Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although Chen Ze did not make the call in the end, he felt an unprecedented sense of guilt in his heart. He felt guilty for not accompanying Wen Xi to her home today. However, this kind of strange guilt was not much, as it only lasted for a few seconds.

Chen Ze had his dinner alone. When he returned to their bedroom, he looked at the dark room and suddenly felt a sense of loss. He shook his head slightly to get rid of this inexplicable feeling and went back to bed with the book in his hand.

He had a habit of reading before bed, so the lamp that Wen Xi had installed at their bedside table was very soothing, suitable for reading at night. She would also prepare a glass of warm milk for him before going to bed. Of course, Chen Ze never truly took notice of Wen Xi’s gentle and considerate care toward him.

However, Wen Xi, who was currently at the Wen family’s residence, was not aware of the changes in Chen Ze’s body and heart.

She had drunk a lot of plum wine that night. Although she wasn’t drunk, she was still a little tipsy. Her eyes were red because of her emotional ups and downs, and due to the alcohol intoxication, her white cheeks were red. She looked like a steamed crab, pitiful but beautiful.

In the end, Wen Liang didn’t have the heart to open his precious daughter’s wound. He looked at Wen Xi with eyes full of pain and raised his hand to wipe her tears. Exhaling the turbid air in his chest, he said in a soft and low voice, “I know that you’re a child with many ideas. I don’t expect you to become rich, but I just want you to be safe and happy in your life. If you’re not happy with Chen Ze, then I’ll support you to divorce him.”

“The Chen family and our Wen family are very different. I’ve known the difference since long ago, which was why I didn’t approve of your marriage with Chen Ze. I know that you’ve always liked him. I couldn’t persuade you back then, so I only dared to silently hope that he would treat you differently in the future. However, the reality is that you two never had a mutual relationship, so this marriage is destined to not last long.”

“Dad doesn’t want to expose your scars at this time, but there are some things that must be understood clearly! As long as you’ve made up your mind, I’ll always support you. You can make some mistakes in your life, but you can’t be disappointed in yourself. If Chen Ze is not the right man for you, then you will get someone else. I don’t wish for you to regret your past life. You are Wen Xi of the Wen family, the eternal pride of Dad and Mom. We hope that you will be a tenacious flower that can withstand the trials and hardships of life, not a delicate flower that lives in a greenhouse and can not withstand hardships.”

Wen Liang’s eyes slowly turned red after he said that. He was very heartbroken about his daughter’s failed marriage, but he did not show any attitude of not supporting Wen Xi to start over.

He knew how difficult it was for her to give up on Chen Ze. It would be cruel if they, as her parents, still gave Wen Xi a heavy blow at this time. He would not do it, and he would not let Xiao Ping do it.

Wen Liang looked at Wen Xi’s red eyes as a warm smile appeared on his face. It was as tolerant as the sea, as if it could accommodate all of her willfulness and playfulness. He said to her in a gentle voice, “Alright, stop crying! Your mom and I will always welcome you home. Your little room will always be open for you.”

In fact, Wen Xi was a little nervous about being honest with her parents about the divorce today. She knew that her father would definitely support her, but when Wen Liang said to her “Your mom and I will always welcome you home”, she burst into tears again.

She looked at Wen Liang with a touched expression on her face. She called out “Dad” and lowered her head with mixed feelings. However, a bright and beautiful light had lit up in her eyes. That was the confidence and courage that Wen Liang gave her!

Xiao Ping sat next to the father and daughter with a hesitant look on her face. Her expression was complicated and distressed. Wen Liang naturally knew what she was going to say, so he didn’t give her any chance to speak. After patting Wen Xi’s little head, he urged Wen Xi to go back to her room to wash up and sleep.
