Chapter 389 - 389 Mom Knows Everything
389 Mom Knows Everything
Men have always been naive and childish by nature. No matter how old he was or how steady and reliable he looked on the surface, Ding Rong had understood this principle from her interactions with Xi Cheng when she was young.
20 years ago, Xi Cheng was a powerful and domineering leader in front of outsiders. He would not stop until he saw blood in a fight and would be cold when he accepted someone else’s request. Who would have thought that in front of his lover, he was just a happy and ordinary man? He would act spoiled towards his wife, would be happy for her consideration and gentleness, and would also be childishly jealous because his wife smiled at another man…
For many years, the Xi Cheng who frequently appeared in Ding Rong’s memories was also such a vivid Xi Cheng. However, after their reunion, Xi Cheng no longer revealed his naive and childish side. Although he still yearned to be close to Ding Rong as much as before, he had become reliable and reserved, becoming a little unfamiliar to Ding Rong.
Ding Rong thought that she needed to slowly get used to a husband who had become unfamiliar to her. She was not confident that she could successfully transfer her love for her young husband from 20 years ago to this strong but unfamiliar husband. Fortunately, this Xi Cheng, who was a little “abnormal” tonight, made Ding Rong realize that his true nature was still that young man from before. It was just that as time passed, he had experienced more storms and was increasingly good at hiding his true nature.
As she managed to see a familiar side of her husband, Ding Rong was in a good mood. The smile on her lips had not disappeared even after the short distance she took to Huo Tian’s bedroom.
Ding Rong’s expression was so obvious that Huo Tian couldn’t pretend not to see it even if she wanted to.
The moment Ding Rong entered the room, Huo Tian, who was lying on the bed and flipping through a technology magazine, shuddered. She closed the magazine and threw it casually next to her then, she quickly lay flat on the bed and pulled the blanket over herself
Of course, Ding Rong had noticed her daughter’s series of actions. She knew that before she came to check, Huo Tian would never go to sleep obediently. She glanced at Huo Tian lightly but did not expose her act.
Ding Rong sat down on the side of Huo Tian’s bed. Unlike how she did in the past, she didn’t instruct Huo Tian to sleep early and then give her a goodnight kiss before leaving. Instead, she gently helped Huo Tian tuck her blanket and patted her gently through the blanket. She said softly, “Tiantian, Mom wants to thank you.”
Huo Tian had already closed her eyes to wait for her mother’s goodnight kiss, but when she heard this, she opened her eyes again. Under the influence of her normal schedule, she was already a little tired. Her eyes were a little dazed as she looked at Ding Rong in confusion.
“Why are you thanking me?”
“You enlightened your dad just now and made him no longer feel uneasy.” Ding Rong sighed and explained, “After being separated for more than ten years, both of us don’t know how to get along with each other. Previously, he was busy with this birthday banquet, so that uneasiness was suppressed. Now that the banquet is over, he doesn’t know what to do for you to make it seem like he is needed as a father.”
After hearing Ding Rong’s explanation, Huo Tian came to a realization and said thoughtfully, “Turns out Dad’s heart is so complicated. I just felt that Dad needed to get some emotional feedback from me, but I didn’t expect him to be so depressed. Mom, you’re indeed the most amazing person in the family. No matter if it’s Dad, Uncle, or me, you know very well what we’re thinking.”
Ding Rong basked in Huo Tian’s admiring gaze and couldn’t help but burst out laughing. She tapped Huo Tian’s head with her finger. “Silly child, according to what you’re saying, Mom is about to become a crazy mind-reader.”
The mother and daughter laughed together for a while, then Ding Rong said, “So, what did you talk to Dad about just now that made him let go of the burden in his heart so easily? Can you tell me?”
“Of course. You’re the head of the family and have the right to know everyone’s secrets.” Huo Tian giggled and teased before saying obediently, “Actually, I don’t know which words worked either, but I feel that Dad’s emotions changed after I asked for a goodnight kiss.”
