Jealousy Comes to an End—Ye Zhaoxuan understood all the reasoning.
The thing she cared about most was no longer a source of worry.
Naturally, she no longer had to fear being driven out.
Yet...
The illusory feathers that kept falling were still a complicated mix of half-black and half-white.
Her mother's explanation and consolation could not possibly have had no effect. Once even the most painful knot in one's heart had a reason behind it, how many people could not understand their own mother?
What Ye Zhaoxuan cared about most
was no longer a stone weighing upon her heart. At last, she had stolen a brief chance to catch her breath.
For the first time, the gray mood that had lain dormant for so long caught sight of a rainbow at the edge of the sky.
At this moment, as the heartfelt exchange formally came to an end, the little angel greedily enjoyed her mother's embrace. The smile on her little face was the purest kind belonging to a child—silly, sweet, and innocent.
A knot in the heart could be untied, but corruption was hard to dispel.
Just as Ye Xiaoyao had once analyzed for her, her spontaneous jealousy was a bloodline instinct that lured her toward corruption.
She could understand that her mother had her reasons, but she had no way to completely suppress her instincts.
That was something a baby barely two years old was not yet capable of doing.
But still, having reason beyond instinct to serve as an anchor was already enough to let her gradually understand her mother's painstaking intentions...
She would no longer sulk so easily, nor would she so easily fall into corruption.
Yet for the time being, she still had no way to reverse the changes corruption had already brought about.
