Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 668

Chapter 668: Expectation

"Miss, are you awake?" Xiao Yun asked in a low voice. She sensed some movements from inside and thus tried to ask.

"I'm awake."

Nan Hua didn't have any problem with sleeping while sitting. She could even sleep when she was standing, much less when she was sitting like this. It was indeed not the most comfortable position, though.

"Master Nan had ordered that Miss may return to your quarter for breakfast," Xiao Yun said in a low voice.

"Mhm."

The door opened and Xiao Yun walked inside. She didn't know where Nan Hua went last night and had no intention of asking those questions. Helping Nan Hua to wash up, Xiao Yun proceeded to help Nan Hua stood up and led her outside. It was normal for maidservants to lead their miss or help them out. And since Nan Hua was supposed to be 'weak,' this should be a good show in front of others.

Nan Hua walked out of the ancestral room and looked at her surroundings. Nan Shu Cheng's Residence was decorated nicely but many plants around the ancestral room had long died. This place was often forgotten and not many people came.

Her eyes narrowed slightly as she noticed Nan Shu Cheng stood not far from the stone path. He looked in her direction with icy gaze as if he was looking at his enemy rather than his daughter.

After thinking for a moment, Nan Hua curtsied. "Father."

Nan Shu Cheng's eyes flashed. He snorted. "Have you learned your lesson?"

Nan Hua didn't answer and merely stared back at Nan Shu Cheng with her clear gaze. There seemed to be nothing that her black obsidian eyes concealed, yet at the same time, it looked as if it contained the secret of the world. Clear yet deep and hard to guess. No emotion could be detected.

Looking at Nan Hua, Nan Shu Cheng snorted. Whenever he looked at her, he always seemed to be able to see a shadow behind her. The shadow of his deceased wife who used to be the person who stayed by his side but had died because of him.

His fingers clenched into a fist.

"Stay inside and be obedient. You will only make things difficult for yourself if you go against me." Nan Shu Cheng snorted.

When Nan Hua first came to Nan Shu Cheng's Residence, he was being very careful because he wanted to avoid rumors. Now that Nan Hua had stayed here for a few months, it was time for him to put her in place.

Nan Hua looked at Nan Shu Cheng and asked in neither loud nor small voice, "Would you pay attention after all these years?"

Her words contained grievances that seemed to stem from the bottom of her heart, but the tone she used was so flat and indifferent. It caused a mismatch that could disturb even the calmest heart.

And Nan Shu Cheng was not an exception.
