Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As soon as she finished speaking, there was silence on the other end of the phone.

Lu Haiqiao held her phone and waited patiently.

After two minutes, Wu Sancai sighed. “Haiqiao, can you not interfere in this matter? I… In short, I can’t explain it.”

Lu Haiqiao pondered for a moment. “Does it have something to do with that woman?”

Wu Sancai fell silent again.

It seemed that she was right.

“Okay,” Lu Haiqiao agreed. “Since you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t force you, but if I find out that that woman hurts you, I won’t let her off no matter if it’s verbal or physical damage.”

She guessed that the woman was by Wu Sancai’s side at this moment. No matter if she could hear her words, Wu Sancai would always know what to do.

“Don’t worry, she…” Wu Sancai paused and continued after a few seconds, “She won’t… right?”

He said the last word very softly.

But Lu Haiqiao still heard it.

It was a question.

Did that mean he wasn’t sure?

Lu Haiqiao narrowed her eyes.

She wasn’t someone who would come to remedy an accident. If she realized that something might happen in the future, then taking precautions was the best way to deal with it.

Wu Sancai knew her too well.

When she was obedient, she was very obedient, but when she was ruthless, she was really ruthless.

The kind of ruthlessness that could risk one’s life.

After some thought, he said, “Haiqiao, I know you’ll definitely think of ways to protect me. Actually, there’s no need. There’s really no need because…”

Gritting his teeth, Wu Sancai finally revealed his relationship with that woman.

“Because she’s my daughter.”

“Daughter?” Lu Haiqiao blurted out in surprise.

She knew that her teacher had a son, but they hadn’t contacted each other for many years.

His daughter… She had never heard of her before.

“Uh, yes. My daughter wasn’t in good health when she was young, so I sent her overseas to recuperate. She only came back in the past few days.

“After all, we haven’t seen each other for so many years. It’s inevitable that we’re a little distant. When we get along better, I’ll introduce her to you.”

This explanation sounded reasonable. Although Lu Haiqiao was still a little worried, she couldn’t say anything else.

“Alright, I understand. I won’t disturb you anymore. We’ll have tea together some other day.”

After saying goodbye, Lu Haiqiao ended the call.

It was already past time to get off work.

The colleagues in the office left one after another.

Lu Haiqiao had no intention of leaving until she was alone in the office.

She sat with her long legs crossed and her left wrist against the countertop, turning a pen in between her fingers.

He was still thinking about Wu Sancai.

At this moment, her phone screen suddenly lit up. Her phone vibrated, and the ringtone unique to WeChat rang out.

Lu Haiqiao picked it up.

Xie Xuan’s voice came from the other end. “If you’re not enthusiastic about getting off work, there must be a problem. Tell me, why aren’t you leaving at this time?”

Lu Haiqiao was stunned. “How do you know I haven’t left?”

Then, she thought of a possibility. “You’re back?”

“Not yet,” Xie Xuan said. “I didn’t hear any background voice from your end, so I guess you’re still in the office.”

“I see…” Hearing his words, Lu Haiqiao was disappointed.

Her voice was upset, and she wasn’t in a good mood.

Xie Xuan said, “Are you unhappy because I didn’t come back?” “No.” Lu Haiqiao got up and walked to the window. She looked up at the sky that was stained red by the sunset. “You’re busy. I understand..”
