Zhou Huaijin was startled for a moment, before he realized what she was talking about.
His father had intended to make him the heir whilst being impulsive, but he was reminded of Zhou Huailing when Honored Princess Jing showed up. That was why he didn't mention that again.
That was even more hurtful than never mentioning that before. They were both his children, but Zhou Huaijin did not really care about that.
Well… He had always been aware of the fact that his father never liked him for real, otherwise he would not have built a mansion for him when he was still little. His father claimed to have adored him deeply, but he always found himself in some unexpected trouble.
He had been through too much since little so he had lost the so-called affection for the King. Therefore, he was not affected no matter what the King said or what decision he made. He was not sad at all.
