“Father!” Snow Lotus exclaims, her eyes teary and wanting to argue some more. However, the indifferent gaze coming from her old man told the distressed lady all she needed to know and how fruitless it would be.
Without any extra hesitation, she turns and stepped out of the hall with a strong level of unstableness.
Father can’t fool me, he only wants to keep the Divine God Pill because of that annoying Moon (little sister). Just because Moon’s talent is superior to mine that they are willing to be so unfair to me? I can’t let this go on. Cousin Wen Yi have already been wronged, I must get him the pill at all cost!
Gradually, Snow Lotus’s figure had straightened out with a firm steadiness in her strides.
“Father, don’t blame me, it’s you who forced me!” She mutters while giving a casting glance at the hall behind herself.
In this world, there’s no one who could give Snow Lotus a sense of security aside from her so called strong and powerful cousin.
After leaving the hall, the resentful lady directly went over to Wen Yi’s courtyard where the man was already waiting anxiously.
“Big Cousin…” Without surprise, she bursts into tears and threw herself at him.
Wen Yi caught the girl of course. Wiping some of the tears with his finger like a gentleman, he dives right into the main topic: “So did you get it? Did Uncle give you the Divine God Pill?”
Appearing apologetic in her face: “My father did not want to give me it. Big Cousin, it looks like we will need to look for an alternative method at this rate.”
Towards Lotus’s answer, the guy expected it as much and didn’t get angry. Even so, he couldn’t hide the touch of disappointment in those eyes.
This woman is really stupid, she can’t even get a stupid pill for me. If not for the fact that the Snow Clan only has her and that young Moon as the next heir, I wouldn’t even consider this stupid woman. She has neither brains nor body, it disgusts me so much!
Having thought that, Wen Yi did not forget to keep up his gentleman act when the girl faced upwards to meet his gaze. Softening in his voice: “Lotus, you know I only want to rely on my own ability to grow, I do not want you to suffer in my stead. Regarding the Divine God Pill, you mustn’t go to Uncle again, understand?”
That worked as expected because Snow Lotus’s mood grew even more guilty and conscious of her own failure.
Cousin Wen Yi is so amazing, he never asks for others to help him. Why must Father misunderstand him as such….
“Cousin, I will not let Father continue to misunderstand you. He will learn sooner or later who is the better option for being the Snow Clan’s son-in-law! It’s all that Bai Xiao’s fault, he must’ve been spouting lies to him in secret and making you look bad!”
Wen Yi didn’t buy that theory of course in the way he narrowed his eyes in at that last remark. He’s not stupid like this Lotus, the guy could tell Bai Xiao could care less about the Snow Clan based on his attitude alone. That leaves only one answer, the one behind his semi exile state was the chief who saw through his plan!
“I know my sweet Lotus, I know…. Bai Xiao lusts after you, that’s why he framed me so that he could get Uncle to side with him. I won’t let him do that, I promise you. I will let everyone in the Snow Clan know how much I love you through my own strength and not by taking advantage of others.” That said, the sweet talker reaches out with his hand and caressed the girl’s hair in a soothing motion, those eyes radiating a doting love usually found in a pair of love birds.
