Chapter 338 - I believe you. (1/2)
Later at night it got very hard for Guang to leave her room and get to her friends. Chen Xing was kept around her to keep an eye, so that she could not get a chance to reach her friends. But her father has always miscalculated her strengths and weaknesses.
After her cousin sister got into her beauty sleep, she slipped out the room to get to Lifen's room. When she was on her way, suddenly light footsteps were heard in the corridor. She turned around to look if she could find a place to hide herself from the eyes of the person who was coming.
But there was none, not a single corner could help her. She has already braced herself in getting caught when her eyes fell on her father who was coming from the opposite direction.
There was a fury in his eyes when he looked at her. His steps increased its pace as he walked towards her. He was about to lash out on her when suddenly a smooth voice came from behind her. ”Ms. Zhou, here I got you a bottle of water”
Zhou Chang Hai's eyes instantly got softened at the person to whom the voice belonged to. That was none other than Ning Xui Ying. He strutted towards them as if he was there all time and has left for only a few seconds only to come back again.
As he came to her, he handed Guang the bottle of water he had and then looked forward with a little surprise expression. ”Mr. Zhou, you are also here?” His words implied as if he wasn't expecting to see him at this time.
Zhou Chang Hai gave out an awkward laugh as if he didn't understand his words. ”Hahaha … I was just on my way to my room and found Guang out here roaming. The wedding events are on line and will become hectic for her if she doesn't take proper rest. I never expected that she was out with you”
”Oh! I know you care for your daughter a lot. So I won't mind the attitude of yours, the moment before when you come dashing towards her so furiously. But this should be the last time you acted this way in front of her. She is going to be my wife soon and I don't like anyone to give her this kind of attitude”, his voice was soft but not his tone. His eyes were adding the chilly flavor of danger to let him know that the consequences will not be good if the actions are repeated again.
Guang was also dumbstruck at his words. No one has ever sided her in front of her father. She has never thought that she would be protected by him and that too in this severe way. She was sure that she had not talked a single word with him, let alone had a conversation, yet here he was helping her to escape from her father's wrath.
No, this wasn't an escape; rather he has come forward to become a shield that will protect her for the rest of the future. Her eyes got fixed on his face as if trying to understand the reason behind his such protective actions. But however she thought she still couldn't reason it.
To her this was just a marriage fixed by her father to gain some business investments. In that situation, he should be siding with him and asking her where she was going so late at night. But he was still helping her out.
Zhou Chang Hai can now no more show his ignorance when his words were so clean and clear giving a warning to him. ”Ah you must have misunderstood my intent towards her. I never tried to scare her or yell at her. But still I will mind my actions in future. You are right, she is going to be your wife. I can't disrespect her”
He tried to make the things go easy and thought Ning Xui Ying would accept his words but against his thoughts he simply nodded and then said, ”If you understood my words then can I have some words with Ms. Zhou alone?”
”Hahaha … sure! How could you interrupt you two. I will take my leave then”, he said hurriedly and left. Guang was here with Ning Xui Ying. How can that be? His daughter would never accept his arrangements that easily then how did she accept coming out with him now?
Was she prepared to ruin his plan by having direct conversation with him?
When her father was no more in the sight, Ning Xui Ying turned to face the woman who was staring at him like he was some mystery and she has got a responsibility to solve it.
