The man smiled.
The old man had not finished speaking, but he more or less understood what he meant, and he knew what he was worried about.
He did not linger on the subject any longer.
Instead, he said, "Let's go up."
Once Yuan Yuan had seen Qiqi and received the divorce papers, the ties between him, Qiqi, and the Yuan family would be almost completely severed.
"Yes, yes. Let's go up."

"Dad will stay with Qiqi the whole time."
"Don't be scared."
"It's okay."

He squeezed it a little tighter, holding the child's hand
