"Mom, I'm not a chatterbox, and I'm not pretending or anything. I... I just felt stuffy inside, so I ended up talking more in front of you today."
Min Rui's cheeks flushed a little; Kang Li's teasing gaze made him feel awkward, and when he turned his head away, clearly avoiding her eyes, Kang Li couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, Mommy's just messing with you!"
Sighing softly, Kang Li gently patted the boy's shoulder and comforted him in a gentle voice: "Mom understands what you said. Right now, all you need to do is not overthink things. If everything turns out to be the way you imagine, we won't be afraid, got it?"
Min Rui's lips moved a bit, but he didn't say anything for a while.
"Silly boy, is it that you don't trust your dad, or you don't trust me?"
Kang Li folded her arms and quietly watched the boy, raising one eyebrow.
"No, I do trust you and Dad, but... but if it's really the way I think, I'm afraid I won't have the face to stay in this family."
