"When is the gynecological appointment?" Xingyu asked when he had calmed down from his disappointment.

"Tomorrow. I wanted to talk to mother about it before going." She explained.

"Nothing regarding you is trivial. As long as it is anything, no matter how petty you think it is, tell me about it. Do you understand?" His tone was stern and solemn, not allowing for any room for her to argue or negotiate. She could only nod.

"I'm sorry honey." She apologized for keeping things from him.

His gloom faded away as he patted her back. "It's okay. Do you want me to call her over, or will you speak to her in the living room?"
