"You’ve lost quite a bit of weight. Sit down and eat." This was the conclusion Zhao Gao reached after looking Zhao Yan up and down. Although Zhao Yan was now a father, Zhao Gao still habitually showed him all sorts of subtle concern. Perhaps because the days of the past had been so bitter, and Zhao Yan had nearly failed to pull through due to poor health, Zhao Gao always felt a sense of indebtedness toward him deep down.

I spend every day taking care of you two—even if I haven't earned any merit, I've certainly put in the hard work." Gu Muling was teasing them on purpose.
"Mother, how could we neglect you? Look, aren't I sitting right beside you? Within arm's reach," Xiaotangyuan said, leaning over to hug Gu Muling’s arm and acting spoiled. She was the best at reading the room and could often make people beam with joy in just a few words.
