She just did not expect Lu Hetian to trigger the mechanism in front of her like that.
It was not just a show of his affection but more of his trust in his daughter.
Lu Liangwei's heart warmed. Right now, she was no longer excited about what kind of treasure he was going to give her.
Sitting down in a nearby chair, she saw Lu Hetian bring out a box from the bookshelf's hidden compartment.
Lu Liangwei's eyes lit up at this sight. Had Father hidden a chest of gold, and was he going to give it to her now?
Seeing her money-hungry expression, Lu Hetian shook his head helplessly and put the box on the table in front of her.
He seemed to be recalling something as his face shadowed with grief and his slender fingers stroked the edge of the box. For a long time, he did not speak.
Lu Liangwei looked at him quietly, not missing the flicker of sadness in her father's eyes when he looked at the box.
Her gaze could not help landing on the box.
