Chapter 760: Chapter 760: The Pampering Gaze Held a Trace of Complexity

After hesitating and struggling for a long time, Bai Haoxue finally suppressed the impulse in her heart.

"Okay..." Bai Haoxue said, "Professor Bai, you too, take care and rest well."

After Bai Haoxue left, Bai Xiang lay in bed, unable to sleep all night.

His deep eyes resembled an ancient, mysterious pool, making it impossible to understand or guess what he was truly thinking.

...

Upon returning to her room, Ji Hanyu said somewhat reproachfully, "Why were you gone for so long?"

Didn’t she know he would be worried?

If she hadn’t returned, he might have gone to get her himself.

Bai Haoxue stayed silent, instead throwing herself into Ji Hanyu’s arms, holding him tightly.

Ji Hanyu paused, then patted her back gently, asking in a soft tone, "What’s wrong? Did you see your father?"

Bai Haoxue nodded, "Even though I didn’t see him with my own eyes, I heard him speak and even talked to him.

He was in that room, and I was outside."

Just a door apart...

Yet she didn’t even have the courage to call out "Dad."

If those things were really done by her father, she didn’t know how to face him.

Nor did she know how to face Ji Hanyu.

Ji Hanyu kissed Bai Haoxue’s forehead, "It’s late; wash up and rest. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Bai Haoxue did not move, just dependently called out, "Ji Hanyu..."

Ji Hanyu: "Hmm..."

Bai Haoxue said, "I know you’ve suffered a lot over the years, and it might have a lot to do with my father.

But..."

Bai Haoxue looked up at Ji Hanyu: "I’m not trying to excuse my father. It’s just, I kept knocking tonight, but my father didn’t come out to open the door, so..."

"So, you suspect your father is also controlled or threatened by that Professor Lan.

You suspect your father doesn’t have freedom now, is that right?"

Bai Haoxue nodded; she indeed thought so.

Although it’s indeed very late.

But she knocked for so long, and her father showed no intention of coming out to open the door.

That’s illogical...

Moreover, back when she hypnotized Bai Xiongan in prison, from what Bai Xiongan said, she could roughly guess that her father was probably not acting voluntarily.

However, whether voluntary or forced, he did those things and participated in them.

Ji Hanyu tidied Bai Haoxue’s disheveled hair, "You can continue to talk to him tomorrow. Whether he’s willing or coerced, I believe you can find out soon."

Bai Haoxue nodded, but she still didn’t let go of Ji Hanyu.

Ji Hanyu also allowed her to hold him, though his indulgent gaze held a touch of complexity...

When Nurse Wang woke up, she found herself lying on the floor behind the door.

Oh no!

Professor Bai...

Recalling last night’s events, Nurse Wang immediately got up, anxiously and nervously opened Bai Xiang’s room door.

"Professor Bai... Professor Bai, are you alright?"

Upon opening the door, Nurse Wang saw Bai Xiang lying motionless on the bed, thinking he might have met with misfortune, her heart filled with utmost panic.

Nurse Wang tried to push Bai Xiang a few times.

Hearing Nurse Wang’s calls, Bai Xiang groggily awakened. Having stayed up the whole night, he finally fell asleep but was abruptly woken up again.

Bai Xiang frowned, "Nurse Wang, is there something wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"
