Li Zhongnan held Lu Wenjing tightly in his arms, silently waiting for her to cry herself out, softly comforting her. Amidst her sobbing, Lu Wenjing slowly felt a trace of warmth coming from Zhongnan's embrace. Her cries diminished, replaced by quiet sniffles. "Brother Zhongnan, that man… he's not my biological father at all…" she choked out.
Li Zhongnan's body stiffened.
In the end, she chose to confide in Li Zhongnan.
After hearing Lu Wenjing's story, Li Zhongnan's fists clenched tightly. He said coldly, "Wenjing, rest assured. I will personally slaughter that beast for you."
Lu Wenjing shook her head while still in his arms, wiped away her tears, and said, "Brother Zhongnan, there's no need, truly. I've come to understand—this world cannot entirely rely on trusting others. I must learn to stand on my own. Sooner or later, I will kill him with my own hands."
