Jiang Boya arranged for the renovation of the Jiang family's old house. He expresses his desire for his daughter Kang Li and grandchildren to live there, but Kang Li is hesitant due to his frequent travel. Jiang Boya then offers a three-courtyard house near Shuimu University for Kang Li and the children to live in. Kang Li agrees to move in, though she still plans weekend visits to the compound.
"Still feeling a bit sheepish, are we?" Jiang Boya inquired with a grin directed at Kang Li. "You're still bringing that up?!" Kang Li shot him a glare. Upon witnessing Kang Li's reaction, Jiang Boya burst into hearty laughter. "If you don't stop laughing, I'm leaving," Kang Li declared, feigning an attempt to stand. "Alright, alright, Daddy won't laugh anymore," Jiang Boya relented, gently stopping Kang Li from departing. His expression softened with a touch of wistfulness as he spoke, "Not being able to witness your birth, to be there as you grew up – that remains a lifelong regret for me. And when we first met, you were always so exceptionally well-behaved and sensible. Honestly, Daddy felt incredibly comforted, yet simultaneously lost, feeling rather useless, unable to do anything for you. Do you know the reason why?" Jiang Boya didn't wait for Kang Li's answer, providing it himself: "It's because you are so outstanding, so capable, that you never needed Daddy's assistance in any way. This created a sense of distance between us. But today, that barrier has finally crumbled!" With the corners of his eyes glistening with tears, Jiang Boya's face remained illuminated by a smile. "Daddy is truly happy right now." "You are dwelling on it too much." Kang Li responded, her gaze shifting back to Song Xuan. "Although the initial circumstances of my arrival here involved my grandfather bringing me using those peculiar methods, and deep down, it was due to my grandmother's entrustment that I stayed by your side, sharing stories with you every day and reading to you. Ultimately, you are my biological father. It's impossible for me to see you and feel absolutely nothing. Not to mention that all the arrangements for my enrollment in prestigious schools here were handled by you, and my living expenses, encompassing everything from food to transportation, have consistently been your responsibility... Daddy, I can't exactly claim you are the most competent or the best father in the entire world, but you are my dad, and I acknowledge that wholeheartedly from the depths of my heart. Hmm, besides, considering our interactions over these past few years, in my heart," Kang Li tapped her chest, gesturing towards her heart with a slight smile, "you do qualify as a competent father." Jiang Boya wasn't displeased in the slightest. "It appears Daddy still needs to keep working diligently to become the truly good father in your heart." Yes, he acknowledged he wasn't a competent father, not a good father. He had left a pregnant woman with his child to go abroad for many years. Despite having an excuse, it was still a failing. "I never said you weren't a good father." Kang Li chuckled, shaking her head. "Daddy understands what you mean." He realized that neglecting his paternal duties for twenty years meant he couldn't be considered a good father in his child's eyes. Jiang Boya's heart was clear; he had already resolved from the moment he awoke to dedicate the rest of his life to making amends for his shortcomings towards his daughter. "Okay, okay, let's stop dwelling on the past." Kang Li waved her hand, rising to her feet. "I'll head back to my room and organize my luggage so that nothing is left behind when I depart." "Go ahead." Jiang Boya nodded, his gaze following Kang Li affectionately as she ascended to the second floor. ... Back at the residence. The courtyard. Deep into the night. "Should we perhaps give Li Bao a call?" Cai Xiufen, tossing and turning with sleeplessness, finally sat up by the bed, wrapping a cotton jacket around herself. She turned to Captain Kang with a deeply worried expression. "At the end of the year, I had a suspicion that Ruiri and the others might have been keeping something from us. But when I questioned each of them individually, they all shook their heads. Now, Vivi suddenly announces that her biological mother is alive and that she wishes to go live with her. We can't stop her. Yanqing is constantly busy with work and just tells us not to worry. If Li Bao returns and finds out, what will we do?" With a heavy sigh, Captain Kang also sat up, retrieved his cotton jacket, and pulled it around himself. He rubbed his forehead and replied, "Li Bao will be back in two or three days. If you call him now, won't it just make him anxious? If he rushes back in a panic and something goes wrong, we'll regret it far too late." "Yes, yes, you are Little Baby, what possible fault could you have?" Kang Li said with a helpless smile, turning her attention back to Song Xuan. "Every single one of them is a handful; there’s never a moment of peace." Song Xuan's eyebrows twitched with amusement. "Bun and the others are quite well-behaved. Just like Ruiri and them when they were young, they are both adorable and smart, making them incredibly endearing." "Stop praising them, or their heads will swell up to the sky." Despite her words of mock disapproval, Kang Li's fair and elegant face was wreathed in smiles, and the deep affection in her beautiful eyes was unmistakable.

"Sigh!" Guoguo let out a sigh, sounding much older than her years, and then her small, childish voice piped up: "Mama, what should your Little Baby say? You clearly cherish me, Bun, and Tangyuan immensely, yet you insist on being so contrary. Doesn’t such behavior tire your heart out?"
