âYou...â Taken aback, Wen Shan gradually wrinkled up his brows as he stared at the lady across from himself. Heâs lost in a trance after a resurgence of memories swept over his mind.
When Bai Yan left, she was only twelve at most, coupling in with the fact that her earthly body had perished as well after that lightning bolt, sheâs undoubtedly somewhat different in appearance. Itâs understandable that he couldnât recognize her for a time. However, those eyes though, theyâre the same cold pair of eyes she used on that day where she vowed to never return.
âYou are... Yanâer?â He asks without confidence.
This girl... she grew up to be such a beauty, far better than her own motherâs.
Bai Yan? Chai Moonâs body stiffened up at the name, her tears disappearing like some sort of magic trick.
âBrother Shan, she... she is Yanâer?â
Sheâs been gone for ten years! How did she survive?
âYouâre back Yanâer?â Wen Shan ignored Chai Moonâs flawed facial expression and flew into a joyous mood.
The time he spent with Bai Yan wasnât fake, he really did care for the girl with his heart. Itâs just that in comparison with his own life and safety, thereâs nothing more important.
âThatâs right, Iâm back.â
I came back not only to avenge my mother, but also to let this fake man understand how stupid he was back then and the stuff he spouted.
âBut as soon as I came back, I was immediately welcomed with the news of my mother having another daughter? And not only that, sheâs the same age as me? Why didnât I know I have a twin sister? And why does she look so different compared to me?â Bai Yanâs sarcastic expression couldnât be missed.
Getting stiff over the comment, Wen Shan awkwardly replies, âShe... sheâs not your motherâs daughter.â
âOh? In that case then sheâs my stepmotherâs daughter? Mind telling me who her real father is? No wait, arenât you afraid of my mother coming back to strangle you for raising someone elseâs daughter and then giving her stuff away to said daughter?â
Every word coming out of Bai Yanâs mouth were stinging, causing the man to wring out in discomfort.
âHow can you talk like that Yanâer? Sheâs Wen Fei Fei, sheâs mine... sheâs my biological daughter too.â
âIs that right?â Bai Yan presses in with force, her cold demeanor intimidating and unyielding. âBut I remember my mother died when I was twelve, and this girl over there is azround my age... did you go behind my motherâs back and cheat on her with that older woman?â
âYanâer...ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wen Shanâs face was now getting a little unhappy: âDonât speak about her that way. No matter what you think of me, Moon is now your stepmother. Also... she suffered a lot as well and endured a lot of grievances because of my mistake. You returning now is a good thing. We can all be one happy family again.â
To tell the truth, Wen Shan did have some opinion about this second daughter of his. Wen Fei Fei was raised outside of the Wen Clan; therefore, the lass didnât know a lot of manners or rules that was expected of her. However, this cowardly man also knew he had no right to reprimand anyone since Chai Moon remains innocent in this matter. After all, the one who bedded her was him, and the who got her pregnant was also him. Furthermore, this second wife of his never asked for anything at all, only silently supporting him from behind at the very beginning, so what else could he ask of them?
âYanâer, Chai Moon.... she is very good and isnât seeking anything in return by being with me. I once forsaken them for the sake of your mother, yet they never asked for money and refused my financial support. Did you know? Your stepmother would rather live in a ragged old house than to live in the house I bought for her, you mustnât misunderstand them.â
