There was a smile on Wen Xi’s face, but it was uglier than her own crying face. Her eyes were red, and after she said those words, she lowered her head to hide it, as if she was trying to control her emotions.

Xiao Ping and Wen Liang were stunned by Wen Xi’s sudden emotional change. Xiao Ping glanced at Wen Xi’s hand and sat back in her seat in a daze.

When Wen Liang saw his precious daughter cry, he immediately became anxious and said in a warm voice, “Xixi, what’s wrong? Did you suffer any grievances in the Chen family? Have you been quarreling with Chen Ze? Or did he say something bad to you? Can you tell Mom and Dad? Your mother has always been like this. She didn’t mean her words, and she’s really not blaming you for anything. Xixi, be good, and don’t cry. Your father’s heart will break if you cry like this.”

The tears in Wen Xi’s eyes did not actually flow out, but when she heard father’s gentle words of comfort, the grievances and sadness in her heart were like a flood that had burst out of a dam that could not be closed. Her tears fell drop by drop onto the ground. She looked up at Wen Liang and slowly let go of Xiao Ping’s hand.

Wen Liang’s heart was about to break when he saw his daughter’s tears. He quickly stood up and strode to her side, raising his hand to gently press her little head into his arms, just like how she did when she was younger.

She buried her crying face in her father’s arms. Wen Xi had become a child with a family again. It was not a cold place like the Chen family. On the other hand, her family was a harbor that sheltered her from the wind and rain.

“Dad, I’m so tired. I want to go home.” Wen Xi’s emotions were a little out of control as she muttered her grief.

Wen Liang held Wen Xi, who was trembling slightly from crying, and stroked her hair with his big, warm hands. He gently replied, “Good, good. Father wants our Xixi to go home as well. Good child, don’t cry.”

In the end, mothers and daughters were still connected. When Xiao Ping saw Wen Xi crying so hard, her eyes slowly turned red. Although she did care about Chen Ze, it was not as serious as Wen Xi’s previous accusations. She was temporarily blinded by those things and could not see her daughter’s difficult situation, but it was not to the point where she put the cart before the horse. She still loved Wen Xi, but she had a sharp mouth and a soft heart.

The things that Wen Xi had asked her before really made her feel as if she had been struck by lightning. It was as if she had come back to her senses and suddenly woke up, feeling completely sober!

Xiao Ping thought about what her daughter had just said. It was not her fault that Chen Ze was cold and indifferent to her family, and it was not something she could control. Xiao Ping was indeed in the wrong. She should not have been so impatient, and she should not have ignored Wen Xi’s feelings by questioning her so much and trying to teach her a lesson.

Xiao Ping was already starting to regret it. She looked at Wen Xi in Wen Liang’s arms, pursed her lips, and lowered her voice by two degrees. “Alright, alright! It’s Mom’s fault. Mom shouldn’t have said that to you. Don’t cry, Xixi, I won’t call him. Let’s eat and cut the cake, the food will get cold.”

Like a willful child, Wen Xi leaned into her father’s arms. She had the right to be presumptuous now. She cried for a while, her emotions coming and going quickly.

After listening to her mother’s apology, she slowly reined in her somewhat out-of-control emotions. She raised her head and reached out to take the tissue that Xiao Ping handed over. After trying to calm down, she smiled gently at her parents and said, “I’m done. Let’s eat.”

After carefully looking at his precious daughter a few times, Wen Liang finally let out a sigh of relief. He raised his hand and gently pinched her beautiful and exquisite little face. His doting gesture was self-evident. He looked at her smiling face and said helplessly, “Child, why are you still the same as when you were young? Your tears still come and go as you please.”

Xiao Ping also sighed as she looked at her daughter and husband with a faint smile. She got up and served them two bowls of seafood soup.
