That pitiful little look stabbed Liu Ji's heart. The old father sighed and reached out to pat his daughter's head, trying to calm her.
Si Niang snorted, glaring as she avoided him.
Liu Ji, helpless, had to confess honestly to Qin Yao:
"Wife, I'll be honest, the more I think about what Zhen Yubai said, the more uneasy I feel. So I want to go to the Capital with Fourth, just to take a look and come back, really!"
After speaking, he cautiously raised his eyes to observe her expression.
However, she didn't show any expected emotion at all, but instead, she sized him up and down as if weighing something, making Liu Ji's heart jittery, not knowing whether she agreed or not.
Ah Wang stepped forward and said expressionlessly, "I'm not going."
Everyone except Qin Yao looked surprised.
Liu Ji was the most shocked; he had long been accustomed to having Ah Wang accompany him on trips, a sense of security that only a fierce woman could replace.
