C16 (1/2)

After hearing the sound of the door closing, Meng Zhiwen's worries were finally relieved.

Remembering the words Yi Yuanze said when he left, Meng Yunhan sneered and shook his head, telling himself not to think too much into it. He wouldn't even consider his own safety.

”Bang, bang, bang …” A series of knocks sounded out from outside Meng Zhiwen's room.

The Meng Yunhan now did not plan to go and talk to her father, she did not even want to talk about it from the bottom of her heart, ”Dad, it's time to eat, I'm already hungry, if you do not come, the food will get cold.”

Meng Zhiwen opened the door and looked at his daughter who was laughing merrily, ”Come, let's eat.”

None of them seemed to want to talk about what had just happened, or perhaps they were all thinking about what had just happened.

Meng Zhiwen continuously grabbed the food from Meng Yunhan's bowl, only stopping when the bowl was completely full.

Looking at the full bowl of food, Meng Yunhan was already at a loss as to where she should start eating. In the end, she could only put down her chopsticks helplessly, looked at her father, who was sitting opposite of her, with his head lowered without saying a word, and said: ”Father, if you have anything in your heart, just tell me directly. I'm your daughter, and you can't hide it from me.”

Actually, Meng Yunhan did not want to start a conversation on this topic, but looking at her father's lack of appetite, she felt that if she did not tell her father about some things last night, none of them would be able to sleep, much less eat.

”Little Han, since you said you were my daughter and I can't hide anything from you, then you should know what I'm thinking and what I'm going to say. But I also know that whatever you decide is useless no matter what I say.” Meng Zhiwen put down the chopsticks in his hand and sighed deeply.

Yes, Meng Yunhan naturally knew what her father was going to say and was clear that no matter what her father said, she would not compromise.

”Dad …” ”Are you sure you won't go tomorrow?”

Meng Zhiwen shook his head and smiled bitterly: ”Xiao Han, don't blame Father. It's not that I don't want to bless you, it's just that I don't know how to bless you yet.”

”But Dad, I want your blessing.” Meng Yunhan knew her father's helplessness, but no matter what, she did not wish for herself to hold her father's hand and walk across the red carpet while they were getting married.

”Xiao Han, don't make things difficult for dad. Dad is a bit tired, so he should go back to his room to rest. You should get some rest as well.” Meng Zhiwen was not in the mood to eat anymore, and he did not want to continue staying here. He needed to calm down by himself and digest everything that had happened in the past few days.

Looking at her retreating back, Meng Yunhan did not stop him. She was only stunned for a few seconds after her father returned to his room, and then she started to eat, although her tears were rolling down her face, Meng Yunhan did not mind them. She held onto the food, wishing that she could eat up all the food her father had made on the table.

In the room, Meng Zhiwen sat blankly on the side of the bed. In his hand was the picture of the family of three from all those years ago. The tears in his eyes uncontrollably rolled down and dripped onto the photo frame.

Although what happened that night was just a small episode, it did not affect the fact that Yi Yuanze was going to bring Meng Yunhan to the Yi family ancestral home the very next morning.

At eight in the morning, Yi Yuanze was already waiting downstairs. He did not call Meng Yunhan, nor did he go upstairs.

Actually, when Meng Yunhan was upstairs, she saw Yi Yuanze waiting for her. But it was precisely because of this that she intentionally delayed for time, and didn't go downstairs so early.

Although Meng Yunhan had originally planned to only need an hour, and drag it out to a total of two hours, it did not affect what happened afterwards at all. Even when she left the room, Meng Zhiwen had never come out from his room.

When Yi Yuanze came out from his room, he opened the door for her in a very gentlemanly manner. Today, his mood seemed to be very good, but even if the smile on his face came from the bottom of his heart, Meng Yunhan would not take it seriously. She would only think that everything that he saw was just Yi Yuanze putting on an act.

”Do we need to buy something?” As soon as she got on the car, Meng Yunhan asked Yi Yuanze expressionlessly. She was not happy, and did not even have a perfunctory smile on her face.

This was the first time she had gone to see Yi Yuanze's family. Even if it was just for show, she was more or less a little nervous inside, and out of politeness, she felt that it wasn't good for her to go empty-handed.

Yi Yuanze smiled and turned to glance at her, and said: ”There's no need to trouble yourself, it's not early anyway, it's good enough that we can rush back for lunch, it's better not to be late.”

From Meng Yunhan's point of view, Yi Yuanze was obviously blaming him for leaving the sect late. Although that was not what Yi Yuanze had in mind, the considerate Meng Yunhan was definitely thinking this way.

Meng Yunhan did not continue speaking and only turned her head to look out the window. She was extremely regretful in her heart, wondering why she had asked him this question just now.
