Bai Hanlin belatedly realized what had happened and instantly became embarrassed! The events of that year were quite complicated. In order to break free from the Zhong family's control and get rid of that woman, Zhong Jing, he didn't hesitate to fake his death.

He even had a child, Bai Zhixuan, with his later wife.

Who would have thought that she couldn't let go of Zhong Jing at all and wanted to explore what was so mysterious about the Zhong family's magic. That's why she devised a plan to send Bai Zhixuan over there so that she could grow up with Zhong Yan.

Now, seeing Zhong Yan, who looks just like Zhong Jing, right there, I feel a little dazed!

It's like everything from back then has come back.

"Zhixuan..."

“Dad! If you want to acknowledge her, just go over there. I won’t say anything.” Bai Zhixuan said with a wronged look on her face. “I know it’s all my fault! Dad, if it weren’t for me, you might have already acknowledged Zhong Yan.”

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Bai Hanlin frowned. "You're my only daughter. As for Zhong Yan, you know exactly what happened!"

Bai Zhixuan snorted coldly, looking like she wasn't in a good mood!

Bai Hanlin wanted to say something more, but the moment he saw her eyes, he swallowed all his words! Since he had chosen them, there was no need for hesitation.

Zhong Yan looked at everything not far away with a hint of irony. She hadn't realized that they had such a good relationship! Or perhaps Bai Hanlin was just a good father, but it had nothing to do with her.

She thought she had let go of the past, but when all of this was laid bare before her, she realized that she wasn't so magnanimous at all! Not only that, but her heart was filled with hatred.

Seeing her cold hands, Jiang Xiaochen felt a pang of heartache. Seeing her like this, he felt nothing but helplessness!

"Zhong Yan, don't be sad for people who are unrelated to you. They're not worth it."

"Yes, they're not worth it." Zhong Yan scoffed lightly, saying, "Jiang Xiaochen, do you know what it feels like to be abandoned?"

"I understand."

“You…” Zhong Yan hesitated for a moment before continuing, “I never want to experience those dark and hopeless days again.”

“You have me.” Jiang Xiaochen frowned and pulled her gaze over. He disliked the way she stared blankly into the distance, as it made him feel like he had no presence at all!

That feeling is not pleasant.

Zhong Yan felt a pang in her heart, and all the emotions that had been swirling around her vanished instantly! He was right; perhaps she should be more open-minded and not dwell on such things.

Just like he said, there's absolutely no need to make yourself upset over these things!

“Jiang Xiaochen…”

“Zhong Yan, thank you.” Jiang Xiaochen said first, “If it weren’t for you, I might not know what love is, let alone what I should do.”

To be honest, before he met her, he had been living a muddled life, doing whatever he felt like doing. It wasn't until he met her that everything changed.

So, what else could he possibly be dissatisfied with?

Zhong Yan curled the corners of her lips, then suddenly hesitated, wondering if he was saying this to her, or if he really thought she was that good.

Various thoughts flashed through my mind, but eventually settled into a state of calm.

That's enough!

Sometimes it's good to be a little oblivious, isn't it? Perhaps she should try to let go of her inner resentment and honestly accept her feelings; that wouldn't be a bad thing!

But who are they?
