Chapter 380 “The Foolish Bai Zhi (1)”
The first to respond here was Di Cang with his domineering gaze: “A son will eventually grow old. When the times come he will have his own wife to love him.”
Now that’s a real shocker. Acting like he’s been struck by lightning, the little steambun gapes his mouth open in horror, Is Baddie Father planning to give me away to someone else? Didn’t Mother say Daddy will try to steal me away when I’m found? How did it end up become the other way around?
“Mother,” frowning with grievance in his eyes, Bai Xiachen turns to his mother for help, “I still feel its better if you pick Godfather instead, he is so kind to me. If not then Uncle Wang from next door is still good. Although he’s a bit ugly on the surface but at least he wouldn’t throw me away to someone else and is rich….”

This time it was Bai Yan who took the liberty to explain less there’s anymore misunderstandings, “He lives next door and is the father of Xiachen’s friend. We only saw each twice so far.”
Sure enough, that swift explanation managed to calm the storming man down instantly: “I thought so. You would never like a man that’s carrying a son around, nor would you like someone that’s ugly. It’s not possible between you two.”
The implications of his words were very direct already. Since they held a son together then she can only like him, and since he’s so seductively handsome then Bai Yan can only like him instead of anyone else…..
Then again, this sort of belief wasn’t without its reasons. Perhaps the woman herself didn’t notice it yet but Chu Yi Feng definitely did. When Bai Yan gets close to Di Cang, her eyes would only have room to accommodate that person and no one else’s.
“Yi Feng….” She murmurs to herself, only then realizing what she has done by ignoring her godbrother. Looking up in shame at the picturesque man’s face, Bai Yan didn’t know what to say in her own defense.
“Her position within my heart can never be replaced even if I can’t have Yan Yan as my own. However, Di Cang, if I ever learn of you failing her then I will exhaust all of my means to bring her back to my side,” his expression remains as calm as ever yet it also carried a threatening factor in there.Because of love he will not force her, that’s why Chu Yi Feng would let her go.
“I will not give you that opportunity.” Di Cang firmly states this in his own defense.
And for similar reasons like the former, he too will never allow Bai Yan to leave his side for the sake of love. Even if that means forcing her to leave with him and make her resent him for a lifetime, he will do it still!
Showing endless sorrow in that smile, Chu Yi Feng then returns his attention back to Bai Yan and recalled the first day where they met.
It was the elders who brought her to their home. At the time he never thought such a woman could ever move him so much, nor did he ever imagine his obsessions would grow to the point where he cannot bear to see her hurt….
“Yan Yan, I respect your choice, but if he ever do you wrong in the future then don’t forget, the Holy Land will always be your home. As long as you are willing then I will always stand behind you.”
Now it was Bai Yan’s turn to be confused. Blinking her big wondrous eyes, she didn’t have a clue what’s going on, My Choice? When did I make a choice?

Nevertheless, she didn’t have any intent to correct that misunderstanding. In her view, its best that Chu Yi Feng can forget the feelings he held for herself. Only like that would it be the best for them both because she knows, she can never return that feeling.
As for the elders watching this on the side, they could only exchange a look of helplessness between themselves.
They pitied their young lord because aside from their precious disciple, the picturesque man over there would only show a face like the winter’s frost to everyone else, that’s how important she was to him. But as the old sayings go, feelings cannot be forced and the three of them can’t exactly force this either.
Of course, that’s only under the premise that Di Cang’s doesn’t disappoint her expectations. If he does though, the three seniors here can swear to the heavens that they will separate the pair if it’s the last thing they do!
