Miss, you really caught the wrong fish!

She nodded, without denying it.

"Um"

After hearing his daughter's affirmative reply with his own ears, even if Murong Xuan didn't believe it, even if he tried to deceive himself and comforted himself by saying that it was all just a coincidence...

But everything is useless in the face of the bloody facts.

"Snapped--"

210.Father and Daughter

The howling cold wind blew the withered branches and leaves, and it was like a believer seeking light alone in the dark night, stubbornly resisting the wind. But no matter how hard it struggled, it would eventually settle.

The sky is where the birds go, not where the leaves fall.

“Bang!——”

A crisp sound echoed through the originally silent corridor. The chill in the air seemed to be more severe than the wind and snow.

Ning Murong turned her face away in a daze. The woman's originally beautiful face, the originally fair and delicate skin, was now covered with large patches of blood red.

Three strands of black hair fell down in disarray, with a few strands covering the woman's forehead. In the dim vision, one could not see her current expression clearly.

Between those rosy lips, blood was slowly seeping out from half of them...

Just from this, one can see how hard Murong Xuan hit her—

Murong Xuan has never been a strict father. On the contrary, ever since Ning Murong came into the world, the man has devoted his most precious energy and time to her. Even his love for his wife is beyond compare.

Since childhood, he had indulged Ning Murong to the point of doting on her. As a father, he would do his best to satisfy his daughter as long as she wanted to do something, no matter if it was reasonable or unreasonable...

As for beating and scolding - except for the time when she was at home, Murong Xuan had never scolded Ning Muxuan loudly in the ten years since he raised her. As for physical assault, it was unprecedented.

He has always played the role of a good husband who is conscientious and responsible, and a kind and weak father...

——And now, the man's hand hanging high in the air also indicates that he has shattered everything, all the past, and all the "responsibilities" he had assumed as a father...

Looking in front of him, the daughter whom he once doted on, the one whom he was willing to protect even at the cost of everything, now stood before him tremblingly with half her face red and blood flowing from her mouth.

His heart was like a sharp blade stabbed into his heart, constantly cutting off his flesh and blood.

Murong Xuan gritted his teeth, tears welling up in his bloodshot eyes. He stared at his daughter, the pain, sadness, and helplessness in his eyes were all mixed together, and finally suppressed by Sheng Tian's anger, bursting out in an instant -

"Ning Muxuan!!! What on earth do you want to do!!? He is just a child under ten years old!!! How could you be so harsh to him!!?"

"What else do you want to do next? Kill Xiao Qin!!?"

"He treats you better than his own sister!!! Even Liu'er, as your mother, can't help but feel jealous when she sees this!——"

"But what about you!!? How did you treat him!!? Either you treated him coldly, or you trampled on Xiao Qin's preference for you at will!!"

"Now—you even want to hurt him!!!"

"What on earth are you thinking!!! What do you want me to do to satisfy you!!? Tell me, tell me!!!"

Murong Xuan's emotions collapsed instantly, and even his voice became more and more out of control, even with a serious tremor. Full of anger, he roared and questioned the other party unscrupulously. The cheeks that were originally gentle and beautiful on weekdays were now bulging with veins, stained with blood red and gloomy——

Ning Muxuan still kept her head down. If one glanced at her, one could see the hideous blood-red color that could not be covered by the woman's dark hair...

Her eyes were dim and lifeless, staring at the ground below, her pupils trembling, and blood still oozing from the corners of her mouth.

Faced with her father's out-of-control scolding, Ning Muxuan simply bit her red lips and clenched her hands tightly, no longer as fierce and unruly as before.

Because what the other party said was all bloody facts. No matter how sad and regretful she was, she had no right to argue at all...

——If Mu Xuanxuan knew that Ning Muxuan had intended to hurt the boy from the beginning, I am afraid that the confrontation between the father and daughter would usher in a real and irreversible collapse——

Facing Ning Muxuan's silence and unwillingness to confess even a word to him, Mu Xuanxuan was extremely disappointed, and his unprovoked anger became more intense. He raised his hand in the air again and again, but finally dropped it helplessly.

In the man's eyes, in addition to the rage that permeated them, there was also a hint of deep sadness.

He tried his best to control his emotions, clenched his teeth, and once again mentioned in front of his daughter the words that both father and daughter would never forget in their lives, the wound that was almost incurable...

"If...if Xue'er saw you like this, I don't know how sad she would be."

“!——”

To this day, even Ning Muxuan herself didn't know how long it had been before she heard her mother's name from her father's mouth again.

The woman's heart trembled. It was no longer about the boy. The grievances and resentments in her heart seemed to have finally found a way to vent.

She suddenly raised her head and looked directly at her father. Her bloodshot green eyes were filled with hatred and resentment.

The cold and beautiful face was full of coldness. The woman didn't care about the bloody taste in her mouth. She bit her red lips again and retorted coldly:

"Mother?"

"Father, what right do you have to mention mother's name now? Haven't you and that woman been together for a long time, and even married?!"

"You are the one who betrayed me with a high-sounding name and trampled on my mother's love. Isn't it you?!!!"

As Ning Muxuan's cold words fell, Mu Xuanxuan, who was originally in a state of high emotional pressure, was also stunned. There was also a bit of shock in his eyes when he looked at Ning Muxuan...

The matter between him and Liu Qingqing had been kept secret from Ning Muxuan from the very beginning. At that time, she had already been immersed in the pain of losing Xue'er and was unable to extricate herself.

And everything he is doing now is not only for himself, but also for his daughter, so that she can have a brand new life again, instead of being trapped in the memories of the past.

After several years, he finally understood Liu Qingqing's character and personality, and realized that she was a trustworthy person. He was also deeply attracted by her positive and cheerful attitude towards life. That was the key to breaking the dead silence and depression between the father and daughter...

Mu Xuanxuan's original plan was to wait until the time was right before confessing everything to her daughter.

But now it seems that it is very difficult to get Ning Muxuan to initially accept such a new family.

Not only that, she has even done something so bad as to hurt Xiao Qin.

From another perspective:

This made Mu Xuanxuan feel somewhat fortunate - how correct it was to not tell her daughter directly about the matter.

If not, what else Ning Muxuan would do is something Mu Xuanxuan couldn't even imagine...

------

I've been updating twice a day these past few days, Xiao Xuanzi is really a bit overwhelmed

However, there is still a new update in the early morning tonight.

If you don't give me votes, it's really too much. Xiao Xuanzi just lowered himself under the bridge and wrapped himself in a quilt.

Xiao Xuanzi has a full class today, and also has to participate in the student union activities. I have already finished one chapter at noon and didn't sleep. I will update two more chapters in the evening.

The audience must be very moved.

211. From the moment I fell in love with her, I was trapped in her life

"You already know..."

"hehe--"

Ning Muxuan sneered, looking at the father in front of her. On the girl's cold and pretty face, there was a hint of a smile, with a tinge of scary blood, which looked so terrifying and ironic.

"If I don't tell you, then how long are you going to keep it a secret from me, father?"

"Or do you want to have a baby with that woman first? Then you can tell me with a clear conscience that these are my real family members - right!?"

"!?——"

Ning Muxuan's words made Murong Xuan stunned. If Ning Muxuan knew that he had a relationship with Liu'er, she must have discovered it through other clues or details in life.

Then the matter about "children" was what Liu'er talked about with me yesterday -

So... in this way, the thing that I was most worried about at that time still happened.

The person at the door of the room that night was not Xiao Qin who was sleeping on the sofa on the first floor, but Ning Muxuan who lived on the second floor.

She had heard the conversation between herself and Liu'er, so she now showed such strong hostility and hatred.

But these are obviously not the most important things. Mu Xuanxuan suddenly thought of something, and his pupils trembled suddenly. He hurriedly questioned Ning Muxuan in front of him.

"So - this is why you hurt Xiao Qin last night!!?"

"..."

When her father mentioned the boy's name again, Ning Muxuan's heart was shaken a little. A trace of regret and uneasiness flashed in her green eyes, and she was sad.

At this point, the woman slowly lowered her eyes and stopped talking.

——Even such a small emotional fluctuation of his daughter was still captured by the meticulous Murong Xuan.

Just as he said to Liu Qingqing before leaving, "No one knows Ning Muxuan's character better than him."

No one knows a daughter better than her father, and this is the case...

When Mu Xuanxuan learned the truth, she was stunned for a moment. Her face was full of shock and confusion, and her lips were trembling.

"Just because of such a ridiculous reason, you want to kill Xiao Qin!?"

Mu Xuanxuan was panicked and angry, but also felt very guilty and remorseful.

Because, if what Ning Muxuan said was true - it was because of the "child" that he chose to hurt Xiao Qin.

Then, the moment I agreed to Liu'er's proposal that night, I had already become an "accomplice"!

The suffering the boy is going through now is inseparable from himself, and it is even the result of his own indirect actions...

The two who were originally in a state of alternating offense and defense became the perpetrators at this moment. It was because of the existence of the father and daughter that Xiao Qin and Liu Qingqing, who were completely unaware of the situation, were hurt.

Unconsciously, the Qin family mother and son have become the sacrifices and victims abandoned in their fight...

At this moment, Murong Xuan stood in the cold wind, facing the biting cold. His mind was full of thoughts, and he had lost all the momentum and anger he had just had. What was left was only the sadness of being a failed father and the dignity of being a man...

Murong Xuan's tightly clenched hands loosened powerlessly at this moment. All the strength in his body seemed to be drained away in an instant, his shoulders drooped, his eyes dimmed, and his heart was filled with unspeakable regret and guilt. It was as if thousands of silver needles were densely piercing his heart, causing him great torment.

After a while, Murong Xuan took a deep breath and looked at his daughter who was also silent.

-Anger can't solve any problems

This was the truth that Murong Xuan understood best, but now he was also dominated by anger and lost his reason, and he inadvertently hurt the people closest to him deeply...

The man continued to calm his fluctuating emotions and let reason take the lead again.

——At this moment, the most important thing he should do is to end this meaningless quarrel as soon as possible, get things back on track, and finally try every possible way to make up for the mistakes he and Ning'er had made, and make up for the trauma they had caused to the Qin family...

The man's eyes slowly regained clarity, and facing his daughter, he once again spoke softly and explained to her

"Ning'er, I don't mean to deceive you. I have indeed been dating Liu'er for a long time, and even cultivated a relationship with her for several years. At this point, I can be said to have completely understood her..."

"Ning'er, I can assure you. Whether it's you or Xiao Qin, Liu'er will give you all her love without reservation, without any distinction or favoritism."

"The reason why I didn't plan to tell you all this at the beginning was not because I deliberately concealed it. It was because I was afraid - I was afraid that you would do something stupid in your current state, and I didn't dare to take the risk. This would be extremely unfair to them, to Xiao Qin and Liu'er..."

"Looking at the results now... Ning'er, do you still think my choice was wrong? Do I really want to betray Xue'er and abandon you?"

The man breathed slowly and explained to her quietly. Ning Muxuan naturally knew what the "result" her father was talking about was...

——Even in this situation, she almost killed the boy, if it weren’t for her mother’s guidance…

If she knew about the other person's existence from the beginning, what extreme things would she do...

Ning Muxuan lowered her eyes, not daring to think about it any further. Now she already knew what she had done to the boy and what a sin she had committed.

——She failed to fulfill her mother's expectations. Not only did she not live well, but her hands... were almost stained with "fresh blood"

Whether it was towards her mother or the boy, the remorse and guilt in her heart had already weighed her down to the point where she was almost suffocating...

Ning Muxuan wiped the blood from her lips. The other hand on her arm was already trembling slightly. She turned away and asked her father calmly:

"Then why didn't father ever think of giving up from the beginning? Even if it was just me and father, we could still live well, why did we have to abandon mother's existence? In this way-"

"Ning'er"

A gentle voice called out, a voice that belonged to the memory of a frail but deeply doting father...

Ning Muxuan inadvertently raised her eyes and looked at her father in front of her——

He was smiling gently, his smile was so helpless, sad, and vicissitudes, but between the corners of his mouth, there was still a hint of bitter happiness.

"Ning'er, do you know..."

"From the moment I fell in love with your mother, she would be my lifelong lover"

"Until her death, ... I don't want to see you go down the same path as me and be trapped there for the rest of your life. This is the sadness of repeating the same mistakes."

"Your future road will be long - the one who loves you and is worthy of your love will need you, and you will also long for him."
