【Latest Report】Tomorrow is the 515 anniversary celebration of Starting Point, the day with the most benefits. In addition to gift packages, this time's '515 Red Envelope Frenzy' is definitely worth watching. Why wouldn't you grab a red envelope? Set your alarm!
"Don't go." Bai Su pulled Ouyang Hao, who was about to get up and leave, back down and smiled, "They are just playing around, why do you need to go?"
Ouyang Hao was taken aback, still not understanding who Bai Su meant by "they." He was clearly going to check on why his daughter was screaming.
Bai Su held Ouyang Hao down. He had just entered the room, and she hadn't had the chance to tell him about Yun Tianmo. No wonder he misunderstood. While pouring him tea, she began to share the "reliable news" she had learned during dinner with Ouyang Hao, her expression filled with joy as if she had already accepted this son-in-law.
After a busy day in the palace, Ouyang Hao did not expect that the first news he would hear upon returning was not that his daughter was back, but that she had brought her fiancé home. Oh dear, he suddenly felt a headache coming on as he looked at the tea Bai Su had prepared for him and gulped it down.
"Hey, take it slow, be careful it's hot!" Bai Su couldn't stop him in time and saw Ouyang Hao forcefully swallow the tea, his expression not looking good. She immediately scolded him, "You're grown up now, why are you so impatient!" Although she complained, she had already grabbed a cloth and handed it to him to wipe his mouth.
Ouyang Hao was indeed flustered. After all, having his daughter bring home a fiancé wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but the choice of fiancé made it hard for him to stay calm. He had dealt with Yun Tianmo before; not to mention the recent incident regarding Ouyang Zixin discovering the Millennium Ruins, which deeply proved how cunning he could be. Not only did he let his teammates down, but he also made them feel grateful towards him. How could he live with such a man as his son-in-law in the future?
Ouyang Hao felt troubled inside, but how could he express this to Bai Su?
Seeing Bai Su so happy, Ouyang Hao couldn't bring himself to speak. Moreover, from her words, it was clear that their daughter likely had feelings for Yun Tianmo.
"My lady, there's no rush. Xin'er is still young." Every father feels the same way. When it comes to marrying off their daughters, they are a thousand times more reluctant than mothers. Naturally, Ouyang Hao was no exception.
"Husband, listen to me." Bai Su glanced out the window; although there shouldn't be anyone outside at this time, she cautiously leaned out to check. Then she closed the window behind her. "I wasn't in a hurry about this matter either, but with everything that's been happening recently..."
What worried Bai Su were the issues concerning the Bai Clan. This point was something Ouyang Hao understood immediately; however, what did these matters have to do with marrying off their daughter?
"Yes, it may not matter much, but isn't Yun Tianmo from the royal family? If he can protect Xin'er, then perhaps Bai Zhan wouldn't dare to do anything to her." Bai Su hesitantly expressed her thoughts, feeling a bit guilty towards Ouyang Hao, as if it implied that he was incapable of protecting their daughter.
Seeing Bai Su's guilty and conflicted expression, Ouyang Hao sighed deeply. He gently stroked Bai Su's hand and said, "Stop overthinking. After all these years of marriage, do you think I don't understand your thoughts?"
Realizing that Ouyang Hao wasn't upset with her, Bai Su relaxed slightly and looked at him with hope. "Do you think my idea is feasible? Will Xin'er blame me later?"
Although Bai Su's intention was to protect her daughter, she worried that pushing her daughter onto another man might lead to unforeseen consequences. Not only did she fear how Yun Tianmo would react if he found out, but she was also concerned about whether Xin'er would resent her. Just like years ago, when her own mother had arranged a marriage for her, it was meant to be for her benefit, but it ultimately wasn't the happiness she desired.
Now, watching her daughter interact with Yun Tianmo, it seemed better than her own experience back then, yet uncertainty lingered. What if after marrying, Yun Tianmo treated Xin'er poorly? What then?
The more she thought about it, the more variables emerged. The joy on Bai Su's face faded completely, replaced by a slight pallor, and her hands began to tremble slightly.
Seeing that Bai Su was getting stuck in her worries again, Ouyang Hao helplessly pulled her into an embrace. "When will you stop scaring yourself like this?"
Bai Su's approach was straightforward; the effectiveness was uncertain. However, considering the royal family of Cloud Nation, they seemed to have an advantage against the Bai Clan. While comforting Bai Su, Ouyang Hao contemplated the feasibility of this plan. Yun Tianmo was undoubtedly an excellent man; if he truly cared for Xin'er, he would treat her well in the future and not allow anyone to bully her. With support from both Dream Nation, Exiled Nation, and Cloud Nation, her safety would be significantly enhanced.
"Perhaps we can give it a try. My dear, should we ask Xin'er what she thinks tomorrow?"
Hearing this from Ouyang Hao, Bai Su realized he had already agreed halfway and quickly nodded in agreement.
"What happened at the Matriarch's today?" Since Ouyang Hao had been away all day, he naturally wanted to check in. However, his question plunged Bai Su back into distress.
Oh dear, what on earth happened today that could change my wife's mood so drastically with just one question? It felt like a rollercoaster ride. But once asked, those words were like spilled water—impossible to take back. All he could do was press on: "If you're tired, we can talk about it tomorrow."
"Xin'er seems not to like her grandmother very much," Bai Su said gloomily. She had spent the entire afternoon caught between her mother and daughter; reflecting on it now left a bitter taste in her mouth.
For some reason, when Ouyang Hao heard that his daughter was not very close to her grandmother, he felt a hint of secret joy and slightly breathed a sigh of relief.
"There’s plenty of time ahead, no need to rush..." Ouyang Hao knew well what it meant to know when to stop. Some things could just be mentioned briefly; it was better not to pursue the details. After all, if he really wanted to know, he could find out tomorrow just as easily, so there was no need to ask Bai Su about it.
"It's late; let's get some rest," Ouyang Hao said as he stood up and helped Bai Su toward the inner room. "You’ll have to manage things at home while I go to the palace these next few days."
Baike was currently in the palace. To prevent any situation where Baike might be abducted, Ouyang Hao went to the palace every day, hoping to receive firsthand news when she woke up.
"Look at you, just rest."
The night deepened;
The wind grew cooler;
The dreams became sweeter...
"Ah! Yun Tianmo, you rogue!"
If it weren't for that sudden scream breaking the tranquility, this night would have been even more beautiful.
