Ling's second birthday was approaching. Pei Yan wrote ahead of time to discuss with Mei Wanying how to celebrate their daughter's birthday.
He also wanted to come to Jiangnan.
He said he wanted to see for himself how much Ling had grown. If he didn't see her soon, he was afraid his daughter would forget him again.
He also mentioned bringing a few tutors to begin Ling's education.
Mei Wanying felt it was a bit early, as starting at three wouldn't be too late. But Pei Yan thought their daughter was exceptionally bright and should be cultivated early, lest they hinder the child's future prospects.
Although Pei Yan wasn't in Jiangnan, he was anything but careless when it came to matters concerning Ling.
In his words, if he wasn't attentive to his child's affairs today, she wouldn't be close to him tomorrow.
He was her father, and he absolutely would not allow that to happen!
Since Pei Yan was willing to take on the trouble, Mei Wanying let him be.
