But Brother Yan’s was different. Though slightly lacking in taste, it was the most delicious she had ever eaten. "It’s not because of the person who cooked, but because of the person who is eating." Yun Ya knew the meaning behind this sentence and couldn’t help but smile, "You’ll definitely not be a good wife and mother in the future." Yun Ya frowned, "What do you mean by that?" Yan Song smiled and walked into the kitchen with the empty bowl. "Why would you say that about me? I don’t accept that. You’re discriminating against me," Yun Ya followed him into the kitchen, circling behind Yan Song. Yan Song finished washing the bowl and then thoroughly washed his hands again before turning and walking out. "Figure it out yourself." By five o’clock, the rain had let up, and it was time for Yan Song to leave. Shielding Yun Ya with an umbrella and his coat, Yan Song wrapped her in his embrace, keeping all the wind and rain outside. The two walked down the long alley of the Ji Family Manor, all the way to the manor’s entrance, where Du Shan was waiting in the car parked at the gate. "Brother Yan, when will you come back?" Yun Ya leaned into his embrace, reluctant to let go. "At most a week. Wait for me at home, be good, eat well, wear more clothes now that it’s cold, don’t get caught in the rain, okay?" Yun Ya nodded obediently. Yan Song kissed her forehead, turned around, opened the car door, and got in. Yun Ya ran out after the car for a long distance until it was out of sight; only then did she squat down on the ground, feeling lost. For some reason, she felt uneasy. The Capital City was such a bustling place, where the Yan Family, a vast and influential clan, was located. What would Brother Yan encounter on his trip there? She really wanted to go with him, but she knew that Brother Yan had to take this step sooner or later; he must work hard for their future... Just then, a car stopped next to her. Through the half-lowered window, Yun Shen’s profile appeared, looking somewhat gentler amidst the drizzling rain. "Yun Ya, why are you squatting here alone?" For some reason, Yun Ya suddenly remembered a scene from her past life when, acting rashly, she had angered Kang Jinse, causing him to kick her out of the Ji Family. It was raining heavily that day, just like today, and she and Miaomiao walked through the heavy rain like wandering spirits, at the same spot where she was now standing. Yun Shen’s car drove past them as she ran after it, calling out "Dad", but was splashed with rain and fell to the ground, watching the car mercilessly drive into the manor. In that moment, her young heart felt despair for the first time. Newest update provided by novel·fire·net As she watched Yun Shen step out of the car holding an umbrella and bend down to help her, Yun Ya instinctively brushed his hand away and stepped back abruptly. Yun Shen’s hand remained outstretched mid-air, drenched in rain. He looked up at the girl in front of him. Her eyes were defiant and enduring, her lips tightly pursed, her complexion a bit pale, yet in the light rain, there was a hazy aura about her, and the emotions in her eyes became even more indecipherable. His heart trembled suddenly under that gaze... "Yun Ya, what’s wrong?" he asked, speaking to her for the first time with such a gentle tone. Yun Ya’s eyes suddenly filled with tears, "Do you know how much I truly hate you?" Her tone seemed to be reminding herself of something. However, Yun Shen’s pupils suddenly shrank, and he let out a soft sigh. "I’m sorry... I owe you and your brother too much." "What good does saying sorry do now? Who can make up for our lost childhoods?" she pointed to the sky, "Do you know? This kind of weather for Miaomiao is like the end of the world. Do you understand why Miaomiao is ?" Yun Shen pursed his lips while Yun Ya sneered: "All because Miaomiao broke a bracelet you gave to Ji Lanyi, she made Miaomiao kneel throughout a thunderstorm night. His body was already weak, not even a strong adult could bear it, how could Miaomiao withstand it? She deliberately wanted Miaomiao dead. A biological son less valued than a broken bracelet, it’s just too ridiculous. How could you fall for someone like Ji Lanyi, why did you marry her, why did you give birth to us?" She suddenly started yelling frantically. She would rather Yun Shen despised her than look at her with those fatherly eyes; it made her feel a kind of fear. If he despised them so much, why put on this pretense, who was he performing for? Did he think she would soften ? Never. Unaware of these details, Yun Shen was surprised, "How could it be..."
