As he watched Bai Cenxi half-force the man to leave, Gu Baichuan's stern face gradually relaxed.
His initially distracted gaze finally fell on the face of Lu Zhanluo, and he suggested half-jokingly, "Since Lu Xinbai is my daughter, how about you bring her to me tomorrow, Lu?"
Hearing this, Lu Zhendong was overjoyed, but he hesitated, "Mr. Gu, that could be difficult…"
"Oh? Why?"
"Xinbai seems unable to accept this reality. She currently refuses to see me or her mother."
At this point, Lu Zhendong paused before eventually suggesting, "Could you wait a few more days? Once I have persuaded her, I promise to bring her back to your mansion."
"That works, too!"
Elder Mr. Gu readily nodded in agreement, even though his face remained expressionless.
He didn't appear particularly pleased or expectant, nor could one tell if he was disappointed. His calmness was beyond ordinary, as if the matter of acknowledging his daughter or not was trivial for him.
