“You…” Taken aback, Wen Shan gradually wrinkled up his brows as he stared at the lady across from himself. He’s 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, she’s undoubtedly somewhat different in appearance. It’s understandable that he couldn’t recognize her for a time. However, those eyes though, they’re the same cold pair of eyes she used on that day where she vowed to never return.
“You are… Yan’er?” He asks without confidence.
This girl… she grew up to be such a beauty, far better than her own mother’s.
Bai Yan? Chai Moon’s body stiffened up at the name, her tears disappearing like some sort of magic trick.
“Brother Shan, she… she is Yan’er?”
She’s been gone for ten years! How did she survive?
“You’re back Yan’er?” Wen Shan ignored Chai Moon’s flawed facial expression and flew into a joyous mood.
The time he spent with Bai Yan wasn’t fake, he really did care for the girl with his heart. It’s just that in comparison with his own life and safety, there’s nothing more important.
“That’s right, I’m back.”
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.
“But as soon as I came back, I was immediately welcomed with the news of my mother having another daughter? And not only that, she’s the same age as me? Why didn’t I know I have a twin sister? And why does she look so different compared to me?” Bai Yan’s sarcastic expression couldn’t be missed.
Getting stiff over the comment, Wen Shan awkwardly replies, “She… she’s not your mother’s daughter.”
“Oh? In that case then she’s my stepmother’s daughter? Mind telling me who her real father is? No wait, aren’t you afraid of my mother coming back to strangle you for raising someone else’s daughter and then giving her stuff away to said daughter?”
Every word coming out of Bai Yan’s mouth were stinging, causing the man to wring out in discomfort.
“How can you talk like that Yan’er? She’s Wen Fei Fei, she’s mine… she’s my biological daughter too.”
“Is that right?” Bai Yan presses in with force, her cold demeanor intimidating and unyielding. “But I remember my mother died when I was twelve, and this girl over there is azround my age… did you go behind my mother’s back and cheat on her with that older woman?”
“Yan’er…”
Wen Shan’s face was now getting a little unhappy: “Don’t 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.”
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 didn’t 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?
“Yan’er, Chai Moon…. she is very good and isn’t 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 mustn’t misunderstand them.”
