She was coughing madly from choking. While holding a child in one hand, Lu Ting reached over to pat her back.

The man did not finish speaking, but his brows were knitted into a tight frown.

Lin Yuqi couldn’t casually curse in front of the child. Calming herself down, she took a long breath and said, “Tuantuan, where did you hear that from? None of that is true. They’re just smearing his name on purpose. Mom and dad are in a normal loving relationship. Your Papa isn’t the type to favor sons over daughters, and neither is Mama. The reason why we still haven’t married is because…You know how it is, we’re just really busy with work.”

“Really?” Tuantuan blinked her eyes at her and asked, “But why does Tuantuan feel like Mama doesn’t love Papa? It doesn’t feel like Papa loves Mama either. Zhang Xiaomei’s Mama and Papa will kiss her every day when they pick her up, then kiss each other. But you guys…”

The chubby little girl seemed to sigh, no longer continuing to speak.

Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting looked at each other.

Before the man could say anything, Lin Yueqi grabbed Lu Ting’s ear and pulled him over to her, landing a kiss on his cheek with a smooch. Then, she said to the chubby girl, “Did you see that, Tuantuan? Just because you’ve never seen me and your dad kiss doesn’t mean we’ve never kissed. We’re just shy people, so we only kiss secretly.”

Being forcibly kissed by this woman, Lu Ting’s ears, cheeks, and even his neck were burning red.

After enjoying a quick taste, his face turned serious again. “Tuantuan, there are some things that Papa shouldn’t talk to you about since they’re adult matters, but Papa has to explain them to you right now.”

“Mhm.” Tuantuan pursed her lips and nodded. “Okie, tell me, Papa!”

“If I’m not mistaken, Liu Xue’s father that you’re talking about should be the same Uncle Liu Tong that Papa fired. You’ve seen him at the office before.”

“Really? I think I remember him. But why did he die?” Tuantuan looked at him with her head tilted to the side.

Lu Ting explained, “Not only did Liu Xue’s father secretly sold Papa’s things, but even wanted to snatch Papa’s office, so Papa fired him. I didn’t think things would end so badly for him. He owed a lot of money outside and it overwhelmed him, so he killed himself. Tuantuan, to put it simply, it’s like your classmate stole something from you and tried to make your friends and the teachers dislike you. Do you understand if I put it that way?”

Of course Tuantuan could understand such a straightforward explanation. She nodded and humphed. “So Liu Xiu’s Papa is a thief, then doesn’t that also make her a little thief? So she’s not a good person…”

“Tuantuan, how could you think like that?” Lin Yueqi flicked her forehead. “Her Papa is the one who was stealing. What does this have anything to do with her? She’s just like you, a pure child without any evil intentions. She’s also a victim that such a thing happened to her family, so she’s very pitiful. You mustn’t add oil to the fire, do you understand?”

Tuantuan let out an “ow” in pain after being flicked on the forehead. She nodded. “Okie, I understand, Mama. I won’t look down on Liu Xue. She’s also very pitiful. Her Papa is a thief and involved her as well. It’s a good thing the kids in class don’t know her Papa is a thief, otherwise, they’ll definitely bully her!”

“That’s right. So you can’t tell them, alright? Not everyone is the same as you and won’t bully her for this. We can’t control what other people do, but we definitely can’t do things that will hurt others. But of course, if anyone bullies you, you also have to be smart and retort. Got that?”

Tuantuan nodded. “Got it, Mama.”

After a session of parental guidance, she had everything figured out. She hugged Lin Yueqi’s neck and kissed her forehead, then she went to tug on Lu Ting’s ears and give his cheek a kiss as well.

The family of three sat on the sofa, watching “We Bare Ducks”. Within ten minutes, both Tuantuan and Lin Yueqi fell asleep on Lu Ting’s shoulders.

Lin Yu went downstairs to carry Tuantuan in to sleep. Lu Ting also brought Lin Yueqi upstairs.

Putting her down on the bed, Lu Ting did not leave. Instead, he laid down beside her and carefully observed her sleeping face.

Under the dim light, the girls’ skin was flawless just like porcelain. She had dense and curved eyelashes. Every time she breathed, her mouth would open slightly, and he could faintly see her canines. Her cute sleeping face scratched at Lu Ting’s heart and made it itch. He leaned down and landed a soft kiss on her lips.
