"Mm." Xia Yueqing nodded.
"Because of the dowry?"
Since she wasn't feeling unwell, Pei Yiting didn't rush to drive back.
"No." Xia Yueqing denied outright.
The dowry was just one aspect, but what truly moved Xia Yueqing was Zhen Shuangyan's feelings.
"For so many years, Aunt has been raising me, educating me to become an adult. Sometimes, I really envy Xia Yining; she is Aunt's real daughter, why am I not?" Xia Yueqing asked with a hint of self-mockery.
Although she wasn't Zhen Shuangyan's biological daughter, the treatment she received was no worse than Xia Yining's, even better.
But this feeling, it's different.
"Your relationship has already surpassed blood ties, hasn't it? So, does it really matter if you're not her biological child?" Pei Yiting asked with a laugh.
He hadn't expected Xia Yueqing to get stuck on this at such a time.
"Yeah, I know, but in my heart, there's still that longing." Xia Yueqing snapped out of it and shook her head.
