She cuddled Dabao in her arms after walking into the main room, thinking about how she had to reason with the child again.
In the male-dominated ancient times, Chu Lingxuan himself had a powerful family, a top-tier career, and assertive personality. His acceptance of Dabao and the warm treatment shown to him were already significant feats. Chen Afu felt that his kindness to Dabao was due to her kind treatment of Ms. Chu, his own considerate nature, and perhaps his intense love for her.
She hoped Dabao would appreciate this kindness. Even if he couldn't instantly regard Chu Lingxuan as a dear father, he should at least show him respect in public and not harbor any petty thoughts. He thought he was clever and good at hiding, but the adults saw through everything.
But how should she address this? Chen Afu found it somewhat tricky. It's necessary to handle sensitive and suspicious kids tactfully, or it might backfire.
