Chapter 420: Chapter 394: Godlike Logic (Thanks to lody_Chentchen’s Langya Fairy Flower 3)
“… To be honest, I didn’t think that far ahead. At the ti, I believed that marrying Xiaohong would solve all our problems. But in reality, the problems weren’t solved, and things only got more difficult. Adding one trouble to another doesn’t cover up the first one; oftentis, when troubles compound, they create even more issues.”
For the first ti in his life, Yu Mingyi found himself opening up to soone so completely. Not even his parents had ever heard his inner thoughts, but he wanted to share them with her.
“It’s because you didn’t think far enough. When a woman loses her marriage…” Dong Yi didn’t know about the situation between Second Brother Yu and Wang Xiaohong, but her experience being called a mistress today was seared into her mory.
“Yes, I admit that on this issue, I was wrong.” Even after getting this far, Yu Mingyi didn’t bla his ex-wife for anything.
“Then… do you want to remarry her… Poor Panpan.” Dong Yi’s heart ached as she said this, but she knew she had to.
“The child isn’t hers.”
Dong Yi’s eyes widened, surprised at Yu Mingyi’s words.
“You had an affair during your marriage?!”
This was such a shocking revelation; she couldn’t imagine Yu Mingyi doing sothing like that.
“The child isn’t mine either…”
“What?!?!” She had been treating Panpan for so long and had never once suspected that this child wasn’t Yu Mingyi’s!
Panpan was a beautiful little boy. Dong Yi had carefully observed him, noticing that his facial features didn’t resemble Yu Mingyi’s at all.
Yu Mingyi had the handso and sunny charm of a man, while Panpan had a softer, more feminine quality. Especially since Second Brother Yu’s divorce, Panpan had been raised by his grandmother, and along with Dong Yi’s care and treatnt, the child’s skin beca fairer and rounder, making him look even more like a pretty girl.
Dong Yi didn’t have a strong impression of Wang Xiaohong, but she had heard from Xiao Qian that she was plain-looking, had a terrible personality, was morally corrupt, and very unreasonable – these were Boss Qian’s exact words. Boss Qian was quite accurate when it ca to judging people, and her assessnt of Wang Xiaohong as a woman was spot-on.
Despite this, Dong Yi never dwelled on it; she never guessed that Panpan was not Wang Xiaohong and Yu Mingyi’s son!
“Then Panpan is…?”
“He’s a child I adopted. Initially, Wang Xiaohong’s ntal state was unstable, and the psychologist I found wasn’t very professional. Their advice was for us to adopt a baby. By chance, we saw Panpan – he was left on a grassy patch not far from the airport, in a cardboard box, with the date of his birth. I brought him ho.”
“…” Dong Yi was at a loss for words, the revelation was simply too surprising.
Raising a child is not like raising a pet; how could Yu Mingyi have just picked up the baby like that? From what she saw, he was a very perceptive man, and she had always admired him for that.
But the way he led such a ssy life, it was truly baffling.
“A person with no long-term considerations is bound to have imdiate worries. I admit that I didn’t think things through in the past, but I don’t regret adopting Panpan. He and I share a special bond.”
“No wonder your ex-wife mistreated the child…” Dong Yi had always wondered how a mother could mistreat such an adorable child. Now, the puzzle was finally solved.
“It’s precisely because I didn’t handle everything properly in the past that I now want to address all the issues beforehand – Da Yi, I want to tell you the real reason why we can’t be together.”
Dong Yi stared at him in silence, unable to understand why Yu Mingyi, who had always avoided this topic, would suddenly bring it up now.
She couldn’t keep up with Second Brother Yu’s god-like logic.
Her thoughts were still focused on the secret of Panpan’s background, while he had already leaped ahead, leaving her utterly confused.
“Da Yi, when I saw the text ssage Xiao Qian sent , I had an epiphany.”
“Boss Qian sent you a text ssage? What did she say?” Dong Yi had no idea about this.
“It was the day we had our disagreent. At the ti, I chose to deal with it silently. But today’s incident reminded that my approach was wrong, and it hurt you.”
Yu Mingyi took out his phone and handed it to Dong Yi. Dong Yi was surprised to see the text ssage sent by her best friend to Yu Mingyi, with one sentence – “All n who try to destroy a woman’s confidence are scumbags. You can reject her feelings, but you shouldn’t avoid the issue. You have a low Emotional Quotient, scumbag!”
Such a straightforward ssage…
The intense, arrogant tone was definitely Chen Xiaoqian’s style.
After reading it, although Boss Qian’s way of scolding people was actually quite funny, Dong Yi felt her eyes tearing up.
Throughout all this, Xiao Qian never ntioned a word to her. Although Boss Qian always appeared carefree and untethered, as though she transcended ordinary life and rules, she truly cared for her friends. This friendship moved Dong Yi deeply.
“She’s the best person I’ve ever t.” Dong Yi sniffed and held back her tears.
During this period, Xiao Qian had always been sowhat cold toward Yu Mingyi. It must have been because of her. Actually, Yu Mingyi didn’t do anything wrong; it was just that Xiao Qian was protective of her friends. Once soone entered her sphere, no one else was allowed to hurt them.
Yu Mingyi had originally prepared a speech to explain everything, but when he saw how touched Dong Yi was by Chen Xiaoqian’s text, he felt an odd sense of unease. It seed like the two girls had built their friendship on a foundation of disdain for him, causing him to feel that he’d brought this upon himself.
“I chose to address our situation through avoidance before, even though Chen Xiaoqian had warned . I didn’t take it seriously, but today’s incident reminded that I can’t continue to avoid the issue.”
“It’s okay, don’t worry about today’s incident. I wasn’t hurt, and the egg didn’t hurt too much. Just wash it off and it’ll be fine…” Dong Yi was worried he would feel guilty, so she hastily reassured him.
Yu Mingyi shook his head, “The egg that hit you didn’t hurt, but when they slandered you as a mistress, didn’t that wound you deep down?”
Of course it did. Being called a mistress hurt her to the core, especially after the way he had hurt her before. But Dong Yi didn’t break down for two reasons. First, she had Xiao Qian at her side, which gave her the strength to endure. Second, she didn’t want her sadness to burden Yu Mingyi.
Even if the two of them couldn’t be togehter, she didn’t want to cause him any trouble. In the deepest part of her heart, he held a special place – the most important, most beloved, and most admired man in her life. For him, she could endure any injustice.
“I’m fine. In the future, I’ll be a psychologist. Xiao Qian says I have a talent for it, so I can manage my emotions. Don’t worry about it. You go and attend to your business; I’ll be fine soon.” As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, but she pretended to be carefree.
