Upon hearing Long Wu's words, Long Ziyan frowned and said, "Do you think it's that simple? Long Dongcheng is such an idiot, yet my father wants him to be the Family Head, and hardly anyone opposes him. Do you know why?"
Long Wu frowned but did not speak.
Long Ziyan continued, "That's because he's a man, carrying the Long family bloodline. If my father were to choose me, it would be far more difficult than having Long Dongcheng take the position, because I'm a woman. In other people's words, I'm destined to marry out!"
"However, the master certainly won't let the Long family's power slip away," Long Wu stated with certainty.
"Of course, he doesn't want that, but he still won't choose me because I'm a woman, and I'm not his only option. If you knew about my father's illegitimate child out there, you'd understand!" Long Ziyan shook her head, her eyes showing a hint of loneliness.
Long Wu's complexion turned somewhat unpleasant. "The master has an illegitimate child?"
