"That's right." Her expression was resolute at the time. "And I already have a new partner to marry. He's a very ordinary person. Being with him, I won't be scared or trembling. I..."
He didn't want to hear any more of this, so he interrupted her without hesitation: "I once said that if one day you don't like me anymore, as long as you tell me, I will never pester you again. Today I will fulfill my promise! I wish you happiness!"
After saying these words, he threw away the engagement ring he had prepared, then turned around and left without hesitation.
When Jin Feng thought of the past, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Same.
After entering the private room, Ran Xia looked up at Jin Feng who was sitting on the sofa without any fear.
It was the same young man who was photographed with his mother.
Although he is approaching middle age, the temperament between his eyebrows is still exactly the same as that of the young man in the photo.
"Uncle Jin."
At this time, Zhan Beiyao had already taken Ran Xia's hand and walked to Jin Feng, who was sitting upright on the sofa, and said very politely: "This is my fiancée Ran Xia."
Jin Feng collected his thoughts and politely invited, "Please sit down."
Zhan Beiyao took Ran Xia by the hand and sat down directly opposite Jin Feng. He said calmly, "Uncle Jin, I'm very sorry for disturbing you by coming to Xicheng last time. Regarding what I said to you last time, I want to make a clarification. Actually, my fiancée..."
Jin Feng raised his hand at this moment and interrupted Zhan Beiyao: "Can I be alone with her for a while?"
Zhan Beiyao frowned.
What does Jin Feng mean by this?
Could it be that he wants to do something to his little girl?
Jin Feng seemed to understand Zhan Beiyao's intention, so he said, "Master Zhan, don't worry too much. I won't hurt her."
Ran Xia also wanted to have a good talk with Jin Feng, so she smiled faintly at Zhan Beiyao: "Master Zhan, don't worry, I will be fine."
Although Zhan Beiyao felt a little reluctant, in order to let the little girl fulfill her regret, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll wait for you outside, call me if you need anything."
At the same time, Jin Feng also said to the two bodyguards behind him: "You go out first."
Soon, Jin Feng and Ran Xia were the only two people left in the private room.
Jin Feng no longer hid the truth and asked directly, "Are you Chen Bilan's daughter?"
"That's right." Ran Xia nodded without changing her expression: "I am Chen Bilan's daughter."
"I heard you were looking for me?" Jin Feng narrowed his deep eyes slightly, and his gaze stayed on her for a long time.
"That's right." Ran Xia admitted without hesitation: "I am indeed looking for you."
"Do you think you are my biological daughter?" Jin Feng asked back.
Ran Xia couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips: "Is it not so important now, because you don't plan to have another daughter at all, am I right?"
Jin Feng's eyes seemed to gradually become deeper, and he suddenly asked: "Do you want to hear the story between me and your mother?"
Ran Xia: "Go ahead."
Jin Feng thought of the past and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. "Your mother was my first love. We fell in love at first sight. We had the most beautiful and happiest time at Jiangcheng University. I thought we could stay together like this forever."
At this point, the man's smile suddenly disappeared. "But after I graduated, when I was mentally prepared to propose to your mother, she suddenly broke up with me. She disliked my family background and felt that she couldn't have a stable life with me."
At this point, Jin Feng paused, as if he was enduring something: "I left in anger at the time, but two months later, I found that I couldn't forget her at all. When I came back to look for her, I learned that she had married another man. She had completely betrayed me."
"No!"
But Ran Xia denied Jin Feng's words without hesitation: "My mother has never betrayed you. She and Ran Dongcheng were just in a fake marriage. You are the only one in her heart from beginning to end!"
At this point, the girl took out the photo of the little prince and his mother from her backpack and said, "This is something my mother left behind."
When Jin Feng saw the book about the Little Prince, his expression gradually became solemn.
This book, The Little Prince, was bought by him as a gift for Chen Bilan when they were browsing a bookstore together. Chen Bilan liked it very much at that time.
He thought Chen Bilan had thrown this book away a long time ago, but he didn't expect that she still kept it?
"And this photo, isn't it the best proof?" Ran Xia handed over the photo in his hand.
Jin Feng took the photo, and when he saw the few lines of words on the back of the photo, his eyes suddenly turned red.
He doesn't understand.
Since she loved him too, why did she give up on him in the first place?
"Mr. Jin, I know you don't want to acknowledge me as your daughter, but that's not important." Ran Xia continued calmly, "The reason I came to you today is just to explain to you clearly that although my mother and Ran Dongcheng had a fake marriage, she never consummated the marriage with Ran Dongcheng, and she has never betrayed you!"
"How do you know this?" Jin Feng asked in confusion: "Did your mother tell you?"
Ran Xia said calmly, "My mother got drunk and passed out on the night of her wedding, but Ran Dongcheng didn't go to the bridal chamber that night. If I'm guessing correctly, the person who went to the bridal chamber to consummate the marriage with my mother that night was you, Mr. Jin, right?"
Jin Feng: “…”
That night 16 years ago, he was indeed unable to swallow the anger of learning that Chen Bilan had married someone else, so he ran to Chen Bilan's wedding room.
He originally wanted to take the opportunity to beat up the man who married Chen Bilan, but he found that only Chen Bilan was drunk in the bridal chamber.
He still vaguely remembered that night Chen Bilan kept murmuring: "Hubby, hug me, husband, I'm so cold."
Perhaps it was because this sentence angered him, and he slept with Chen Bilan in a fit of rage.
Later, he left Jiangcheng in disappointment. Since then, he has never returned and has never asked about Chen Bilan's whereabouts.
Chen Bilan never looked for him either.
From then on, he gradually froze his heart, accepted his family's arranged marriage, and formed a new family.
Thinking of this, he asked, "Is your mother... okay now?"
A bitter smile flashed across Ran Xia's lips: "Mr. Jin, it seems that you really don't love my mother that much. You don't even know that my mother has passed away for 16 years."
"What did you say!!"
When Jin Feng heard Ran Xia's words, he stood up suddenly.
"My mother died of heavy bleeding when she gave birth to me 16 years ago." Ran Xia held back the tears in her eyes and said calmly.
