Under One Person: The frog cub gave me an insulating claw at the beginning

The air seemed to freeze slightly, and even Feng Tianci found it hard to breathe, knowing that a woman's youth only lasts a few years.

He exhausted all his energy waiting for someone, but he didn't feel any sense of fairness or unfairness.

The old woman beside her sighed helplessly. She knew this kind of torment, and she had once gone through it herself.

That's why he understood how difficult it was for the woman in front of him, and how a woman raising a child alone already faced a lot of criticism from the outside world.

"You've had a tough time. After your mother died, you must have suffered a lot of unfair treatment while you were out there all alone. Don't worry, once you're here, we'll protect you and never let anyone bully you."

After hearing that he had someone protecting him, Zhu Na didn't think that the protection he was receiving was what he wanted, so he gently shook his head to indicate that he didn't need it.

“It’s alright. I’m all grown up now. I don’t need protection anymore. It’s just that the answer I once had has finally been revealed. And when my mother died, she was always thinking about what the so-called right answer was. Now it seems she finally understands.”

If only they had spoken properly back then, or if only their mother had been a little braver.

Perhaps then this regret wouldn't have remained.

When the young girl in front of him seemed nonchalant and indifferent, how could Zhang Zhiwei possibly not care?

The little girl in front of him was his child, and although he had been a nag all his life, in his old age he still felt that being surrounded by children and grandchildren was a blessing in itself.

Seeing Feng Tianci's filial piety towards his wife every time he saw her, he felt even more nostalgic. If he had had a child when he was young, perhaps the child would be the same age as Feng Tianci now.

"Although I have let your mother down, I cannot let you down. Now that you are all grown up, I will do everything in my power to protect you and will never let your mother worry."

Faced with Zhang Zhiwei's kindness, the little girl didn't know what to say. In the past, she would have really needed it, but if she accepted it now, would her mother be unhappy?
"I know you mean well, but I don't know how to accept it."

"I want to visit my mother's grave."

“Then I’ll go with you.” Zhang Zhiwei offered. “Back then, because of a misunderstanding, we missed each other. If it weren’t for that, you might have a very complete family. So I should go to him and apologize to him so that he can forgive me.”

Feng Tianci didn't interrupt at all. After all, these are your family members, so if I expressed any opinion at this time, the young girl might overthink it.

Only after they left did the old woman say this in shock.

If Zhang Zhiwei's old flames were to come looking for him, one wonders what the young woman in front of him would think.

After all, Zhang Zhiwei had quite a few romantic entanglements in his youth, and once they found out, those people would be eager to come and cause trouble.

And the woman who was pursuing Zhang Zhiwei before must have been one of his suitors; her daughter already knows that.

Walking down the street, Zhu Na thought carefully for a moment. He also thought about the woman's existence. He thought about how, when he was young, his mother had always taken a step back out of fear of competing with others. But things were different now. "Father, there's something I want to ask you. I know that as a daughter, I shouldn't question you."

When he heard the child say that he shouldn't question, he was stunned. What did he mean by "he shouldn't question"?
Anything a child wants to ask is reasonable.

"It's okay, just tell me. If you have any questions, I can help you answer them. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

He breathed a sigh of relief when his father told him to speak. Perhaps his father didn't care at all, and he was just overthinking things.

"I want to ask why that woman was pursuing you, and why you had so many suitors when you were young? If it weren't for your suitors, perhaps your mother wouldn't have hesitated."

Zhang Zhiwei might have been proud in the past, but now he feels a little embarrassed in front of his daughter.

After all, his charm prevented his family from being reunited, so he deeply regretted having committed so many romantic escapades in his youth.

“That woman did like me. She pursued me when she was young. When I was young, I was also pursued by many people in the underworld, but you are my only child. When I married your mother, I was sincere. I apologize to your mother for what happened when I was young.”

Looking at his guilty face, Juna had already let go of the guilt.

His mother said that his father was a very popular person in the underworld, and she told him many interesting stories from their youth. His mother never complained.

Even on his deathbed, he instructed his son that if he ever met his father again, he must not cause him any trouble, for although his father was a womanizer, he would definitely be a good father.

Now he has experienced firsthand how humble and subservient a person who is very influential in the underworld is in front of him, and it seems that his mother was right.

“Actually, my mother has never blamed you. She even said you are a very good person. You protect many people, and you even saved his life before. If it weren't for you, he might have been in mortal danger…”

Thinking of his mother's words, he began to ramble on, recounting all his impressions of his father and the things his mother had said to him.

Zhang Zhiwei was shocked when he heard this. He had wasted several years of a woman's life, but she did not resent him. Instead, she told their daughter to be grateful for her father's existence.

But he was absent from the children's childhood and never cared about them. What right does he have to enjoy the children's affection at this time?

“Your mother was always a gentle person. She never blamed me, but I still feel sorry for her.”

When she heard her father say this, Zhu Na didn't know how to respond, after all, the harm her mother had suffered was very real.

"Father, this is a matter between you two, and I can't interfere, but no matter what, you're still my dad." (End of Chapter)
