Their last name is also Baiâ¦.
And she looks so similar to herâ¦.
Can it beâ¦.
Slowly closing his eyes, Bai Zhanpengâs body was faintly shuddering as his heart kept giving rise to a single answer.
âDonât let anyone know about this yet. Iâm going to seek my fatherâs input first.â Suppressing that urge to run out this second, the manâs excited complexion couldnât be anymore obvious.
âYes milord.â The guard bends down, showing his compliance before turning away.
Alone again in this mildly quiet room, Bai Zhenpengâs calm fa?ade eventually crumbles. Throwing himself out the door like a rocket, the urgent man makes quick work of the distance between his room and the study where he would eventually find his father currently being smothered with the scent of dust and old age.
âSon, whatâs the matter? Is it that the preparations for the convention is ready?â
Showing a glimmer of hope in his eyes: âFather, do you still remember the story I told you about before? Of how a young lady managed to save me and even cured me of my illness thatâs been stubbornly plaguing my body over the years?â
âI do, but why?â Raising a brow at his sonâs abnormally high expression, âDo you want me to send her an invitation as well? If so then thereâs no need to ask me, you can take charge in my place.â
âNo Father, thatâs not why Iâm coming to you, itâs for an entirely different matter.â Sucking in a deep breath, Bai Zhenpang could no longer hold back his excitement and blurts out everything, âThereâs something I didnât tell you. That girl, she looks nearly identical to Ningâer (sister) when she was younger.â
PAKK!
Itâs as if a silent snapping sound just occurred in the study room.
Dropping the book from the palm of his hand, the elder slowly rises from his chair like a stumbling senior who couldnât control his body. In fact, the trembles were so intense that even the tea set on the desk was being affected and started to shake.
âWhat did you say? The girl who saved you⦠looks very similar to your sister? Why have you never told me about this?!â
His daughterâs been missing for more than twenty yearsâ¦. Whether sheâs alive or not, this poor father doesnât have a clue. So, imagine how much of a shock this sudden windfall must be for him.

âItâs because Iâve been investigating her background since I met her. At first the information came back as a negative. They say sheâs the biological daughter of a certain Bai House in that kingdomâ¦.â
Making a bittersweet smile, Bai Zhanpeng wanted to slap himself for being so foolish.
âThen why are you telling me this? Are you planning something?â Clenching his shaking hand until itâs making a crunching sound, the father fixes his gaze at his son like an eagle being renewed with life.
Looking straight back: âI became worried after I left that kingdom, thatâs why I had someone tail her during this period in order to protect her. Guess what Father, I just got word of something really important!â
Just thinking back to what the guard told him just minutes ago, Bai Zhanpengâs mood would instantly be thrilled with joy.
âTurns out the young girl I met isnât the daughter of that scumbag who leads that household, rather sheâs an adopted daughter of the late wife handed over by another woman whose surname also happens to be âBaiâ like ours! Based on this, I speculate she might be Ningâerâsâ¦.â
Biological daughter.
Though the middle-aged man didnât say the last bit aloud, but he could see he didnât need to, his father already knew what he meant.
Clehh.
The sound was the direct result of the senior crashing back down to his chair and knocking the teacup from the desk. For this, the warm liquid had soaked into the various books thatâs considered invaluable to the outside world due to the knowledge written inside.
âNingerâs daughter? Is she really my granddaughter? HAHA! I finally have a third-generation to my line! Wonderful, truly wonderful!â
