Yan Qingsi initially had a heavy heart but Yue Tingfengs words were so amusing that she nearly found herself in stitched. The gloominess in her heart dissipated significantly.

With him around, everything seemed to be less unbearable.

Yue Tingfeng hugged her and said, See, your daughter is actually still a kind girl. Shes still a good person. Of course, in my heart, shes the best no matter what kind of person she is. She can be nice or she can be evil, but I like every side of her. I think you feel the same way in your heart too. Your daughter is the best daughter.

Yan Songnan died and he shouldve died. Hes not fit to be alive and hes not fit to be pitied by anyone. Mom, Yan Qingsis problems are my problems. With me around, I wont let her carry all the weight that she shouldnt bear herself. You can leave her to me without worrying.

The more she listened, the weirder she felt. How could Yue Tingfeng call out Mom so naturally?

Yue Tingfeng turned to Yan Qingsi and said seriously, Yan Songnans dead. Its normal that youd feel sad because youre actually a very soft person. You always paint a bad image of yourself, but even after all those years and suffering, your ruthlessness has never truly taken over you. Being like this is good, very good.

No matter how bad of a person Yan Songnan was, he and Yan Qingsi were still related by bloodas father and daughter. That was something that could never be changed.

Surrounded by the pitter-patter of rain and the sea of graves, Yan Qingsis heart inexplicably calmed down.

No matter how hard her life was in the past, no one was ever beside her to comfort her. She was always alone. When she was injured, no one cared if she lived or died. She had gotten used to being overlooked and to use what little strength that she had to overcome the entire world.

Yue Tingfeng got involved with her regardless of anything that happened. From rejection to begrudging, and finally to their present status. The feeling, it seemed, was not half bad at all.

With someone beside her, she did not need to look up to know that he would be there to protect her. After some thought, she realized it was a very warming thing.

Just like this exact moment. By having him holding her hand, she could feel his warmth tunneling into her body as the rain landed on her face and coldness pierced through her bones.

Yan Qingsi moved her lips and said, Maybe, Im not sad because hes my father, but because hes dead and I cant avenge my mother anymore

Yue Tingfeng smiled and touched her nose. Silly girl. You shouldnt feel embarrassed because of that. You didnt disappoint anyone. Sadness is normal and blood ties are something that cant be changed

He stretched his hand and embraced her. I think its good that hes dead. Thatll free you, at least.

But my mom

Yue Tingfeng cut her off, Tsk Ive already called her Mom. Let me deal with my mother-in-laws issues, you dont need to worry about it

Yue Tingfengs attitudethat his mother-in-laws problems were his problems and he would deal with it so Yan Qingsi did not have to worrymade Yan Qingsi feel like she was an outsider. She did not know whether to cry or to laugh. Why are you like this?

Yue Tingfeng cocked a brow. What did I do?

Mother-in-law? Who agreed to it? Who said you call her that so casually?

Yue Tingfengs expression soured and he said, Whats wrong? Are you still going to go back on your word? My mother-in-law has already agreed. Do you think it makes a difference even if you raise any objections?
