Chapter 179 Not Expecting You to Be like This (1/2)

“Ning Tao,” Bai Jing said, pushing the door open and entering.

Ning Tao followed Bai Jing inside, pulling out the Unbreakable Fan. He fanned as he walked. Bai Sheng was an old demon, and he had to be on his guard against demons because demons could hurt people.

The room behind the door was spacious and bright, with plenty of Phoebe zhennan. Under the sunshine, the room was full of golden light, giving people a dream-like feeling.

An old man in white stood at the window, his back to the door. He had long white hair and a lean figure. Even though he had his back to the door, Ning Tao felt he was watching him when he walked in. The void of the room seemed to have an invisible net, and everything was under the old man’s control.

“Adoptive father, Doctor Ning is here,” Bai Jing reported respectfully.

Ning Tao greeted, “Senior Bai, nice to meet you.”

Bai Sheng turned around. His eyebrows were black, his eyes bending upward, his lips red and his teeth white. His face had a fine line, and his skin was smooth, without any wrinkles.

His face was definitely better than that of all the handsome young men in the world.

Ning Tao was stunned. He didn’t expect Bai Sheng to be like this.

Bai Sheng grinned, stepped forward and held out a hand to Ning Tao. “Doctor Ning, I’ve heard so much about you. You have lived up to your reputation.”

His voice was thin, not masculine, too feminine.

Ning Tao just came to himself. He reached out and shook Bai Sheng’s hand. Bai Sheng’s hand was smooth, boneless and more beautiful than most women’s.

“Senior Bai, you flatter me. I didn’t think you was such a beautiful person,” uttered Ning Tao politely.

Bai Sheng burst out laughing. The smile was very charming.

Ning Tao suddenly felt as if he was getting along with a special group of people in Thailand, but this feeling was hidden in his heart without any indication. In addition, in this short time, although he did not use the ability to look and smell, Bai Sheng sensed the smell of snake from Bai Sheng. He confirmed that Bai Sheng was also a snake demon.

“Nice talking. No wonder Qing Zhui likes you so much.” Instead of letting go of Ning Tao’s hand, Bai Sheng pulled Ning Tao toward a tea table, saying, “Bai Jing, make two cups of tea. I’ll have a good talk with Doctor Ning.”

“Yes, right away.” Bai Jing went down.

Bai Sheng took Ning Tao’s hand to the tea table before releasing it. “Please sit down.”

As soon as Bai Sheng let go of his hand, Ning Tao breathed a sigh of relief in secret. Ning Tao felt goose bumps the moment Bai Sheng held his hand.

When they were seated, Bai Sheng began, “Qing Zhui is a kid with a hard life. I didn’t think she’d live long, but you came to her life and healed her. You are a cultivating doctor, and such people are very rare now.”

“Everyone has a destiny. I guess my meeting with Qing Zhui was fate,” Ning Tao said.

Bai Sheng raised his eyebrows while looking at Ning Tao and asked, “What about our meeting?”

Ning Tao was tongue-tied. What should he say?

“Ha-ha… ” Bai Sheng smiled and said, “Then I’ll get to the point. Qing Zhui is my daughter. You took her away, but you didn’t give us any betrothal gifts. Is that appropriate?”

Ning Tao said calmly, “Senior Bai, what kind of betrothal gift do you want?”

“That depends on your sincerity,” Bai Sheng replied airily.

Bai Jing brought two cups of tea, putting one in front of Bai Sheng and the other in front of Ning Tao. Then she smiled and said, “Adoptive father, there are a lot of treasures in Ning Tao’s clinic. It is not at all a problem for him to offer a betrothal gift which is worthy of Qing Zhui.”

Bai Sheng beamed and looked at Ning Tao, his pretty eyes full of anticipation.

Ning Tao paused for a moment before suggesting, “How about the tripod in my clinic?”

“Ha-ha.” Bai Jing smirked. “That tripod is too big and too heavy. I can’t move it.”

“Have tea first. There is no hurry about betrothal gifts.” Bai Sheng picked up his teacup and took a sip, looking out the window.

Ning Tao also picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea. It was good tea, tasting clear and fragrant.
