Ai calmed down after hearing Jinhai's pacifying words. She rubbed the tip of her nose in embarrassment. "I am sorry for that."
Jinhai smiled. "A daughter doesn't have to apologize to her father for feeling wistful. I am glad you felt open in that sense. I like when my children depend on me."
Her cheeks filled with a tinge of blush. "Dad, you are really sweet."
That made him cock his brow in amusement. "I am sure you wouldn't have said that to me in my younger days."
"Were you not sweet back then?"
"I am not sure if I can label the adjective sweet to my name at all."
She chuckled.
"Are you feeling better now?"
Ai nodded.
"Good. Now tell me. Did you need me for something?"
Her expression turned somber as she came to the serious part. "The twins told me what had happened when Jun was kidnapped."
"Hm. They told me that they made you aware of it."
