Zhu Qinghao noticed his movement and turned around accordingly, putting down her bowl and chopsticks.
"Okay, okay, this isn't your responsibility. Don't think about it too much. I can hear you chatting and laughing with your girlfriends while cooking, which makes me happy."
If you don't believe me, ask your mom, aunt, and grandparents. We all want you to be happy and have a good life.
As for family matters, as long as we adults are around, it's never your responsibility as a child, you understand, right?
Zhu Qinghao's eyes were slightly red, and she nodded gently.
Zhu Yanzhi had explained these principles to her many times since she was a child, but she could never stay out of trouble when something happened to her family.
That's all fine, but today she even turned around and accused her family of trying to keep it from her.
However, Zhu Yanzhi seemed to have seen through her thoughts and immediately offered an explanation on the matter.
"We did want to keep this from you from the beginning, because you're just a kid, and there's nothing we could do about it except worry."
As for going to your place, it was purely because I suddenly had a thought when I got there, and before I even realized it, I was outside your backyard.
On behalf of the family, Dad apologizes for keeping this from you. From now on, we promise to treat you as an equal and will not try to hide anything from you without your consent again, okay?
Perhaps no one knows a daughter better than her father. Zhu Yanzhi's words clearly hit the nail on the head regarding Zhu Qinghao's inner thoughts. After he finished speaking, she did feel much better, and a smile returned to her face.
"Okay, then you all have to remember that I'm not a child anymore, so don't keep everything from me and don't keep things from me."
I understand your emotions today, and I know there are better solutions. More people mean more strength, right?
"Okay, okay, we know. Our little darling has really grown up and become more and more sensible. Having such a precious child is truly a blessing for our whole family!"
"That's right, Haohao is our family's lucky star..."
"Oh dear, is that something you should say? Lower your voice..."
Seeing that her husband was talking more and more outrageous, Zhu Qingyun quickly threw down her rice bowl and covered his mouth.
Zhao Cheng was also surprised by her move and immediately shut his mouth, afraid that her hand would go into his mouth.
He nodded helplessly after she removed her hand.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. We'll just talk about it at home, no one else will know, Ah-Jun, don't worry."
The tone was so doting that the whole family broke into big smiles.
Zhu Qingyun felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and reached out to punch him lightly.
"You're really getting worse as you get older. In the past, no one would have dared to hear a single inappropriate word from you, Section Chief Zhao. What's wrong with you now? Are you just giving up?"
She had a smile on her face, intending to tease Zhao Cheng, but she watched as the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by an unyielding melancholy.
"But even I, in that state, failed to protect you all..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell into a deathly silence, but it only lasted for a few seconds before everyone rushed to talk about other things, trying to change the subject.
Zhao Cheng himself understood that people shouldn't dwell on the past, so he followed the conversation and started talking about other happy things.
After finishing her meal, Zhu Qinghao made sure that everything was alright with Wen Chuyi, and then gave her a few more instructions before slowly returning home.
I slept well all night.
