Chapter 969 - 961: Truly Fortunate
Tang Rong quietly lowered her head to eat, deciding not to engage in conversation anymore. Once she started speaking, she definitely wouldn’t be able to stop, and eventually, it could lead to a quarrel.
"Should we have some red wine? It’s rare for our daughter to come back, so let’s celebrate properly," Tang Rong’s father suggested.
"Then let’s have some. I’ll go get it," Tang Rong’s mother replied.
Tang Rong gratefully glanced at her father. The topic was thus promptly ended, and it was a relief.
Breaking up with Xiao Yifei, to be honest, wasn’t as painful as she imagined. She thought she’d be heartbroken to the point of not being able to eat, but actually, aside from feeling sad on the first night, by the second day, she was fine.
Perhaps all her affection had been exhausted over the long period, and in those last days with Xiao Yifei, she hadn’t received the love she wanted. So, frankly, this breakup wasn’t bitter at all; in a way, it was a release, although she still had some feelings for Xiao Yifei.
After dinner, Tang Rong wanted to go with her parents to watch fireworks at the square, but her mother flatly refused, saying it was too cold outside to go.
It was Tang Rong’s father who understood his daughter better, quickly saying, "I’ll go with you."
Tang Rong smiled and agreed. She hardly spent time alone with her father, and even when they were together, she didn’t know what to say.
After dinner, the two of them went out, only to find that the streets were full of people, all heading toward the central square. As they walked side by side, Tang Rong hesitated for a moment but still extended her hand to hook her father’s arm.
