Small Courtyard

Ding Rong was Huo Tian's biological mother. Although most people who had interacted with this mother-daughter pair would say that their personalities were completely different, there were indeed parts of their personalities that were the same.

Like Huo Tian, Ding Rong was not good at lying. This was especially so when facing people who were close to them. They would be especially bad at going against their true thoughts.

Hence, facing Xi Cheng's gaze that was filled with expectations, Ding Rong could not say things like "I don't want to stay with you". She slowly nodded and let Xi Cheng take her hand and led her to leave the narrow tailor shop.

Huo Tian waved at Xi Cheng. "Dad, take good care of Mom. Don't let her cry anymore."

Xi Cheng nodded solemnly. "This will be the goal I'll work hard for for the rest of my life."
