Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Dad in His Youth
Translator: 549690339
If she was the princess before going to the Wei Family, then it could be better said that she was truly a princess when she had a father.
For her, there are too many unreliable people and things in this world. Even her biological mother planned her entire life, leaving her to wonder whom she could rely on or trust. Therefore, after her divorce, she lived alone. At that point, she realized that the one who loved her most in the world was not her mother, but her father, whom she had always despised for being ugly, poor, stupid, and incompetent.
A dad is a real dad, but a mother might belong to someone else.
However, Tang Zhinian never let his daughter wear patched clothes. He bought her clothes from the town, saving food from his own mouth to provide for his daughter. No matter how hard life got, even if he had to go hungry, he would never allow his daughter to suffer. Regardless of others favoring sons over daughters, his love for his little Yuxin was unquestionable. Even her name was given by the village’s primary school principal.
When Tang Zhinian reached out to carry his daughter, Tang Yuxin gently shook off his big hand. “Dad, Xinxin can walk by herself.” No matter what, she was an adult. Inside, she was a thirty-something year old soul with the life experience of three decades. She couldn’t possibly let her father carry her, although she was currently very young, very young indeed.
“Alright,” Tang Zhinian chuckled, ruffling his daughter’s head, “Has my Xinxin grown taller?”
Tang Yuxin started to follow her dad, taking small short steps behind Tang Zhinian. Her legs were too short, her steps too small, but Tang Zhinian always matched her pace, fearing she might fall.
When they got outside, Tang Yuxin squinted her eyes against sunlight, shielding them with her small hand. The warm light fell like raindrops on her face and her onion-like petite fingertips.
