Chapter 573: Dad, Just Give In (1)

His heart ached with a sudden pang.

The girl's words left Jingli so conflicted—what about the truth, if lies sounded like that? Could he even bear to hear it? Truth and falsehood were antonyms after all. Put another way, did the truth not mean that Ai Qing held a higher place in her heart than he did?

As her biological father, he clenched his teeth, one could only imagine his feelings at that moment, the gloom that seeped from his face could have obscured the sun.

However, Little Sanqi looked at his face, sighed softly like an adult, and continued, "Daddy, the truth is, you and Uncle Ai are the same in my heart."

"The same?" he asked his daughter, and Jingli felt a little better inside; the heart that had been heavily oppressed by her previous words slowly began to recuperate.

Honestly, had he not been struck by Sanqi's earlier comment, he might have found even this statement quite unpleasant. But compared to what she said before, these words were simply heavenly.
