Chapter 231: Siblings Having A Heart To Heart Talk

Ding Rong interrupted Ding Chen gently. She nodded and said, “I know all that you’re talking about. He told me everything that had happened to him over the past few days. I know more than you and Tiantian.”

Ding Chen looked at Ding Rong with a complicated expression. “Then why are you going to separate from him again for my sake? You guys still love each other, right?”

Ding Rong shook her head slowly. “But I’m no longer the young lady who can fall in love with the other party without any restraint. Back then, I was naive and extreme, filled with resentment for my parents. Even my envy towards you sometimes was mixed with a bit of hatred.

“At that time, I desperately needed to find another person who could love me wholeheartedly, so I married a man whose background I didn’t know without any hesitation. But now, I can’t be like before, falling in love and forming a family with someone just because I was hot-headed, not caring about anything else…”

Ding Chen sighed and continued to persuade her, “But, Sister, I hope you can be happy.”

“But if my happiness is built on hurting you, then this happiness won’t be perfect anymore.”

Ding Rong smiled at her brother. “For me, right now, love is no longer the most important thing. I have you and Tiantian. The love you guys have given me is enough.”

Ding Chen only felt that his eyes were a little moist. He used the act of smoking to hide his true emotions.

The next day, Xi Cheng still did not come to the Ding Family’s house. Therefore, in the morning, Huo Tian once again enjoyed her mother’s meticulous care. She was full of bliss as she let her mother help her tidy her school uniform. She did not seem impatient at all as she listened to her mother instruct her about trivial matters such as to have a good meal and not to be too focused when conducting experiments to the extent that she’d forget about the time.

When she was sent to school by her uncle, Huo Tian even sighed happily. “As expected, my current state is the most comfortable. When Dad isn’t around, Mom will place all her attention on me. This feeling is indeed the best!”

After saying that, Huo Tian did not get Ding Chen’s response. She looked over in confusion and realized that Ding Chen was frowning slightly. There was a patch of bluish-black under his eyes. It was obvious that he had insomnia for the entire night.

Huo Tian felt that her uncle was probably not in the mood to criticize her father with her, so she stopped talking unhappily.

However, when they were waiting for the traffic light to turn green, Ding Chen suddenly said, “Tiantian, do you think your mother is happy when with us or when she is with your father?”

“It’s obvious that she’s happier when she’s with Dad. The atmosphere between them… How should I put it? Even someone like me, who doesn’t have any feelings about love, would feel embarrassed when I see them interacting with each other.”

Huo Tian complained loudly, “But Mom is also very happy when she is with us. There should be no way to compare these two, right?”

The green light lit up, and Ding Chen started the car. He muttered in a low voice, “But if we let her choose one side and give up on the other side, she’ll be sad too, right?”

Huo Tian was a little puzzled and asked curiously, “Uncle, what do you mean by that?”

Ding Chen said perfunctorily, “It’s nothing. You’re just a brat. Don’t interfere in adults’ matters.”

Huo Tian let out a cold snort.

After sending Huo Tian and Bi Ying to school, Ding Chen randomly found a parking lot and drove in. He sat in the car and smoked a cigarette. Then, he picked up his phone and called Xi Cheng.

He said very simply, “Are you free now? Let’s talk.”

Of course Xi Cheng was free. He was very dejected and did not have the energy to do anything..
