The conversation with his mother revealed to Chen Xiao why Old Chen hesitated to speak.
He now completely trusts Chen Xiao's abilities.
It is precisely because of this that Old Chen's longing over the past decade became even more intense upon seeing Chen Xiao again.
Yet, he was worried.
Worried about causing trouble for his child.
Also worried that after finally being together again, Chen Xiao and Lin Xi might resent him if they were separated once more.
Thus, Old Chen never spoke up.
But his mother is straightforward and never hides anything.
Chen Xiao returned to the main room and saw Old Chen staring blankly at the moon in the yard, so he moved a chair to sit beside him.
"Dad, how about we have a drink together?"
At dinner, Old Chen didn't mention drinking, so Chen Xiao didn't bring it up either.
Now upon hearing this, Old Chen seemed tempted.
"Not too much, right?" Old Chen was a bit uneasy.
Chen Xiao chuckled bitterly, "Not much, just a little bit."
