Zi Tong raised her face and smiled, "Can father protect me for the rest of my life?"
In her two lifetimes, has she ever stood behind others and allowed others to protect her?
Even Beichen, she has been working hard to stand side by side with him.
In this world, who can protect whom for the rest of their lives? Even Beichen can't be by her side all the time, let alone others.
Bei Shuihan was startled, "At least, I can protect you for a while."
Now that she has signed a contract with Beichen, this contract will accompany the two of them for life and cannot be broken. Instead of protecting her like this, it is better to find a way for her to improve herself as soon as possible.
Bei Shuihan certainly understands these principles, but reason is one thing, and emotion is another.
When he thought that she might face various dangers after returning to the academy, which would affect Beichen, he, as a father, was naturally unwilling to do so.
"I hope father will think carefully and I will not stay in the Bei family." Zi Tong said sternly.
"As long as you stay in the Bei family, I will do everything possible to help you improve your strength." Bei Shuihan said.
Cangqiong College is definitely the best college in Central Continent, but Bei Shuihan also knows how fierce the battles are in the college, and it also means danger.
As long as Zi Tong is willing to stay, he will naturally use all his strength to help her improve her strength as soon as possible.
Zi Tong's tone was neither humble nor overbearing, "I'm sorry, I can't agree."
Bei Shuihan frowned and looked at her, "Zitong, don't be too willful!"
"Father, you are too authoritarian." Zi Tong said tit for tat.
When she compromised with Bei Shuihan before, she was mainly considering Beichen. Firstly, it was to make his seclusion safer, and secondly, she didn't want Mrs. Qingyou to be in trouble between their father and son.
This does not mean that she is a good and obedient little daughter-in-law.
It would be absolutely impossible for her to be a caged bird.
Even Beichen couldn't restrain her, let alone Bei Shuihan.
"Shui Han!" Mrs. Qingyou saw the two men's voices stiff, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Xiao Tong, don't get me wrong, your father is also doing it for your own good."
Zi Tong nodded slightly, "I understand, but I have to leave."
Zi Tong knew very well that the reason why Bei Shuihan temporarily accepted her was because of Beichen and the contract between her and Beichen.
However, deep down in his heart, he is far from truly agreeing with her. Even if he wants to help her improve, it is because he is afraid that she will drag Beichen down.
She also understands this idea, but understanding is one thing, pride and self-esteem are another.
"You have to leave?" Bei Shuihan's tone turned deep.
"I have to leave." Zi Tong said seriously.
Bei Shuihan wiped his lips and said, "Okay, as long as you can take my three moves and prove that you are strong enough to protect yourself, I will let you go."
"Father, do you keep what you say?" Zi Tong asked.
"count!"
"Okay." Zi Tong took two steps back and raised a hand, "Father, please take action!"
"Shuihan, Xiaotong..."
Zi Tong smiled at her and said, "Mom, please don't persuade me. The best way now is to let the two of us compete."
Mrs. Qingyou looked at her husband and daughter-in-law in front of her with a look of helplessness.
This girl's stubborn temper is just like Beichen's.
Mrs. Qingyou had no choice but to take a few steps away, and her eyes fell on Bei Shuihan. Although she said nothing, the meaning in her eyes was very clear - if Bei Shuihan dared to hurt Zitong, she would definitely not spare him.
