The Long-awaited Mr Han

At the side, Xia Qingwei was smiling tearfully at Lu Man.

Wang Juhuai had told her this a few days after Lu Man and Han Zhuoli had left for their honeymoon.

At that time, Wang Juhuai was worrying by himself.

Seeing him troubled for quite some time, Xia Qingwei finally asked, "What got you so worried? Is it your job? Or your family matters?"

Wang Juhuai stared at Xia Qingwei for a long time.

"Stop worrying by yourself and say something. We'll share the burden no matter what it is." Xia Qingwei held Wang Juhuai's hand. "We're a couple now, and we'll face any problems together."

"I will never let you suffer. It's something else," Wang Juhuai said.

But hearing Xia Qingwei's words warmed him down to his toes, his heart filling with love.

And he couldn't help thanking Lu Qiyuan.

If he wasn't an idi*t for letting go of Xia Qingwei, how could Wang Juhuai have gotten the chance to marry such a good woman?

"So do say what it is!" Xia Qingwei frowned. "Unless it's something you can't let me know about?"

"What secrets do we have between each other? There's nothing about me that I can't tell you. It's just…" Wang Juhuai finally started speaking. "Do you think Man Man would call me Dad?"

Xia Qingwei was totally stunned, her tears falling immediately.

Wang Juhuai panicked. "Don't cry! If you're unhappy about this, then I won't mention or think about it ever again!"

Wang Juhuai clumsily wiped away her tears, desperately trying to pacify her.

Xia Qingwei shook her head. "It's not that I'm happy, I just never thought that… you'd be willing…"

"Never thought that you'd be willing to let Lu Man call you Dad."

"What's there to be unwilling about?" Wang Juhuai laughed, relieved that she was only crying over this. "What's to cry about?"

"Man Man experienced that short period of fatherly love only in her childhood, and in the long 20 years after, it's almost like her father didn't even exist. Man Man and I are already touched that you're willing to treat her well and protect her. I never thought that you are willing…"

"Sigh!" Wang Juhuai wiped away her tears. "There's no need to be moved. Isn't it normal for me to do this? She's your daughter and you married me. Naturally, she's my daughter too. Moreover, Lu Qiyuan treated her so badly, she's better off without him. Since Lu Qiyuan didn't want such a wonderful daughter, I will want her! And it just so happened that I don't have children, so isn't it all good to let Lu Man be my daughter?"

"Please stop crying." Wang Juhuai comforted her. "Next time, not only will I protect you, I'll also protect Lu Man. She's my daughter. She's Wang Juhuai's daughter."

Xia Qingwei nodded. "That's great. Really great. I'll thank you for Lu Man."

"Thank me for what!" Wang Juhuai growled. "Don't be so polite with me, and don't help her thank me! I truly want to love her like my own, and it's not for your gratitude nor is it empty words to coax you."

"I know, I spoke wrongly," Xia Qingwei said with a smile, drying her tears herself.

"If you're willing, then it's up to Lu Man now." Wang Juhuai was nervous. "Don't know if she's willing or not."
