Wen Tang's stomach churned once again.
Despite wanting to interject several times, he ultimately subdued himself.
He spoke softly, "Dad, now is not the time to discuss these matters. Between me and her, no matter whom you favor more or love more, these things can wait until after the fact."
Lu Zhe paused for a moment,
obviously not taking it to heart.
He waved his hand dismissively, "Trust me, that girl has definitely gone off to enjoy herself, that's why she's out of contact."
"Besides, isn't it common for explorers overseas to go missing from time to time?"
Wen Tang's mouth trembled, as he seemed about to add something, but the words stopped short at his throat.
He did not voice any skepticism, instead, he lifted his eyes to glance at the time, "It's getting late; I should head back myself."
With those words, Wen Tang stood up and walked downstairs.
Lu Zhe followed behind to see him off.
Suddenly, both of their steps halted at the staircase.
