"Um, Xiao Li..."
Tan Ningyan looked at Ye Li cautiously and asked, "Did you hear Xiao Bao calling Uncle Fu 'Dad'?"
Ye Li shook her head.
Tan Ningyan asked again, "Then, how did you know about Xiao Bao's mother?"
"I don't know."
Ye Li looked innocent, "That's why I asked you."
Tan Ningyan: ...
She intended to tell her the truth to prevent the young girl from feeling uneasy by guessing, which could affect her relationship with Uncle Fu.
As the words reached her lips, Tan Ningyan suddenly held back, "Then, what did Uncle Fu say?"
"I haven't asked him yet."
Ye Li shook her head in dismay, "I don't know how to start. I'm afraid it would bring back some unpleasant memories for him and affect his mood. I'm also afraid..."
"Are you afraid he might dwell on the past, hearing only the cries of the old and not the laughter of the new?"
