Zhao Yan was not concerned about this point. Being a person of few words did not mean one didn't know how to speak. Often, he felt that Zhao Xuanzhi was simply inscrutable; he remained silent when he had nothing to say, but when he did speak, he went straight for the heart. Moreover, ever since the two children were small, Zhao Yan had consciously taught them the Five-Animal Frolics to strengthen their bodies, as well as some self-defense techniques to save their lives in times of danger. As they grew older, he specifically hired a martial arts master to instruct them. While the children might look unremarkable in their daily lives, they could actually take down an opponent in an instant when they chose to strike.
In the past, he had worried that the two might use their martial arts to bully others indiscriminately. He still vividly remembered the time Zhao Qingyao had knocked someone’s teeth out. He had spent his time offering gifts and personally calling on the family to apologize, and it was only thanks to the Shen Family's magnanimity that they hadn't held it against her.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan suddenly realized something was off. "Don't tell me that boy from the Shen Family has had his eye on Yaoyao since they were children?" The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. He became so preoccupied that he didn't even notice he had stopped massaging Gu Muling.
