"Let’s talk about it in a few days, I don’t want to know right now." Since childhood, he had been instilled by Yun Shu with the idea of revenge, so naturally, he didn’t have a shred of affection for his biological father. "Maybe after tonight, you’ll want to know even less. What? Have you forgotten your mother who suffered to raise you now that you have a beauty?" He rubbed his temples in annoyance: "Just say it." Lanyi could wait a bit longer, couldn’t she? At worst, he’d apologize to her later. Since becoming pregnant, Lanyi’s temper had grown increasingly terrible, and when her petulance rose, he was utterly helpless. However, he relished it nonetheless. Thinking so, he couldn’t help but curl the corners of his lips upwards. "Reality may be a bit cruel, Shenshen, you must prepare yourself mentally," the woman’s voice, utterly calm, came through the phone. Heh... How cruel could it be, he wondered. It couldn’t possibly be that melodramatic. "Your biological father, his name is Ji Huaixi." From that voice, he heard a hint of hidden excitement. At that moment, he was focused on Yun Shu’s tone, so he hadn’t really listened. Yun Shu repeated it again and finally sighed, "I never expected you would marry Ji Lanyi. She’s your half-sister from the same father; although it’s incest, nobody in this world knows. I wonder what kind of expression Ji Huaixi would have if he finds out...." "Impossible, you’re lying to me." He simply couldn’t believe it. She must be deceiving him. How could such a coincidence exist in the world? It must all be a lie. "Shenshen, why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe me, you can take Ji Huaixi’s hair for a DNA test. The results will tell you the truth." "I’ve always kept it from you because I was afraid you’d be hurt. After all, you and that Ji family girl love each other deeply, and I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to handle this blow," Yun Shu’s feigned compassion came in waves, assaulting his eardrums. "Then why tell me only now?" he growled hoarsely. A spark flashed through his brain, and incredulously, his eyes widened: "You’ve known all along, haven’t you? You deliberately waited until now to tell me when it’s too late to change anything. Your revenge is indeed cold and ruthless...." "Shenshen, how can you speak to me like that? I did it for your own good. Without doing so, how could you gain Ji Huaixi’s trust and take back the inheritance?" "Enough, don’t pretend you’re doing this for my sake. You did it for yourself. In my next life, I’d rather be born an animal than be your son again." After hanging up, he stood there in a daze, soulless, hopeless, and utterly defeated. Deep down, he was very clear that everything Yun Shu said was true. He knew the woman all too well; ruthless and heartless, capable of doing such a thing for the sake of revenge. Even at the expense of using her own son. What should I do? What should I do? His heart was in turmoil, filled with agony. "Brother Shen, why are you standing at the door? Come in quickly." The door opened, and there stood a woman in a bright red wedding dress, adorned with large plum blossoms, making her even more dazzling and charming. Like a vibrant plum blossom in full bloom, she was a stunning presence that made time stand still. The lady, always bold and vibrant, in this moment, shed all her pride, as tender as water. Yun Shen looked at her; just a door apart, they were in completely different worlds. Thɪs chapter is updated by Novᴇl_Fire(.)net In an instant, he felt as though he had fallen from heaven into hell, an icy chill spreading through his limbs. "Brother Shen," the woman walked toward him with a warm smile, one hand resting on her belly: "Me and the baby are waiting for you! Our child has been very well-behaved today. She wants to say hello to daddy...." The child? Yun Shen involuntarily glanced at the woman’s stomach, his pupils suddenly constricting. No... this child must not be born. But looking at the woman’s gentle and beautiful face, he opened his lips only to find no voice could come out. "Brother Shen, she just kicked me, it seems she knows it’s daddy and is saying hello." As she spoke, she took his hand and placed it on her belly. The touch was warm. The woman, pregnant for more than three months, had a slight bump on her abdomen. Under his palm, there was a small bump, gentle like a bubble being blown, faint but still noticeable to him. There was no excitement, only deep disgust and despair. "Brother Shen, she just moved, it looks like she knows it’s daddy, saying hello to you." The woman said joyfully. "Doctors say the baby should move around four months, but it seems our baby is developing well, surely a very intelligent child in the future...." Yun Shen suddenly withdrew his hand and stepped back.
