Chapter 387 With Dad protecting me, a lifetime of smooth sailing
Ning Yao was not stingy in showing off her White Flame Blood Jade, especially since it was originally a sacred object of the Si Sect.
She thought for a moment, then stretched out her fair and slender fingers. Soon after, a clear liquid, like spring water, flowed out.
Ning Yao's fingertips had no wounds, and the spiritual spring seemed to be coming out through the pores of her skin, delicate and sweet.
Both doctors collected some and took them back for research.
With Si Longshen's condition stabilized, Si Ruonan looked at Ning Yao, and before speaking, glanced at Wen Tingye.
"President Wen, we have some internal matters to discuss. Please excuse us for a moment." Si Ruonan's voice was cold, but his attitude was still polite. He raised his arm and made a gesture of 'please'.
"Inside?" Wen Tingye raised an eyebrow at Si Ruonan, showing no sign of backing down. His tone was even somewhat teasing and mocking, with a rising tone at the end.
“Yes, it’s within the Si Gate.” Si Ruonan emphasized the word.
Wen Tingye smiled and said, "Then who do you think is in charge of the Si Sect?"
Si Ruonan replied, "Of course it's the sect leader."
Wen Tingye: "It's good that you know."
After saying this, Wen Tingye sat down on the sofa in the bedroom, casually crossing his long legs, a wicked smile on his lips.
Si Ruonan even thought that if there were servants in the room, Wen Tingye would also ask for a glass of fine vintage red wine.
Si Ruonan's lips twitched, thinking to herself: How can this person be so shameless?
He understood Wen Tingye's meaning, of course. His words were useless to Wen Tingye. In the Si Sect, Wen Tingye only listened to Si Longshen.
However, Si Longshen is currently unable to speak, and judging from his attitude, he clearly likes Wen Tingye.
"Never mind, maybe next time." Si Ruonan originally wanted to talk to Ning Yao, but seeing Wen Tingye's attitude, he instantly lost interest in the conversation.
Ning Yao keenly sensed that Si Ruonan had something to say to her, but Wen Tingye stubbornly refused to give them a private conversation, so she had no choice but to give up.
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that she and Si Ruonan don't have anything to talk about alone.
"Mr. Wen, I'll be heading back to China now. I still need to examine the old man." The old doctor said goodbye to Wen Tingye before leaving.
"Thank you for your hard work." Wen Tingye stood up from the sofa, his attitude respectful, without the slightest hostility towards Si Ruonan.
If Ning Yao hadn't seen Wen Tingye's attitude towards Si Ruonan just now, she would have really thought that this man was a gentleman, kind and polite.
After everyone in the room had left, Wen Tingye sat back down on the sofa and lazily waved to Ning Yao.
Ning Yao didn't go over, but sat down opposite Wen Tingye and looked at him leisurely.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so hostile towards Si Ruonan and the others? They're not with An Qiulu either."
"It's Si Ruonan who lacks tact. Given our relationship, am I an outsider?" Wen Tingye said with a cold laugh.
“I think he’s about my age, but his eyesight is far inferior. This spot isn’t very useful either.” Wen Tingye said, pointing to his head and tapping his forehead lightly with his fingertip.
“Of course you’re not an outsider to me, but to the Si Sect…” Ning Yao had only gotten halfway through her sentence when Wen Tingye gave her a cold glance, and she suddenly couldn’t finish her sentence. She had no choice but to awkwardly change her words.
"But to the Si Men, you and I are outsiders."
Upon hearing this, Wen Tingye's brows instantly relaxed, and a fierce, unruly look returned to his face.
“My people and the people of Simen will do their best to heal Silong Shen. His tongue is not damaged, and his ability to communicate will gradually recover with subsequent treatment, so you don’t need to worry.”
“I know that.” Ning Yao nodded; she was indeed aware of that.
However, she cannot make a decision right now. Given Si Longshen's physical condition, it is impossible for her to abandon him and return to the country.
Even if she goes back, she will still have something on her mind and won't be able to leave with peace of mind.
But if she doesn't leave, and stays here for too long, what will happen to things back home?
The company can be entrusted to Chen Xuezong with peace of mind, but what about the children?
Ai Xiu and Bao Ying are still young and need their mother's company. Ning Yao is also worried about the older children.
"Go back." A hoarse male voice rang out.
Ning Yao turned her head in surprise and looked at Si Longshen, who was being helped out of the bedroom.
He had changed into a clean long gown, and his long hair had been washed and trimmed into a simple style. He was still thin and needed help to walk, but he looked to be in good spirits, much better than when we first met.
Even though his face was disfigured, one could still vaguely make out Si Longshen's handsome features. He was once tall, upright, and dashing.
It's no wonder that such a gentle and refined man could make her mother fall so deeply in love with him, unable to extricate herself.
Wen Tingye raised an eyebrow imperceptibly; he hadn't expected Si Longshen to be able to speak.
However, Si Longshen's voice sounded a bit strange, like the sound of chalk drawing on a blackboard, which was not very pleasant to listen to.
Ning Yao was shocked. Her cherry-red lips parted slightly, and she could only utter a single word, "you," before the rest of her words got stuck in her throat, and she could no longer make a sound.
Si Longshen can actually speak! What did he just say? "Let's go back?" Go back where? Who's going back?
Ning Yao was confused for a moment, but she quickly calmed down and watched as the servants of the Si family helped Si Longshen to sit down on the sofa.
Si Longshen's legs were trembling, making it difficult for him to walk, but he showed no discomfort on his face, instead appearing calm and dignified.
Back then, without Bai Yanxuefei's autonomy in choosing his successor, the sect leader would naturally assess his abilities when selecting the next successor, and it was not easy for an ordinary person to be chosen.
After all, Si Longshen was once the heir of the Si family, so his abilities are not lacking.
Since Si Longshen came out of the bedroom, his gaze had never left Ning Yao. He looked her up and down with gentle eyes. Even without saying a word, Ning Yao didn't feel anything wrong with Si Longshen's gaze; on the contrary, she felt a sense of warmth.
“Your staying at the Si Gate won’t do me any good. I have a doctor to treat me, so you don’t need to worry about me. Go back,” Si Longshen said in a hoarse voice.
His voice was no different from a duck's quack, deep and raspy, hardly pleasant to listen to.
Ning Yao, as a daughter, has never fulfilled her filial duties for a single day. She is powerless to help her mother, and as for her father...
“I haven’t fulfilled my responsibilities as a father for even a single day, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
Seemingly sensing Ning Yao's inner turmoil, Si Longshen tried his best to speak clearly, his voice already out of control. He wanted to sound kind and gentle so as not to frighten his daughter.
"As for the matter of the successor of the Si Sect, you can take your time to consider it. You don't need to care that Bai Yan Xue Fei chose you, nor do you need to care about the opinions of anyone else. Just look at what you want and whether you want to be the sect leader of this Si Sect."
After saying so much, Si Longshen was starting to feel exhausted and began to pant slightly, appearing somewhat tired.
That's what he meant; what he cared about most was no longer the Si Gate, nor his own life.
He only wanted his only daughter to live happily and freely in this world, pursuing everything she wanted.
This way, she won't have to worry about anything or have any more troubles.
"Dad will respect your opinion and do everything in his power to protect you and ensure your safety and well-being throughout your life."
