314 OVERTHROW THE BLACK SWORD CLAN edited (1/2)

”Since General Wang Yu is here, let's talk about this in three days from now.” He said.

Carye let out a sigh of relief while Rindy was unable to conceal her smugness as she raised her chin up in a proud way.

But, Senja sensed a feeling of amusement in the air. Not from the family of three nor Xiao Tianyao, she had never been able to sense his emotions anyway. However, this feeling came from the patriarch to her left. Senja glanced at him, just in time to see him hide a smirk and pretend to drink his tea.

**Something's going on! **

Senja shot a glance at Xiao Tianyao beside her, but the poker face didn't betray a jot. Finally, she shrugged her shoulder and nonchalantly decided to eat the fruits on the table.

No rush, she could ask him anytime.

With Xiao Tianyao's answer the conversation about the engagement ended. Wang Yu who hadn't spoken until now, finally spoke up.

”Senja, come to father's study after lunch.” Wang Yu ordered.

”Yes, father.”

Senja was prepared for this. Yet, Xiao Tianyao to her right suddenly tensed up.

”Yes, both of you need to talk alone. Your father must have missed you very much, even though he doesn't show it on the surface.” Carye was all motherly.

”Yes, sister… You have been gone for quite a long time.” Rindy chimed in.

The other Senja's letter had mentioned how bad her father had been treating her. It wouldn't be any different now, would it?

.....

After lunch, Senja followed Wang Yu to his study while Xiao Tianyao and Elder Dam stayed in the pavilion with Rindy and Carye.

Senja followed Wang Yu a step behind all the while assessing his emotions and pretty much guessed what awaited her.

”Close the door.” Wang Yu barked as he took a seat behind his desk.

Senja did as she was told and closed the door slowly. She wore an obedient face while looking down at her toes. She reckoned this was the way the other Senja had acted all the time.

”Now, you can drop your pretense and tell me why you are here and not in Xinghe.” Wang Yu intertwined his fingers and propped his chin on it while observing his daughter in front of him.

**Xinghe?! **

Senja racked her brain. The way he questioned her was so odd. It almost felt like he knew something. Since Senja was clueless to begin with so she didn't have an answer. The best answer was no answer, so she kept mum.

”Did Modama send you back?”
