ugh puddles as vehicles navigated the busy streets. Their wheels churned up muddy rainwater in low-lying areas.The rain that started this morning brought with it a chill, penetrating to the bone.Rain..."Me" Leng Yanchen was puzzled when a fist flew towards him from the corner of his eye.

He pulled Qin Nianxia aside, dodging quickly.

Qin Lie swung and missed, stumbling back.

Qin Nianxia worried that Qin Lie would fall because of this, so she immediately rushed over and helped him up.

Unexpectedly, with a loud slap, Qin Lie mercilessly slapped Qin Nianxia.

This was something Leng Yanchen hadn't anticipated, he didn't even have time to stop Qin Lie from slapping Qin Nianxia.

He never expected a father to be so cruel to his daughter.

"You ungrateful daughter!"

As Qin Lie roared angrily, Qin Nianxia turned her head away. Five fingerprints were strikingly visible on her snow-white cheek.

Qin Nianxia trembled her lips, covering her face that burned with pain, and looked at Qin Lie with sorrowful eyes, questioning: "You have never fulfilled the responsibility of a father, why do you ask me to be filial"

"Have I not fulfilled my duty as a father You grew up this large, wasn't it because I raised you" Qin Lie was furious, his temples throbbing with veins bulging out.

Qin Nianxia couldn't help but go hysterical: "Apart from providing me with material life, what have you ever given me You haven't given me anything!"

She finished speaking, then turned and ran away.

Qin Lie stood rooted to the spot, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists.

Leng Yanchen ignored Qin Lie and ran after the direction Qin Nianxia was running towards.

He strode after her and grabbed Qin Nianxia's arm.

Just as he pulled her in front of him, he realized that the girl before him had red-rimmed eyes from crying.

Qin Nianxia trembled with her shoulders, crying with pear blossoms and rain.

Facing Leng Yanchen, she quickly and skillfully wiped away her tears, sniffed, and asked: "What brings you here"

"This is a main road, what do you want me to chase over here for" Leng Yanchen asked back.

Qin Nianxia raised her eyelids and glanced at Leng Yanchen, then pointed at his chest and asked, "Can I borrow this from you"

"What" Leng Yanchen didn't react for a moment.

Qin Nianxia didn't say a word, and directly threw herself into Leng Yanchen's arms, burying her face in his chest, crying helplessly like a helpless child.

"Woooooo—"

Her little hand clutched at his shirt, her whole body trembling with sobs.

Cold Yanchen couldn't help but furrow his brows.

There was a moment when the image of Xing'er crying in his arms flashed through his mind like a slideshow.

At the same time, in a white sedan, Song Yunxi was driving while glancing sideways at the roadside. By chance, she caught sight of Qin Nianxia tightly hugging Leng Yanchen.

Because it was just a fleeting glance, she hadn't seen clearly what Leng Yanchen's reaction was. However, at this moment, she felt as if something had pierced her heart, both painful and sour, making her breathless.

Song Yunxi took a deep breath, withdrew her gaze, and tried to calm herself down. She focused on driving away.

Here, I don't know how long has passed…

After Qin Nianxia finished crying, she looked up at Leng Yanchen and suddenly asked, "Do you still keep your word"

Leng Yanchen tilted his head in confusion: "What counts and what doesn't"

"It's about the investment you made in my studio!" Qin Nianxia replied earnestly.

Leng Yanchen smiled faintly, raised an eyebrow: "Of course."

Qin Nianxia sniffed, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and waved to Leng Yanchen: "From now on, we owe each other nothing. Remember to have your assistant come over and sign the contract with me."

"I will explain at your father's place." Leng Yanchen continued.

Qin Nianxia shook her head slightly: "It's okay, no need to explain. Anyway, he wouldn't believe it even if you did."

"Actually, you care about your father quite a bit," Leng Yanchen pointed out. "Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone to help him just now."

"How's your father to you" Qin Nianxia asked in return.

Leng Yanchen paused for a moment before replying, "In my memory, my father favored my sister more."

"So, you're saying your father loves your sister but not you" Qin Nianxia couldn't help but gossip.

Leng Yanchen shook his head again: "I think every parent loves their child, it's just that the way they love is different."

Anyway, my mom and dad don't love me. " Qin Nianxia said unconcernedly.

Cold Yanchen continued, "I think your father loves you very much. The day he learned you were missing, he was so anxious that he almost attacked me."

"You saw it too, didn't you Every time he sees me, if I do something that displeases him, he just hits me. It's been like this since I was a child. He loves me, that's why!" Qin Nianxia said with a face full of grievance.

“其實你父親……”冷晏琛隨後欲言又止。

He originally wanted to tell her that Qin Lie's actions were all out of kindness because of her illness.

But he still didn't say it out loud.

Qin Nianxia didn't want to hear him keep speaking up for Qin Lie: "I think you should stop defending my father. Anyway, I know his temperament better than you."

"At least, your father is right about one thing, he has never deprived you materially." Leng Yanchen changed his approach.

Qin Nianxia understood Leng Yanchen's intentions, but she just chuckled: “You wouldn’t understand how I feel.”tween us! Don’t torture yourself anymore…”"Are you really married""Yes, I'm actually already married.""Divorce him and come back to me, okay""Xiao Wei, don't do that."“Mo Mo, can we please start over...
