Chapter 97 - 97. Departure I (1/2)

Third person POV

Xu Tingfeng: ” You guys don't know how it feels to see your daughter leave your side.”

Xu Yongzheng: ” Aiya~ Don't be a crybaby. That kiddo will surely take care of her.”

Xu Tingfeng turned his head to glare at Xu Yongzheng that was lying leisurely on the floor.

Xu Tingfeng: ” Then how about you?”

Xu Yongzheng: ” Huh?”

Xu Tingfeng: ” Do you give your blessing to them?”

Xu Yongzheng: ” Actually I want to say no but when I imagined myself in his position, maybe I would pray so that I get the blessings from my wife's family.”

Xu Tingfeng: ” So?”

Xu Yongzheng: ” So yes, I give my blessing to them.”

Xu Tingfeng sighed in defeat, he had decided to give his blessing to them from the beginning. He just wanted to see what Weisheng would do to obtain his blessing.

Xu Tingfeng: ” Fine, I give you my blessing. You can marry her after you are done with the mission.”

Weisheng: ” Yes, father in law.”

Weisheng's face was stoic when he replied to Xu Tingfeng but they could hear the excitement in his voice. Hong er's heart thumped when she heard about the mission, her heart was beating really hard as if it wants to tell Weisheng to stay. But she knew that it was an important mission and she trust Weisheng would accomplish the mission safe and sound.

Weisheng excused himself from the hall and preparing to depart for his mission. Hong er talked with her parent and Xu Yongzheng for a while before she excused herself to chase after Weisheng. They let her go and felt guilty when they saw her worried face. Hong er's instinct had saved them a bunch of times, if Hong er say she had a bad feeling,, it meant something bad would happen.

Qiyi and Qier were tying Weisheng's and their luggage on their horse while Weisheng was looking at a map. Hong er ran to the main gate and saw Weisheng's broad back, her heart felt heavy and she started to get breathless, she really didn't want him to go for this particular mission. She slowly walked towards Weisheng, she stretched out her arms and hugged him.

Weisheng had sensed her presence from afar but he was curious of what she was going to do so he was pretending to be unaware of Hong er until she hugged him. He could feel her body was shaking, he immediately turned around and hugged her back. He caressed her back to soothe her and guided her to breathe normally.

Weisheng: ” What's wrong?”

Hong er clutched his shirt and buried her face into his chest. She really want to tell him to cancel this mission or let other people do it but she couldn't be egoist. She inhaled his scent and her body started to relax in his embrace.

Weisheng: ” Hong er?”

Hong er didn't reply to him for a few second, she took a deep breath and braced her heart. Her mouth was opened but no words could come out from her throat, her breathing was uneven. Weisheng noticed that she started to get panic again, he gently patted her back and whispered to her ear.

Weisheng: ” It's fine, take it slowly.”

Hong er 's heart calmed a little bit after listened to his soft whisper.

Hong er: ” Sh-sheng ge, promise me…”

Weisheng: ” Hm?”

Hong er: ” Pl-please come back safely.”

Weisheng: ” I will.”

Hong er: ” If you are surrounded, retreat. Don't be reckless.”
