Chapter 1112: I’m Willing
Covering her mouth, Lu Man cried silently .
She never thought that Wang Juhuai would think this way .
That he did not mind and even treated her like his daughter .
“Before I married your mom, I got wind that Han Dongping wasn’t satisfied with you . Not satisfied that you didn’t have any background and that Qingwei had nothing . That you’re too ordinary and that he picked faults with you left and right . So I brought Qingwei to the city council’s dinner,” Wang Juhuai said .
Lu Man nodded, remembering .
“At that time, I thought that I’ll never let anyone look down on you and Qingwei . One is my intended wife, the other is her daughter, which makes her my daughter . Though I may not be someone powerful, I’m still quite an influence; people won’t dare look down on both of you . In the eyes of others, not only are you Lu Man the actress, Lu Man the wife of Han Zhuoli, you’re also Lu Man, the daughter of Wang Juhuai . Snobbish people like Han Dongping will not treat you both with disdain . ”
“It’s alright if you don’t want to call me Dad . I can understand . ” This was because Lu Man was no longer a child and he really was not her father .
It’s normal for her not to get used to a different form of address .
“But I just want to let you know that even if you refuse, you’re still my daughter . You can ask me for help for anything, anytime . Tell me if you encounter any grievances outside . I…”
“I’m willing,” Lu Man blurted out .
Wang Juhuai had actually mentally prepared himself for Lu Man’s rejection .
He kept telling himself that it’s normal, there’s nothing to be disappointed about .
As long as he treated her well, she’d come to accept him as her father one day .
He was startled upon hearing Lu Man’s reply .
“I’m willing,” Lu Man said again . “It’s just… I never thought that you’ll think this way, I…”
Lu Man took a deep breath . “I never hoped to experience any fatherly love in this life . I just felt that the best-case scenario was you and Mom living a good life while I treat you with the right amount of respect . I never thought that I could call you Dad . ”
“When you told me I could, my mind went blank . I never thought that I could have a father one day . ” Hearing this, Wang Juhuai knew that Lu Man did not consider Lu Qiyuan her father .
“Having a father to love me, protect me, and support me…” Han Zhuoli could do all of that as well, but it was still different from a father’s care .
Han Zhuoli wanted to say that he could do it too but kept his mouth shut considering the current atmosphere .
Lu Man’s tears never stopped though she cried silently .
Her lips were trembling terribly .
Xia Qingwei’s eyes were red-rimmed too .
The child was reacting this way precisely because someone had thrust fatherly love upon her when she never had one before!
“Good girl . ” Wang Juhuai choked . “I’m your father from now on, and what’s past is past . Dad will protect you, love you, and support you . My body’s in great condition and I’ll keep it that way for another 30, 40 years so that I can protect you for another 30, 40 years! Don’t you worry!”
Wang Juhuai grew a sense of pride .
“Though you haven’t experienced any fatherly love for the past 23 years, you will in the next 30 to 40 years,” Wang Juhuai said as he smiled .
