"Why bother?" He Lingling furrowed her brows tightly. "You've made it so obvious, wouldn't calling you be asking for trouble?"
Li Fengnian sighed leisurely, "It's not that you're looking for trouble; your insecurity is getting the better of you."
He Lingling was stung by his words and suddenly erupted in anger: "You're the one who's insecure, your whole family is insecure!"
Unexpectedly, Li Fengnian admitted, "Yes, I'm insecure because I'm over ten years older than you. I'm insecure that I'm about to step into middle age while you're in your prime. I'm insecure that one day I'll really be old, and you'll run off with young guys. That's why I indulge you, let you do whatever you want, but have you ever considered me? Have you ever proactively cared about me? Why is it that when you returned home, I didn't call you? Is it because I want to break up with you, and it's not that something happened to me and I couldn't call you?"
