Father Shen’s character was stubborn, so he insisted on pressing the card into his daughter’s hands.
Perhaps to outsiders, his actions would be considered an expression of fatherly love.
But Shen Qinghuan saw guilt in Father Shen’s clear eyes.
Even so, Father Shen never once owed her anything. Even when he was busy with work, he always made sure she had everything she needed.
Shen Qinghuan responded that, if Father Shen insisted on giving her his card, then she would prefer to use all of the money it contained to purchase all of Father Shen’s upcoming work hours.
It was at this moment that Father Shen grew to understand his daughter’s actual feelings.
Only then did Father Shen eventually take his card back.
After she closed her door, Father Shen stood by the staircase to chatter endlessly to his wife on the phone: Now that the high school entrance examinations have ended, Huan Huan’s hair color isn’t the only thing that has changed. In many other areas, she has also grown mature.
Shen Haotian instructed his wife on the other end: It has been quite some time since their family of three went out on a family trip. No matter how busy she was, she needed to make time to return home.
The next day.
Shen Qinghuan had arranged to meet Lu Ziheng at an agreed time. Thus, she woke up early to wash up.
Yet when she passed by the living room, she was surprised to see that Father Shen was still at home. She casually asked, “Father, why haven’t you left for work?”
Shen Qinghuan suddenly appeared behind Shen Haotian, giving him a fright.
It turns out that after last night’s conversation, Shen Haotian decided that from today onwards, he would be a loving parent and a good father who would accompany his child for every single one of her meals.
Thus, he specially applied for a leave from his company today. No one had been able to argue against the reason he provided.
He stated that his precious baby daughter had just finished her high school entrance examinations. He was worried she would be lonely at home and wanted to take a day off to drive his daughter and her friend to the amusement park for some fun.
Father Shen clearly believed Li Xiaojie and Shen Qinghuan were still as close as sisters. Earlier, he even specially made a call to invite Li Xiaojie to visit his home for breakfast.
“Huan Huan.” However, as Shen Haotian spoke, he gradually realized he had been a little too excited. He cleared his throat. “Are you unhappy? How about we change to a different place. Let’s not go to the amusement park…”
“I’m not unhappy.” Shen Qinghuan shook her head. She did not have the heart to let her father down.
She was happy.
She was happy to the point where she almost died. ̄_(ツ)_/ ̄
Originally, she planned to meet Lu Ziheng in school after Father Shen left for work.
But plans often could not accommodate for sudden changes.
She did not have any time to reply to Lu Ziheng and request that he not wait for her today. Li Xiaojie was already pressing on their doorbell.
Children in their puberty were especially prone to jealousy.
Whenever Li Xiaojie saw the Shen family’s large villa, her thoughts would become twisted.
In Shen Qinghuan’s previous life, she had been foolish and never noticed the thoughts Li Xiaojie had hidden deeply.
Shen Qinghuan always naively believed she was helping Li Xiaojie. However, Li Xiaojie always twisted her ‘help’ into a pretentious act of charity.
People from different worlds would always have difficulties connecting with each other.
It was a rare occasion where Father Shen was personally cooking. When he saw Li Xiaojie, he warmly welcomed her, “Xiaojie, have you eaten?”
“Ah, Uncle, I was worried I would be delayed by the early rush hour on the subway, so I came earlier…”
“If you wish to freeload our family’s food, say it directly. What’s the point of taking so many turns!”
Shen Qinghuan directly exposed Li Xiaojie’s thoughts. She was trying to get rid of Li Xiaojie so as to make time to send Lu Ziheng a message.
“Qinghuan.” However, Li Xiaojie’s skin was much thicker than others. Shen Qinghuan’s words had directly targeted her, yet she still sat by the dining table to wait for Father Shen’s good food. Her gaze was even somewhat clouded, “Have you yet to manage your depression from failing the high school entrance examinations?”
