Wu Tong's face was filled with shame. She really didn't expect Qiao Xiang to say so much.

She just felt that Xiao Xingchen ate so voraciously that she didn't look like a lady at all.

This is how her parents educated her since she was a child.

Of course, she didn't mean that parents' teachings were wrong.

But different people, different things, and different times have different ways of dealing with them.

Little Xingchen had just returned to his mother, having just come back from a place where he couldn't even get enough food and was beaten.

At this moment, Wu Tong, as a mother, hadn't even considered Xiao Xingchen's mental state? Was she healthy? Was she just obsessed with maintaining a ladylike image?

How can you look like a lady if you are hungry?

"I won't do that again."

Wu Tong muttered something.

Looking at Wu Tong like this, Qiao Xiang felt really angry and disappointed in him.

"Wu Tong, this is a critical period for you and Xiao Xingchen to develop a relationship. The child needs a mother, and you must also act like a mother. Don't wait until the child is heartbroken and alienated from you. No matter how much you do to make amends, it will be useless."

Qiao Xiang knew that Wu Tong was not the kind of woman with delicate feelings.

If Wu Tong was the kind of woman with delicate emotions, she would not have slept so soundly last night.

Wu Tong even slept in a separate bed with Xiao Xingchen. If it were her, she would definitely hold Xiao Xingchen in her arms.

If Wu Tong had paid even a little attention to Xiao Xingchen, she would have known that what happened during the years when Xiao Xingchen was missing had become an indelible shadow in Xiao Xingchen's heart.

"I see."

Seeing Wu Tong like this, Qiao Xiang was even more furious.

Wu Tong seems to have admitted her mistake smoothly, but can she really be good to Xiao Xingchen?

God is so unfair. Some people want to have children but cannot become mothers.

Some people have children but don’t know how to be a good mother.

Being a mother is also a learning process.

Not everyone will become a mother from the beginning.

"Take your time."

Qiao Xiang and Wu Tong returned to the ward.

Little Xingchen has happily finished his breakfast.

As soon as Xiao Xingchen saw Wu Tong, his expression suddenly changed for some unknown reason, and there was obvious fear in his eyes.

Wu Tong hadn't noticed it before, but it wasn't until he was scolded by Qiao Xiang that Wu Tong clearly saw the fear in Xiao Xingchen's eyes.

Wu Tong only felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.

Her daughter was actually afraid of her?

Is she that scary?

"Xiao Xingchen, are the buns delicious?"

Wu Tong tried to slow down his voice and become gentle and considerate.

However, the words that were spoken caused a thin mist to well up in Xiao Xingchen's eyes.

Wu Tong understood.

Little Xingchen is scared.

I was so scared that I wanted to cry.

She suddenly remembered that she had once asked Xiao Xingchen if the wound hurt.

Xiao Xingchen shook his head and said, it doesn’t hurt.

How can it not hurt?

It’s because Xiao Xingchen knows that it’s useless to say it hurts in front of her.

Children who can cry and act coquettishly are not born that way.

Children who cry and act like a spoiled child know that if they cry, someone will comfort them, and if they act like a spoiled child, someone will pamper them.

"If you like it, you can eat buns every day from now on."

Qiao Xiang gave Xia Zhi a wink.

Xia Zhi and Qiao Xiang then left the ward. They stood outside the door and looked at Wu Tong and her daughter in the room through the glass on the door. There was an obvious sense of unfamiliarity and helplessness between them.

As soon as Ye Linlang walked out of the stairs, she saw Xia Zhi and Qiao Xiang.

"Aunt, what are you doing..."

Before Linlang could finish her words, Qiao Xiang lowered her voice and said, "Linlang, Xiao Xingchen sneaked out of the room alone last night. She wanted to find you and wanted you to be her mother."
