“…” Ye Tianxin looked at Xie Xuning without blinking and said solemnly, “Uncle Xie, Elder Brother Li isn’t causing any trouble.”
Xie Xuning also felt that this was wrong of him, but he couldn’t help himself. He wanted to get close to Ye Tianxin and to speak to her.
“Qingcang’s alcohol tolerance has always been very good.”
Ye Tianxin stood at the door. Truthfully, if it were not for the fact that Xie Xuning was Elder Brother Li’s uncle, she would have left impatiently.
“Uncle, if you don’t need anything else, can I go now?”
Xie Xuning thought, ‘Why am I so unwelcome? What did I do?’
Ye Tianxin looked at him like he was a plague.
“Your name is Tianxin, right?” Xie Xuning asked casually. “Your mother must have loved you very much to give you such a nice name.”
Ye Tianxin replied stiffly, “You might have to ask my mother about that. I don’t know.”
“I have no ill intentions towards you,” Xie Xuning said matter-of-factly.
Ye Tianxin nodded. “I know you have no ill intentions.”
However, he was suddenly so friendly to her, so she felt very alarmed and terrified. Who knew what his true intentions were?
“I’ll be returning to the capital soon. When Qingcang wakes up, please tell him.”
“Alright.”
Xie Xuning felt slightly uncomfortable.
He returned to his room, packed his things, and went downstairs with his luggage. He only had a small travel bag.
He walked into a breakfast café that Ye Linlang used to frequent and ordered a serving of Goubuli steamed buns.
Then, when he turned around with the buns, at a glance, he saw Ye Tianxin sitting next to the window.
When Xie Xuning sat next to Ye Tianxin, his expression became gentler.
“Tianxin, I think it was meant for the two of us to meet.”
Ye Tianxin was eating Goubuli steamed buns, and she choked when she heard Xie Xuning’s words.
Why did he show up again?
It was like he was stalking her.
“Uncle, you and I, even if we are fated, it’s probably a wretched fate…”
Ye Tianxin didn’t know how to respond to Xie Xuning. From last night to now, she had encountered him a couple of times. She was a little irritated that he kept popping up but knew she had to maintain civility because he was Li Qingcang’s uncle.
If Xie Xuning hadn’t been a middle-aged man, she would have thought of the cheesy romance novels.
Xie Xuning couldn’t let it go—he really felt that he and Ye Tianxin were destined to meet.
This city was said to be neither too big nor too small. As for other encounters, it can be said that the place was too small.
But to bump into each other in this century-old breakfast café, it was really a fateful encounter.
At this time, Xie Xuning naturally didn’t know that the girl sitting across from him was his own daughter.
He also didn’t know that his biological daughter had suffered much since childhood.
He simply felt that this girl was a bit like his wife.
Coupled with so many fateful encounters, Xie Xuning naturally paid attention to Ye Tianxin out of instinct.
Moreover, there was a father-daughter bond between the two of them. No scientific studies could explain this kind of connection.
“Have you packed breakfast for Qingcang?”
Ye Tianxin thought, ‘Didn’t he notice the takeout box on the table?’
“Help me pack another portion for Qie Yiyan.”
Xie Xuning summoned a waiter. “Waiter, I want servings of Goubuli steamed buns and porridge for takeout.”
“Okay, Sir. Please wait a moment.”
When the waiter left, he instinctively glanced at Ye Tianxin.
“Are you two fighting? Between family, there’s nothing that can’t be talked through.”
