Chapter 795: You Must Hate Me, Right?
May I?
Li Beinian looked at Nico for a long time before nodding. “Okay.”
Nico couldn’t believe his eyes.
After blinking several times and confirming that Li Beinian had indeed nodded, he chuckled and couldn’t help but tear up.
Li Beinian’s heart palpitated uncontrollably. She was inexplicably excited, but she did not express it.
Nico was overwhelmed by emotions that he couldn’t suppress. He looked at Li Beinian and said, “Then, will you call me Daddy?”
Daddy.
Li Beinian opened her mouth and looked at Mu Xichen.
Mu Xichen put his arm around her and said quietly, “Go ahead.”
She hesitated for a moment and looked at Nico for a long time before calling out, “Daddy.”
Nico felt a lump in his throat when he heard this. His eyes began to sting and his vision blurred.
However, he quickly laughed and said, “My daughter, my baby.”
As he spoke, he tried to get up from the wheelchair.
It was a challenge for him to get onto his feet, but it wasn’t impossible.
Li Beinian was shocked and immediately stepped forward. “What are you trying to do? Sit down.”
“I want to give you a hug,” Nico said without holding back. He touched his bloodshot eyes and then looked at Li Beinian. “My daughter… I can finally call you my daughter. Beinian, I once imagined that if you would call me Daddy, I’d give you all the best things in the world. Beinian, my daughter.”
He spoke in his very British accent.
While Li Beinian found this rather comical, she couldn’t help but tear up. She walked towards Nico and bent over to hug him.
Nico hugged her back, saying repeatedly, “Beinian, my daughter.”
“Daddy, promise me one thing.” Li Beinian stepped back and wiped her eyes. “I know that your estate in England is huge, but please don’t leave any of it to me.”
“No.” Nico found it hard to believe and continued, “Have you any idea how huge those industrial chains are? The Rothschild family controls almost two-thirds of Britain’s economy. Beinian, all these were personally established by Daddy. Those are rightfully ours and they are also yours.”
Li Beinian was shocked to hear this.
She had heard of how powerful the Rothschild family was, but even then she only had a superficial understanding: Very, very powerful!
However, she did not have an exact idea, and certainly, did not expect it to be so huge!
But it was also because of this that Li Beinian felt afraid and said, “I don’t want it. These things don’t belong to me.”
Li Beinian stared at Nico and said in no uncertain terms, “I know you have a lot of money, but not everyone likes money. I also know that you may have left word in England to leave these things to your biological child. However, these are not things that I desire. I hope you can take them back.”
“Beinian, do you not want to acknowledge me?” Nico’s face was full of sadness as he looked at Li Beinian painfully. “Is that why you don’t wish to return to England with me, and you’re calling me Daddy just so that I’ll be appeased and go home to England?”
“No…”
“Do you hate me, then?” Nico looked at her. “I didn’t take good care of your mother back then. I didn’t even know you existed. You must hate me, right?”
