Chapter 213 - 205: Heartache
Qingran loved fluffy little animals when she was young, but since her mother was allergic to animal fur, they couldn’t keep any pets at home.
At that time, Mommy Li felt she owed her daughter and would always bring back a lot of plush toys, but Qingran did not like lifeless toys. As she grew older, she would pretend to like them to comfort her mother’s regrets.
Until later, when Mommy Li passed away in an accident, there were no longer fluffy pets at home anymore, and this topic was even taboo in front of Mr. Li.
Though Mr. Li loved his wife dearly, he was also devoted to pampering his daughter; otherwise, he wouldn’t have placed a bunch of stray cats by the bushes near the old tree.
But bringing furry little animals into the house was a different matter in Mr. Li’s eyes.
No one at home wanted to erase the fact that Mrs. Li was no longer there.
Years ago, Xie Ying’an was still young and clueless about emotions and love, naturally unaware of the taboo in Qingran’s home.
That’s why today, he brought over the lop-eared rabbit that Qingran liked.
In just a few seconds, Qingran’s expression changed from delight to alarm. She hurriedly stood up, and the wooden chair made a piercing noise as it scraped against the marble, but she couldn’t care less at that moment.
She ran to Xie Ying’an and, unaware of his confusion, quickly pulled him outside, hoping Mr. Li hadn’t seen the little rabbit in Xie Ying’an’s arms.
As they left, she didn’t forget to say to Mr. Li: "Dad, I, I have something to do, I’ll be out for a while, don’t wait for me for breakfast."
