After disembarking the yacht, she sat on the car which drove her back home.

Ning Yuan kept silent the whole duration.

He was not willing to speak, so Weiai also kept her mouth shut.

Her sixth sense told her that he was deeply in love with Tong Hua. He treated her with such care and gentleness. If her face was the one that had to do with Shen Shaobai keeping her with him, why did Ning Yuan go into a daze while looking at her face?

What kind of emotion would be so deep? There was nothing she could think about other than love!

As she reached the front of her house, Weiai’s face darkened upon thinking about how she was about to meet Meng Xinlan. She turned her body and was about to open the car door when a hand enveloped hers. “Little girl, do you need me to accompany you?”

“If you go back with me, there would be no explanation that I can offer.”

Weiai rejected him without hesitation with a shake of her head.

After leaving home for so long and bringing a man back so suddenly, her father would definitely fly into a rage. She looked down at her hand that was being enveloped by his and pulled them away unnaturally, avoiding his touch.

“Little girl, your father might have offended someone. Remind him to be more careful.”

Ning Yuan sighed after sensing that Weiai was trying to keep a distance from him and gave advice out of concern.

Suddenly, the calm Weiai turned to look at him with a look of concern on her face.

“I have conducted an investigation. Meng Xinlan is heavily involved in entertainment places. The reason she married your father is that she appeared intentionally in front of your father once! I am guessing that there is someone behind this. I know that she tried to harm you, and you hate her and want to expose her! However, little girl, listen to me. To find out who is behind all this, try not to get into a conflict with her for the time being so that you won’t alert the enemy. It might harm your father.”

Hearing this made Weiai think about her current predicament. She hated Meng Xinlan to the core!

If it was not for her, she would have never met Shen Shaobai and turned into a replacement. Meng Xinlan, this evil woman, she would never let her get away free!

Looking at Weiai frowning, Ning Yuan reached out and wanted to straighten her brows for her. “Little girl, don’t worry. I will help you.”

“No, thank you. This is my personal business, I will settle it myself.”

Interrupting his kind offer, Weiai spoke calmly. She then opened the car door and left the car.

She did not want to owe Ning Yuan too much, so she would not accept his help. This was because she knew very clearly that if it wasn’t for her relation to Tong Hua, a rich man’s son like him would never look at her twice.

Weiai stopped in her tracks upon thinking about this and turned around. “Ning Yuan, I hope that you can keep this secret forever.”

“What?”

At the car window, Ning Yuan did not understand what Weiai meant.

However, Weiai gave a forced smile and said in a sorrowful tone, “No matter whether I am related to my father by blood or not, I will always love and respect him! As for the Tong Family, I have no interest in it and I do not want to know the results of your investigation! This should stop here, what do you think?”

Ning Yuan did not expect that Weiai was talking about this issue.

She did not wait for him to reply and continued on her way. It was as if she was only informing him. He shook his head, smiling. “Alright, little girl. I promise you.”

He watched as the girl disappeared out of his view before he shut the car windows. She was a kind girl. The Tong Family was rich and powerful, yet she chose her father over it. She did not care about prestige. A heart like hers was hard to come by!

“Ding—”

Weiai pressed the doorbell and thought about Meng Xinlan’s worried expression when she saw her.

Very quickly, the door opened and a chubby middle-aged lady appeared in front of her.

Upon seeing Weiai, she was shocked. “Young… Young Mistress…”
