"Ling Chengrong, Ye'er and I will not go back with you. Let's get the divorce done another day." Song Xia said this with a very natural expression, and it was clear that this was a decision she had made long ago.

Roger looked at Ling Chengrong with schadenfreude, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Although he had a premonition, Ling Chengrong still felt a pang of pain in his heart. After all, he had wronged her first. He had planned to respect Song Xia's wishes before coming, but he was still reluctant to leave her.

"The federal government is already divided, many departments are in chaos, and the old laws are no longer suitable for today, so whether or not this procedure is completed is no longer important."

What he said made sense, but Song Xia still suspected that it was a delaying tactic. However, since the matter had already been discussed, it didn't really matter whether or not they went through with the formalities.

"Whatever you want."

"Can I stay on Mist Star? I want to see more of Wenye." Ling Chengrong looked at Song Xia pleadingly, which made it difficult for Song Xia to refuse.

After all, he is still her biological father. Ye'er may say she doesn't care, but what if she still has regrets? Besides, this Mist Star isn't her territory, so how can she just kick him out?

However, someone couldn't sit still any longer. Roger stared at him menacingly: "Ling Chengrong, have you forgotten who the master of Mist Star is?"

Ling Chengrong said earnestly, "I can pay the rent."

"You..." These words left Roger speechless. Song Xia hadn't expected him to have such a humorous side.

"You still want to stay peacefully on Fog Star? On my turf, I can take your life at any time! I'll show you what a huge mistake it is to come to Fog Star alone."

"Now that Song Xia and Wen Ye are safe, it would be worth it even if I were to die here."

Song Xia remained silent. The honest words of a decent person are indeed more powerful than sweet talk. Fortunately, she was no longer a young girl, and fortunately, her heart was never with any man.

Roger cracked his knuckles: "Ling Chengrong, you're asking for it!"

"I am indeed very sorry for what happened back then, but if I could do it all over again, I would still arrest Letia. I just didn't expect the father and daughter to resist so fiercely."

“Ling Chengrong, do you know? Letiya had already accepted my marriage proposal, and she was even pregnant with my child.”

Ling Chengrong was taken aback, but then calmly considered one possibility: "She's using you."

"You're talking nonsense!" Roger suddenly stood up, his eyes bloodshot.

Ling Chengrong became increasingly certain: "Can pregnant women eat golden jade fruit? After she was arrested, I searched her residence, and there were remnants of golden jade fruit in the trash can by her bedside."

"You're talking nonsense! So many years have passed, how am I supposed to know if you're making up lies? And how can you be so sure that what's inside is the Golden Jade Fruit? How can you be so sure that Lettia ate it?"

Ling Chengrong's eyes remained unchanged: "Rogge, you know I never lie. Although the Federation has collapsed, the files from back then are still there. I can find a way to retrieve them for you."

“No need.” Roger clenched his fists tightly. “I have my own ways of getting everything. If what you’re saying isn’t true, Ling Chengrong, I’ll make you regret coming to Fog Star.”

Song Xia watched from the sidelines, her eyes filled with astonishment. She hadn't expected things to get even more dramatic. She knew Ling Chengrong; just as he had said, he was frighteningly honest and almost never lied. So, the story about the Golden Jade Fruit was most likely true.

Golden Jade Fruit is a noble fruit of the interstellar world, only flowering and bearing fruit under specific conditions on a single planet. When it was first brought back to the Federation, its unique taste and aroma sparked a craze. Later, research suggested that Golden Jade Fruit was effective in making women's skin delicate, causing its price to rise even more dramatically.

However, while the Golden Jade Fruit is good, it has one side effect that is not entirely bad: after consuming it, a phenolic substance is quickly produced in the body. For normal adults, this phenolic substance is not only harmless, but it can also balance estrogen levels in women. However, pregnant women and children should not consume it, as it may affect their development.

Because of these side effects, merchants selling the Golden Jade Fruit are strictly required to educate buyers about them, so there is no one unaware of its side effects. If Letia really ate the Golden Jade Fruit, then her pregnancy was fake, and she was deceiving Roger. Maybe even her romance was fake, just a way to get close to Roger, this outstanding student, to extract information.

If this is the truth, how devastating would it be for Roger!

After all, Roger had lived in hatred for many years, and even left the military region because of Letia's death. With his abilities, if he had continued in the military, his achievements would not have been less than Ling Chengrong's. However, the death of a lover who was suspected of being a fraud led him down a completely different path.

"Go ahead and investigate, Roger. Maybe we were all fooled back then."

Roger turned and left in a huff, leaving Ling Chengrong and Song Xia staring at each other.

Song Xia coughed lightly. It was impossible for her to let Ling Chengrong stay here overnight, after all, Ye'er was still here! With such a commotion, Ye'er couldn't possibly not be awake, so he just didn't want to come down and meet people right now.

Between her ex-husband and her son, Song Xia chose her son without hesitation.

"Do you have a place to stay tonight? If you haven't found one yet, I'll have someone take you to a hotel."

A fleeting look of disappointment crossed Ling Chengrong's eyes, but he didn't mince words: "Then I'll trouble you."

"where."

The two walked out one after the other: "May I come to see Wenye tomorrow?"

Obviously, for a big shot like Ling Chengrong, the presence of another person in the room was not something he could hide from him, and he guessed that the person who was unwilling to come downstairs was probably his son.

“I need to ask for his opinion first.” At this point, Song Xia’s expression turned slightly cold. “Ling Chengrong, after being kidnapped by pirates, Ye’er experienced many things, one of which was being given a drug that caused her to lose her childhood memories.”

Ling Chengrong felt a sharp pain in his heart upon hearing this, and self-blame and regret flashed in his eyes.

"Actually, Ye'er and I only recognized each other not long ago. Do you know why?"

Ling Chengrong's voice was a little hoarse: "Why?"

"Because despite losing his memory, in Ye'er's subconscious, he has always felt abandoned. He said he remembers his family turning away from him."

These words left Ling Chengrong rooted to the spot, his lips turning pale.

“I don’t know what kind of trauma it would take for a five-year-old child to remember that scene after being given the drug. That’s why I’ve never dared to mention his background. But thankfully, the years of companionship have touched him and he doesn’t resent me, his mother, for losing him.”

Ling Chengrong was so ashamed that he couldn't lift his head. He had no idea that he had such a great influence on his youngest son that he could make a five-year-old child resist the effects of the drug. How heartbroken Wenye must have been when he turned around and left Wenye to the traitor!
