Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Xi was caught in a mix of emotions. Happy yet heart-wrenched, she could understand where Fu Qingxuan was coming from. Still, her heart went out to Jin Yu. Both were not at fault. The twist of fate was to blame.

Uncle Jin Yu’s face was burned beyond recognition, and he had lost his memory. No one knew of his pain throughout the years as he lived without a name and a home to return to. He was like a lost soul wandering off the face of the earth all alone.

The Fu family was also in pain. Not only were they looking for their daughter, but they were also in search of their missing husband and father. It was not the search that hurt the most, but the unending wait, ordeal, and incessant crushing of hope.

Fu Qingxuan sat there quietly like an animal on guard. With bloodshot eyes, he silently held Shangguan Yanqiu’s hand and stopped himself from crying.

He would not cry.

Fu Qingxuan had played many scenarios of the father-and-son reunion in his mind, but none of them were like this.

“Fu Qingxuan.” Shen Xi’s voice was raspy. With eyes welling up, she took one step closer to him.

Fu Qingxuan suddenly turned and gave her a chilling look. His voice was curt. “Get out.”

Left with no choice, Shen Xi decided to leave him some space. The young master was known for his sharp tongue and pride. He just needed time to think it through. He would be fine once he came around.

He had been in search of his father. He had been looking forward to meeting him. How could he resent him now?

She turned around and pushed Li Yuan’s wheelchair out.

Jin Yu faced Fu Qingxuan’s firm and cold eyes before letting out a sigh. He then swung his body around and was ready to take off.

Out of the blue, Fu Qingxuan shouted while glaring at him. “You, stay!”

Jin Yu’s eyes flickered with joy. He stopped in his tracks and nodded at Shen Xi and Li Yuan to ease their worry.

Shen Xi and Li Yuan stepped out of the room and closed the door behind them.

It was eerily quiet in the bedroom.

Fu Qingxuan was without a word.

Jin Yu had no idea what to say to him.

The child before his eyes was his son, the family he had been looking for. Yet right here and now, his son was spiteful of his presence. Fu Qingxuan was blaming him.

In the end, Fu Qingxuan was the first to speak. With bloodshot eyes, he was fixated on Jin Yu and deliberated for a long while before breaking the silence. “Why do you have amnesia?”

Jin Yu uttered, “I’m sorry.”

He did not know why he lost his memory. Since a long time ago, he was convinced the past was not worth remembering.

Later, Jin Yu believed that the past was a part of him regardless of whether he wanted to remember or not. Be it pain or joy, he should seek it.

Had he known he had a family, Jin Yu would never have waited until now to search for the missing pieces and his family.

He should have started earlier. Five years ago or even ten years ago.

No.

Jin Yu should have looked for them the moment he regained consciousness.

However, he wasted away so many years while they painstakingly looked for him.

“I don’t need your apology.” Fu Qingxuan yelled angrily at him and ensued with an interrogation. “Why were you disfigured?”

His amnesia aside, why did he have to get a new unrecognizable face? Where and how were they supposed to find him?

Before Jin Yu could reply, the young man suddenly burst into tears. Staring at Jin Yu with sad and questioning eyes, Fu Qingxuan choked up. “Do you know what Mom went through over the years? Why didn’t you come looking for us!”

Jin Yu could hear his own heart breaking into pieces. He opened his mouth but had no words to explain himself. That was right. Why did he not look for them?

He began to hate himself. What was he doing all these years? What did he do? Why was the time not spent looking for them!

In the living room, Shen Xi and Li Yuan were left to guess what was going on in the bedroom. Although the house was well sound-proofed, Fu Qingxuan’s furious questioning and screams did not go unheard.

Shen Xi gazed tensely at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan suddenly looked towards the courtyard and cried, “Kun Lun.”

Kun Lun approached the door as it pushed open. The person who walked in was none other than Fu Qingli. Kun Lun nodded at him. “Young Master Qingli.”

Fu Qingli was not surprised to see Kun Lun. He nodded back and got right down to business. “Where’s Fu Qingxuan?”

It was troubling enough that Fu Qingxuan took Mom to China but to bring Mom to Shen Xi’s home, the boy was asking for it.

“Young Master Qingxuan is inside.” Kun Lun was up for mischief for once. He was curious as to how the poker-faced and unapproachable Young Master Fu Qingli would react later.

Mr. Jin Yu was Fu Qingli’s father while Mr. Jin Yu was a teacher and a father figure to Boss. Where would this rivalry go from here?

Fu Qingli strode fiercely into the living room and greeted Li Yuan and Shen Xi with a nod. His cold eyes swept around the living room. Alas, his target was nowhere to be found.

Shen Xi was not in the mood to engage with him or even pay him a glance. Just look at that long face. It was as though people owed him money.

Unfazed, Li Yuan pointed at the opposite room and said, “Madam Fu and Young Master Qingxuan are in that bedroom.”

Fu Qingli could hear someone weeping the moment he walked into the house. Judging by the voice, it was Qingxuan. Furrowing his brows in confusion, he approached the room and pushed the door open without knocking.

“Meanie, no one is allowed in.” Fu Qingxuan sobbed while rubbing hard on his teary eyes. He did not want anyone to see him cry, especially Meanie. It was embarrassing and humiliating.

Fu Qingli knocked on the door and shouted, “FU QINGXUAN!”

Fu Qingxuan froze. Crying a river and bearing a tear-stained face, he swallowed his tears in difficulty and turned to Jin Yu. “Qingli, my oldest brother, is here.”

Jin Yu had some knowledge about the Fu family. They were Li Yuan’s business archrivals. Fu Qingli, in particular, was an outstanding opponent who was tough to beat. Jin Yu had once stood by Li Yuan during the duo’s face-off.

Thrown for a loop, Fu Qingxuan wiped his tears and dragged Jin Yu around for a place to take cover. He was all over the place. “Dad, you might want to hide. Qingli will kill you!”

Jin Yu’s heart melted when he heard the word “Dad”. He was caught off guard for a moment before a smile emerged across his face.

The child had been putting on a tough act, but he was a softie inside. He came harshly at Jin Yu, refusing to forgive him ever, yet here he was, all worried.

Scrambling to find a good hiding place, Fu Qingxuan opened the closet when the bedroom door swung open with a loud creak.. He turned to meet Fu Qingli’s profoundly frigid eyes and froze.
