Chapter 2638 - 2639: You Can Fool Anyone, But You Can’t Fool Yourself

Li Hui felt deeply uneasy, thinking that if the two children truly cared for each other, but...

In reality, this whole group is open-minded and liberal. They joke freely between older and younger generations, yet this issue presents a difficulty.

The feeling was as if both the palm and the back of the hand were made of flesh.

If the two really have feelings but can’t be together, we’d be heartbroken for them. Yet if they’re together, well...

Ultimately, the only thing we can do now is to forcibly nip their budding romance in the cradle and kill it early.

That would be the best for everyone.

We can’t be as reckless as before. Otherwise, if emotions truly develop, it will indeed be troublesome.

In the afternoon, Nangong Xiao returned home from school.

Returning home, the atmosphere felt off, as Nangong Tiancheng and Li Hui were giving her complex looks, making her feel inexplicably guilty.

Finally, during dinner, Nangong Xiao couldn’t help but ask, "Mom and Dad, why are you staring at me like that? Is there something going on?"

Hearing Nangong Xiao’s question, Li Hui and Nangong Tiancheng exchanged a glance.

Li Hui decided to cut to the chase and directly asked, "Nangong Xiao, what’s going on between you and Di Yimo?"

Nangong Xiao frowned, looked away, casually fiddling with the dish in front of her, and answered nonchalantly, "What do you mean, what’s going on? Mom, what kind of nonsense questions are you asking?"

"The other day at the barbecue, why were you chasing each other around?" Li Hui was direct, questioning sharply.

"I." Nangong Xiao raised her eyebrows, looked at Li Hui, and answered just as directly, "I was passing by, Di Yimo tripped me, so I chased after him to hit him."

"Then why did you chase each other indoors?" Li Hui’s face grew even serious.

Nangong Xiao felt more guilty, hastily took a bite of rice, and said, "He ran inside, so I followed him in."

"Why did you take so long to come out?" Li Hui asked again, feeling slightly embarrassed about the long wait back then; she thought about looking for them but felt it improper.

Before Nangong Xiao could respond, Li Hui said again, "The reason I didn’t come in to find you, Nangong Xiao, is because I gave you enough face. A few years ago, I told you that you and Di Yimo aren’t suitable, it’s impossible, it’s just childhood antics, don’t take it seriously, you really haven’t listened, have you?"

"I’ve listened!" Nangong Xiao quickly argued, "There’s really nothing between us. We stayed in the room for so long because he suddenly thought of some problems he couldn’t solve and wanted to ask me for help."

It’s undeniable that Nangong Xiao and Di Yimo thought alike, even finding the same excuse!

But there was no other choice, first, Nangong Xiao is top of the class, second, Di Yimo is younger, so probably that excuse was the most reliable, and both coincidentally thought of it.

"Some things, you can deceive anyone, but you can’t deceive yourself." Li Hui said looking at Nangong Xiao, avoiding judging whether her excuse was genuine and speaking directly.
