Qilin Kai stared at his son with a cold unfeeling gaze but inside a sharp piercing pain stabbed at his heart. Like all Qilins no matter how indifferent and aloof they are they loved their cubs. He suddenly felt the same pain Qilin Hao felt when Ji Yao resisted her when she tried to reconcile.
He didn't want his relationship with Tong Tong to be as strained as Qilin Hao's relationship with Ji Yao but he also had the desire to protect his son. Torn between doing what is best for his son and building a good relationship with him he chose the former.
"Knock him out and take him away. Find a place to hide and when the dust settles I will come to find you," said Qilin Kai to his father before turning on his heel.
Tong Tong who had been listening in on what they were saying raised his head abruptly and silently shook it in refusal. His grandmother that was patting his back in comfort tried to reason with him but how could things be so easy?
