Ever since Qin Jiran moved in with them, Tang Moyu had tried her best to be civil with him. She never asked him questions that might be too personal for him, such as why he ended up crippled nor why he was living alone when she first met him.
In return, the man had never overstepped his boundaries and had treated her children kindly. In fact, she had felt a pang of guilt, letting her twins bother him when she knew he also had his own life to live. She thought that perhaps if he had never met them, he would have more time to focus on writing his books.
She had always paid attention to how he engaged and interacted with Xiao Bao and Little Star and she didn't think his concern was pretentious. She also noticed that her little buns were easier to deal with these days with his help.
