Xi Ruzhu gritted her teeth and continued to plead:
"Dad, my college entrance exam is in two days. You've been practicing the violin with me for years, and only through your dedication could I prepare for the Imperial University Music College. As long as I take the exam, I can get accepted and fulfill your wish. Dad, I don't live for myself; I'm living to not let your efforts go in vain. I'm so afraid..."
Xi Yuanshan was once again touched by her sincere and gentle words.
In a moment of bewilderment, he recalled the time before he was diagnosed with cancer, how harmonious their family life was.
He then thought of Xi Ruzhu's tender care over the past couple of days, and for a moment, he felt reluctant, a faint sense of protectiveness rising in his heart.
How did it come to this?
He gritted his teeth, looked up at the cold and isolated man on the leather chair, and said, "Why? Why are you forcing us like this? Could it be that you are... Gu Qiusha's admirer?"
