63: Chapter 63 Let me tell you about her.

Xu Xueke was displeased when she heard Ye Qingqing's words. Her eyes were filled with malice; who did she think she was?

Live her own life well?

Since Huo Sixian was present, Xu Xueke didn't show it on her face, but where he couldn't see, she glared at Ye Qingqing viciously.

After Huo Sixian left with Xu Xueke, Ye Qingqing felt bored and looked at Ye Shanhai, who was still standing there.

Ye Shanhai still felt some pain in his abdomen, but he still tried to maintain a fatherly posture.

Holding his head high, he looked at Ye Qingqing. "Now that we've found you, for the sake of you being my daughter, take Ah Huang and come back with us."

Ye Shanhai saw that Ye Qingqing was dressed cleanly, and Ah Huang's coat looked quite good too.

He instinctively knew that Ye Qingqing certainly wasn't lacking food or drink, and he began calculating how to make her obediently hand over her food.

Besides, they were almost at Capital City; he still had a use for Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing laughed outright when she heard Ye Shanhai's words. His schemes were so obvious they were practically slapping her in the face; she didn't know how he could say such shameless things.

Leading Ah Huang, Ye Qingqing walked slowly toward Ye Shanhai and said softly, "Are you sure you want me to take Ah Huang and follow you back?"

Looking at Ye Qingqing like this, Ye Shanhai felt a bit apprehensive for some reason. He felt that she had changed—no, she had likely changed long ago.

He just hadn't wanted to admit it, believing she was still the same person as before who would willingly take whatever abuse was thrown at her.

As he looked at Ye Qingqing now, although he felt something was off, he maintained a dignified expression. Besides, she was still useful to him.

"Qingqing, stop messing around. Come back with me and apologize properly to your mother. As for what happened before, we're family, so we won't hold it against you."

Ye Shanhai's face looked very gentle now, with no trace of the man who had previously tried to make her give up her house.

Ye Qingqing undoubtedly understood Ye Shanhai; she immediately realized that his current demeanor was clearly that of someone who needed a favor from her.

However, as for what specifically it was, she didn't know.

It likely wasn't anything good. When she first encountered Ye Shanhai's group on the ship, she had wanted to get rid of Ye Shanhai and Wang Yanli quietly.

But now that she had been watched twice, the surrounding survivors probably already knew about their family drama.

They might even whisper and gossip behind her back: 'Yeah, that's the woman with the dog, let me tell you about her...'

So Ye Qingqing couldn't directly deal with them yet. After all, staying on this ship was much better than wandering on her own.

Although she wasn't afraid of wandering alone, if there was a more comfortable way, who would choose to go it alone?

She wasn't an idiot.

"Go back. It's impossible for me to go with you."

Ye Qingqing said indifferently as she looked at Ye Shanhai.

"You unfilial daughter! I already said I wouldn't hold it against you, why won't you listen to reason!" Ye Shanhai grew anxious seeing her stubborn attitude.

"Do you realize what the situation is now? Isn't it better for a family to stay together?"

Hearing Ye Shanhai's words, Ye Qingqing couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

She remembered the same rhetoric from Ye Shanhai in both her past life and this one.

In her previous life, Ye Shanhai had said the same thing, but when the food ran out, he got rid of Ah Huang first and eventually sold her off just to trade for a meager amount of food.

If Ye Shanhai only valued her as a daughter for her utility, then she could understand it.

After all, Ye Qingqing was beautiful. Seeing how Ye Shanhai had just fawned over Xu Xueke, she guessed that he...

...had likely taken a liking to her face and wanted to sell her off.

It was the same in her previous life, except then he sold people for food. What about this life?

What was Ye Shanhai plotting?

Ye Qingqing didn't understand and didn't care to. She gave Ye Shanhai one last look; there was no familial affection in her eyes, only endless hatred remained.

"Do you think that kick you took to the stomach didn't wake you up?"

As Ye Qingqing spoke, she moved her wrists, the killing intent in her eyes completely unconcealed.

It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, but now that she did, Ye Shanhai felt his abdomen begin to throb with pain again. He had taken that kick from her quite solidly.

To say it didn't hurt would be a lie; even Ye Shanhai didn't know when she had become so skilled.

Seeing her move her wrists now, he actually felt a bit of fear for some reason.

But he still acted tough. "Unfilial daughter! How dare you speak to your father like that!"

Ye Qingqing was speechless; it was as if Ye Shanhai couldn't understand human speech. She was helpless and didn't want to talk anymore; she was indeed exhausted.

Just as she was about to act, Ah Huang struck out, lunging forward and kicking Ye Shanhai in the chest.

Ah Huang was much stronger than Ye Qingqing; Ye Shanhai's entire body was sent flying back several meters before he hit the ground hard.

Some blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. Ah Huang had disliked Ye Shanhai for a long time, though the feeling hadn't been this intense before.

But after seeing him this time, for some reason, he felt an extreme hatred for this man.

He hated him very, very much, so he struck out on Ye Qingqing's behalf.

Ah Huang looked up at Ye Qingqing, observing her reaction.

He found that instead of scolding him, she actually had a smile on her face.

"Good job, Ah Huang. In the future, if you see this person, just kick him. After all, you're a dog; no one will do anything to you for kicking someone."

Hearing Ye Qingqing's words, Ah Huang's tail wagged so hard it almost reached the sky.

He was incredibly smug; he wouldn't let anyone who dared to bully his master off the hook!

"Ye Qingqing!"

Ye Shanhai, who had been kicked to the ground, shouted her name viciously. The look in his eyes was poisonous, to the point that even the onlookers could hardly stand it.

"Ah Huang, let's go back to sleep."

Ye Qingqing let out a yawn and led Ah Huang back to their little spot.

Humans are just like that; once they have something, they want the best. For instance, although Ye Qingqing liked her current relaxed life...

...because there's always trouble wherever there are people, she now kind of wanted to go back to when she was wandering alone.
