After asking the question, Lin Xi's heart leaped into her throat. I'm so afraid Dad will break his promise again. He's done it plenty of times before, hasn't he? Even though I'm used to it, I still hope he'll keep his word this time.
"Mhm."
Hearing this response, Lin Xi was stunned for a moment before she was overcome with joy. "Thank you, Dad. Dad, I love you!"
This time, it was Lin Zhenhai's turn to be stunned. How long had it been since he had heard his daughter say those words? He clearly remembered when she was little, Lin Xi loved to tell him in her sweet, childish voice, "Dad, I love you. Dad, when I grow up, I'll definitely take good care of you…" As Lin Xi grew older and more rebellious, he thought he would never hear that sentence again. He couldn't believe he was hearing it now.
"Remember to come home," he said.
Lin Xi's eyes curved into crescents. "I will, Dad. I'll come home often."
