Something shifted and changed between the couple, Yun Qingrong was certain. She could see the sweetness between her daughter and Lu Qingfeng, and was glad that the two were getting along and there weren't many changes since they got married. If anything, she noticed that her Feifei was calmer these days and wasn't as workaholic as she was before getting married.

Today, Qiao Fengying and the rest of his family will come for a visit. Yun Qingrong had yet to be discharged and she couldn't wait to go home as being confined in her hospital room was starting to drive her crazy.

"Feifei, have you already talked to your father?" She asked her daughter.

Su Xiaofei was busy cleaning the table they used during lunch earlier, while Lu Qingfeng was in the middle of a phone call, murmuring words neither she and Yun Qingrong could hear.

"Uncle Qiao gave me a call when he received the result of the paternity test. He apologized to me for not being able to find me sooner." She replied to her mother's question.

"Give him a chance, Feifei. I'm sure President Qiao would want to make up for the years of your separation." Yun Qingrong commented while observing her reaction.

While she had done the best of her ability to become a mother to Feifei, she knew that her daughter was lacking a father figure in her life, given how stale her relationship was with Su Haoran when she was younger.

Su Xiaofei only smiled, not making any comment over her mother's suggestion. If Yun Qingrong had already known the identity of her birth father a long time ago, then she wouldn't be surprised if her mother was already aware of Bai Qingyue's identity.

As for why her mother hadn't mentioned the actress yet, Su Xiaofei was giving her the benefit of the doubt and wouldn't force her to disclose it.

When the Qiao family arrived, it was just on time as Lu Qingfeng finished his phone call. Qiao Yuhan rushed to Su Xiaofei and threw his hands around her.

"Fei Jie! You really are my big sister!" He gave Su Xiaofei a boyish grin.

Even at the age of thirteen, Qiao Yuhan had yet to shed his childlike demeanor. Su Xiaofei hoped that her younger brother wouldn't change too much and wouldn't learn bad habits from others.

"Xiao Han, be careful not to touch my hand. I haven't washed it yet." She reminded him.

"Xiao Han, you shouldn't tackle your sister like that," came Liu Shulan's words. "I'm sorry, Feifei. He's been excited to come here and see you."

"It's alright, Aunty. I don't mind it." Su Xiaofei politely responded to her father's wife before giving her father a curt nod in a greeting.

Qiao Yuhan released his sister, but remained standing next to her. He then grinned when he saw that Lu Qingfeng was also with her.

"Little Brother, won't you join me to fetch some cold drinks while your sister washes her hands? I also need to pick up some desserts for her." Lu Qingfeng suggested, knowing that Yun Qingrong wanted a word with Qiao Fengying and Liu Shulan in private.

"But…" Qiao Yuhan hesitated and glanced at his sister. He just arrived to see her and he wasn't willing to part from her so soon.

Sensing his hesitation, Su Xiaofei nudged his side and nodded.

"Go. I won't be going anywhere. Just make sure that your big brother gets me a chocolate mousse cake and not the carrot cake he bought me last time."

"Okay! I'll make sure he'll get the right one!"

A smile bloomed on Qiao Yuhan's face and he nodded in agreement. He had already spent a lot of time with Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian in the past and both women doted on him like his own big sisters. As for Lu Qingfeng, his new brother-in-law, he rarely spent time with him in the past and he would always be in his sister's company.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go, Xiao Han." Lu Qingfeng gestured for the boy to follow him.

Su Xiaofei also excused herself to give her mother and their guests some privacy and left with Zhang Lan. Once they were gone, Qiao Fengying took a seat on the chair next to Yun Qingrong's bed, while his wife placed a hand over his shoulder and chose to stand next to him.

"President Qiao, I know what I have done is unforgivable, but please don't let Feifei suffer because of it." Yun Qingrong lowered her gaze in shame. She had denied her daughter and Qiao Fengying the chance of recognizing each other sooner.

"I understand, Miss Yun. You don't need to beat yourself too much because of it. I am thankful that the person who found my missing daughter was you. I couldn't imagine what kind of life she would have if it wasn't you." Qiao Fengying replied, choosing to understand where Yun Qingrong was coming from. He wanted to believe that she had done it only because she loved Feifei too much and feared that he would take his daughter away from her.

"I assure you, I won't be taking Feifei away from you. You are her mother regardless of what happened. I want to believe that both of us would only want the best for her, so let's move on for the better, Miss Yun. Feifei still needs you." He told her.

Just because he found Su Xiaofei, it didn't mean that Yun Qingrong could stop being a mother to her. If anything, she had been an amazing mother to Feifei, compared to Bai Qingyue who had abandoned their daughter at such a young age.

Yun Qingrong wept silently and nodded. She was lucky that Qiao Fengying had chosen to forgive her and allowed her to remain as Feifei's mother. If it was another person, she knew that they would be upset with her decision and would blame her for the lost time.
