After Li Xue left the study room, silence took its place. Shin Tingming was stabbed by her words, but he also knew that he couldn't blame her for it because what Li Xue said was not wrong. He was to be blamed as well.
"Rui, you were right. I was simply pushing the blame of my incapabilities on Shufen when I, myself, have been no better. After all, being her father, even I was incapable of protecting her." He said self-depreciatingly while looking at the floor disappointedly.
Chen Rui looked at his husband and felt his pain. Patting his shoulders, she said, "Tingming, don't take her words to your heart. Being her parents, we should understand her. After all, she must be feeling a part of her missing. We both know she is not a child who would speak like that to us. She never blamed us in the past. She did it today because she was hurt. So, don't think too much"
