Throughout the meal, the dinner table remained quiet. Lu Xiao, having long since sampled the cooking at Count Ge Wei's Mansion, took only a few bites, her desire to go home growing stronger by the second.
Thankfully, the torturous dinner was finally coming to an end.
But then, Admiral Clan—who sat opposite her and hadn't said a single word the entire time—suddenly spoke up. "I hear you're working at the Fifth Research Institute now?"
Lu Xiao never expected Admiral Clan to strike up a conversation with her. In her memories, her relationship with this Father amounted to little more than greeting him as such when they met.
Admiral Clan had never shown any fatherly affection toward her or the other girls.
"Yes, Father. I'm currently a full-time therapist at the Fifth Research Institute." Since Admiral Clan had asked, she answered without hesitation.
'After all, there was nothing to be ashamed of about the job.'
