Ma Nanji opened his mouth as if to retort Musheng, but after hearing the next thing she said, he was at a loss for words.
"I know you've been in contact with him."
That statement hit Ma Nanji right where it hurt. He looked at Musheng, slightly dazed, but upon meeting her calm and seemingly all-knowing gaze, Ma Nanji glanced toward the kitchen. Seeing Ma Changying, who appeared to be in a good mood, humming a tune and not paying attention to them, he begged in a somewhat panicked tone, "Sister, do not let it out, don't let mom hear..."
"You think she doesn't know?"
Musheng scoffed, "You really live in a naive world."
At those words, Ma Nanji's face turned pale with a mix of shame and pain.
Of course, he knew how much his father's actions had hurt his mother, which is why he had never openly met with his father over the years.
