บท 125: Xu Je'er's Lover

"Are you… my daughter's lover?"

The question almost made me puke all the tea that I had earlier. I looked at the old man in front of me in disbelief. What did he just… say? I must have misheard him!

"I can see that you are having a hard time answering my question. Let me rephrase it. Do you perhaps, love my daughter?"

"Excuse me, Mr. Xu but I think we have a huge misunderstanding." I was thankful that Xu Je'er went to her room.

"Misunderstanding? I often wondered why my daughter never had any lover in the past. She was and still is, a stunning young woman. And yet, for some reason, she focused on working and proving herself to me." He eyed his tea and let out a loud sigh. "I did not know how my daughter thinks of me. However, I never thought that she would keep this secret from me."
