"I'm sorry, I can't be by your side right now, hold you, touch you, I'm sorry." Qi Taiguo's voice came from the other side of the phone, warm and soft.
Cheng Su's face warmed a bit, and she pouted, "What's with you suddenly? Saying things like this makes me uncomfortable."
"You're scared, you're feeling wronged. I should be by your side with you," Qi Taiguo said. "But I'm sorry, I'm not."
Cheng Su's nose tingled, and tears welled up, "Stop saying these things, trying to make me cry on purpose."
Detecting the nasal tone in her voice, Qi Taiguo felt even more guilty and self-reproachful. Being miles apart, he couldn't do anything, not even give her a warm hug.
This made him feel more defeated and more determined to do everything he could to reunite the family as soon as possible.
"Don't be afraid, even if I'm not by your side, don't be afraid, okay?" Qi Taiguo said. "Trust me, and trust Ning Ge, she can't stir any big waves."
