Chương 425: Civil Talk

Pan An and Ru Shi sat in a stunned silence, grappling with the revelation that their father had shielded them from the harsh realities of their family's history.

They had never known the extent of his struggles or the depth of his determination to protect them from the pain he had endured.

As they absorbed their mother's words, a somber understanding settled within them, mingling with a profound sense of gratitude for the sacrifices their parents had made.

"We had no idea," Ru Shi whispered, her voice tinged with a mixture of shock and admiration. "We never knew that father had to endure so much, that he shielded us from the hardships he faced in his own life. It's almost like he wanted us to have a fresh start, a new beginning without the burden of the past."
