"Father..." Ruan Ning called out unwillingly. She still wanted to struggle to change Lu'er's decision, but the moment she looked up and met his clearly displeased red eyes, she fell silent.
Her fingers tightly clutched the hem of her clothes, her knuckles turning white from the force, but ultimately, she lowered her head in defeat.
Seeing this, Lu'er ignored Ruan Ning and turned to look at Ruan Fu beside him. He coughed lightly, attempting to soften his tone. "You go back first. I still have things to discuss with your sister."
Ruan Fu reached out and gently wiped the tears from her face. She nodded obediently, her voice soft and submissive. "Okay, Father. Then I'll head back first. I'll have to trouble you to send this chest of things back for me."
After Ruan Fu left, Lu'er's gaze fell back onto Ruan Ning. "Why are you still so impatient?" he asked in a deep voice. "Did your last confinement not teach you anything?"
