Xia Zhengtao suddenly came back to his senses. He glanced at Xia Wan, not missing the sadness that was enduring in her eyes.

She felt bad, his daughter...it was bad.

Then, Qingqing...

"Wanwan," Xia Zhengtao seemed to have grown a lot in an instant, but he was still trying to be strong. "It's okay, tell me, tell my father, I...I want to know, no matter how bad the result is, I... can bear it."

It should still be alive...

While he was talking, he stopped his move that he wanted to pick up the teacup, and finally he was unable to fall.

“Say it…”

Xia Wan was silent for two seconds, and finally sat next to him, holding Xia Zhengtao's arm like she was acting coquettish when she was a child. Then, she was organized and paid attention to his emotions, and told him the past that Ye Qing admitted was completely.

When the last word was said, she clearly felt Xia Zhengtao's body becoming more and more stiff.

Somehow, she suddenly became a little uncertain. Should she tell him the rest?

Can he... bear it?

"dad……"

His lips moved again and again, and Xia Zhengtao almost turned his head mechanically.

Only then did Xia Wan see his red eyes.

At this moment, she suddenly understood that even though her biological mother was not the one who loved him, even though there were other people around him over the years, her mother was still the cinnabar mole in his heart, and she couldn't erase it.

It was as if...she had penetrated his bones.

"She must be alive, sure!" Xia Zhengtao suddenly became excited, grabbed Xia Wan's hand and said repeatedly, "Your mother has always been lucky and she must be alive!"

However, despite what he said so surely, in fact...

Xia Zhengtao suddenly lowered his hand.

Xia Wan was also sour, but she was still firm and told him with certainty: "I also believe that my mother must be alive and will definitely find her. No matter how slim the hope is, I will not give up."

Tears were about to fall down when they were very unreliable. Xia Zhengtao quickly turned his head and wiped them randomly, not wanting Xia Wan to see them.

"It's...right..." He just echoed incoherently.

Xia Wan covered the back of his hand.

The sudden temperature miraculously calmed Xia Zhengtao down.

Soon, he realized that he thought of another question.
