âShishi, you are no longer young. There are some things that dad canât nag you about, but you should still know better! If you guys had your marriage registered and only had the wedding ceremony to settle, you wouldnât even be hearing anything from me! Right now, who knows if heâs truly serious about you? In this society, a manâs heart is like a needle in a haystack. You may think that he truly cares about you, but thereâs no knowing what he truly feels inside. Thereâs not even a guarantee that heâs the one whom youâll be spending the rest of your life with!â
Her fatherâs speech was well-meaning, filled with guidance and patience, yet every word of his was laced with crude truth.
She gripped the steering wheel tightly and kept her gaze on the road, but unnoticeably, she was actually biting her lower lip.
What her father had said was not unreasonable.
She could understand his concerns.
As a father, worrying about his daughter being cheated on and lied to by another man was understandable.
He did not know Mu Yazhe well, so having such worries was acceptable!
Yun Yecheng continued. âI wonât bother with what you both choose to do once you register your marriage, but before that happens, you must be mindful of your innocence, and thatâs why you shouldnât be cohabiting with him before receiving your marriage certificate; do you understand?â
She nodded.
âAlso, dad has another question I want to ask you, and you must answer me honestly!â
âAsk it!â She consented to his request.
âDo you love him, or are you with him purely because you once bore him children?â
If it was the latter, he would definitely intervene.
A marriage for the sake of children would never be a happy one.
He just wanted her to be happy and healthy. That was enough for him.
He sought neither wealth nor prestige for her; he only wished her to lead a happy life with a man she truly loved.
At a red light, his daughter stepped on the brake and turned to fix her eyes on him. She nodded seriously.
As they parked their cars in the garage, Mu Yazhe could feel his womanâs father gazing warily at his back as he walked over.
He turned to look at the older man, only to see his expression returning to normal in the next second.
He did not think too much about it as he transferred Yun Yehou to the wheelchair from the car.
From the side, he could hear Yun Yecheng instructing him, âBe carefulââ
He said, âDonât worry; I got this.â
The elderly man nodded but was still a little distracted.
As they moved to enter the house, the noise produced by opening the door sent the twins inside pitter-pattering toward them. Both were stunned to see the two elderly men, one of whom was someone they had not seen before.
âGrandpa, this is...â asked Youyou in surprise.
The older man was equally taken aback to see a boy, taller than his grandson by a head but had similar features, standing next to the other.
This was when he had a realization...
When his daughter became a surrogate mother for the Mu family, she had twins!
However, seven years ago, when the younger one was just given birth to, he was not breathing, so the Mus took away his healthy, older twin and left behind Youyou, whom they had mistaken for a stillborn.
This tall kid was probably that healthy twin at that time!
Little Yichen looked at his brother before shifting his gaze onto the elderly man and the one sitting in a wheelchair.
He was not alarmed by his sibling calling this unfamiliar adult âgrandpaâ as he realized right then and there that the man, whose face had gone through great changes, was likely his mommyâs dad!
