Ten-year-old Liu Xiazhi listened to her mother's words, and she couldn't quite understand them.

The small leather shoes that Liu Changqing bought for her are obviously very comfortable to wear and fit very well, why does her mother say that the small leather shoes are inferior?

Liu Xiazhi, who couldn't figure out the reason, was a little red with a worried face.

Struggling to get out of Li Wanran's hand, he stretched out his hand and reached out to the location of the little leather shoe.

Muttered in his mouth.

"That's ...... I just bought ......"

"Throw it away."

Li Wanran's tone was flat, as if she was narrating an inconsequential matter.

In her mind, there are as many things as shoes as there are.

How long has it been?

The daughter who was handed over to Liu Changqing to raise became what she is now, and she even refuted her meaning for a pair of shoes.

Thinking of this, a wave of anger suddenly rose in Li Wanran's heart.

Looking at the daughter who kept trying to pick up the shoes, but was firmly held by herself.

Grabbed her daughter's arm and pulled it back.

Liu Xiazhi was dragged back, her head held high, and her face was full of puzzlement.

There was some anxiety in his tone.

"Good shoes, why not!"

"How did you become like this?"

After Li Wanran said this, she looked at her daughter's eyes showing a hint of strangeness.

The daughter in my memory shouldn't refute herself like this.

It's always been a child who listens to himself......

"Mom has changed!"

Liu Xiazhi said loudly.

shook the arm that was grabbed by Li Wanran vigorously, but after trying a few times, she couldn't break free with her small body.

Then he held his head high and looked at his mother with a cold face.

"That's the shoes my dad bought for me!"

“……”

This sentence made Li Wanran completely stunned.

She looked at her daughter who was panting, and a mist had begun to appear in those big eyes.

I felt a little distressed for a while.

Uncontrollable release of the hand.

Feeling that Li Wanran was not holding on to herself, Liu Xiazhi would not turn her head and run towards the position of the small leather shoes.

Squatted down, grabbed the shoes with both hands and put them back in the shoebox.

Her vision began to blur a little.

Liu Xiazhi raised his arm, wiped it with his arm, and then sniffed.

Since her father and mother separated, Liu Xiazhi's favorite pair of shoes is her favorite.

This was bought by Liu Changqing for her.

It was in the morning when she found the small leather shoes placed at the head of the bed, and after the surprise, she ran to Liu Changqing in front of her and asked Liu Changqing to put on her shoes himself.

It was a gift from her father.

Put the shoes into the shoebox, and Liu Xiazhi covered the box.

He raised his arm again and wiped his eyes, and took a few breaths with his mouth open.

My throat and eyes are a little blocked.

Liu Xiazhi walked in front of Li Wanran with the shoe box.

With his head down, he didn't look at his mother's face.

After inhaling for a while, I gradually stabilized my emotions.

Liu Xiazhi opened her mouth and said in a somewhat trembling voice.

"After eating...... I'm going home......"

“……”

Li Wanran looked at her daughter.

A hint of struggle flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly stretched out his hand to hold his daughter.

Said to the receiving staff on the side.

"Please get a bag and pack up the shoes and the clothes you just changed."

"Okay."

The sales lady, who witnessed the whole process on the side, answered, then took the shoe box handed over by Liu Xiazhi, and left quickly.

During the waiting time, the mother and daughter did not communicate with each other.

Li Wanran raised her head and looked ahead.

Liu Xiazhi, who was beside him, lowered his head and ears were a little red, and there was a slight sound of sniffing from time to time.

Li Wanran heard this movement, she looked at her daughter, her mouth opened and wanted to say some comforting words, but after thinking about it, she was just a child.

Wait a minute...... You'll be fine, right......

After a while, Li Wanran took the bag handed over by the clerk.

She originally planned to carry it herself, but Liu Xiazhi on the side hurriedly snatched it over and chose to carry it herself.

Seeing her daughter's actions, Li Wanran was only a little stunned, and soon returned to the expressionless look she had at the beginning.

walked up with steps, no longer holding Liu Xiazhi's hand, and followed behind him, Liu Xiazhi just lowered his head and didn't say anything.

It's completely different from the happy look when I first came in.

After coming out, got in the car.

Then the car started and the trip was well planned from the start.

Li Wanran sat in his seat.

Her eyes looked at her daughter holding the bag on the side, Liu Xiazhi was quiet at the moment and not as active as she was at the beginning.

Look away and look ahead.

Tilt your head back slightly, leaning against the mat.

Close your eyes.

After a lot of internal struggles, I finally made a decision.

It didn't take long to reach our destination.

Liu Xiazhi followed behind Li Wanran with some caution, and the two took the elevator upstairs.

Then he was guided by the front service staff to a private room.

The mother and daughter stopped.

The service staff who led the way from the front pushed the door open, and then Li Wanran took the lead and walked in.

Liu Xiazhi was carrying a bag in her hand and stood at the door with some hesitation.

Li Wanran seemed to notice this and glanced back at her.

"Keep up."

"Hmmm......"

Responding softly, Liu Xiazhi finally walked in behind him.

When both of them entered the room, the outside attendant closed the open door.

Liu Xiazhi has not been to this kind of place for a long time.

For a while, it was a little restrained.

When she raised her head and looked around, she found that in the luxurious room, in addition to herself and her mother, there was a man sitting on the sofa.

Unknown man.

I was a little stunned for a while.

Li Wanran didn't notice her daughter's actions, she just walked straight over and sat next to Li Chongming.

The two posted something similar.

Sitting on the sofa, Li Wanran's eyes looked at her daughter who was standing in place and looked a little sluggish.

Raised his hand and beckoned.

"Xia Zhi, come here."

"Mom's ......"

Liu Xiazhi's eyes were full of puzzlement.

She looked at the slight smile on her mother's face, and Li Chongming, who was also smiling on the side.

This is the first time Liu Xiazhi has seen each other.

In her impression, there was never a memory of this man.

Mother's non-resignation, in Liu Xiazhi's opinion at the time, may be his father's fault.

Because since she was a child, the image left by her mother in her mind is a longed-for appearance, gentle and noble.

That was what Liu Xiazhi had longed for the most......

Head swaying gently.

Liu Xiazhi's expression suddenly changed to a little frightened.

She remembered in her mind what her father had said to her last grandmother when she came to her house.

"No......"

Li Wanran looked at her daughter, and then looked at Li Chongming beside her.

Li Chongming also looked at the other party, stretched out his hand to hold Li Wanran's hand, and held it gently.

This seemed to be like a tranquilizer, which made Li Wanran make up her mind.

Looking at Liu Xiazhi again, Li Wanran spoke.

"Xia Zhi, this ...... It's your new dad from now on. ”

"No...... No......"

Liu Xiazhi carried the bag and subconsciously took a step back.

The hand carrying the bag clutched tightly.

Shouted at the two of them.

"He's not my dad!"

After shouting this, Liu Xiazhi turned his head and ran in the direction he had just entered.

Seeing this sudden scene in front of her, Li Wanran broke free of the hand held by Li Chongming and stood up from the sofa.

ran forward, trying to stop Liu Xiazhi.

Mouths shouted.

"Xia Zhi!"

Liu Xiazhi ran to the door, held the doorknob with both hands, pulled it open vigorously, and then ran out.

But bumped into something, didn't stand firm, sat on the ground.

Li Wanran hurriedly ran to the side and stretched out her hand to help her daughter up.

But he was scolded by the person at the door.

"Let her get up on her own."

Hearing this, Li Wanran wanted to help her daughter's hand stiff in mid-air, and finally took it back.

Ye Rong stood at the door and looked condescendingly at Liu Xiazhi who was sitting on the ground.

His face was as cold as ice.

"Get up."

Sitting on the ground, Liu Xiazhi's eyes widened.

looked at Ye Rong standing in front of him in horror.
