Qi Yongrui had nothing to say against Luo Huian's remarks. What was he supposed to even say? What Luo Huian told him was indeed correct; it was a good thing that he wanted to help someone, but what was the point of helping someone when he didn't even have the slightest bit of an idea of what he was doing and thinking? Just like these two kids.
He knew in his heart that he would have to return them to Ye Jinglan, who would never treat them well, and yet he rushed to help them. By doing so, he only made things difficult for Nan Zhi and Nan Wu. Not only would Ye Jinglan bully them worse than ever, even they would also have a hard time since they were no longer used to the sufferings that they had faced in the past.
The more Qi Yongrui thought about it, the more worried he became.
"Don't think about it too much now," said Luo Huian when she saw the mer frowning harder than ever. "Since it had already happened, we can only deal with the consequences now."
