Chapter 1467: Great to Have You (27)
“I guess Heaven hasn’t been blessing us with a child because of this reason. If we had a child, things would have been much trickier. Qianxue, you’re a good woman and I’m sure that there’s soone better than out there for you. I don’t want to hold up your ti any longer.”
“Are you acting like this because we haven’t been able to get intimate with each other? I actually wanted to consummate our marriage last night and I want to start trying for a baby. Hubby, I’ve already recovered from my illnesses. Shall we have a child together?”
Staring at her, Fan Shixin said, “I’ve already made up my mind. I won’t change it easily. I’ll make it up to you.”
“I want to know why you’re asking for a divorce.”
“I didn’t love you when we got married and I’ll never love you. Don’t waste your youth on .”
Shaking her head, she said, “No, that’s definitely not the reason you want to divorce . I know clearly that you didn’t love when we got married, but you still married anyway because you’re the only son and you didn’t want your parents to be upset. So why are you asking for a divorce? Unless it’s a good reason, you definitely won’t ask for a divorce. I want to hear the truth.”
“The reason is not important. What matters is, we must get a divorce.”
“Have you spoken to your parents about this yet?”
“No, this is between the two of us and I don’t wish to get them involved.”
“I don’t agree to a divorce,” Yang Qianxue refused vehently.
“I’ll have no choice but to force you, then.”
He then stood up and left.
A short while after he left, Yang Qianxue told Fan Shixin’s parents about the matter. Shocked to hear that their son had requested for a divorce, the elderly couple rushed to Wei Ni Estate and tried to find out what was going on.
Not trying to hide at all, Fan Shixin said softly, “Father, Mother, keep this to yourselves. You can’t tell anyone about this without my permission.”
“Just what’s the matter?” Mrs. Fan asked eagerly.
“Mother, Wansheng is still alive and she had given birth to my daughter.”
Mr. and Mrs. Fan stared at each other in shock. “What!?! Oh my god. How could that happen!?! Is that real?”
“Of course it is. However, Wansheng is not exactly living well now. She looks very different from the way she used to because of the burns that she had suffered. I just found out about this. I even stole my daughter’s hair sample last night and sent it for a DNA test. I haven’t told them about it yet, so you mustn’t breathe a word about this at all. I know what to do. However, I must get a divorce with Qianxue. Only after I’m divorced can I bring Wansheng and my daughter ho.”
Mr. and Mrs. Fan did not say anything else after hearing his words.
“Since she’s still alive, why didn’t she co back sooner? If she’d co back at the start, you wouldn’t have had to marry Qianxue.”
“I’m not sure if she had lost her mory or sothing else. Wait for my news. Go ho first.”
Mrs. Fan said, “Qianxue said that she’s not going to agree to a divorce. If she refuses to get a divorce, what are you going to do?”
“Mother, stay out of this. I’ll handle it myself.”
The elderly couple had no choice but to leave.
——
It began pouring at past nine o’clock. Although the rain was not heavy, it was extrely chilly.
Tang Yucheng brought Tang Mianmian back to his brother’s ho, leaving Mu Wansheng and Snowman alone at ho.
Fan Shixin visited her openly.
Noticing that the door was left ajar, he pushed it and entered.
Mu Wansheng sat by the fire to bake so marbles. It was an odd job that she had taken up. Although she could not see, her hands were rather nimble.
Snowman snuggled up next to her feet sleepily. Fan Shixin caught sight of her the mont he reached the door.
Sensing that there were noises, Snowman quickly stood up and barked at Fan Shixin.
Mu Wansheng put down the rack that she was holding and asked, “Who’s there?”
Snowman began barking as soon as Fan Shixin entered.
Feeling jittery all of a sudden, Mu Wansheng asked, “Just who is it?”
“It’s .”
She sprung up from her seat, and her heart began to pound rapidly. She was extrely distracted and at a complete loss for what to do. After calming herself down, she chose to feign ignorance and asked, “Who are you?”
Fan Shixin said with a frown, “You clearly know who I am. Can’t you recognize my voice?”
“Ah... you’re Mr. Fan who helped look after my daughter in the past, right? I got a great shock just now. What brings you here?”
He walked toward her while Snowman began to bark again. Mu Wansheng stopped it and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I ca to see you... because of sothing important, of course.” Fan Shixin walked toward her and stared at her bare face. “Wansheng, you’re not a good actor. Drop the act. You’ve already t so many tis before, why didn’t you just tell then that you’re Wansheng? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I’d mind the way you look? If you’d told the truth earlier, the three of us would have been living together happily now. Is this really the life you want? Wansheng, how heartless of you to be letting my daughter call another man her father.”
Pangs of panic engulfed Mu Wansheng. How did he find out about this?
How!?!
She initially wanted to pretend not to know who he was. However, it turned out that he already knew that her daughter belonged to him. “Don’t spout any nonsense. That child belongs to my husband.”
“Your husband? I’ve already gotten a DNA test carried out. She’s my biological daughter.”
“So what?” said Mu Wansheng, who could not continue pretending not to know him.
“So what? I’d been thinking that you were dead all this while,” he said with a look of agony.
“You can continue thinking that way. After all, that’s what I thought too. Ever since the mont I plunged into the river, Mu Wansheng had already died. I’m a whole new person now. I didn’t suffer from amnesia. I didn’t go back to the Mu family ho or look you up because I didn’t want to.”
“Do you bla for... failing to rescue you in ti? I actually made it there but it was all too late,” said Fan Shixin, filled with misery.
“I don’t bla you. The problem doesn’t lie with you. It was entirely my choice. Let’s just live our lives properly. We’re both married to different people now. We’ll let bygones be bygones. Don’t hurt Mianmian either. She’s still young. She already has a father now.”
A lump ford in Fan Shixin’s throat and he said, “You’re the one who hurt her, not . I never knew of her existence until now. You’re the one who refuses to let her be with her biological father. Wansheng, I know why you didn’t look up. You were afraid that I’d despise you for your appearance, weren’t you? Am I such a superficial man to you?”
