Caring Daughter
Huo Tian crossed her arms and rambled on. She tried her best to prove that she would definitely not be angry if her parents were to share some of their love with her younger siblings. It was as if Ding Rong already had a small life in her stomach.
Ding Rong could not help but laugh when she saw Huo Tian trying her best to suppress her fatigue and explain seriously. “Alright, alright. Of course Mom believes that you won’t be jealous of a child. However, the problem now is that your father and I haven’t discussed whether we should have another child. Moreover, we’re not young anymore and our physical conditions are no longer the same as when we were young. It’s not like we can get a child just because we want one.”
Huo Tian pouted, feeling that her serious explanation earlier was a little wasted.
Ding Rong looked at the gloominess on Huo Tian’s face and seemed to be able to understand Huo Tian’s thoughts. She hugged her daughter again and said with a smile, “No matter if we’ll have another child or not, I’m very grateful for the words Tiantian said to me. Previously, your father and I felt that you had suffered too much in the Huo Family, so we kept thinking of making it up to you. These thoughts shackled us and also brought you a psychological burden. If it wasn’t for the words you said tonight, I think we would have needed a long time to let go of the knot in our hearts.”
Only then did Huo Tian feel that what she had said was meaningful, so she felt relieved. She had never been someone who kept things to herself. After finishing the talk with Ding Rong, the fatigue she had been suppressing returned. Her eyelids felt heavy. She half-closed her eyes and said softly, “Mom don’t ever have to thank me.”
Ding Rong smiled as she watched Huo Tian slide under the blanket like a sleepy kitten. She yawned and fell into a deep sleep. Ding Rong planted a soft kiss on Huo Tian’s forehead lovingly again. Although she knew that Huo Tian couldn’t hear her, she still said “goodnight” with love before getting up and leaving quietly.
When she returned to the manor’s master bedroom, Ding Rong saw that her husband had already changed into his pajamas and was lying on the bed. However, he hadn’t slept yet. When he saw his wife coming back, he asked, “Why were you gone for so long? What did you talk to Tiantian about?”
Ding Rong had just been touched by her daughter once. When she heard her husband’s question, she suddenly felt at ease.
She lay down on the other side of the bed and faced Xi Cheng. The gentleness in her eyes made Xi Cheng feel a little embarrassed and his body felt a little hot.
Xi Cheng asked softly, “Cough, why are you looking at me like that?”
Xi Cheng was the one who was better at expressing his emotions between them. Compared to him, Ding Rong was much more reserved, but at this moment, Ding Rong was looking at him with an expression filled with emotions. This made Xi Cheng feel a little strange.
Ding Rong smiled brightly. “Do you know what Tiantian said to me just now?”
How could Xi Cheng guess? However, at this moment, he did not mind admitting that he was not that omnipotent. He shook his head. “I can’t guess, but I think Tiantian must have done something very heartwarming, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so happy.”
Ding Rong nodded and said, “Tiantian said just now to let us consider having another child”
These words alone made Xi Cheng’s eyes widen in surprise. Under his shocked gaze, Ding Rong told him about her conversation with Huo Tian. In the end, the shock on Xi Cheng’s face had already turned to gratitude.
He was speechless for a moment before saying, “I never knew that Tiantian was so attentive. She’s doing this for our sake. Facing such a caring and obedient daughter, I feel even more unqualified.”
Xi Cheng shrank under the blanket and blinked quietly, not letting his tears show in front of Ding Rong.
However, how could Ding Rong not understand her husband? She patted the blanket on Xi Cheng as if she was facing Huo Tian and said with a smile, “Are you touched by Tiantian? It’s okay, it’s not embarrassing.”
Xi Cheng felt awkward from being teased. He was driven into anger from feeling ashamed and wrapped his arm around Ding Rong’s waist, dragging her into his embrace
