Beibei's impression of Chen Yan had changed. Previously, Liu Yuan had told Beibei that Chen Yan was not a good man, so Beibei's first impression of him was also negative. However, after hearing Chen Yan's voice and feeling his concern, Beibei thought he didn't seem so bad after all.
Beibei looked at Liu Yuan and said, "Mom, you said before that Dad is not a good man."
Liu Yuan replied, "Hmm."
Beibei continued, "Is what you said true?"
Liu Yuan looked at her and asked, "What do you think?"
Beibei responded, "I think Dad is pretty good."
Liu Yuan asked, "Then do you believe what I said is true?"
Beibei replied, "I think what you said is false."
Liu Yuan looked at her and questioned, "Why?"
Beibei answered, "Because I think Dad is pretty good."
Liu Yuan asked again, "What if Dad really is a bad man?"
Beibei replied, "If Dad really is a bad man, then I shouldn't play with him."
Liu Yuan continued, "If Dad really is a bad man, you also shouldn't refuse his gifts."
Beibei looked puzzled and asked, "Why?"
Liu Yuan explained, "Because right now Dad still has money; you can accept his gifts."
Beibei insisted, "If Dad really is a bad man, I shouldn't play with him."
Liu Yuan inquired further, "Don't you like Dad?"
Beibei answered earnestly, "I like him, but I don't want to be with a bad man."
Liu Yuan asked, "So what do you plan to do?"
Beibei replied confidently, "I plan to take advantage of the fact that Dad still has money and spend it well."
Liu Yuan questioned her reasoning, "Why?"
Beibei explained, "Because if Dad has a new family in the future, he won't give me money anymore."
Liu Yuan asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"
Beibei responded matter-of-factly, "I learned it from listening to people talking outside."
Liu Yuan looked at her. "Did you hear the people outside talking?"
Beibei looked back at her. "Yeah."
Liu Yuan continued, "Aren't you afraid your dad will hit you?"
Beibei replied, "I'm not afraid, because I think being honest is the best choice."
Liu Yuan asked, "Why?"
Beibei answered, "Because I don't like lying."
Liu Yuan pressed on, "What if your dad doesn't like you?"
Beibei said, "Then I just won't play with him anymore."
Liu Yuan inquired, "Can you really let go of your dad?"
Beibei assured her, "I can."
Liu Yuan asked again, "Can you promise that?"
Beibei replied confidently, "I can."
Liu Yuan sighed, "Alright then."
Beibei nodded. "Yeah."
Chen Yan messaged Liu Yuan amidst his busy schedule: [Are you off work yet?]
Liu Yuan responded, "Not yet."
Chen Yan informed her, "I'm going back to Beishi tonight. I'll be busy for the next two days and won't have time to come over."
Liu Yuan acknowledged him with a nod. "Okay."
Chen Yan looked at her and asked, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Liu Yuan replied, "What should I say?"
Chen Yan sighed. "Forget it."
Liu Yuan simply said, "Oh."
Frustrated, Chen Yan glanced at his phone and muttered, "That woman! I really want to bite her!"
Xu Tianyuan looked at him and remarked, "Looks like there's hope for you and Miss Liu to get back together."
Chen Yan raised an eyebrow. "Huh?"
Xu Tianyuan continued, "Were you just chatting with Miss Liu?"
Chen Yan looked at him. "Hmm."
Xu Tianyuan stared back. "Do you still have feelings for her?"
Chen Yan nodded. "Hmm."
Xu Tianyuan pressed on. "So when do you plan to get back together with her?"
Chen Yan sighed. "I haven't thought it through yet."
Xu Tianyuan urged him, "You need to make a decision soon."
"Why?" Chen Yan asked.
"Because Miss Liu has many admirers around her," Xu Tianyuan replied.
"I know," Chen Yan acknowledged.
"Then you should hurry up," Xu Tianyuan insisted.
"I know," Chen Yan repeated.
"If you know that, why are you just sitting there? Go after her!" Xu Tianyuan exclaimed.
"I'm still considering it," Chen Yan said.
"What else do you need to think about?" Xu Tianyuan questioned.
"I'm thinking about whether or not to tell her the truth," Chen Yan admitted.
"What truth?" Xu Tianyuan asked.
"That I haven't forgotten her," Chen Yan confessed.
"Just say it directly," Xu Tianyuan suggested.
"I'm afraid she might think I'm being insincere," Chen Yan replied.
"You are being insincere," Xu Tianyuan shot back.
"You are the one being insincere," Chen Yan countered.
"Where am I insincere?" Xu Tianyuan challenged.
"You're insincere in every way," Chen Yan retorted.
