Shen Roujia slowly shook her head. “Zhi Zhi is a friend I met later, Father. Why are you overthinking this? I don’t mind it at all. I’ve forgotten many things from my childhood, so you don’t owe me anything.”
Wen Surong gave a heavy “hmm” in response and then turned to leave. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
Shen Roujia knew that Wen Surong’s low spirits were due to the approaching anniversary of her mother’s disappearance.
Although Shen Roujia didn’t know the exact day, she was feeling quite anxious about the current situation. Even though the place they were in seemed to have a perpetual spring-like climate, time was still passing normally.
The plot should have started shifting around now.
As Shen Roujia thought about this, she couldn’t help but recall the incident with the wolves. The most suspicious person from that event was Ai Yigu.
But then again, Shen Roujia reasoned that Ai Yigu and Shu Ran must have deep-seated enmity, so it was unlikely that she would act out of some tribal belief.
If Wen Surong could truly wipe out the Dayue, it would be revenge for Ai Yigu’s mother as well.
So, Shen Roujia chose to trust Ai Yigu for now, as the woman seemed to have no motive.
Shen Roujia thought for a moment, then clenched her fists.
