After Ye Yanfeng heard Little Xingxing’s words, he froze for a few seconds.
Seeing his dad’s reaction, Little Xingxing blinked. “Did Daddy do something to make Wanwan sad?”
Recalling what his father had done, to be honest, Ye Yanfeng was too ashamed to ask Shangguan Wan to be with him again.
“Daddy did her wrong, but no matter what she decides, Daddy will respect her.”
The moment he finished speaking, Little Xingxing shook his head like a small drum-shaped rattle. “I don’t want that. I want Daddy and Mommy to be together.”
Little Xingxing blinked his eyes at Ye Yanfeng mischievously. “Stupid Daddy, did you forget that you have me now? Even if Wanwan hates you, she will never hate me!”
Little Xingxing was like a small adult as he patted Ye Yanfeng’s arm. “I’ll help Daddy get Wanwan back!”
Ye Yanfeng’s eyes became a little moist. He didn’t say anything, merely pulling Little Xingxing into his arms.
Little Xingxing struggled a little in his arms. “Daddy, I can’t breathe properly.”
“Xingxing, call me a few more times.”
“Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy…”
In the past, Ye Yanfeng had never liked the word ‘Daddy’. After he had been brought back to the family by his father, there were barely any kinship between them. He knew that he had always been a tool for his father to stabilize his power.
He had never thought that the word ‘Daddy’ would sound so warm, so moving, like music to his ears that made him tear up from how warm his heart felt.
That night, Little Xingxing didn’t return as he laid with Ye Yanfeng, the father and son whispering secrets to each other.
“Although Wanwan is fierce usually, there are still many Uncles who like her. So, you have to work hard, Daddy!
“Oh right, I saw a pretty Sister with Daddy last time. Is she Daddy’s girlfriend?”
Ye Yanfeng stared at the mischievous boy, laughing. “No, Daddy only has your Mommy.”
The boy giggled. “That’s good. However, Daddy you look like you’re a playboy. No wonder so many girls like you.”
Ye Yanfeng was speechless. Was it really good for his son to say that he looked like a playboy? That wasn’t anything to be proud of, right?
…
The day Ye Yanfeng was discharged from the hospital, Shangguan Wan still hadn’t appeared.
It was a good thing he had his son.
Little Xingxing followed Ye Yanfeng back to Zuofeng Mountain.
“Daddy, Daddy, it’s the weekend tomorrow and the weather is really good, so let’s go for a picnic!”
At the thought that he would be leaving Yukou Border to go to a big hospital with Jing Ting for his surgery, Ye Yanfeng nodded in agreement to his son’s suggestion.
The boy leaned into his ear, whispering softly, “I will bring Wanwan tomorrow, so Daddy has to take this chance, okay?”
Ye Yanfeng smirked. “Alright, Daddy will do his best.”
…
Little Xingxing didn’t stay at Zuofeng Mountain that night, choosing to return to Shangguan Wan instead.
Once he was done showering, Little Xingxing lay beside Shangguan Wan, cupping his exquisite and handsome face with his hands. “Wanwan, I’m going for a picnic with my classmates tomorrow. Their parents will be going as well. I asked Daddy, but he said that he has something on tomorrow, so can Wanwan go with me?”
Staring at the boy who was blinking his large eyes, looking like he would cry the moment she rejected him, Shangguan Wan couldn’t bear to reject her son. “Alright.” After a few seconds, Shangguan Wan asked, “How’s your Daddy recently?”
“He’s good! A nurse thought that Daddy was very handsome, so they exchanged their contact numbers. Maybe, Daddy is going out on a date with her tomorrow!”
Shangguan Wan was speechless. She couldn’t deny his charm, but he had gotten a pretty nurse so quickly? And they even exchanged their numbers?
Noting how Shangguan Wan furrowed her eyebrows slowly, Little Xingxing turned to his side, a sly smirk appearing on his lips.
…
The next day.
Shangguan Wan prepared some food and cutlery for a picnic.
When she drove and arrived at the picnic venue, she didn’t see Little Xingxing’s classmates. Instead, it was Ye Yanfeng, Jing Ting and a girl that she didn’t know that were there.
She looked pretty and gentle.
At the thought of what Little Xingxing told her last night, Shangguan Wan’s heart tightened.
“Such a coincidence, did Wan’er come for a picnic too?” Jing Ting came forward, saying with a laugh.
Shangguan Wan laughed as well. “Yes, it’s such a coincidence.”
“Since we’ve met, how about we have a picnic together?”
Shangguan Wan glanced at the boy beside her, understanding everything when she saw him blinking at Ye Yanfeng. Unwilling to let Little Xingxing be disappointed, she nodded. “Alright.”
Shangguan Wan opened her car boot and took out what she had prepared from inside.
Ye Yanfeng walked over. “Let me help you.”
Shangguan Wan glanced at him. His facial features glowed under the golden hue, looking so handsome it was like he had walked out of a comic book.
No matter when, no matter what had happened, Shangguan Wan would still daze out slightly when she saw his face.
“Xingxing said that you found a nurse girlfriend?”
Ye Yanfeng’s hands froze for a second, glancing at their son who was standing not too far away from them. “He’s such a mischievous kid. He probably said that to make you jealous.” With that said, he leaned closer towards Shangguan Wan, almost pressing his lips against her ear. “Are you jealous? That girl is Jing Ting’s new girlfriend and has nothing to do with me.”
When he spoke, his breath sprayed into Shangguan Wan’s ear, making her scalp turn slightly numb. Shangguan Wan turned her head away slightly, avoiding his sexy lips.
Seeing his, Ye Yanfeng’s eyes darkened.
Little Xingxing and Jing Ting were staring at them from not too far away. Jing Ting crossed his arms, shrugging his shoulders. “It seems like we have to go for Plan B.”
Little Xingxing nodded. “Yes.”
Ye Yanfeng and Shangguan Wan carried the barbecue pit and tools down. Jing Ting passed each of them a bottle of water each. Shangguan Wan put the water to a side as she set up the tools instead.
“Let me do it, let me do it. Wan’er, Yanfeng and you can go get some firewood.” Jing Ting pointed to the south. “I saw quite a few dry wood there earlier.”
Shangguan Wan hummed in agreement.
Ye Yanfeng and her went towards the south wood one after another.
However, as they walked, Shangguan Wan didn’t notice where she was stepping as she suddenly seemed to step on air. Before she could realize, she suddenly fell downwards.
Seeing this, Ye Yanfeng hurriedly went to pull Shangguan Wan. However, he slipped as well and fell into a very deep trap with her.
The trap was covered with grass, so it wasn’t that painful to fall in.
However, wanting to get out was not an easy feat.
The hole was very deep, while the wall around it was very smooth. It was clear that it had been smoothed out by its creator specifically.
At the thought of Jing Ting and Little Xingxing, Ye Yanfeng felt his eyebrow throb.
“Wanwan, are you hurt?” Ye Yanfeng crouched down next to Shangguan Wan.
Shaking her head, Shangguan Wan stood up and looked around her, disappointment evident in her expression.
It seemed like they could only wait for help to come.
Ye Yanfeng passed the bottle of water he was holding to Shangguan Wan. “Drink?”
Shangguan Wan took the water and took a sip.
Although she had her phone with her, there was no reception in the cave. It seemed like they could only wait for Jing Ting to come and find them.
However, Shangguan Wan suddenly felt that something was wrong a while later.
Her body felt slightly hot.
She glanced at the man beside her, her mouth feeling parched for no reason.
Ye Yanfeng also realized that something was wrong with Shangguan Wan. He felt her forehead, it felt very hot.
“Wanwan, what’s wrong?”
Shangguan Wan swallowed. “It seems like Mr Jing is rather prepared.” To think he even used the method of drugging her! If she didn’t guess wrongly, Dr Jing had also drugged the bottle of water he passed her earlier!
“Wanwan, if you feel miserable, how about we…” Ye Yanfeng paused halfway, before he swallowed back the remaining half of his words. “Apart from remembering what happened to your Mother and about us in the past, what else did you remember?”
Shangguan Wan’s eyes were a little dazed. “I remembered some, but I don’t know if it’s everything.” She stared at his perfect side profile. “However, I’m more curious about this. After you saw me again, did you like me more or did you want to ‘take revenge’ more?”
…
[Feng and Wan’s teenage memories]
That year.
Ye Yanfeng hadn’t been brought back to the Royal family by the Prince yet and didn’t know he had the blood of the Royal family. His biological mother was a maid who passed away not too long after giving birth to him. He was also almost killed by the Princess Consort, though he survived fortunately and was adopted by another family.
Shangguan Wan was the Shangguan family’s Oldest Young Lady back then, having grown up in the military camp and was filled with the vitality and energetic excitement of a teenager.
At that time, she was hyper and optimistic.
Her physical results were very good in the camp, but her language and cultural results were not too good. That year, her mother asked her to focus on her languages and cultural knowledge, so she sent her to an elite school.
It was after entering the school that she realized that she was very different from the other girls her age.
Girls her age all wore knee-length skirts, white shirts, had long hair and were all soft and cute.
On the other hand, she wore exercise outfits, her hair short and covered herself completely. When she walked, her back straightened unconsciously, so she had a type of handsomeness the other girls didn’t have.
She had always been independent, so she didn’t let her mother or the maid take her to school. Not too long after walking into campus, she heard crazy screams.
“It’s Young Master Feng and the rest of them!”
She looked in the direction where the screams came from.
All she saw were a few teenage boys riding bicycles as they cycled in from the school gates.
The teenager cycling at the front of the group was wearing the school uniform, a white shirt and a dark-colored long pants. He didn’t wear the uniform neatly like the other boys, having unbuttoned several buttons at the top while his shirt wasn’t tucked in properly. He looked tall, thin and extremely arrogant.
A small breeze tugged at this soft black hair.
He had a handsome and exquisite face that belonged to a comic book, his skin fair as he appeared a little soft, but not feminine at all. The fringe in front of his forehead was a little long and covered his pretty eyes slightly. Under his tall nose, his scarlet lips were as soft and gentle as a cherry blossom. He wore a diamond stud in his left ear, which sparkled slightly under the sun.
He ignored all of the screams around him, with earphones pressed in his ears. He chewed onto a chewing gum while cycling. With how he looked, Shangguan Wan didn’t think that he came for school, no matter how she looked at him.
The first impression she had of him was that she thought he was the type that she hated the most. The type of person who was wild, arrogant, naughty and had his eyes above everyone else!
When he rode past Shangguan Wan, Shangguan Wan could smell the faint cigarette smell and light mint scent on him.
She was extremely surprised. She heard from her mother that the students in this elite school were all good and obedient students who didn’t smoke, didn’t fight and didn’t get into relationships early. Why was it so different from what she saw?
