Yes, in order to stay, young Master Zhan Lingtao had been thinking of ways to achieve that during the journey.
Actually, when he returned to Ailan Castle and found out that Ou Xiaolan had already moved away, he was planning to throw a major tantrum; he was even prepared for the inevitable skinning he'd receive from Dad once he started.
But before he could even kick up a fuss, Dad had readily agreed to take him to Ou Xiaolan's home.
Therefore, he came to a conclusion: Dad really, really wanted to visit Ou Xiaolan's home too.
On the way there, he had been pondering how to get Dad's consent to stay over at Ou Xiaolan's house, but found no good strategy except to throw a fit again.
So, he prepared himself once more for the potential skinning by Dad.
But, it turned out to be unnecessary worry; Dad was actually supportive of his fussing.
Thus, young Master Zhan Lingtao came to another conclusion: Like him, Dad was also incredibly fond of Ou Xiaolan.
