He did his utmost to take care of Bai Xinxin.
She wanted to become a star, so he supported her.
Whatever she wanted, he gave her.
It was a debt, and for many years, he felt it was his unshirkable responsibility.
Then Xiao Yining brought An Ziqi back.
Her gentleness, her kindness, her warmth, each of her dazzling smiles attracted him and made him unable to resist drawing closer.
Until he gradually sunk into her tenderness and irrevocably fell in love with her.
He loved An Ziqi, truly loved her.
He had never been so afraid of losing someone.
Because he loved her so much, he hesitated, was plagued by gains and losses, and didn't dare to tell her the truth about the past.
He didn't regret having An Ziqi as his surrogate mother. Otherwise, he might never have had the chance to know her, to be with her.
His only regret was not treating her well at that time.
If he had known that he would fall in love with her, he would have treasured her from the moment he first saw her.
