She had always been too well protected by them, and Zhuo Junyue worried she might be too soft-hearted to know how to handle it.
An An nodded immediately, expressing agreement, "Dad, I understand, but I have some questions for her. Could we ensure that she isn't harmed?"
Zhuo Junyue sighed slightly; keeping her in the basement all this time had been enough for her.
An An tugged her father's hand again, "Dad... please, alright?"
Zhuo Junyue watched as his hand was shaken a few times by her and couldn't resist, "Alright, I'll leave it to you to handle, but one thing: you're not allowed to keep her by your side, I absolutely won't agree to that."
"Thank you, Dad. I knew you were the best. I understand."
Zhuo Junyue called Ah Long over, "Take An An to the basement. Mingfei, you accompany her."
Lu Mingfei nodded, "Dad, don't worry. I'll keep a good eye on her."
Ah Long led them to the back mountain; An An had long known there was a basement, but she'd never been inside.
