Chu Zhen Dong looked at Lu Xize gravely and spoke slowly, "Yaoyao is unaware of what happened back then, but I know you are. I don't want her to bear the consequences of our parents' feud. If you're approaching her with revenge in mind, to use her, then I'll put this old life of mine on the line to make sure you can't hurt her." Chu Zhen Dong's tone was firm. Lu Xize met his gaze calmly, saying nothing.
The two men simply stared at each other, their expressions different but their gazes equally resolute. After a long moment, Lu Xize spoke. "I will not let anyone hurt her again, including myself." Chu Zhen Dong was taken aback. He admitted he was being somewhat petty, but for the sake of certainty, he had to ask. No matter what, he did not want his daughter to suffer any more harm.
But Lu Xize's response was not what he had expected.
'His words didn't just mean he wouldn't hurt Chu Yao; they implied something more. Did he also intend to keep what happened back then from her?'
