At once, Father Hua raised his brows slightly, a hint of amusement showing in his eyes. "So that means you're still hiding something... is that right?"
"...Dad, do you really have to pick apart every word I say?"
Hua Ziyun felt he'd been completely exposed.
His face was full of helplessness.
"Haha."
Father Hua laughed heartily. "Think about how you're going to tell your mom."
Uh...
Hua Ziyun was already thinking about how to confess everything and ask for leniency.
Mother Hua sat on the sofa in the living room.
Seeing her son walk in, she smiled. "Have you made up your mind?"
"Are you going to tell us?"
"Do I even have a choice?"
Hua Ziyun smiled wryly.
His skills really weren't good enough.
Mother Hua had immediately realized he was hiding something.
"If you don't want to hear about what happened to me..."
Mother Hua's lips curled up.
Then her expression grew more serious. "Mom knows you must have your reasons for keeping this from me and your dad."
"Maybe you just don't know how to explain it."
"Maybe you were trying to spare your dad and me."
"But I still hope you'll tell us."
"If you don't know how to explain it, take your time."
"If you were keeping it from us for our sake... that would've been one thing."
"But now that I've found out, you should tell your dad and me the truth. That way, we won't be left imagining all sorts of things."
"That's what's best for us."
Hua Ziyun fell silent.
He had to admit that Mother Hua made a lot of sense.
She'd convinced him.
"Fine."
He smiled wryly. "I understand."
"Since you've already found out, I guess there's no point hiding it."
"Actually, I'm not hiding much from you."
