"So father had such a past..."
Du Xi paused for a moment, then asked, "What were your thoughts back then?"
"I thought just like you, willing to risk everything, I wanted to marry your father at all costs."
Deng Qian sighed lightly and continued, "At that time, there were no Extraterritorial Demons, life was relatively peaceful, and your grandfather truly didn't think much of your father. He almost forcibly betrothed me to another Young Master. Later on, it was only by threatening to die that your grandfather relented. Looking back now, it was indeed pitiful..."
"Did I wrong my father?" Du Xi murmured.
"Regardless, you just need to remember that you are the biological daughter of your father and mother. Everything we do is for your own good." Deng Qian said softly.
"Cough, cough!"
Just then, a light cough came from outside.
Soon after, Du Tianlin slowly walked into the room, his hands behind his back, his demeanor still dignified.
