"I agree that your grandmother is a wonderful woman," Qiao Shiwen never lied to his daughter, "When your grandfather returned, I was indeed a little bit sad. But I am past the age of requiring love. It was just a fleeting moment of sadness."
"Dad, this proves that you liked mom and that..." Qiaoqiao was getting excited, seeing hope, but Qiao Shiwen interrupted her firmly, "Listen to me until the end, Xiao'an."
"..." In Qiao Shiwen's deeply lined face, Qiaoqiao saw too much helplessness and loneliness, so she quieted down.
"I was in a very bad state during that period. I'm not referring to the time your grandfather returned, but rather the time I realized I had feelings for your grandmother."

"I felt that I had wronged your mother."
"Mum wouldn't want you to be alone for the rest of your life, she would definitely..."
"Xiao'an, let me finish."
