Watching his daughter's serious, nervous yet hopeful little expression, Lingtuo adored her to no end, holding her warmly in his arms and occasionally dropping a kiss on her forehead.
Duoduo had already poured all her attention into the phone and didn't notice any of Lingtuo's doting gestures.
Finally, the call was picked up, and on the other end came Ruan Peifan's warm, deep voice, "Hello?"
Duoduo immediately called out sweetly, "Daddy."
Hearing Duoduo's voice, Ruan Peifan's tone was instantly tinged with a smile. "Duoduo, how is it? Are you having fun at Uncle Gong's place?"
"Mm, I'm happy!" Duoduo nodded hard. "But Daddy, Uncle Gong took me and Mommy away. Aren't you mad?"
Because in the past five years, the way Ruan Peifan and Jia Xuan got along wasn't like a married couple, in Duoduo's eyes they were fundamentally different from other kids' parents, so her understanding of marriage was skewed.
