Mei Hanqing just had an accident, and Qiu Shuihan knows it. Now that Qiu Shuihan has come to find him at this time to have a chat, Ye Xunhuan instinctively thinks that Qiu Shuihan wants to talk to him about Mei Hanqing!

In fact, Ye Xunhuan was not wrong, because Qiu Shuihan indeed wanted to talk to him about these things.

"Mei Hanqing is alright now, right?"

Ye Xunhuan's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly shook his head and said, "It's fine now!"

"That's good!" Qiu Shuihan slowly leaned back on the sofa and then said, "Do you have a cigarette?"

Ye Xunhuan hurriedly fished out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket, lighting one for Qiu Shuihan.

Qiu Shuihan took a gentle puff, slowly exhaling a thick cloud of smoke, and said unhurriedly, "Wasn't Ruoxi pretending today?"

Ye Xunhuan was stunned and was about to say something when Qiu Shuihan's voice came again, "She is my daughter; she grew up before my eyes. I know what kind of person she is better than you do."

No one knows a daughter better than her father. It's not a lie. Qiu Ruoxi is Qiu Shuihan's daughter and has been with him since childhood. How could Qiu Shuihan not understand his own daughter?

Although Qiu Ruoxi didn't seem different from usual today, she was overly affectionate and loving towards Ye Xunhuan, almost as if trying to cover something up. Qiu Shuihan immediately spotted the clues, but he didn't bring it up at the time.

As soon as Qiu Shuihan said this, Ye Xunhuan fell into silence, lighting a cigarette for himself and taking a gentle puff.

"I was young once, too, and I've been wild." Qiu Shuihan said lightly, "I was even an admirer of your mother back then!"

Ye Xunhuan was taken aback. He never expected Qiu Shuihan to be an admirer of his mother, Qin Fenghuang.

"But your mother was high up, and I knew it was hopeless!" Qiu Shuihan said indifferently.

Ye Xunhuan didn't speak, knowing Qiu Shuihan had more to say.

"Of course, I've had some romantic escapades. After all, when young, people often do things against their morals!" Qiu Shuihan said lightly, "The key is how you handle it."

"Dad, I..."

"I won't comment much on your affairs. You're not an ordinary person." Qiu Shuihan interrupted Ye Xunhuan directly, "But I only have one daughter, and I've always treated her like a precious jewel, afraid to break her if I hold her or melt her if I taste her."

"Even though you're Qin Fenghuang's son, I must tell you that I, Qiu Shuihan, will never watch someone bully her!" Qiu Shuihan's voice and expression suddenly changed at this moment: "Anyone who dares to bully my daughter is forcing me to fight them with my life!"

"Including you!"

With that, Qiu Shuihan's sharp gaze fell on Ye Xunhuan, making Ye Xunhuan's heart skip a beat.

Ye Xunhuan had never seen Qiu Shuihan like this before, nor had he ever seen such a penetrating gaze from Qiu Shuihan!

This gaze was fierce and sharp as that of a Hai Dongqing, making people intimidated!

For a moment, Ye Xunhuan only felt immense pressure when facing Qiu Shuihan. It felt like a towering mountain blocked his path, not only unscalable but insurmountable.

Is Qiu Shuihan an ordinary person?

The answer is definitely not!

Qiu Shuihan is definitely not an ordinary person, especially with the Xiahao family there!

How could Xiahao Yunting let his daughter marry an ordinary person to live a life?

However, how powerful Qiu Shuihan really is, Ye Xunhuan has never known, because Qiu Shuihan has never acted in front of him, and Ye Xunhuan has seen such a sharp gaze for the first time.

"Dad, don't worry, I will never hurt Ruoxi!" Ye Xunhuan immediately vowed confidently.

Qiu Shuihan gradually shifted his gaze away from Ye Xunhuan, and the sharpness in his eyes slowly disappeared as well.

"Xunhuan, you have not become a parent, so you do not know the feelings of a parent for their child!" Qiu Shuihan said softly, "Just like you don't know how much your mother loves you!"

"Maybe you feel your mother has kept many things from you and you resent her, but when all these truths are revealed, you will find how much both your father and your mother love you!"

"Dad, do you know who my father is..."

"I don't know!" Qiu Shuihan immediately shook his head, "And I don't want to talk about this with you right now. I only want to talk to you about my daughter!"

Ye Xunhuan fell silent again.

"Xunhuan, in those days, your marriage to Ruoxi was arranged by your mother. At that time, I knew we were reaching above our station, and even now, I know we are." Qiu Shuihan said softly, "But you must remember that as the daughter of Qiu Shuihan, she is not to be slighted by anyone!"

"Otherwise, I will go mad, and even the entire Xiahao family will go crazy!" Qiu Shuihan emphasized, "All of us are watching Ruoxi; she is our only motivation."

Not being parents themselves, people can never truly understand the love of parents.

Perhaps you once felt they were a nuisance, but as you grow up, get married, and have children, you gradually begin to understand the difficulties they once faced!

"Dad, I know, I can't promise you anything else, but I will definitely love Ruoxi well." Ye Xunhuan declared solemnly, "I will not let her down, nor will I let anyone bully her. Anyone who dares to bully her must step over me first!"

"Including you!"

Upon hearing these firm words from Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Shuihan's face showed a satisfied expression: "With your words, I am relieved. I have nothing more to say!"

With that, Qiu Shuihan slowly got up and walked towards the door.

When Qiu Shuihan just opened the door, he immediately saw Qiu Ruoxi standing outside.

The two were caught off guard by the unexpected encounter.

At this moment, Qiu Ruoxi's eyes were red, and her face was filled with complicated emotions!

The next moment, Qiu Ruoxi threw herself into Qiu Shuihan's arms: "Dad..."

"It's okay, silly child, it's okay!" Qiu Shuihan revealed a gentle smile, gently stroking Qiu Ruoxi's hair, "Whatever happens in the future, just tell Dad. If the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you, understand?"

Qiu Ruoxi didn't say a word, lying entirely in Qiu Shuihan's arms, sobbing.

Meanwhile, in the welfare home, a masked man appeared with ghostly swiftness at the door of Ming Yue's room and quickly opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, a shadow of a leg whistled toward him.

The next moment, the masked man swiftly raised both hands, directly blocking the leg.

"Ming Yue, no wonder so many people couldn't find you all these years; it turns out you've been hiding so well and have aged so much!"
