After a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind. He knelt down on one knee and said, "Miss, Sea Wolf has sworn to follow you to the death!"
I looked at him and sighed.
I walked forward to help him up. "Alright. Remember your choice. I've entrusted the lives of this family to you. We have no way to predict what the future will be like."
Lu Heng looked at me with a clear gaze. "Don't worry, Miss."
I nodded.
After Lu Heng left, Banxia helped me sit down on the chaise in front of the window. "Miss, that was a confusing conversation you had with Lu Heng. What kind of riddles were you playing?"
I looked at the scenery outside the window and smiled. "There are no riddles. I just wanted Lu Heng to choose whether to follow my uncle or me. He chose me."
Banxia looked confused. "Huh. When did Lu Heng say that?"
I looked at her indifferently. "Banxia, if my uncle and Ma Ji came now, would you follow them or me?"
