Yuan's father could hardly believe what he was seeing.

He knew some of the rumors about Rong Ruo, but he never imagined they would be related to his daughter.

Thinking back to when Rong Ruo had saved him last time, Yuan's father felt that something was increasingly wrong.

"Zhaozhao, you?"

Yuan's father's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Could it be that my daughter has fallen for Rong Ruo?

Thinking of this, he quickly looked at Rong Ruo. Even though he didn't think much of Rong Ruo, he couldn't help but admire Rong Ruo's good looks.

My daughter was initially attracted to Zhou Shiyuan because of his good looks, but Rong Ruo is clearly much more outstanding than Zhou Shiyuan.

He didn't care about anyone else, but as long as his daughter liked him, he would snatch her back even if it meant taking her away.

But this person is Rong Ruo!

Putting aside the fact that his name, "King Yama," is terrifying, the fact that he is a eunuch is simply impossible.

Yuan Zhao had no idea that her father had thought so much. Seeing her father's expression, she guessed that he seemed to have misunderstood something.

However, now was not the time to explain, so she could only say:

"Father, you go back first, I'll talk to you later."

For the first time, her father, who always treated her words as gospel, disobeyed her. He said with a stern face:

"Someone, take the young lady home first."

He still had something to discuss with Rong Ruo.

Did Rong Ruo not know his and his daughter's identities?

If that's the case, why would he still go and provoke them?

He's still here, and this damned eunuch dares to humiliate her like this. Does he really think his knife has become dull from not seeing blood for so long?

"Father!"

Yuan Zhao knew his father's violent temper; if he really left, his father would surely offend Rong Ruo to death.

This person is petty by nature. If his father does something to displease him, he will certainly not let his father off the hook in the future.

She didn't want her family to suffer the same fate as in her previous life. With that thought in mind, she stood in front of Rong Ruo again, blocking his way.

“Father, none of this has anything to do with the Grand Eunuch.”

"Tell me what's wrong."

Father Yuan: "..."

He finally understands what it means to be biased towards outsiders. He was only 80% sure before, but now he's 100% sure.

Yuan Zhao has fallen for this damned eunuch!

Rong Ruo raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing Yuan Zhao's words and gave Yuan Zhao a brief, indifferent glance.

When he saw the small yet resolute figure standing in front of him, a smile he himself didn't realize appeared in his eyes, and a warm feeling washed over him.

This was the first time someone had stood in front of him, taking a protective stance. Even though he knew that Yuan Zhao was protecting his father more than anyone else, he still felt a strange and wonderful sense of being protected.

Yuan's father has always been helpless with his precious daughter, and this time is no different.

Yuan Zhao wouldn't leave no matter what, so he naturally wouldn't resort to force.

His face was very gloomy, even blacker than the bottom of a pot.

He let it go when he saw Zhou Shiyuan, who was completely powerless.

Now her taste has gotten even worse; she's actually fallen for a eunuch. Yuan's father feels like his world is collapsing.

He was furious but had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only glare fiercely at Rong Ruo before turning and leaving.

Yuan Zhao knew his father was furious and wanted to chase after him, but he could only suppress his urgency and bow to Rong Ruo:

“Master Supervisor, my father was only worried about me, so he offended me. Please don’t take offense.”

Yuan Zhao wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Rong Ruo's eyes seemed to turn colder after he said those words.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard Rong Ruo say coldly:

"What if I insist on blaming you?"
