From Admiral Clan's perspective, there was nothing wrong with Lu Xiao's decision. After all, Ares was in a situation where he couldn't afford any distractions.
However, as Lu Xiao's Father, he also wished she would prioritize herself, just like all the other Females in the Empire who only had to think of themselves.
He felt himself becoming very conflicted. On one hand, he was glad his daughter wasn't like the other Females in the Empire—not willful, not arrogant, and certainly not one to make unreasonable scenes or casually trample on a male's dignity.
On the other hand, he wished Lu Xiao could be selfish and think only of herself.
He only realized at that moment that the more time he spent with Lu Xiao, the stronger his selfish desires became.
When Admiral Clan gave his assurance, Lu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. She trusted him completely, knowing he would never go back on a promise.
