<strong>Chapter 1195: She Wanted Her Father to Live at the Castle</strong>


    He Xiyan stretched out her hand and gave her daughter’s narrow shoulders a gentle pat.


    Her precious daughter was all grown up before she knew it and Xi Xi had matured from a young girl to a beautiful youngdy. She had failed as a mother since she failed to notice the changes in her daughter’s physique and also failed to tell her daughter what every woman would have to go through.


    She opened the sanitary pad.


    Soon, Xi Xi noticed that her mother wasn’t holding a piece of wet tissue in her hand. It seemed to be something else...


    He Xiyan patiently exined to her daughter the reason behind her bloodstained pants and also told her why every girl would have their period.


    Xi Xi heard her mother but she remained silent and she pouted unhappily.


    She epted the sanitary pad from her mother, pointed at the door and said, “Mom, would you please leave right now?”


    Xi Xi didn’t want her mother to watch her as she put her pants on for it would be such an embarrassing situation.


    He Xiyan turned and walked out of the toilet. Her daughter had grown up and she was no longer the little girl who insisted on sleeping with her every night. Xi Xi didn’t want her mother to intrude on her privacy and set aplicated passcode to unlock her phone.


    He Xiyan couldn’t help but sigh.


    Her child would grow up one day and leave her to pursue her studies or work elsewhere. It would be even more difficult to see her children once they got married. Then, she would truly be living alone and living out the rest of her life all alone.


    Xi Xi finally emerged from the restroom.


    Her face was stillpletely red. It could even be said that it was bright red in colour.


    She walked up to her mom and sat down beside her. Then, she wrapped her arms around her knees.


    He Xiyan could tell that her daughter was very upset as though she felt distressed.


    “Xi Xi, a penny for your thought?” He Xiyan asked as she wrapped her arm around her daughter’s shoulders.


    Xi Xi rested her chin on her knees and her dismay and distress were clearly reflected on her face.


    “They wereughing at me,” Xi Xi finally said in a small voice.


    “Who?” He Xiyan asked and immediately frowned.


    Xi Xi replied, “The boys in ss made fun of me when they saw how much blood was on my pants.”


    He Xiyan’s brows knitted into a deep frown. She finally understood what had upset her daughter that day.


    It turned out that Xi Xi had been teased at school.


    Her daughter was very concerned about her image and probably felt very upset at the thought of how she had embarrassed herself in front of her ssmates.


    He Xiyan patted her daughter’s back and saidfortingly, “It’s okay, Xi Xi. You should ignore those ssmates. They are just ill-mannered. Every girl would go through this so there’s nothing to be ashamed of, do you understand?”


    He Xiyan knew that her daughter was upset but she didn’t think that it was appropriate to bring up this topic in the parent’s chat group neither did she want to mention this to the teachers since it was a private matter.


    Xi Xi rested her head in her mother’s shoulder and snuggled in her arms just as she did as a child.


    She had been through a lot recently. She had first been frightened by her grandmother’s corpse, then she was shot by a gun, and now, she was the butt of her ssmate’s jokes.


    Everything seemed to be going badly for her.


    “Mom...” Xi Xi said as she pouted in dismay and grabbed her mother’s arm.


    He Xiyan put her arms around her daughter’s shoulders.


    “Mom, could I ask you for a favor?” Xi Xi said as she looked up at her mother. Her amber-colored eyes blinked at her mother and fluttered her long eyshes.


    “Go ahead and ask,” He Xiyan said tenderly.


    Xi Xi paused for a moment before she said, “I want dad to live with us at the castle.”
