Yao Qing watched as Yao Huai, frail and alone, left the prison with nothing.
She had been too happy earlier to notice this detail, but now that she had, it felt as though a chunk of her heart had been hollowed out, leaving her cold and empty.
Tears fell from her eyes as if they had a life of their own, rolling down uncontrollably. She didn't want to cry, but she couldn't help it.
Yao Huai sighed, reaching out to wipe the tears from Yao Qing's face.
"Daddy is going to turn himself in, you'll support Daddy, and you'll miss me, right?"
As the words "turn himself in" were spoken, a sob choked from Yao Qing.
She didn't know what Yao Huai had done in the past to climb the ranks; she only knew he was the best father in the world, no one could be better than him.
She had just seen him, and had already planned their future together during the trip.
"Daddy is going to do something very right… Qingqing."
Sitting on the sofa, Yao Qing struggled to cope with the emotional roller coaster.
