Forbidden Love Chapter 10 (Part 2)
b.u.t.terfly wing like lashes slightly trembled, and eyes slowly opened. Trying to look around at her surroundings, when suddenly a stabbing pain was felt at her left chest did she left out a moan from her pale lips.
"Bing’er, you’re awake." The wooden door was open and in rushed a elder man dressed in gray. He quickly made his way to Bing’er, nervously looking at her.
"Dad ... how can you be here?"
When she heard his familiar voice, Bing’er forgot about her pain and looked at the concern man in front of her.
“You, just look at yourself. I sent you down the mountains to repay a grat.i.tude, and you get yourself injured like this. You should know that you were unconscious for 3 days. If the knife hit an inch deeper, you would have lost your life."
Seeing that his daughter had finally woke up, Luo Xuan was relieved. He had initially wanted to take her daughter back, but he did not expect her to have such a heavy wound so he temporarily stayed at an inn. She had also suffered a high fever, but she seemed to have recovered today, really she had him worried to death.
"Dad, how can I be here?"
She weakly asked. Because of the immense pain, Bing’er did not dare move as she layed on the bed.
She clearly remembered leaving Dong Fang house and had intended to directly go back to her home in the mountain. However, on her way back, she had encountered a sedan being ambushed by some bandits. Seeing that the situation was dire, she had jumped in to help. What she didn’t expect was that she would sustain such a heavy hit to save that wealthily dressed lady. After that, she did not remember...
Luo Xuan stared at her, then he pulled a stool to sit closer to his daughter, sighing, he said: " Silly girl, I have told you multiple times not to meddle with other people’s business, but you don’t listen.”
Letting out another low sigh, he continued: "You know who you saved? She is Madam Fang, the mother of Dong Fang Ling’s fiancee." Reluctantly, he stroked his daughter’s pale face, which was as white as paper, his heart aches for her, ah!
Seeing his originally hyper daughter who loved to snoop around and have fun lying on a bed really pained him! If his daughter were to have an unexpected accident, how can he face his wife after death?
"Father, how do you know all of this? Weren’t you staying on Full Moon Mountain, how can you be here at Luoyang city?"
Bing’er looked at him, surprised. How is it that everything changed so much after she woke up. And it seemed as if her father already knew everything.
"I was because I was worried for you. You were gone for three months, and I was also afraid that you stirred up trouble so I left the mountains to look for you. On my trip here, I noticed that all of our wanted posters were gone, curious, I inquired about it and I found out that you, with Jade Hunter cracked a large case.
When I arrived at Luoyang City, I was going to look for you at Dong Fang House. However, I did not expect to see a sedan chair rushing down the road with a doctor right behind it. Seeing such a bizarre seen, I could not help but get a closer look, and when I did, I saw in the sedan chair was you with your clothing heavily stained in blood. That really scared me to death. I secretly stayed in the Fang House for 2 days taking that time I had understood the whole situation. And when no one was paying attention, I snuck you out.”
After he overheard the Dong Fang Ling and Fang House’s conversation, he had decided to take away Bing’er. Binger saved the both the mother and daughter of Fang House. Because Fang House and Dong Fang House were tied with marriage, it was equivalent to indirectly paying Dong Fang House.
Now they do not own anything! This debt was payed, but it had almost taken his daughter’s life, ah! If he had known, he would not have made her take this trip. The previous master of Dong Fang House had pa.s.sed so why did he care so much about this c.r.a.p of a grat.i.tude debt?! His daughter is much more important!
"Dad, let us go back to Fall Moon Mountain, this daughter do not want to stay here any longer." Her eyes filled with melancholy as Binger said in a trembling voice.
Luo Xuan silently looked at Bing’er for a while, he knew about the entangled feelings of his daughter with Dong Fang Ling. When he was eavesdropping during the conversation, he was also made clear of Dong Fang Ling’s oath of marriage towards his daughter.
But just because Dong Fang Ling wants Bing’er, would he really just allow them to wed? It won’t be that easy, this father still has a say.
"Before you go back, you must recover first. Once you are healthy enough, we will go back." Looking at her pale face, he felt remorseful. He had decided not to tell Bing’er about Dong Fang Ling’s already breaking up his marriage. He knew Dong Fang Ling was not at fault, but how can he not blame him? If he had really cared for Bing’er, then how could he let such a thing happen? If he could not care for his daughter, then how can his father give her daughter to a irresponsible man?

The wooden door was pushed open from the outside and in walked a tall figure who made his way towards the bed. Seeing her, he was stunned.
If not for her moving chest, he would have thought she had pa.s.sed. Her face was devoid of her usual the rosy blush. Her pink lips were pale and her gla.s.sy, spontaneous eyes were shut.
He was about to reach out to touch her face however--
“Don"t’ touch her!” Sensing inhospitality from the low warning, Dong Fang Ling turned towards the door to find a middle aged man dress in grey glaring at him.
“Let us go out to talk, Bing’er had just fallen asleep after taking her medicine. Do not wake her up.”
Luo Xuan glanced at him, and then turned to walk towards the main lobby of the inn. Dong Fang Ling looked worriedly at Bing’er, making sure that she was in deep sleep did he finally follow out and quietly close the door.
"Dong Fang Ling, I will make this clear, Bing’er had already saved the people of the Fang House twice. This already indirectly repaid our debt to your House, so we no longer owe you anything. I hope you will cut ties with Bing’er now.” Luo Xuan directly stated desires, regardless of whether Dong Fang Ling will marry the lady of Fang House, he just wanted Bing’er to go back with him.
