He Lianfang heard up to this point and finally understood what Zhao Yao was grappling with.
"Are you afraid to get close to your father, the Emperor?"
Zhao Yao first nodded, then shook his head.
He Lianfang was confused by Zhao Yao and asked impatiently, "So are you, or are you not?"
"Second Uncle, it's not a matter of daring or not daring," Zhao Yao said, scratching his head in embarrassment. "I've never been close to my father since I was young. To suddenly try to be close to him—it's something I can't do, and it's really awkward."
He Lianfang had never seen how Zhao Yao interacted with the Emperor. However, hearing Zhao Yao speak like this, he somewhat understood his point.
"In the end, you're still afraid to get close."
