Huo Tian leaned over and wrapped her arms around the back of the chair, hugging Ding Chen’s neck. Her muffled voice came from behind. “I’m sorry, Uncle. I didn’t know anything, but I threw a tantrum at you.”

Ding Chen smiled and patted Huo Tian’s hand. “Well, I am your uncle and you’re our family’s little princess. You can throw your temper at me as if it’s natural. As long as you don’t get angry for too long and can be coaxed back by me, it’s fine.”

Huo Tian’s voice still sounded a little down. She nodded and said, “I’m very easy to coax. And I’ll never be really angry at you.”

Ding Chen smiled and said in a deliberately relaxed tone, “The most successful thing that bastard did in his life was to provide you with half of your genes.”

Huo Tian burst out laughing.

When the two of them reconciled and walked into the house, it was impossible to tell that they had quarreled before.

To her surprise, Xi Cheng did not stay in the Ding Family’s small house that night. Without Xi Cheng stealing Ding Rong’s attention, Ding Rong finally realized that she seemed to have neglected her brother and daughter during this period of time. She spent a lot of effort preparing a feast for them, appeasing the little food lover, Huo Tian.

Huo Tian went to her workshop to work on her stuff happily, but Ding Rong and Ding Chen did not go to do their own things. They sat together and chatted for a while.

Ding Rong was filled with guilt towards Ding Chen’s attitude. Of course, she had not forgotten that Ding Chen had accidentally killed someone in order to protect her when she was pregnant. It was precisely because of this that she could not face her younger brother, who had always been protecting her.

“Little Chen, I’m sorry.” Ding Rong thought about it for a long while and said slowly, “I’ve never forgotten the undeserved calamities you suffered back then. It’s just that it’s been too long since I last saw him. This feels just like a dream. I want to let myself sink into a beautiful dream for the time being, taking it as making up for the regret in my heart…”

Ding Chen slowly took a few puffs of his cigarette. “Sister, I can’t comment on your love life. I just don’t understand why you can accept him again without any grudges after suffering so much because of him?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ding Rong’s lips twitched and she said, “Because I just want to love again without any restraint before I wake up from this dream. Little Chen, of course I know that you should have a bright future ahead of you. If it wasn’t for the hidden dangers he left behind, if it wasn’t to protect me, you might have graduated from a famous university and already found like-minded friends and a wife with similar interests in school…”

Ding Chen turned his face away awkwardly and said in a soft voice, “Sister, don’t talk about this anymore. If I had continued to attend school back then, my grades might have suddenly plummeted and I might not even be able to get into a good high school. Or even if I had gone to university and looked for a job after graduation, I wouldn’t have been able to have my current career. There’s nothing worth feeling regret for in my life.

“But even if the results are good, I mustn’t forget the sacrifices you made for me.”

Ding Rong held Ding Chen’s hand and said gently, “I’m sorry, these few days will be the last time I act willfully. From now on, I won’t meet him again and won’t let him disturb our lives. Our family of three will still support and keep each other company as we did in the past, okay?”

Ding Chen even forgot to smoke the cigarette in his mouth. He looked at Ding Rong in a daze, his expression looking a little puzzled and there was also some disbelief. After a long while, he asked, “Sister, do you know what you’re talking about? That’s the person you’ve been thinking about for more than ten years. He has returned.. For so many years, he didn’t form a family with another woman. Even the reason for his departure and disappearance was due to difficulties he faced…”
