796 Be My Daughter! (2/2)

”You came to kill him. He nearly died because of you…” Zhan Yunfei pointed at Xiao Mufei and said, ”You owe him. He had been living a vagabond life since he was a kid. Luckily, he had a wife. But she was killed a few years after they got married, leaving a five years old daughter. His daughter was killed when she was eighteen.”

”Ah?” The girl was shocked. She looked at Xiao Mufei with regret and sympathy in the eyes. She didn't know that this man had been through such a miserable life, and she nearly killed him with poison.

”Now that you have nowhere else to go, like you said earlier, they will find you no matter where you go. Maybe they will kill you immediately when they find you.”

Zhan Yunfei said confidently, ”I guess you know why he is so nice to you now. Heavens bless you with a face that looks like his daughter. That is destiny that brings you two together. From now on, you just stay with him, be his daughter. Your name remains Rongrong. A lonely old man and a solitary daughter. It is perfect.”

”Ah?” The girl raised her head while looking at Zhan Yunfei. She was shocked.

Zhan Yunfei spoke in a terrifying voice, ”What? You don't want to?”

It should be such a good idea for both Xiao Mufei and the girl. However, Zhan Yunfei made it sound like forcing a young girl to prostitute herself.

The girl slowly turned her head to look at Xiao Mufei. She was a bit shy and worried. There was a complex expression on her face. She seemed longing for something… [Am I… Am I going to have a home? A father?]

…

Xiao Mufei couldn't believe what was happening though. He wasn't quite sure about what he wanted yet. He was excited. He wanted to say something but just coughed.

His cough was shaking. Finally, he asked, ”Well… Girl, do you… want to be my daughter? Do you want me to be your father?”

The girl was shaking. Tears filled her eyes. She felt extremely happy from the bottom of her heart. She spoke in a shaking voice, ”Do… Do you truly forgive me… Do you…”

With tears in Xiao Mufei's eyes, he smiled in a clumsy way. He nodded heavily.

The girl struggled and got up, and then she kneeled in front of Xiao Mufei. She kowtowed to him sincerely and solemnly. It looked sacred and serious. Her body was shaking, but she tried not to. Tears dropped down from her eyes. ”Father!”

Xiao Mufei laughed loudly with tears on his face. He held Rongrong up and said, ”Good girl… Come on, get up… You and me… We stay with each other in Qing-Yun Realm from now on!”

”Your family name is Xiao. Your full name is Xiao Rongrong… Rongrong…” Xiao Mufei's voice was shaking. ”My good kid…”

”Father…” The girl felt the sincere concern from Xiao Mufei. She couldn't help holding him in the arms and crying out with tears.

[From now on, I have a family.]

[I have a home.]

[I have a father.]

[It feels so good.]

[This is the first time to call somebody father. I have dream about my parents countless times in my life. I spoke the words 'father' and 'mother' so many times in the night…]

[There was never response.]

[Now there is.]

[This is family. This is father! I can feel it!]

[Happiness!]

Xiao Mufei was weeping. He spoke slowly, ”You might live in danger for your entire life. From now on, I won't let you get hurt!”

”I will never… let anybody hurt you!”

It was a vow!

He spoke it even in a fierce way!

It felt like he was making a vow to his departed daughter too!
