Chapter 1353: If You Don’t Mind, You Can Call Me Dad TooTranslator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo StudioThis is a good thing . That was the first thought that appeared in Wen Fenglin’s mind when he heard that . However, he couldn’t bring himself to be happy at this “good thing” no matter what .
Yu Lili was very possibly Xian’er and Zhen Xianlang’s daughter? Was that a good thing? It wasn’t . At least to him, it wasn’t .
Wen Fenglin began to feel as if his heart was having trouble beating . The pain he felt was almost palpable . It felt as if a knife was piercing into his heart .
Not only had Zhen Xianlang gained his beloved woman, he had her bear his child . And, this man had abandoned the child and left her to her own devices while he happily established another family and had another son and daughter . How could he?Not only was his heart hurting, his world was spinning . Wen Fenglin couldn’t bring himself to accept such an earth-shattering fact . He held his head in his hand .
After a few seconds, he chuckled and asked, “You’re joking with me, aren’t you? How did you find out?”
Yu Lili knew how cruel this news was to Wen Fenglin . She couldn’t bear to add to his pain .
After thinking for a beat, she said, “Ou Ming has been helping me look for my parents for a long time . There was finally some development a while back . Today, we went to F Town…” Yu Lili told him all the details . She didn’t speak quickly . In fact, her words were peppered with hesitationShe still persevered and finished the story . While she was speaking, she was observing Wen Fenglin’s expression .
He closed his eyes and leaned against the table . There was no obvious expression on his face . In a corner of his heart were all sorts of complex emotions .
Yu Lili knew that such a fact was hard to accept . When she was done, she didn’t say anything more .
“You’d like to meet Zhen Xianlang and have me lead the way . Is that it?” Wen Fenglin took his glasses off and massaged his nose bridge as his lips lifted in a smile . It was evident that he wasn’t in a good mood; his dimples were shallow .
“No…” Yu Lili waved her hands in objection . “Ou Ming and I just felt that you should know . ”
Wen Fenglin smiled wanly . “Actually, you needn’t have told me . ” He put his glasses back on his face and looked up . He had regained his composure .
“So many years have already passed . I have no more regrets . Xian’er has been gone for so many years . Despite what happened, in my heart, she was always my wife . ” As he spoke, he stood up, “Regardless, thank you for telling me about this . Congratulations, Lili, for having finally found your parents . ”
As he spoke, his smile deepened . But, his smile hid a pain that no words could describe .
Yu Lili understood somewhat, and her heart ached for him . Wen Fenglin was a good man, but heaven had not been kind to him .
Meeting Yu Lili’s gaze, Wen Fenglin said, “Although Xian’er and I weren’t married, and nobody acknowledged our relationship, we have a love that was ours alone . In fact, speaking of that, your mother and I even pledged ourselves to each other in private before . ” As he spoke, his smile waned . He looked at her and asked, “If you don’t mind, you can call me ‘Dad’ too . ”
Yu Lili looked up to face his warm and gentle middle-aged man . She opened her mouth . In a voice that wasn’t too loud, she called, “Daddy . ”
Wen Fenglin’s eyes suddenly reddened . He looked at this “daughter” of his and laughed from the bottom of his heart . He reached out and touched her face . In a low voice, he said, “Alright . Just call me that when we’re alone . Don’t let your biological father hear it . I have something to do, so I’ll be leaving . ”
