NOVPUB“What? Could it be that there was more to what happened last time?”
Shen Roujia nodded and then slowly began to speak, “I angered the royal family, and the Great Zhou is no longer a place I can stay. My identity was exposed last time, and I almost fell into another trap.”
The worry in Wen Surong’s eyes was impossible to fake.
“Why didn’t you say something earlier about this!”
Shen Roujia chuckled softly, “I hadn’t yet revealed my true thoughts. At that time, I didn’t know if I would have any familial connection with you.”
Wen Surong seemed lost in thought, and then he made a decisive decision. He looked up at Shen Roujia, “Alright, let’s go back.”
Shen Roujia’s eyes lit up, clearly a bit surprised. For someone who loved his daughter so much, Wen Surong actually agreed. Shen Roujia smiled with her eyes curved into crescents.
It seemed her act of self-pity had worked.
Shen Roujia happily hooked her arm through Wen Surong’s, “Thank you, Father.”
Wen Surong felt a bit dazed as Shen Roujia suddenly called him Father.
This also startled Tu Lie, who had just entered from outside.
“What’s this…?”
Shen Roujia blinked her eyes, “Big Brother.”
Tu Lie looked at Shen Roujia and then at Wen Surong.
