Gu Xijiu did not argue with him again but said 'yes', and walked towards the table. She grabbed a pastry and began to chew. It was delicious but she only managed to finish two.
She then said goodbye to The Lord after thanking him.
Since she came in, she had only greeted and thanked him alone - that was too courteous!
However, it seemed like The Lord was the one who made these...
He was the one who reminded her that there was a gap between their identities.
"Gu Xijiu, I thought you said you regard me as your father?"
Did you treat your father as courteously as this? He knew that she always drove her father (Gu Xietian) mad.
"No, I was wrong. I dare not take you as my father…"
"Then what?"
"My grandfather." Gu Xijiu said honestly, as she really sees him as her ancestor.
The Lord was drinking tea and he almost choked when she said that...
Gu Xijiu then sensed the care and warmth from The Lord as though he was a caring grandfather towards her.
