Qiao Hongchang embraced his daughter in his arms and gently patted her shoulder, "Don't think too much, just let things take their course."
Let go of the past and seize the present properly.
This is easy to say, but so hard to do.
Every time his daughter was with Ji Changqing, she would inevitably be reminded of Ji Chengzhou, thinking of her own decade-long romance, and the discomfort and awkwardness in her heart were ultimately hard to let go of.
Forcing themselves to be together would be exhausting and painful.
He couldn't bear to see his precious daughter suffer like this.
But to persuade her to break up, he couldn't bear that either. He could see his daughter liked Ji Changqing; it was too cruel to separate a pair who had mutual affection for each other.
So all he could say was to let things take their course.
Qiao Leling leant into Qiao Hongchang's embrace and cried like a child, her eyes filled with sadness and confusion.
