Ling Hua stopped crying instantly.
Indeed, a crying child gets the candy.
In the past, when she was younger, whenever she wanted something or Ling Yunyang upset her, she would cry in front of him. Every time Ling Yunyang fell for it, cajoling her by saying, "Little Miss, stop crying, what do you want? I'll give you anything, all right?"
Although he knew that she was manipulating him through her tears, Ling Yunyang, aware though he was, had no choice but to comfort her nonetheless. Over time, she became more emboldened, and whenever she needed something, turning to Ling Yunyang was always the right choice.
Of course, she wasn't relentlessly squeezing him dry; when it was time to treat him well, she was more than generous.
Now Yan Qing had fallen for it too; it's no wonder they were all spoilt individuals — they all had such soft hearts.
