There seemed to be a thin layer of fog in Ding Rong’s beautiful eyes, making it impossible for Huo Tian to see her true emotions.

She said in a complicated tone, “If he had let you and me down, then it’s not worth me wasting my feelings on him. If something happens to him… and I don’t know the exact news, I can treat it as if he’s living in another corner of the Earth safe and sound. This is probably self-deception.”

Ding Rong patted Huo Tian’s shoulder gently and sighed. “Tiantian, is Mom very cowardly?”

“No, Mom is the strongest person I’ve ever met.”

Huo Tian hugged Ding Rong’s waist and lay down with her head on her leg. She buried her face in Ding Rong’s waist so that she could hide her expression.

Her voice was muffled. “Mom, you just don’t want to hear bad news about Dad.”

Ding Rong was stunned for a while, then she admitted it, “Tiantian is right. I just can’t face such bad news and want your father to live in my memories. After all, it’s because I’m too cowardly and selfish.”

Huo Tian said softly but firmly, “It’s okay if Mom is a little selfish. I’ll make Mom happy.”

At this moment, Huo Tian had already made up her mind. Since Ding Rong had never let go of that relationship and had never forgotten that man, then as her daughter, the only thing she could do was to let Ding Rong live without any regrets.

The next day, Huo Tian went to the test center early to collect the report. She didn’t open the sealed document envelope but went straight home.

Ding Rong was busy at the moment. A customer brought several old down jackets over, wanting Ding Rong to use the down feathers inside to make a new down jacket.

Those who would go to a tailor shop to upcycle their down jackets were all people who came from ordinary families and were used to a life in which they spend their money very carefully. When choosing styles, they would worry that picking one that was too fashionable would end up going out of trend the next year. However, they’d also worry that basic styles would be too ordinary. The consequence of the conflicted thoughts would be that they would spend almost half an hour just to decide on the new down jacket’s design.

Ding Rong remained patient and gave her suggestions in a soft voice. After sending the customer out with a smile, she rubbed her shoulders and heaved a long sigh of relief.

Ding Rong turned around and saw Huo Tian looking at her. She couldn’t help but smile. “Tiantian, how long have you been here? Why didn’t you come over to help Mom?”

Huo Tian said, “I don’t have as much patience as Mom has. If I were to deal with the guests, I might end up chasing them away.”

Ding Rong still had lingering fears about such a customer. She patted her chest and said, “Fortunately, our Tiantian won’t need to inherit my business in the future. You won’t encounter such a difficult customer.”

Huo Tian thought of the only big client she had ever dealt with, Xi Cheng, and she could not help but mutter softly, “My client isn’t any better.”

Ding Rong did not hear her and asked curiously, “What?”

“It’s nothing.” Huo Tian shook her head, looked Ding Rong in the eye, and said solemnly, “Mom, I have something very important to tell you.”

Ding Rong sensed that what was coming up was going to be a very serious topic and could not help but feel nervous. “Tiantian, what do you want to say to Mom?”

Huo Tian pushed the document envelope with the test report in front of Ding Rong, suppressed the hesitation in her heart, and said directly, “Someone told me that he’s my biological father. I used our biological samples to do a DNA test, but I haven’t seen the results yet. Mom, if you think he’s a swindler, I won’t look at this test result and will cut off all contact with him. If, if you’re still willing to get news of him, let’s take a look at this report together, okay?”

Huo Tian’s words exploded in Ding Rong’s ears like thunder, and a buzzing sound rang out in her head…
