Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 15: 15 Never to lose again

The indifference of her father in her previous life had deeply saddened her. She tried to show herself, tried to be better, but no matter what she did, no matter how well she performed, her father remained indifferent. Not only did he withhold praise, but when she made mistakes, he couldn’t even be bothered to scold her. This eventually led her to a sense of self-abandonment, where she fraternized with genuine playboys, engaging in frivolity and causing trouble. Wasn’t she just hoping to be seen more by her father, even if it was just to be chastised? Still, there was nothing, absolutely nothing. Her father’s indifference towards her was unwavering, completely ignoring her presence.

Once, she believed her father neither loved nor wanted her, and that he despised her and wished not to see her. However, when her father used his own life to buy her time to escape, she realized the magnitude of paternal love. It was just that in her previous life, she realized this all too late.

Therefore, in this life, she vowed to hold on to these revelations tightly, never to lose them again! Never again!

After sitting down, Mu Hanyan first instructed her maid to fetch wound medicine to apply to Huayue, then she started on the main topic.

”Huayue, this Ice Heart Grass is for you, it’s your prize. Also, take this seven-leaf flower with you. Zirong, the Green Bamboo Vine is for you,” Mu Hanyan said, taking out the items and presenting them to the two of them.

But neither of them reached out to take them.

”Young Master, I cannot accept a reward without merit,” Zirong spoke, Huayue still fared better, after all, she had just won a match for Young Master. But Zirong hadn’t done anything to deserve such a generous gift from the Young Master. Even though the Green Bamboo Vine was something he urgently needed, he couldn’t just accept it like this.

Mu Hanyan smiled, this Zirong, indeed, was very thoughtful. However, she was in need of people just like him. ”As for Huayue, you’ve just won a match beautifully for me. Consider this your reward. If Zirong, you need a reason, then it’s because I want to bribe you. Is this reason enough?”

Zirong was slightly taken aback, surprised at Mu Hanyan’s blunt words. Meeting Mu Hanyan’s beautiful and clear gaze, he couldn’t help but contemplate whether Mu Hanyan was really the useless playboy the rumors made her out to be. Was she, truly?

It had to be said, Mu Hanyan’s straightforwardness only improved Zirong’s opinion of her.

”I don’t want to waste words, nor should you wonder why I chose you. Since I’ve chosen you, it means I trust you, your character, and your capabilities. All I need is for you to follow my orders without compromising your own principles,” Mu Hanyan said succinctly.

After hearing this, both were momentarily stunned, then they both went over Mu Hanyan’s words in their minds and accepted without any reservations. Her requirements were truly not demanding, on the contrary, they were quite generous. With the premise of not crossing their bottom lines, this was still prioritizing their will, and to become personal guards for the Young Master not only meant a salary increase but also no excessive demands. All things considered, being a personal guard for the Young Master was indeed quite a good deal.

”Yes, Young Master,” Huayue said, without hesitation anymore, she took the medicinal herbs and bowed slightly to express her gratitude, ”Thank you for the medicinal herbs, Young Master. I will carefully follow your commands from now on.”

”I’ll heed the Young Master’s words,” Zirong said with a playful and irreverent smile. He suddenly felt that following this rumored playboy Young Master might not be so bad. Moreover, it seemed like the days ahead would be rather interesting.
