An Ning furrowed her brows.
Xiao Jinxing's face also darkened, and he decisively said two words, "No way!"
"Father just said he wouldn't oppose me," An Youyou complained.
"This isn't about opposing you; it's about putting an end to this idea. Don't even think about it!" Xiao Jinxing stated firmly.
"Why?" An Youyou was on the verge of breaking down.
She had finally summoned the courage to tell them, only to have her feelings dismissed without the slightest consideration.
"Because An Ji is not in Daxuan, and cannot stay in Daxuan."
"Then I can go to Beiyuan?"
"Do you want me to break your legs?" Xiao Jinxing raised an eyebrow.
An Youyou pouted.
She looked eagerly at her mother, hoping she would speak up for her.
"I can't help you with this," An Ning refused outright.
She was too aware of Xiao Jinxing's protective nature towards An Youyou.
She reckoned that even when Xiao Jinxing was in his eighties and couldn't walk, he would want Youyou within his sight to feel at ease.
