"Isn't this fine?" His Majesty the King waved his hand dismissively and said, "Although I am the King, I am also the father of her child. Logically speaking, she should call me Uncle, so I am considered her elder."
"We should show some respect to our elders, but we don't need to be too deliberate. It's better to be more relaxed."
“I really like it when she talks to me like this.”
"But Shaoyong... the problem now doesn't seem to be the tone of your little girl's voice when she talks to me, does it? The problem now is that your little girl is complaining to me. What? Don't you need to explain or refute her?"
Gu Shaoyong felt utterly helpless.
Don't you already know the reason? What's there to explain? It's too dangerous! My wife and I only have this one precious daughter. If she gets into danger, my family is finished.
I'm willing to do anything dangerous for our great nation, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to let my daughter do it too.
I am me, and my daughter is my daughter.
Our individual families and our collective families are all part of the same family.
I can't sacrifice my own family for the sake of everyone else, can I?
That's impossible, impossible in a lifetime, impossible in ten lifetimes.
No matter what, my wife and daughter are always the most important!
Gu Shaoyong's eyes gradually changed from helplessness to determination, but before he could speak, the king spoke up: "Xiao Wu will go too. I'm also reluctant to let him go. After all, he's never been abroad before, except for that trip to Xichuan. But it's good for him to go out and see the world. It will broaden his horizons and increase his knowledge."
"My child can't be someone who's narrow-minded and only knows how to talk theory."
“Your children should be the same.”
"You only have one child. I know that deep down, you definitely hope that she can grow up safely, healthily, happily, and without worries, even if she is just an ordinary child..."
Gu Shaoyong nodded repeatedly.
His Majesty the King shook his head and said, "How I wish my children could be ordinary and grow up healthy and happy! But it's not possible. My great nation is now rebuilding from scratch, and they have no right to be ordinary."
"Of course, I also know that my son and your daughter are actually different. My son was born with a natural responsibility, but your daughter is different."
"She has no inherent responsibilities. If she wants, she can grow up happily, carefree, and mediocre, just as you wish."
"But ask yourself honestly, is your daughter that kind of person?"
At this point, His Majesty the King smiled again before continuing, "I remember this child is someone with great ambitions, isn't he?"
“Yes, yes, yes!” Yun Duo nodded vigorously from the side, like a chick pecking at rice.
His Majesty the King couldn't help but laugh, pointing to the clouds to signal Gu Shaoyong to look.
What are you looking at...?
Gu Shaoyong felt quite helpless. It was true that his daughter had great ambitions, and he supported her, but that didn't mean he supported her taking risks.
Gu Shaoyong, with a bitter face, forced himself to say, "Your Majesty, it is good for a child to have lofty ambitions from a young age, but having lofty ambitions does not mean that he must do great things immediately. One must eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. One cannot want to do something earth-shattering when one is still learning to walk."
Yunduo looked 'surprised': "Dad, what are you talking about? I just wanted to go out and play for a while... Could it be that you're hiding something from me and Mom?"
