Chapter 1208: Chapter 1208: Especially Dependent on Him
Feng Fuce saw the situation and smiled, "Congratulations to you."
It’s about to be fulfilled, just one thing missing.
Tears glistened in Zhi’er’s eyes, and she took the initiative to extend her hand to hug Feng Fuce’s neck.
She choked up, "Brother Fu Ce, luckily you were here..."
If he hadn’t woken her up in time, she didn’t know how long she would have slept in her dream.
Bai Xilie coughed twice from the side, "Zhi’er, father is still here!"
Zhi’er withdrew her hand and blinked her tearful eyes.
Seeing her so pitiful, Bai Xilie couldn’t bear to stop his daughter’s feelings.
He closed his eyes again, "Fine, let this brat Feng Fuce hold you a little longer, but not too long, Father will count, ten seconds is enough."
Zhi’er giggled, and for once she wasn’t sad anymore.
"Father, don’t overthink it, I’m just thanking Brother Fu Ce."
Bai Xilie opened his eyes, looking at Feng Fuce. Though his expression was serious, his gaze wasn’t lacking in kindness and understanding.
"Father knows, you’ve been asleep for a day and a night, Marquis Wan is capable, to be able to wake you, Father naturally won’t punish him."
Just then, the anxious voice of the Eldest Heir, Bai Xuanmo, came from the door—
"How is my sister exactly? Let me in to see!"
The Third Young Master Bai Yaoyu said, "Yeah, wasn’t it said she’s awake? Why can’t we hear anything?"
Zhi’er said, "Father, let my brothers in, I’m sure they’re all worried, if they don’t see me with their own eyes, they won’t be at ease!"
Bai Xilie nodded and instructed, "Qingmei, let them all in."
"Sister!" The Eldest Heir rushed in first, followed by the Second Young Master and the Third Young Master...
Along with Prince Rui and Prince Kang and his wife, they squeezed to the bedside.
Almost pushing Bai Xilie aside.
Bai Xilie steadied himself and scolded, "All of you quiet down, Zhi’er just woke up, don’t startle her!"
The family immediately lowered their voices, speaking cautiously.
Zhi’er smiled brightly, "I’m alright now, sorry to make you worry."
The Fifth Heir patted his chest, "Sister, thankfully you’re okay, otherwise big brother would have had to go to the temple to rope in a monk to pray for you."
The Sixth Prince frowned, "Why did you suddenly faint? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Zhi’er was too embarrassed to say she was struck by lightning.
She licked her lips and smiled, "Maybe I fainted from hunger, but it’s all good now!"
Princess Rui and the Eldest Heir checked her pulse together, both sighed in relief.
"The pulse is indeed stronger and more powerful."
Zhi’er raised her eyes and found Feng Fuce had already retreated to the outer circle.
He was intending to leave first, and Zhi’er hurriedly asked, "Brother Fu Ce, where are you going?"
Feng Fuce paused.
He simply wanted to arrange for Chu Ping to handle the Xiuluo Guard’s matters first, then he could properly stay by Zhi’er’s side.
But he didn’t expect, as long as he showed signs of leaving, the young girl seemed a bit anxious.
He responded to her displayed dependence with a smile, "I’m going to instruct Chu Ping on some official business, I’ll be back shortly."
Zhi’er nodded.
But afterwards, no matter what the family said, Zhi’er seemed a bit absent-minded, glancing occasionally towards the door.
Bai Xilie saw all this, and pursed his lips slightly.
When Feng Fuce returned, a smile bloomed on Zhi’er’s charming face, and she quickly reached out her hand, pulling Feng Fuce to stand by her bedside.
This strong dependence made the rest of the Bai Family aware.
But Zhi’er acted very naturally, entirely looking voluntary.
