The atmosphere between the two became somewhat strange in an instant.
Ye Qiongfang noticed Xu Chuning's constrained smile and said nervously, "I'm not that—"
Before she could finish, Xu Chuning interrupted, "I know."
Ye Qiongfang: "Huh?"
"You are my mother." It was the first time Xu Chuning acknowledged Ye Qiongfang's identity. Her voice was quiet but strong, "I am not angry or upset because of what you said."
She looked at Ye Qiongfang seriously, "That is the truth."
Ye Qiongfang was taken aback, her eyes suddenly feeling warm, "I... I'm sorry."
She didn't know why she was apologizing to Xu Chuning; Ye Qiongfang just felt that she and Xu Yiming had wronged Xu Chuning; they had been too foolish before.
Xu Chuning pursed her lips, "I am not angry about the past."
It was just that their recognition came too late; if Xu Chuning said she didn't mind at all, it would be impossible. There was still a little barrier between them.
This barrier still needed time to dissolve.
