After Long Man and Lin Qian left, Tangning walked into Mo Zichen's room and watched as her son stared out the window in a daze. In a gentle voice, she asked, "Is something bothering you?"
Mo Zichen turned around and shook his head as he looked at his mother, "No, I'm fine."
"I gave birth to you. Do you really think that I wouldn't know what you're thinking?" Tangning said as she approached. "In this world, your mother and father are the only ones that can truly understand you and help you."
From a young age, Mo Zichen had always been the type to only share good news and not the bad. Even when he was bullied, he never mentioned it; no matter what happened, he would shoulder it himself.
But, when she saw her son grow more and more quiet, Tangning's heart was indescribably painful.
"I won't question you about your work because I don't have the right to. But, I am always here to share the burden of any private matters."
