"Hmph, that insolent child hasn't turned tail and run away, so he has some courage left."
Ruyang King was full of despair, feeling like he couldn't mold him into anything useful. Despite his harsh words, he still had some affection for Sharlu, the Princely Heir. If it weren't for his great ambition but lack of talent, his laziness, and inability to fulfill great duties, how could the foundation of Ruyang Royal Mansion have fallen upon Wang Baobao?
Although he greatly appreciated and valued Wang Baobao, he was ultimately not his own flesh and blood, not sharing his surname or ancestry.
Yet, Sharlu proved himself unfit for great responsibilities, and if the foundation of Ruyang Royal Mansion were to fall into his hands, it would all be for naught. Therefore, Ruyang King's attitude was resolute: he couldn't pass the throne to Sharlu.
If he did, given Sharlu's intelligence, he might make some foolish decisions in the future, and perhaps accidentally offend Wang Baobao.
