When Tang Ran arrived at the Tang residence, it was already past two in the afternoon.

The car parked by the main entrance. The driver had just unbuckled his seat belt and was about to get out when he glanced outside the car. He went still after seeing the man coming out of the front door.

“Mr. Tang.” He hurriedly got out of the car.

“Mm.” Tang Shixin nodded, his complex gaze falling onto the backseat of the car, “I came to receive Xiao Ran.”

“Oh, oh good.” The driver was obviously a little surprised to hear this, and blanked for two seconds before reacting. He turned around, and pulled open the back seat door, “Xiao Ran, your d…..”

Awkwardly stopping before addressing him, the driver changed his words at the last moment: “Mr. Tang came to receive you.”

Sitting in the car, Tang Ran seemed to regain her consciousness. She tilted her face toward the voice’s direction.

Although her extremely beautiful pair of eyes were closed, her appearance had a seventy or eighty percent resemblance to his younger sister’s face when she was young. Tang Shixin was taken aback for a moment.

How was it so similar, ah…… It was just that Tang Shiyue as a child was much more lively and proud, never so quiet. Tang Shixin remembered that he was always complaining, envious of other families’ ladylike and quiet younger sisters, lamenting how his younger sister was like a little witch.

Now, her daughter was the complete opposite, like she belatedly listened to her uncle’s thoughts from before. Born beautiful and quiet, even sitting in the car, without speaking or moving, she also revealed her calm and quiet temperament. If they could see, the beautiful pair of eyes should also be clear and pure.

Unfortunately……

Recalling the accident from back then, Tang Shixin’s heart sank.

He didn’t let his emotions show for too long, in case they were picked up on. Tang Shixin quickly adjusted his mood and spoke warmly to the girl in the car: “Xiao Ran, get out of the car, alright. I’ll bring you in.”

“……”

Finally, Tang Ran slowly came back to her senses from her dazed thoughts. The sound of cicadas and the hot summer breeze re-entered her awareness.

She recalled something. The unfamiliar voice in the darkness was her and Tang Luoqian’s father, Tang Shixin. He was the only family member who gave her a little bit of joy in the panic after she lost her eyesight, but soon after, he also personally made that joy turn into complete disappointment.

Tang Ran lowered her head.

She slowly fumbled in the darkness for her cane, unfurled it, then tentatively tapped it on the ground.

The girl stepped out of the car on her own, her voice quiet and soft: “Thank you. Please tell me when there are obstacles or steps, I will be careful.”

Tang Shixin was slightly stunned.

As soon as the driver next to him heard Tang Ran’s words, he immediately looked at Tang Shixin worriedly, fearing that he would be displeased. To his surprise, after a few seconds of absentmindedness, Tang Shixin was not only not displeased, but even showed a slightly sincere smile.

“Okay, I will alert you.”

Tang Shixin turned around and deliberately slowed down, waiting for the tiny girl to follow him with her blind cane.

While slowly walking through the Tang family’s old mansion, which had been renovated, he thought of his younger sister who had left the country after falling out with the family and had not returned for more than ten years.

Although she wasn’t quite the same as her, this was a weak, soft and somewhat pitiful-looking child. But beneath the surface, some unbreakable strength and well as stability came with her, ah……

Good.

Tang Shixin personally took Tang Ran around the Tang residence to get acquainted before leading her back to the drawing room of the main residence.

He intended to sit down and talk with the little girl. Unfortunately, just after the two arrived at the first floor’s drawing room to sit on the sofa, Tang Luoqian, who had somehow gotten wind of this, came down from upstairs.

Tang Luoqian stood at the base of the stairs on the first floor, frowning for a moment at the silhouette of the girl on the sofa before she curled her lips and walked into the drawing room with dissatisfaction.

Tang Ran didn’t know whose footsteps they were at first until the maid in the drawing room brought out the black tea tray for Tang Shixin and Tang Ran, and seeing Luoqian, she asked, “Luoqian, what would you like to drink?”

Tang Luoqian frowned, “Carrot juice, mixed with 10% lemon honey.”

“Okay.”

The moment this conversation began, Tang Ran, who was sitting alone on the sofa, discerned the approximate location of Tang Luoqian and slightly tensed.

After giving these directions, Tang Luoqian also didn’t speak, and sat directly beside Tang Shixin on the sofa.

The air was frozen for a moment.

After a few seconds, Tang Luoqian’s eyes turned and she sidled over and put her arm around Tang Shixin: “Dad, I saw a new bracelet from Cartier yesterday. It seemed to be limited edition― can you get me one as a present?”
