Mo Yan watched her father with a mischievous smile, utterly unaware of his true thoughts, and also ignorant of the fact that he had previously met Cui Qingrou. Based purely on her father's unusual behavior just then, she felt that he had a different feeling toward Cui Qingrou.
That feeling might not necessarily be one of liking, after all, love at first sight is too rare, and they were both past the age of youthful infatuation. At most, it could be a favorable impression! However, as long as there is a good beginning and someone willing to care for and cherish the relationship, love would eventually take root and sprout one day.
Her father had led a life filled with hardship. In his youth, he lost parental support and was subject to all kinds of scheming by Old Man Mo and Mo Hong's family. When he had finally married and had children as an adult, Mrs. Du ran away with another man, leaving him to live in the ridicule and scorn of others for many years.
