Fu Family:
Before long, Fu Jingshen returned to the living room with heavy steps.
Gu Nian was savoring the delicious food when she saw the man's face turn deadly pale, looking quite unsightly. She proactively reached out her little hand to grasp the man's larger one and gently asked, "What's wrong?"
Fu Jingshen: "..."
Gu Nian's voice was very soft, and her... eyes were very clear.
Clear like a pool of spring water...
She was so pure and flawless, like a child, petulant and willful, yet never with a hint of malice, always standing up for others and the like.
Strong-willed... pursuing what her heart desired.
In comparison... Fu Jingshen felt how filthy and unworthy he was, unable even to protect his most beloved woman.
Even... the person who had once hurt her was his own birth mother.
In other words, the wrongdoings of Yuan Shan were due to his lack of care.
