Eva's tone was calm, but her face was turning pale.

Bai Weiran: …………

Oh right, he almost forgot, she's also a yandere.

Even the way they apologized was so refreshing and unconventional.

Xx

Han Di hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and walked down the corridor.

Although the old butler did not say it outright, the implication was self-evident.

Why didn't he think of this before?

Keeping him doesn't necessarily mean he can only be used for our own purposes; we can keep him in the Han family as an official.

Family is also a solution.

Putting everything else aside, even if we can't keep him here, if we can keep a child with his extraordinary abilities in the Han family, then the Han family will definitely make a profit.

Haha, while others are still thinking about making cannonballs, they're making a monster that can block cannonballs with its bare hands.

For the Anda people, personal feelings are secondary; the key is to form strong alliances.

Although Han Di dotes on Eva, he is also deeply affected by her.

But Handy didn't know what Eva thought of the man who saved her life from prison.

He plans to ask his daughter.

As soon as Han Di stopped in front of Eva's study, before he could even knock, he heard voices coming from inside.

Han Di recognized the voice and his expression immediately turned cold.

"Fine! I thought you were a gentleman, but I didn't expect you to sneak into my daughter's room when I wasn't looking." A surge of anger rushed to Han Di's head, and he burst through the door, rolling on the floor before pulling a pistol from behind his back—

Han Di: …………

Bai Weiran and Eva sat at the table, which was wide and about a meter apart.

Bai Weiran: …………

Eva tilted her head, looking puzzled and a little impatient.

"Daddy? Why did you barge in without knocking?"

"Excuse me, baby Eva... wait a minute, what's he doing here?"

Han Di stood up instantly, put his hands behind his back, straightened his expression, and resumed the imposing demeanor of the eldest son of the Han family, squinting at Bai Weiran.

Having a plan in one's mind is one thing, actually seeing it is another.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Han Di's eyes as his gaze swept over the young man.

Eva's voice peeked in softly.

"Daddy, I sent him."

Han Di was immediately surprised.

Because Eva was physically weak from a young age and gradually lost her sight, he began to worry about his daughter.

Living in Anda City, whether in the city itself or in the surrounding areas, is anything but peaceful.

It is essential to remain alert and vigilant at all times.

However, Eva is blind and physically weak, so Handy could only teach her many close-quarters defensive assassination skills and teach her to distinguish the footsteps and breaths of different people.

The training, originally intended for her safety, has made Eva very xenophobic.

Previously, I rarely interacted with anyone other than my family and housekeeper.

"I want to talk to him..."

Eva hesitated for a moment.

She didn't expect Bai Weiran to reject her apology for her pinky and ring fingers, so he asked to have a chat.

She looked bewildered in the cold prison cell.

"What constitutes respect for you?"

"Yes, look people in the eye, don't try to refute them word by word in your mind, and then listen carefully to everything they have to say."

"Is it that simple?" she questioned.

"Did you manage to do something so simple?"

Eva was speechless.

Then he actually brought her back, and they sat in the study, chatting casually.

Eva even felt it was a bit of a waste of time.

She always prioritizes efficiency and wants to be efficient in everything she does.

“I remember someone from my hometown, and there’s a story about him,” Bai Weiran said with a smile.

"Mr. Han, if you don't mind, would you like to sit down and listen together?"

Han Di actually sat down.

He wasn't particularly interested in the story itself, but since it was rare to hear Bai Weiran talk about his hometown, he wanted to learn more about the man.

"There was once an era when many countries stood side by side, and each country tried its best to expand its national power and annex other countries."

“A talented young man came to one of the countries, met the king, and explained his way of governing the country.”

"When the young man first met the king, the king was disinterested and soon dismissed him. The young man then asked the friend who had introduced him to let him see the king again, but he failed again. He asked his friend again, saying that this time he would definitely persuade the king to adopt his way of governing the country."

"Did he succeed?" Eva asked curiously.

"They succeeded. Not only did they succeed, but they also won the king's favor, who bestowed upon them titles and ranks."

His friend asked him in surprise, "How did you manage to do that?"

"He said that the first and second time, he advised the king to be fair and impartial, to follow the principles of public service and not to prioritize personal gain. But for the king, that would take too long. A wise ruler should be famous throughout the world while he is alive. How can he wait for decades to achieve his imperial ambitions?"

"So he suggested to the king a strategy of strengthening the army. The king was delighted, but the strategy of strengthening the army also sowed the seeds of problems."

"Everyone is a pack of wolves and tigers, driven by profit. They raise a pack of wolves to bite outsiders. When the meat outside is all gone and they can't get any more, the wolves can only kill each other and even turn against the people who raised them."

Han Di and Eva were taken aback, and both of them looked thoughtful.

"...Did you tell this specifically to us?" Han Di asked in a deep voice.

"How could that be!?" Bai Weiran's tone was cheerful.

"I'm just sharing an interesting story that I know."

"If you like it and find it interesting, then that's fine."

Eva pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time.

"Is there anything else?" she asked, resting her elbows on the table, her hand supporting her chin, and looking quietly ahead.

"I want to hear more about these stories, much more."

With five thousand years of Chinese civilization, there's not much more to say.

Bai Weiran then began to tell her other stories.

Han Di listened from the side, and the more he listened, the more uneasy he felt.

The girl listened attentively, her face unconsciously leaning forward, getting closer and closer.

But the young man remained motionless, sitting upright from beginning to end, with a calm and composed expression.

The atmosphere was very upright, and the people there were indeed very upright.

...If he continued to act so righteously, he felt that all the plans in his mind were desecrating this man. What was going on?

Chapter Fourteen: I hate him the most!

The moon rose without anyone noticing, shining softly through the gauze curtains onto the antique cabinet by the door, giving the lion-head cabinet door handles a bronze sheen.

Eva took off her blindfold, revealing large, dark gray, almost silver eyes that resembled the thin mist that always permeated the city at night.

When you look into her eyes, it's hard to believe that she is blind.

"And then what? What happened to the story of that big businessman investing in the crown prince?"

Eva became interested in the story of the Warring States period, a time of chaos and the rise of many heroes.

From the time the state of Jin was divided into three parts, we heard that a merchant surnamed Lü was hoarding rare and valuable goods.

Han Di also found it interesting and listened intently, but as a father, he snapped out of it sooner, urging his daughter to rest, and unusually stern-faced when Eva retorted.

"Your health is more important than anything else. A healthy body is the foundation of everything. Don't talk back."

As he spoke, he poked his daughter's forehead with his finger, showing affection and tenderness.

Bai Weiran watched from the side and couldn't help but smile.

In front of Han Di, Eva's arrogance and willfulness immediately subsided. She took Han Di's big hand in one hand, first nodded at Han Di, and then turned to whisper to Bai Weiran.

"Then you'll have to keep talking to me tomorrow. You'll be coming again tomorrow, right?"

Bai Weiran smiled and said yes.

Han Di: ...He felt that his daughter had changed, but he couldn't scold them. He felt very strange.

Bai Weiran didn't stay; he left first, leaving the room for Han Di and Eva.

Han Di was bending down to carry his daughter to the bed when the girl pushed his hand away, gently placing her small hand in his palm and looking up at him.

"...Daddy, don't carry me, I want to walk there myself." The voice was soft, but firm.

Han Di asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Daddy can carry you without any effort."

“No, I want to walk by myself,” Eva said softly.

"Hold me when I need you, and hold my hand when I don't."
