"Mom, I'm not a chatterbox, nor am I pretending. I... I just feel stifled, and today I said a few more words in front of you." Min Rui's cheeks flushed slightly. He felt uncomfortable under Kang Li's teasing gaze. Seeing him turn his head to avoid her eyes, Kang Li couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, Mom is just teasing you!"
Sighing quietly, Kang Li gently patted the teenager's shoulder and softly reassured him: "Mom knows what you're talking about. Now, you just need to not think about it. Even if things turn out as you thought, there's nothing to be afraid of, understand?"
Min Rui's lips moved, but he remained silent for a while.
"Silly child, do you not trust your dad or me?"
Kang Li crossed her arms and quietly looked at the boy, raising an eyebrow.
"No, it's not that I don't trust you and Dad, but... but if things really are as I thought, I'm afraid I won't have the face to stay in this family."
As he spoke, Min Rui's eyes began to redden again.
