Fan Ju's just-emerging smile faded, and he silently took a few gulps of alcohol before saying,
"There's nothing worth seeking out, sooner or later she will come back on her own."
Ling Hanxiao gave a light smile, "Fan Ju, this doesn't seem like your style."
"What style is that?"
"When it comes to Nie Rujun, you've always been like a child hoarding his own toy, not allowing others to touch it, and not tolerating anyone speaking ill of it. All these years, you've never let her out of your sight."
Taking a sip of his drink, Ling Hanxiao casually asked, "Really willing to stop looking? Not worried that she might be bullied out there?"
"If she's grown hard wings and wants to fly, then let her try flying."
Fan Ju mocked, "One day she'll realize that without my protection, she can't soar into the sky."
Hearing this, Ling Hanxiao shook his head, "Fan Ju, you really should try to understand what's in her heart, know what she truly wants, and recognize her."
