Chen Qingqing chuckled and hugged Count Harris' arm tightly. The worries and fear on her face had disappeared.

It turns out that having a father guarding him, this is how it feels.

In the past, she was always used to taking care of anything she had done. No matter how difficult it was, she was alone and had become accustomed to it.

But now she is different. She has a father. No matter what happens, she is no longer alone.

"Dad, it's really good to have you by my side."

"Is that?" Earl Harris was slightly stunned when he heard Chen Qingqing's words, and then reached out to pat the back of her hand, with spoiled eyes and eyes full of spoiledness. "Qingqing, you promised dad that no matter what happens in the future, you will confess to dad. Although dad is old, he has experienced many storms and waves and will not be scared by anything. You must believe dad. As long as dad is here, you will never let you face these things alone."

When Chen Qingqing heard these words from Earl Harris, the smile on the corner of her lips was full of happiness.

"I understand, Dad, I won't hide it from you anymore. If there is anything, I will definitely tell you."

"Be good." Earl Harris smiled when he heard Chen Qingqing's promise, patted her hands, and said, "Let's go, it's almost time for dinner, and they are still waiting downstairs."

"Huo Tingxiao is still there?" Chen Qingqing suddenly asked.

She knew that Huo Tingxiao was coming, and that he and Ou Qing were talking, but she thought that as long as he made things clear, he should leave.

Earl Harris suddenly smiled, "What? You have already begged him to tell the boy Ah Qing, and told me, why can't you face him?"

Chen Qingqing curled her lips, "It's not me who begged him, he came to me by himself, I..."

Hearing the excuse for defense, Count Harris's smile became deeper, "You still can't face him normally, but you can understand it. Sometimes the more you want to escape, the more you can't face it. It's just Qingqing, there is no need to remember the love and hate between you and him anymore. Those are the things that happened in the past, just live in the present, right?"

"I know, dad, I don't hate him anymore. I just feel that I can't do it if I want to be friends with him and face it calmly." Chen Qingqing sighed, and her eyebrows were full of long sighs. "I also know that he is very worried about Nian Yan's illness, and I also know that what he did in Tongcheng is very grateful, but I still can't face it calmly."

After all, the damage that was once still existed. Even if time could dilute a little, it would be impossible to completely let go.

Especially I once loved so deeply.

"Even if you can't face it normally, you must maintain the demeanor you should have." Earl Harris spoke lightly, knowing that this was a bit difficult, but now Huo Tingxiao is already in the castle, so why don't you avoid it?

Is that too obvious?

"Don't be afraid, dad is here, Qingqing."

When Chen Qingqing heard this, she nodded and reached out to hold Count Harris's hand, "Well, let's go down."

"This is my daughter." Earl Harris smiled, holding Chen Qingqing's hand and heading downstairs. Chen Nianyan temporarily handed over to the servant.
