"I knew you doted on me the most, Father. With the selection just around the corner, you would never let me be embarrassed." Song Yunzhao's smile was as bright as a spring day.
The Third Master wasn't short on silver; he just found the situation both exasperating and amusing.
Moreover, his daughter hadn't even mentioned asking his wife for the other bracelet. She merely wanted a gift of equal value.
He knew his daughter understood that even if she asked, she would not receive it.
"Is there anything else?" The Third Master's voice softened at the thought.
Song Yunzhao shook her head. "No, that's all. I won't disturb your studies any longer, Father. I'll take my leave."
"Zhaozhao."
Song Yunzhao turned back. She saw her father sitting under the lamplight, and as his eyes met hers, they seemed to hold the gentleness and warmth of the night.
"It's nothing. Be careful on your way back."
Song Yunzhao left with a smile.
Although her father hadn't said anything more, she understood.
