"Dad."
"Alright, no need to say more, I'll think about it." Shangguan Zhi interrupted Shangguan Yu, his tall silhouette disappearing up the stairs.
"Daddy, what on earth is going on? What exactly happened to the girl?" Shangguan Qing, looking at Shangguan Yu's displeased face, asked the question on his mind. Whatever had happened, it was something he did not know.
"You're in charge of the girl's safety now. Even if it means sacrificing yourself, you must protect her for me." Shangguan Yu spoke gravely, glanced at his own son, then strode upstairs. Now was not the time. When the right moment came, he would tell them the reason.
"I understand, Daddy." That night, Shangguan Zhi, his son Shangguan Yu, and his grandson Shangguan Qing all suffered from insomnia.
Compared to their sleeplessness, Shangguan You felt utterly gloomy. Despite having grown so much, her aunt, Liu Ruoling, insisted on sharing a bed with her.
