Chapter 1661 “Chu Yi Yi and Bai Xiao (3)”
“This bastard got naked in front of me! He’s clearly trying to do something untowards me while no one is looking, we have to kick him out right away!”
Bai Xiao didn’t lash out at the accusation in this case though. He’s merely sitting on the bedside and taking it all in with an amused smirk.
Get me out of here? I couldn’t ask for a better outcome.
Just now he was indeed open chested; however, he’s not trying to strip in front of the girl nor does he want to have her in this room to begin with. In fact, it was she who barged in when he was applying the medicine to huge wound along his chest. Furthermore, who barges into a man’s room without knocking first?Snow Hawk the chief saw through this of course since anyone could tell what the boy was doing with those bandages and medicine on the table.
Getting gloomy in his face when turning to his oldest daughter: “Lotus, you are being unreasonable here, and no, you are not breaking the marriage arrangement and you will marry him.”
The upset miss stared hard like she couldn’t believe what her ears were hearing: “Father, have you gone mad? Do not be deceived by this person! He can barely stand up on his own, let alone be the host of the Ice Lotus! I say it’s Big Cousin who should be….”
“Enough!” Snow Hawk snaps in exasperated tone, “This is my decision, you will not say more. I don’t care if you want to or not, but you will marry him on the auspicious day set by the matchmaker.”
Bai Xiao’s cold glaring eyes shifted to the older man at that last bit because he never agreed to anything: “I am grateful for the Snow Clan’s help when I was seriously injured, but I won’t be marrying your daughter. My marriage will be decided by own will, not by the dictation of others finger!”
Snow Hawk’s face changed into the form of someone being troubled by a set of disobedient children.
Oh my goodness, one Lotus is already difficult enough to handle, now this teenager is also refusing my judgement! Which part of the Snow Clan is bad? What can’t we give him to refuse the marriage?“Sir Xiao, you don’t know this since you are not from here, but my Snow Clan has a rule passed down through the ages that one who wields the Millennium Ice Lotus must become a son-in-law of the family.” Snow Hawk’s troubled face reforms into a collected elder teaching their ignorant younglings, “You can’t expect me to disregard this rule, can you?’
Bai Xiao only chuckled at that: “Your clan’s rule is yours, what does it have to do with an outsider like me? I will naturally leave on my own after my injuries recovered some more, but if you wish for me to leave right away then I will. As for the debt of helping me, I will also repay it on a later date when my body permits it, that I guarantee.”
A debt was a debt, he owes them and won’t refute that claim. However, no one was going to force him into anything!
Snow Hawk’s smile crumbled a into a thin line of deep troubled thought. Then just as this older man wanted to persuade some more, a irate outcry came from the missy in question.
“Can’t you see Father? This bastard is acting all high mighty in front of us so I will have deeper feelings for him! He knows you won’t let him leave, that’s why he’s pretending to not like me! I’m telling you, there’s not going to be anyone, EVER, to fall in love with him!”
……
That last line was exactly what Chu Yi Yi heard when she arrived outside the bedroom. Normally she would be insulted at hearing her friend being berated in such a fashion, but her eyes had already landed on the young dreamy lad in her mind and that huge gashing wound across the chest! It struck her like a sword in a maiden’s heart.
“Get out of my way!” She shoves Snow Lotus aside who was directly in her way and sped towards the young lad.
