Capítulo 439: Severing Familial Bonds

Upon hearing the young girl's words, Lu Qing felt a warm surge in his heart. Holding her close, his eyes were filled with tenderness. How could he not cherish such a little junior sister?

As Sun Mei cast a faintly sinister glance, Lu Qing furrowed his brow slightly, turning to Zhouzhou and murmuring softly, "Let's go, I'll escort you out."

He was reluctant for Zhouzhou to have too much contact with Sun Mei, lest it tarnish her innocence.
