Chapter 668: Expectation

Chapter 668: Expectation

"Miss, are you awake?" Xiao Yun asked in a low voice. She sensed some movements from inside and thus tried to ask.

"I'm awake."

Nan Hua didn't have any problem with sleeping while sitting. She could even sleep when she was standing, much less when she was sitting like this. It was indeed not the most comfortable position, though.

"Master Nan had ordered that Miss may return to your quarter for breakfast," Xiao Yun said in a low voice.

"Mhm."

The door opened and Xiao Yun walked inside. She didn't know where Nan Hua went last night and had no intention of asking those questions. Helping Nan Hua to wash up, Xiao Yun proceeded to help Nan Hua stood up and led her outside. It was normal for maidservants to lead their miss or help them out. And since Nan Hua was supposed to be 'weak,' this should be a good show in front of others.

Nan Hua walked out of the ancestral room and looked at her surroundings. Nan Shu Cheng's Residence was decorated nicely but many plants around the ancestral room had long died. This place was often forgotten and not many people came.

Her eyes narrowed slightly as she noticed Nan Shu Cheng stood not far from the stone path. He looked in her direction with icy gaze as if he was looking at his enemy rather than his daughter.

After thinking for a moment, Nan Hua curtsied. "Father."

Nan Shu Cheng's eyes flashed. He snorted. "Have you learned your lesson?"

Nan Hua didn't answer and merely stared back at Nan Shu Cheng with her clear gaze. There seemed to be nothing that her black obsidian eyes concealed, yet at the same time, it looked as if it contained the secret of the world. Clear yet deep and hard to guess. No emotion could be detected.

How he continuously destroyed the young Nan Hua's expectation.

How he punished her in the name of disciplining his daughter whilst making things difficult for her.

How he forced her to listen to what he did to her mother.

And with each image Nan Hua recovered, she could faintly understand how the original story went that way. Seeing how Long Qian Xing treated her so warmly and kindly, it would be hard for anyone not to be moved. And with him being the original Nan Hua's fiancé, it was only natural that she would treat him as hers.

She didn't want to give him up to anyone.

But looking at those images, Nan Hua didn't think that the original Nan Hua would ever truly love Long Qian Xing.

Growing up in that kind of environment would certainly affect the original Nan Hua's judgement towards men and probably made her distrust them.

Seeing how a man could treat his wife so... the original Nan Hua might not even have any expectation of her marriage. All she wanted from that marriage was the high status and also the protection Long Qian Xing would give her.

After all, the original Nan Hua still stayed in Nan Shu Cheng's Residence and couldn't leave.

Old Master Nan in the original story couldn't do anything because his failure at the joint war put him in difficult position. He could only watch from the side as his granddaughter lost everything following the downfall of the entire Nan Family.

And when the original Nan Hua finally died, only Old Master Nan and Nan Luo were grieving.

And Nan Hua's death also signified Feng Ao Kuai's death.

Nan Hua's eyes glimmered when she thought about this. The original Nan Hua was close to Feng Ao Kuai? When did it actually happen?
