Chapter 479: Chapter 479 Facing Obstacles Everywhere (2)_1

"Who am I to you, that you need to mind my business? But, when you’re talking about others, shouldn’t you think about your own actions first? Just now, you barged in here without permission, which is far worse than what I’m doing right now." Situ Xin walked in cradling Baibai, headed straight to the sofa without looking at her dad, and sat down.

"Baby, weren’t you in class? Why are you here?" Although Situ Haotian hadn’t done anything wrong to his daughter and wife, the fact that his precious daughter saw him being confessed to made him feel incredibly awkward. Besides feeling awkward, there was also a hint of guilt.

"Hmph, if I hadn’t come, I would have missed out on such an exciting scene." After a light snort, Situ Xin said to Li Yipei, "I was quite curious about what kind of shameless woman would try to seduce someone’s husband, how stunningly seductive you must be to have such confidence. But, seeing you today, I am not too disappointed, just quite surprised. It seems that nowadays, those mistresses are taking the innocent route. However, beneath that innocent appearance, the vulgarity remains unchanged."

Li Yipei also grew up being pampered by her family. Moreover, outside her home, due to her family’s status in Capital City, she received nothing but praise. Even those who disliked her never dared to say it to her face.

Li Yipei lost her reason in anger at Situ Xin’s words. She couldn’t care less about Situ Haotian or that she was in a leader’s office. With a horrifying expression, she said with eyes full of hatred, "You brat, who are you calling names? I’ll tear your mouth apart!"

As she spoke, Li Yipei lunged at Situ Xin. Situ Xin was completely unfazed by Li Yipei’s impending attack, standing calmly and watching as Li Yipei closed in on her.

However, Situ Haotian, standing off to the side, couldn’t remain still when he saw Li Yipei pounce toward Situ Xin. He moved swiftly, stepping in front of Situ Xin just as Li Yipei’s hand was about to reach her. He caught Li Yipei’s hand and then, turning his own hand, delivered her a slap.

Under normal circumstances, Situ Haotian definitely wouldn’t hit a woman, but when it came to his precious daughter, particularly when he saw Li Yipei’s hand about to strike Situ Xin’s face, and realizing that if he were a fraction slower, that slap would land on his daughter’s face, the anger in his heart flared uncontrollably; he instinctively reached out and returned a slap to Li Yipei.

At that moment, Situ Haotian completely forgot that with Li Yipei’s meager ability, she couldn’t even come close to touching Situ Xin’s clothes.

Li Yipei was stunned by the slap from Situ Haotian, and it took her a while to recover. Not only was Li Yipei shocked, but Situ Xin was also taken aback by her dad’s action toward Li Yipei. She opened her eyes wide and gaped in surprise at her dad, Situ Haotian.

When Situ Haotian turned to check if his daughter Situ Xin was hurt, he saw his daughter looking at him with a rare expression, which relaxed his taut nerves significantly. Smiling at Situ Xin, he asked, "Baby, what’s wrong? You look surprised?"

"Yes, I am quite surprised." Situ Xin, having recovered from her initial shock, nodded affirmatively as she spoke.

By this time, Li Yipei had also come back to her senses. She held the side of her face that had been hit and tears swirled in her eyes as she looked at Situ Haotian in disbelief. "Situ Haotian, you... you actually hit me for that wretched girl?"

"What do you mean ’for that wretched girl’? Hmph, she is my precious daughter, not the ’wretched girl’ you speak of. My daughter, Situ Haotian’s treasure, usually no one in our family would dare to touch a hair on her head. And today, you actually dared to raise your hand against her. If it weren’t for the fact that you’re a woman, I wouldn’t have just slapped you, I would have kicked you out as well," Situ Haotian said coldly to Li Yipei.

Li Yipei felt a shiver down her spine from the look that Situ Haotian gave her. She couldn’t help but shudder. She was about to say something else, but before she could, she saw a white shadow leap from Situ Xin’s embrace towards her.

The speed of the white shadow leaping toward her was so fast that she didn’t have any time to dodge.

Situ Xin felt Baibai lighten in her arms, then saw a white shadow pounce on Li Yipei, followed by Li Yipei’s wailing, "Ah..." Not only did Situ Xin and Situ Haotian hear Li Yipei’s wailing, but so did other people in the offices near Situ Haotian’s office.

"My face, my face hurts so much." Li Yipei clutched the side of her face that hadn’t been hit by Situ Haotian and cried out. While Li Yipei was wailing, Baibai had already swiftly returned to Situ Xin’s embrace.

The incident happened so fast that Situ Haotian stared dumbfounded at Li Yipei for a moment before turning his gaze to Baibai, now back in Situ Xin’s arms. Having just moved and returned to Situ Xin’s embrace, Baibai couldn’t help but stretch, then feeling the gaze on itself, it turned towards Situ Haotian, bared its teeth, and made a face as if scornful of him, "Hmph, Situ Haotian, what kind of father are you? Because of you, my master was almost bullied by that woman." Then, Baibai arrogantly turned its head away, showing its back to Situ Haotian.

Situ Haotian sensed Baibai’s contempt and touched his own nose, wondering what was going on.

Although Baibai had been sleeping most of the time, absorbing the excess Spiritual Energy in its body during sleep, it was still aware of what was happening around it, especially when Li Yipei made a move towards Situ Xin, Baibai sensed the unusual aura.

Actually, Baibai had woken up the moment Li Yipei pounced toward Situ Xin, and if Situ Haotian hadn’t stepped in front of Situ Xin just in time, Baibai would have intervened then. Now, Baibai simply couldn’t stand Li Yipei any longer and, unable to hold back, had taken action. Baibai showed off its claws to Li Yipei with just a small demonstration.
