One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire’s Sweet Love - Chapter 4768

4768 Never Too Late to Love (175)
The day would come when another man would hold her hand, and no matter how hard it would be for him to let go, he’d have to hand her over.

But… No matter which man, if he bullied her or made her cry, even if she were willing, he’d better not find out about it. Because even if she would forgive the man, he would not. Nevertheless, his heart was warmed by what the girl said.

Why else would people believe that a daughter is her father’s lover in a previous lifetime?

How heartwarming.
“Daddy, can we not go home tonight?” Mu Yueyao felt rather aggrieved. After all, she reeked of alcohol. Even if Mu Yazhe would protect her, she’d get a thorough scolding from Yun Shishi if the latter caught a whiff of it. She had no intention of incurring her mother’s wrath. Because…

No matter how much Mu Yazhe protected her, he was both a father and a husband. His only request to his daughter was to try not to anger her mother.

Yun Shishi was an understanding person and would never be unreasonable. But if she were to find out that her daughter had gone drinking again, she’d be furious.

Mu Yazhe read her mind. “Why? Are you afraid that Mommy will get angry when she smells the alcohol on you?”

“I promised Mommy I wouldn’t drink.” Mu Yueyao sighed and sobered up a little. When she thought of how unhappy her mother would be, she started to get nervous.

Mu Yazhe gently flicked his finger against her forehead. “You knew yet you went ahead and drank.”

“…”

He asked again, “Have you sorted things out in your head?”

“What?”

“You’ve drunk your fill and messed around for long enough. Have you got your thoughts sorted out?”

Mu Yueyao raised her head and looked into his eyes in a daze. Suddenly, she took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice, “I…”

“Not quite yet?”

“I’ve thought it through.” Mu Yueyao finally said solemnly, “I’ve decided to forget him and move on.”

For some reason, his heart ached even more when he saw his daughter’s nonchalant expression.

Did he understand that she had not moved on? She was full of reluctance and heartache, but she had decided to let go. She was too disheartened and unwilling to wait.

“I know that there are some things that cannot be salvaged, but I won’t allow him to trample on my pride anymore.”

“I’m glad you’ve thought it through,” her father said mildly.

“Daddy… I really envy you and Mommy.” Mu Yueyao let out a heartfelt sigh. “The both of you share such a great relationship. I hardly see you fighting. Ever since I was a child, I’ve thought that if a man came along who would dote on me like how Daddy dotes on Mommy, I’d give up everything for him.”

“That’s impossible.”

“Why?” Mu Yueyao was a little puzzled and retorted, “Daddy isn’t the only good man in this world.”

Mu Yazhe smiled. “But there’s only one Daddy in this world.” While Mu Yueyao was in a daze, the man continued, “There’s also only one Mommy in this world. My relationship with your mommy can’t be replicated.”

“Can’t be replicated…”

“It’s the same for relationships. You can’t ask another man for what you want from Daddy.”

It was unclear what deeper meaning Mu Yazhe’s words held.

Mu Yueyao felt that his words were a little complex and hard to understand. “What do you mean, Daddy?”

“It’s fine if you don’t understand.” He gently stroked her hair and said, “Go back to your room upstairs and sleep for the night. Come home with me tomorrow?”
