That dead child had given up his son, his father, and the Yingpu family’s reputation for a woman, preferring to be a free servant traveling the world with an adventurer. Fortunately, he still knew to write a letter every month to his old man to report his safety.
“Does he…” Yingpu Cangye asked hesitantly, a childlike worry seeping through his handsome face, “write to me too?”
“Of course! How could he not?”
At Yingpu Cangye’s question, Elder Yingpu’s face immediately flashed a hint of guilt. Long ago, he had deliberately prevented his unfilial son’s letters from reaching this grandson who was to inherit the family legacy.
“Hmm! That’s good.”
He had promised his grandfather he wouldn’t look, and he wouldn’t. But knowing his parents thought of him was more comforting than anything else.
“Of course he writes… how could he not…
Suddenly, a soft, tender voice with a hint of crying came from behind him, repeating the words his grandfather had said.
Ying Pu Cang Jie was deeply shocked.
This voice… no… it can’t be…
Stunned and shocked, he hadn’t even turned around when he was tightly embraced by a pair of soft yet strong arms.
“Pu Cang Jie! Where did you disappear to? I missed you so much! So much! Do you know that?!”
Tears suddenly burst from her eyes, instantly wetting Pu Cang Jie’s expensive suit. He didn’t have time to turn around; just the embrace and the loud, crying voice made him tremble uncontrollably.
She missed him?
After just a short three-day reunion, followed by nearly five months of separation, did she really miss him as much as he missed her?
“I…”
His hoarse, low voice couldn’t suppress his emotion. He grabbed her hands, slowly turning around in her embrace, but before he could finish a word, he was interrupted by Shang Ke Xin.
“I want to hit you! Punch you! But what I want most is… to eat something you made… huh?!”
Shang Ke Xin’s words and tears suddenly froze, as if paused on a video recorder.
She stared blankly at the face before her, and in an instant, her fair white face, which was only slightly reddened from crying, turned completely red.
“I’m… I’m sorry! I mistook you for someone else.”
