruin her reputation?” He asked although, Han Mei running away was already enough. He was not even sure where she was at this moment, which made him worried. ”Jie'er, just do it once. I will use all my power to find your sister before the next step to the marriage. Just do this favor for me once.”

Han Jie may have seen how worried and tired her father was. It was the first time. It felt like he was more pleading than demanding. Because of that, Han Jie had no choice but to nod in agreement.
