"Seeing you take such good care of Suihe, we are relieved, but we don't plan on staying here permanently," Bai Jingwen continued. "We will keep moving forward. Our true destination is Quangang."
The family had just sat down and dismissed all the servants, so there was nothing they couldn't speak about freely.
Bai Suihe asked, "Father, are you also involved in maritime shipping?"
