Lu Xiao and Gu Xiaonuan can never become deeply affectionate as father and daughter; this is determined by their relationship.
If their relationship weren't so tense, she wouldn't have ended up in her current situation.
However, she has no other choice now.
Lu Xiao has no chance of persuading Gu Xiaonuan; if he did, she would have left with him long ago.
It is because he cannot directly approach Gu Xiaonuan that he has to seek other methods.
For instance, using Gu Qingyuan; if it were Gu Qingyuan, this obstinacy might be easily resolved.
But even if it's Gu Qingyuan, some matters are not so easily settled.
What he needs to face now is not something else, but how he can deal with that person.
Si Yuchen.
Si Yuchen is his son-in-law and also the most significant obstacle in taking Gu Xiaonuan away.
Si Yuchen has the Si Family in Sea City, whose influence makes Lu Xiao feel unable to take a step forward in Sea City.
