Li Zhanting strode forward, his deep, cold eyes like sharp scalpels: "Father, do you intend to keep hiding like this?"

These words struck Li Tianyi like a thunderbolt, and he turned around abruptly.

His deep eyes fixed on Li Zhanting, his pupils trembling slightly.

After a few years apart, his son, who was still somewhat naive back then, has become a renowned ruler in the capital. The face before him is more mature and composed than before, and his sharp edge is probably even greater than that of his father.

This is his own son, how could he possibly hide from him?

Seemingly sensing the resolute indifference in Li Tianyi's eyes, Li Zhanting approached step by step, his voice as cold as ice:

"If Father wasn't hiding, why hasn't he returned to the Li family all these years? The royal family is certainly important, but did Father ever think of leaving a message for the Li family? Father, do you know how many years Grandpa and I have waited for you!"

Therefore, he was overjoyed when he learned that his father might still be alive.

I long to reunite with my father, and even more so, I long for my family to be reunited!

Li Zhanting's voice struck Li Tianyi's heart like a hammer blow. Li Tianyi's dark eyes deepened, and then, as if relieved, he let out a clear and pleasant laugh: "Haha, as expected of my son, Li Tianyi, you actually dare to lecture your old man."

Li Zhanting stood tall and straight like a pine tree, while Li Tianyi strode up to him with a smile and said:

"Your attempt to provoke me won't work. I have my own reasons for staying with the royal family of Country Y."

Seeing Li Zhanting's sharp brows furrow, Li Tianyi patted Li Zhanting's shoulder and said with a sigh of relief, "Back then, I was also forced into a desperate situation by the Emperor-Slaying Alliance. Originally, I should have died in that upheaval in the Li family back then, understand?"

"Then why would Father appear in the royal family?" Li Zhanting asked, puzzled.

Based on his understanding of his father, his father should have no connection with the royal family at all!

Li Tianyi looked up, his deep gaze gazing into the distance, his eyes seemingly traversing time and space: "You only know that the Queen is an imposter, but do you know that Shao Mengying, the imposter Queen, is actually the vice leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, codenamed Red Lotus?"

"What?" Li Zhanting's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, a moment of disbelief flashing through his mind.

Immediately afterwards, Li Tianyi said, "When the Li family was in turmoil, they originally wanted to kill me. But Honglian hid me when I was seriously injured, so I was able to escape. After Honglian took control of the Queen of Y Country, her influence within the Emperor Killing Alliance increased, so the Emperor Killing Alliance allowed me to show my face."

"But all of this is conditional on the condition that I do not have any contact with anyone from the Li family! That's why I haven't contacted the Li family all these years. If my actions are discovered, then everything I've done in Y country will be in vain!"

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Yan's cold voice, filled with countless frustrations, came through: "And what about me!"

Li Zhanting and Li Tianyi turned their heads in shock at the same time, only to see Mo Yan striding towards them with her long, slender legs.

"Mom!" Li Zhanting's eyes showed a hint of shock. He quickly ran to Mo Yan's side and helped her up. "Mom, what are you doing here? Oh, right, Dad, since you and Mom are both here, why don't you come back with us?"

The entire Li family cannot exist without his parents. You must know that the Li family was built up by his parents themselves.

Even after many years, Li Zhanting still remembers the tall and straight backs of his parents standing atop the peak.

This Li family should have been their domain!

Li Tianyi's cold face turned frosty as he clearly took in Mo Yan's delicate features.

For some reason, it felt as if my heart was being cut by a knife; the pain was so intense that even breathing became difficult...

It's this woman again. Zhan Ting calls her Mom?

But... Li Tianyi clenched his fists in anger, but no matter how hard he tried to search his memory, he couldn't find any recollection of her!

Mo Yan subtly broke free from Li Zhanting's grasp, her deep, tearful eyes gazing at Li Tianyi with heartbreaking sorrow, as if she wished she could forever etch Li Tianyi into her mind:

"Li Tianyi! I've searched for you for so many years, do you even remember my existence?!"

"You've forgotten, haven't you? But Tianyi, do you remember all those years we spent together? Do you remember when you knelt before me proposing, telling me countless times that you loved me? Do you remember when Zhanting was born, you cried as you held my hand and said we'd never have another child! Because you couldn't bear to see me in pain, couldn't bear to see me cry. You said we'd stay together until the end of time, watching the sunset together! Have you forgotten all of that, Li Tianyi?!"

Even as she screamed and tears streamed down her face, it did not diminish her stunning beauty.

Li Tianyi's tall and straight body seemed to have been struck by lightning, and his mind was in turmoil...

In his mind, it seems there really was someone who used to hug his neck in a coquettish way countless times and kiss him again and again.

But when he tried to recall all those memories, he found that the memory seemed to have been swept away by something!

Li Zhanting looked at Mo Yan with surprise and doubt, then at his father with a cold expression, deeply shocked.

He quickly stepped forward to help Mo Yan up, then looked at Li Tianyi suspiciously: "Mom, what's going on?"

"Ask him!" Mo Yan pointed angrily at Li Tianyi, whose face was cold and stern.

Meeting Mo Yan's cold and desperate eyes, Li Tianyi felt as if something had pierced his heart, causing him unbearable pain.

But his mind was blank; he couldn't remember Mo Yan at all. Therefore, his expression towards Mo Yan grew even colder.

"Madam, please watch your language. I saved you, not so you could come here and bother me."

His indifferent gaze was cold and ruthless, and when it fell on Mo Yan, it made her seem like a joke.

Madam? He actually called her Madam?!

"Dad! She's my mom, don't you remember?!" Li Zhanting was furious and grabbed Li Tianyi's wrist tightly.

This situation was simply unbelievable to him!

He still clearly remembers how much effort his father put into coaxing his mother back then.

I remember even more clearly how much dog food he ate when he was a child!

Whether in the eyes of the people of the capital or in Li Zhanting's own eyes, his parents were an enviable couple!

But now that they've finally reunited, his father has completely forgotten about his mother's existence?!

Li Tianyi's cold, sharp eyes narrowed slightly, his expression turning even colder as he looked at Mo Yan: "I still have things to take care of. Don't follow me anymore, or I won't be polite! Don't think that just because Zhan Ting calls you 'Mom,' I'll respect you!"

The moment he finished speaking, Li Tianyi turned and left without showing any mercy.

"Tianyi!" In that instant, Mo Yan rushed forward as if she were not afraid of death and hugged Li Tianyi's waist tightly.
