Chapter 294: Coward

Duke Li Taojun had expected so much more out of this conversation. He wanted to apologize for being so late in her life. 

Duke Li Taojun wanted to form a father-daughter relationship with her. There was so much to be done, but he hadn't. He thought she'd at least hug him or shed a tear.

"Don't flatter yourself," Li Xueyue said with a small laugh. "The only contribution you had in my life was bringing me into this world, which by the way, no thank you."
