Long Qi choked back sobs as she composed herself. "I'm sorry, Mom!" With that, she dropped to her knees with a loud thud and began kowtowing. "Hey, hey, hey! Girl, are you trying to scare your mother to death?" Qin Shuang rushed over to pull her up, holding her hands with doting affection.
Once Long Qi pieced together the whole story, she realized that this mother of hers had raised her from an unwanted baby, giving her the best food and clothes, and providing her with an education and resources far superior to what most people ever had. Remembering all the moments they shared when she was little, she saw nothing like an adoptive mother-daughter dynamic; Qin Shuang had spoiled her far more than if she were her own flesh and blood.
And now, her adoptive mother simply wanted to find a bit of happiness for herself—she ought to be happy for her. If her mother wanted the moon in the sky, she would figure out a way to get it for her. With that thought, Long Qi felt even more resolved: she would protect her mother for the rest of her life. As for her biological parents, since they had abandoned her in the first place, they didn't deserve her. She didn't even want to know who they were!
