HSSB406: Heavens beyond our heavens

As Yan Zhaoge’s impressions of his mother, Xue Chuqing, were extremely faint, he had still been relatively calm within.

However, as he saw that seldom seen forlorn look on Yan Di’s face, he too felt rather emotional for a time.

Seeing his father with the looks of yearning for his wife, Yan Zhaoge pondered for a moment before a rascally smile suddenly appeared on his face, he going up and asking Yan Di, “Father, between you and mother, who’s the stronger one?”
