Gu Qingyuan was hidden by Lu Xiao in a safe yet concealed location; no one could find Lu Xiao, nor could they know what kind of dangerous place Gu Qingyuan was hidden in.
However, Lu Xiao was the only person who knew the specific location, so what Shen Biran could hope for was that Lu Xiao would inform him of Gu Qingyuan's whereabouts.
"Everything you're doing now will only make Nuannuan and me despise you more. If you don't want this hatred to deepen, don't do this."
Lu Xiao's actions completely contradicted his purpose.
He planned to have Gu Xiaonuan become his heir, and Shen Biran could also define his behavior as a particular action just for her.
It was to compensate for the past wrongs he inflicted on the mother and daughter, and also to heal her inner, immense trauma.
These actions were justified, not without reason.
Yet despite this, he could not clearly explain what drove him to have such a mad desire.
