"I'm very grateful they accepted and embraced me," Lu Wen said with a smile. "When choosing a partner, a lot of people want someone from a complete and perfect family, but I don't have that. My career is doing fine, but when it comes to family, I have no confidence at all."
"That's not your fault," Jin Xi said, pushing a glass of milk toward her. "Mom's heart really aches for you; you had it so tough at such a young age."
"I know she feels for me," Lu Wen said, not trying to be overly sentimental. "That's why I feel so lucky."
"I'm the lucky one," Jin Xi said, ruffling her hair again. "It feels like meeting you used up all the luck I've saved up in my entire life."
He smiled. "Breakfast will be ready in a moment. Why don't you play with Little Leopard for a while? We won't be back for a whole week."
Lu Wen's eyes curved into crescents as she looked at Jin Xi. "Okay, I'll spend some time with him. Little Leopard, we're going to miss you..."
